Narcotics Traffic Worries Senate Delinquency Probers Into Texas and California WASHINGTON, OP) _ Senators investigating juvenile delinquency are concerned with the increasing narcotics traffic across the Mexi can border, especially into Texas and California. El Paso County Judge Woodrow Bean gave, in a letter, this des cription of the situation in his area. “It is just as easy for a juvenile to purchase heroin, marijuana, liquor or pornography in Juarez (Mexico) as it is for a 10-year old child to buy a soft drink in any city in the United States. “For your information, those good citizens who live in Juarez Quarter-Century Veterans To Be Presented Awards Faculty and staff members who have been with the A&M College System for 25 years will be pre sented awards by Chancellor M.

Wearing the ribbons will give everyone a chance to meet the new employees. Master of ceremonies for the event will be Dr. Paul Woods, professor in the Department of History and Government.

Berry, H. Lloyd fcleaton, John G. McGuire and George W. Schlesselman are from the college and system and will also receive pwards. South American Award Available A partial scholarship program to South America is being offered by the National Student Assn, for students interested in Latin Amer ican affairs and who have a know ledge of Spanish. The group will visit Brazil, Ar gentina and Uruguay during the summer of 1960. The leader of the group will be an outstanding professor in the field of Latin American Studies. During the group’s stay in each of the three countries they will meet with student leaders, visit universities, attend receptions, meet with the leading repi’esenta- tives of the governments, visit factories, speak with the leaders in private industry, meet with leading members of the clergy and do general sightseeing in the countries. and who constitute the vast ma jority are just as anxious for the present free flow of narcotics to be stopped as we are here in the United States.” Crime Link Studied To the extent that narcotics are involved in juvenile delinquency a Senate Judiciary subcommittee is taking up studies carried on by Texas Gov. Price Daniel when he, while a senator headed a special Judiciary narcotics control subcom mittee a few years ago. The cur rent juvenile delinquency subcom mittee has called as the opening witness in its latest series of hear ings (Jan. 22-26) another Texan— Treasury Secretary Robert B. An derson. Problems to Solve While the invitation to testify was addressed to Anderson, the detail^ of the problem are to be threshed out with two men under him—Narcotics Bureau Director Harry Anslinger and Customs Bureau Director Ralph Kelly. The senators want to know what can be done to more effectively curtail the flow of dope into the United States from Mexico, and how more cooperation to that end may be promoted between local, state and federal officials. Hearings To Be Concluded Later after hearing State De partment witnesses, the subcommit tee expects to conclude the current hearings. But it may reopen them later 'and invite witnesses from Mexican border areas to testify. Judge Bean likely would be among those called. In his letter to the Senate com mittee, Bean said the State De partment is taking a kid gloves at titude toward the problem for fear of offending the Mexican govern ment. Do Ybu Think for Yburself?

Chance Vought Aircraft of Dal las, which assembles the *Scout rocket for the National Aeronau tics and Space Administration, uses more than 100 square feet of gold plating in the rocket’s skin. The company says gold is gain ing favor' in space vehicles for many reasons, including its high heat reflectvity, relatively high melting point and resistance to cor rosion. The fourth stage of the Scout has its inner skin gold plated to protect the scientfic instruments from extreme heat caused by fric tion with the atmosphere. The plating is only .00001th of an inch thick and costs 60 cents a square foot to apply. Because the parts of the stage are so large, the modern methods of plating by electrolysis and vapor deposits are not practical. So the technicians and scientists reverted to a method centuries old. A form of gold dissolved in pine Green Algae Sweets Taste Like Cookies SEATTLE, Wash. <5>>—A 14- year-old girl popped a batch of sugar cookies into the oven and came up with, guess what? Sugar cookies for space men. Don’t give Vicki Pilgrim too much credit, though. She used her father’s recipe. Vicki’s fathex - , Dr. Ai’thur J. Pilgrim, is head of the biochem istry unit of the Boeing Airplane Co. Green algae, a kind of seaweed, long has been considered a likely source of food and oxygen for space travelers. One drawback: The stuff looks like scum and tastes like hay. Boeing scientists tried blanching some under fluorescent lights. It come out looking sort of like flour. Encouraged, Pilgrim asked Vicki to do the baking bit. She used algae in place of floui'—green al gae in one batch, white algae in another. Then, like Alice in Wondei’land, she took a bite of each. The green algae cookies tasted like baked hay. And the white algae cookies ? They tasted like cookies. “This represents considerable progi'ess,” said Dr. Pilgrim, “in providing a possible food for space travel. With all of the myriad other problems facing a space tx-av- eler, it will be impox-tant to make his meals as palatable as possible.” Revenue Service To Help Nationals Robert L- Melcher, foreign student adviser, announced to day that a man from the Inter nal Revenue Service will be in his office, 27 Milner, on Feb. 10-11 from 2-5 p. m. to help all foreign nationals fill out their 1959 Income Tax Retums. oil is sprayed on the part to be coated. This then is baked twice in ovens and the coating turns to pure gold. Gold also has another possible value for military aircraft, which radiate considerable infrared rays. Some antiaircraft missiles are based on the missile’s ability to zero in on anything emitting in-' frared rays. Company scientists say that by preventing structural heating through use of gold coating on the internal hull of the plane, heat radiated from the engine through the plane’s fuselage can be reduced substantially. The firm also has used gold coatings on, certain copper electri cal wiring assemblies to lengthen their storage life.
