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.”

Radar Discussion
Dr. T. Keith Glennan, left, discusses the er radar set after his talk in Guion Hall last
possibility of weather forecast radar with night. Glennan heads the National Aero-
Dr. Vance Moyer, associate professor in the nautics and Space Administration, which is
Department of Oceanography and Meteor- in charge of the Tiros project of satellite-
ology. The discussion came during Dr. Glen- camera weather detection,
nan’s visit to the department and the weath-
‘Tender Trap’

(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 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.
