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

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.

New Rocket Boasts
Gold Fourth Stage
DALLAS, Tex. hT>—The na
tional budget may make rockets
appear constructed of pure gold—
and, sure enough, at least one
boasts a gold-plated fourth stage.
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.
