that Mrs. Allen and her abduc-

Some Satellite
Data Secret

The Pentagon's top research
man said today the free sharing
of information from the earth
satellite this Nation plans will
not extend to all details of
equipment and launching.
The White House announced
July 20 that the United States
will undertake to launch a bas-
ketball-sized satellite to circle
the earth for several days or
longer. travelling 200 to 800 miles
up at speed of $4,000 miles an
hour. 1t is hoped to launch the
object in 1857 or 1858.
Aid to Russia Protested
The White House announce
ment said the data collected
will be available to all scien-
lists throughout the world"
Some members of Congress pro-
tested this would be an unwar-
ranted help to Russia.
Donald A. Quarles, assistant
secretary Of defense for re-
search and development, said
in a copyrighted interview with
the magazine u. S. News and
World Report that the informa-
ton gained from the satellites
flight will be made freely avail
able to scientists everywhere,
but he added:
However, it will be necessary
for some of the equipment and
technical details for launching
the satellite to remain clas-
sified."
Designed by Private Scientists
MIR. Quarles said the Defense
Departments role in the prof.
ect will be to make available
1.-The rockets, the control tech
niques and the launching IA
cilities." The satellite will be
designed by private scientists,
he said, "but within the capabili-
ties that the Defense Department
can furnish for launching"
Asked whether the project will
have military significance, Mr..
Quarles replied:
only indirectly; this satellite
does not have a military mis-
sion. 1t is to advance science ;"

KANSAS CITY, Aug. s (P.-
The discovery of the nude body
of attractive Mrs. Wilma Allen
touched off an intensive two
State search today for her killer
possibly a sex maniac.
Mrs. Aliens body was found in
a pasture 20 miles southwest OF
here yesterday. three days after
she disappeared while shopping
in Kansas City. She had been
shot twice in the head and her
hands were tied behind her back
with a pink scarf.
Mrs. Allen, 34-year-old mother
of two young sons. was the wife
of William r. Allen, wealthy au-
tomobile dealer.
Law enforcement officers in
Missouri and Kansas believe Mrs,
Aliens death could be attributed
to sex motive. Robbery, how
ever, was not ruled out as pos

missing and her purse. found
several miles from the body, also
was empty.
Many Puzzling Angles
Officers said puzzling aspects
of the case included:
Why the killer placed nearly
all of Mrs. Aliens clothing in
the trunk of her car. The
bloodstained car was found last
Friday near Kansas City's Union
Station.
Why the body wasn't hidden
Why her car was parked
beneath a viaduct near down

Why Mrs. Aliens purse was

it could be easily seen-if the
killer were trying to cover his

Clark SOybean Recon-
mended Despite Blight
Trouble

The new Clark variety Of soy
bean is still being recommended to
Delaware growers for planting de-
spite serious attacks Of pod and
stem blight which affected it in
some areas this year, says Henry
Indyk, agronomist at the. Univer-
sity Of Delaware.
Although this fungus disease ap-
peared to affect Clark worse than
other varieties this year, particu-
larly in the southern part of the
state, no sOybean is resistant to it,
Indyk says. The disease shows it.
self by the appearance Of small,
black fruiting bodies on the pods
and stems. Most noticeable symp-
tom is at harvest time when the
infected seed is covered by a gray
ish white growth that gives it a
moldy appearance. The infected
seed does not fill out properly,
either.
Pod and stem blight has not been
a serious problem in the past eX-
cept for the problem years of 1943
and 1947, Indyk reports. Seasons
with high humidity and rainfall,
j like that which many parts Of the
state experienced this past August,
are the ones most likely to cause
pod and stem blight. This is par
ticularly true when a wet spell
hits during the time the plants are
maturing.
Clark, the newest soybean varie-
\ ty to be recommended for Della
ware, was tested for 6 years before
being given an OK, IndyE says. At
no time during the tests did pod
and stem blight show up as prob
lem. 1t was far and away the best
variety in the trials and has given
unusually high yields on farms OF
many growers who have tried it
commercially for the first time. In
addition to its high-yield ability,
Clark is resistant to lodging and
shattering and also produces good
quality seed that is high in oil.
To cut down pod and stem
blight, Indyk recommends that
seed known to be disease-free be
planted. Otherwise, seedlings are
killed either before they emerge or
soon afterward
Other. sources of the infection
are diseased stems from the old
CROP which have overwintered in
the field. So, where soybeans are
grown continuously in a field year
after year instead OF being rotated
with other crops, Indyk recon-
mends fall plowing Of all soybean
| residues.
But, if you can rotate crops az

check, by all means do so, he says
