Page 3 THREE AREA MEN TRAINED FOR FALLOUT DETECTION In the event of an atomic at tack Bryan and College Station now have three men trained and qualified to detect the presence and amount of radioactive fallouts, it was announced by L. C. Elliot, Regional Manager of the new Federal Aviation Agency’s .Second Region. Bobby Clay, FAA chief airport traffic controller at Easterwood Airport has just completed an in tensive training course at Fort Worth, Texas in the effects of nu clear blasts and how to detect the presence of radioactive fallout with delicate detection instru ments. Mr. William S. Hall, Chief of the FAA Flight Service Station and Mr. Ted Wylie, Flight Service Specialist at Easterwood Airport previously completed the course at Albuquerque, New Mexico, and San Antonio, Texas, respectively. Training Realistic The training was not only practi cal, but realistic since as a vital part of the course, highly radio active capsules of Cobalt 60 were scattered over a wide area and each of these men were required to search them with a geiger coun ter. When the radioactive material was located, the use of long tongs was needed to place the capsules in a special 250-pound lead shield ing container. Proved Ability Victor Gardner, FAA,s Region Two Radiological Defense Officer, said at Regional Headquarters in Fort Worth, Clay, as did Hall and Wylie, proved his ability at radio active fallout detection and has qualified for a special license is sued by the Atomic Energy Com mission. These men will help form the hard core of the FAA’s Region Two organization of trained spec ialists in the detection of fallout. Gardner emphasized, “Because FAA people, during an enemy at tack, are committed to remain at their stations to furnish air traf fic control, it is planned to have trained radiological monitors in every FAA air traffic control fa cility in the southern United States and the Caribbean by July 1, 1960.” LAYOFF DIDN’T HURT RALEIGH, N.

The discussion came during Dr. Glen- camera weather detection, nan’s visit to the department and the weath- ‘Tender Trap’ Under Way in MSC Harold Westerman is in his eighth campaign as football coach at the University of Maine. (Continued from Page 1) gram lay in the fact that Russia is using its recent successes as propaganda for building up that nation in the eyes of the world as the number one space power. “I don’t believe we can stand by and let this happen,” said Glennan, “and so we are in com petition with Russia.” Distinct Difference Glennan said there was a distinct difference between the space re search program and the military missile program. He said they could not carry out the space projects without the help of the military, but the mission of the military in their research was so different from the scientific re search needed in the space program that it necessitated two separate bodies, each to specialize in their own field. Several Programs Next Glennan outlined the sev eral space programs now either in action or in the planning stage. He said the Mercury project had a threefold goal. The first goal is getting a man into orbit; the second is recovering him and the third is finding out what he can do while in orbit. He reported the program moving rapidly, but he added that $300 to $400 million would be needed before a man would go into orbit, and only then when all the systems and sub systems of the missile are reliable. Glennan said the NASA expected man to make his first orbital flight next year. He said the man would circle the earth in orbit three times, and then retrograde rockets will bring him to a slow enough speed to re-enter the earth’s at mosphere. Lunar exploration, including an orbiting satellite around the moon and a hard landing on the moon were expected very soon, the or bital shot probably this fall. He added that in three years a pay- load landing on the moon to gather and analyze material would be launched. Space Act Glennan qutlined the National Aeronautics and Space Act and told what it authorized. He said it authorized the NASA to take over research in aeronautics. At the time, the administration had 8,000 people, three large labs and other facilities. He said that in June of this year, the group would employ 19,000 people and six major laboratories, having a fiscal budget of $900 million. “I am hopeful that the advances we have made since September means we are on the right road,” said Glennan. Answers Questions In a question and answer period following his talk, Glennan re sponded to a question about the feasibility of nuclear powered rockets. He said his administra tion hoped to apply nuclear power to a rocket in 1965. He said the Atomic Energy Commission is working on the power source and the NASA is developing the rocket. He added that a ground test of the combination should be forthcoming in two years. To a question of what kind of education engineering s t u d e n t s needed to fit into the. space pro gram, Glennan replied: “In educating in engineering to day, we are developing a new approach in which interdisciplinary action is sprouting. The stiffening of requirements in all our schools is a necessity.” The Los Angeles Dodgers turned back Milwaukee, 12 games to 10, and beat San Francisco, 14-8, in regularly scheduled National League games in 1959. By BEN TRAIL Assistant News Editor “The Tender Trap”, a popular Broadway play about a New York bachelor and his war with mar riage-minded career women by the Aggie Players, opened Monday night in the Lower Level of the Memorial Student Center. Produced by C. K. Esten and directed by Harry Gooding, this comedy about the rigors of bach- erlorhood features Travis Madole as Charlie, the unmarried man who is surrounded by eligible young women who want to put the gold en ring through his nose. Women such as Poppie, played by Mrs. Betty Barbee; Jessica, as acted by Mrs. Dean Payne; Julie, played by Mrs. Marlene Rushing and Sylvia, played by Mrs. Libby Alexander ply him with fish, cheese and con- tiuous house cleanings, all in an effort to snare him in “The Ten der Trap”. Charlie’s married buddy, Joe, ac ted by Ray Simmons, comes to the big city to enlist his friend in a slightly illegel effort to manufac ture the pill which will cure the common cold. While in the process of testing this “cure-all”, Joe catches a romantic disease over one of Charlie’s string of girls and the plot begins to roll. Slowly but surely the circumstances press the bachelor to the brink of matri mony and tremendous party leads to the climax of the production. Supporting actors are Richard Reiser in the role of Sol, the beat trumpet player, and Perry Pope, playing the laboratory scientist called Earl. “The Tender Trap” stage crew consists of Grady Light, Joe La- Rue, John Waddell and Dozie Pliler. The house managers are Jim Pitts and Kathy Westbrook. The lighting is under the direction of Don Reynolds, the president of Aggie Players, and the sound is being managed by Gerald Schulze. The play will hep resented to night, Thursday and Saturday nights at 8. RELAX IN A CONTINENTAL Truval SPORTSHIRT $2" Here’s a Truval original you’ll find Ideal for Summer comfort!
