 It is considered possible that the control of the ship in space could be managed by manipulating the power source. Shutting off the rockets on one side would make the ship veer in one direction. It could turn, or go up and down this way.
 The Germans used alcohol and liquid oxygen as fuel for their V-2s. American scientists are attempting to develop lighter fuels so that more can be carried in the rocket and its range increased.
 Col. Toftoy is a native of Ottowa, Ill. He transferred from the Uni- versity of Wisconsin to the West Point Military Academy. He served as Chief of Ordnance Technical In- telligence Units in the ETO during the war and will help direct the V-2 tests in New Mexico.
 The V-2 rockets weigh about l6 tons. The Germans used 8 war head which weighed about 22O0 pounds. Most of the 6 rockets which will be fired in the initial tests will be exactly as captured, although some will have American components." the War Department says.

in the interests of pure science, 1t could be done and witnessed by persons who are alive today. D. g.. scientists have the technical h1owl- edge and the materials to build such . space ship fl they were to concentrate their time and efforts on it, Toftoy claims.
 There are still countless prob- lems connected with missiles that travel faster than sound that are not fully understood or proved. It Is hoped that the Arny's tests of captured German V-2 rockets ct White Sands, N. M., will explain some of these and bring passenger carrying space ships closer to real lty. The Army experts are working tn close cooperation with civilian scientists in the tests Instead of explosives In the war head of the V-2s there will be scientific instrl- ments.

New York, May 23-(UP)-Three- yea1old Bella Raphael Simons, orplaned in a Hitler horror camp, ran off a transatlantic plane to- day into the arms of her new Ameican mother, and Sgt. Bert Simoas, who saw his adopted daughter onto the plane in Berlin yesterday, needn't have worried about her using the wrong half of her tvo- word American vocabulary.
 Belas first word was neither ''okay" nor "scram"-the two words of English, she knows-but little girls appeal, in German, for drink q water.
 And hat came only after the dark-hared, blue overalled child, had unlesitatingly embraced the wife of the American soldier who had adopted her in fulhllment of a battlefield VOW.
 Bella had arrived to share Mrs Jeanne amons' wait for the return of the husband and foster-father. Simons, aSssulting the Siegfried Line with the 1O8d Division early
 
 last year, swore he would give con- crete aid to victims of Hitlers persecution if he survived the fight. Bella, whose Jewish parents died in the Auschwitz concentration camp, vas the child he chose to make that Now come true.
 He adopted her through Army channels last October and yesterday le waved goodbye in Berlin with tle promise that your new momn1y VII take care of you until I get hene."
