Eisenhower denied reports that

Y anguard Discharges
W eather Information
Can Absorb Data
On Nuclear Blast
WASHINGTON (IP)—The high-flying Vanguard II satel
lite sent out batch after batch of weather information Wed
nesday and one of its proud parents said it may prove cap
able of spotting a nuclear explosion.
Another scientist said the electronics pictures it has
transmitted to ground stations have already proved good
enough to distinguish between clouds and horizons.
The satellite was launched Tuesday.
Dr. John P. Hagen, director of the Vanguard division of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was
asked about the possibility of nuclear explosion detection in
an appearance before the House Space Committee.
Rep. James Fulton (R-Pa.) - * -
wanted to know wether Van
guard II could spot a nuclear
explosion and immediately
send back information on it.
Can Spot Explosion
“I would think so, yes,” Hagen
replied. He then added he wanted
to wait for more data from the
satellite before saying just how
small a cloud it could detect.
Hagen said, to another ques
tion, that it is too soon to specu
late on the possibility of a satel
lite detecting missiles in flight.
Meanwhile the first batches of
cloud cover information gleaned
by radio from the space sphere
were being rushed to the Army’s
Signal Corps Research Laboratory
at Ft. Monmouth, N. J. for analy
sis.
Must Analyze Details
Dr. William G. Stroud Jr., chief
of the Ft. Monmouth unit which
devised the cloud cover experi
ment, told a reporter it will take
several weeks to analyze any de
tail concerning the cloud cover
noted.
Scientists at Monmouth hope to
derive a crude picture—something
like an aerial photograph—of the
cloud cover in the sunlit parts of
the satellite’s orbit during the two
weeks life of the Vanguard’s
scientific information batteries.
Stroud remarked that the sig
nals being received ax-e very com
plex.
Tickets Moving

afternoon was Miss Ann Rudder
of A&M Consolidated High School.
Miss Rudder reported that she and
some other girl classmates would
assist with the decoration of Sbisa
for the dance. A background of
fish nets and small fish decora
tions will be used.
In charge of arrangements for
the dance are Cloud; Dan W. Deu-
pree, vice president; Chax-les W.
Moore, secx’etary-treasurer; and
Eddie M. Dyer, social secretary.

situation.
Rudder pointed out in the meet

son they were leaving the Corps.
He repeated the request he made
to unit commandex'S Friday that

RE Week Speaker
Ways to Marriage
Given by Remley
By ROBBIE GODWIN
Battalion Staff Writer
“There is no magic responsible
for the successful marriage,” said
the Rev. Dr. Ernest Remley in his
fourth talk of the Religious Em
phasis Week series.
Dr. Remley picked “Courtship
and Marriage” for the topic of his
talk today ixx Guion Hall. He said
marriage can provide the oppor
tunity for wonderful comradeship
and affection, or for degxading
contention. He added that the de
velopment of a fine marriage takes
hard work, much understanding, a
4 AF Juniors Take
Air Academy Tour
Four outstanding Air Force
ROTC junioi’s visited the United
States Air Force Academy near
Colorado Springs, Colo., last week
end.
They made the trip with the Ag
gie pistol team which competed
with the academy, University of
Wisconsin and University of Cali
fornia.
Making the trip were Bill Heye,
J. C. Bux-ton, Ken Dyson and Allen
Dudley.
The gx-oup left College Station
Friday afternoon by Air Force
C47 and after a short layover at
Waco’s Connally Air P’orce Base,
arrived at the academy early Fri
day night.
Satui'day the four cadets toured
the academy, visiting the classes
in session.
“We were particularly ixxxpressed
with the judo classes that we saw,”
Heye said.
An interesting sidelight was that
the prince of Greece was visiting
the academy Saturday, Heye said.
The Prince granted amnesty to all
cadets for all punishment amassed
through the year to that date, said
Heye. The amnesty-granting was
in line with a tradition at sexvice
academies that visiting heads-of-
state can make the move, Heye ex
plained.
Heye said the group was olso
impressed by the modern arclti-
tectux-e of the academy and the
landscape surrounding it.
“Although the cadet wing is only
1,100 men strong, the school has
ti-emendous spii’it to be as young
as it is and as lacking in old
traditions,” Heye said.
The school expects to reach its
authoxazed strength of 2,500 next
year.
The group returned to the cam
pus Sunday afternoon.

stubborn loyalty to common re-
spoxxsibilities arid a common de
votion to high spixntual values.
Di\ Remley said a fine marriage
must have three things: total com-
xxxitment; community x-esponsibil-
ity; and spiritual loyalty.
The speaker quoted a part of
the marriage ceremony to stress
his first point. He said marriage
calls for “love and faithfulness in
plenty and in want, in joy and in
sox’row, in sickness and in health
. . . so long as we both shall live.”
He added that marriage properly
understood is an unconditional al
legiance; thex-e is no escape clause.
About community responsibility,
Dr. Remley said most marriages
produce children who ax-e either a
blessing or a burden to the com
munity. He said since this is so,
the community has a x-ight to de
mand certain maturity and whole
someness of marriage partners.
About spiritual loyalty he had
this to say: “Marriage must have
a value center of faith in God and
obedience to God if it is to be as
fine as marriage can be.”
He said people who accept mar
riage as a relationship on these
tex-ms are ready for marriage.
He added that they will readily
undei'stand the gx’eat definition of
love written to the church in Co-
idnth by Paul:
“If I speak in the tongues of
men and of angels, but have not
love, I am a noisy gong or a clang
ing cymbal. And if I have proph
etic powex-s, and understand all
mystexies and all knowledge, and
if I have all faith, so as to remove
mountains, but have not love, I
am nothing. If I give away all I
have, and if I deliver my body to
be burned, but have not love, I
gain nothing.”
Dr. Remley then gave some def
initions of love.
He said, “Love is patient and
kind; love is not jealous or boast
ful; it is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own
way; it is not irritable or x’esent-
ful; it does not rejoice at wrong,
but rejoices in the right. Love
bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all
things.”
