On the Air

Walt Disney finally Is en-
barking on that journey Q
vast segment of his young tel
evision audience seems to have
been eagerly awaiting-the
trip into outer space. He'll
blast of Wednesday night at
1870 (WMAL-TV.
This may be the zero hour
for Captain Video" and the
other flctional heroes who
range the interstellar reaches
on the TV screen. After
Wednesday night they won't
be able to get away with a
thing. Their audience, we'll
schooled by "Disneyland,"
will know more about space
travel than their writers.
This Man in Space" chap
ter in the Disney TV series
was previewed the other night,
giving T'V critics a rare oppor-
tunity to perform q service
akin to that done by drama
and movie reviewers. In this
case, the service is to pass
along the same advice usually
attached to Disney ventures:
See It!
Strictly the Facts
This advice applies not only
to the young but also to their
more securely earth-bound
elders. who feel that four or
five miles is quite far enough
to get away from this planet.
For Disney, the man who has
and hires the greatest album
dance of imagination in enter
tainment, has Stunned fantasy
in favor of science here.
Man in Space" would win
the instant approval Of Sergt.

facts ma'am. This is what we
know about rockets, about con-
ditions beyond gravity and
what scientists expect in the
foreseeable future. All of it
Is set forth most delightfully."-,
embellished generously with
comedy and clarity.
The 'Disneyland" report on
where we stand in the matter
of space travel is divided
roughly into three sections.
The first traces rocket propul-
sion from the Chinese sky
rocket to modern roaring mon
sters being tested at the White
Sands Proving Ground. The
second Is a cartoon sequence
detailing the problems man
will meet out in space without
his gravity. The third, also ami
mated drawings, traces in de-
tail mans future first flight
into space.
Comedy Plentiful
This emphasis on the facts
Of space travel, it might be well
to point out, does not mean
that the imagination of the
Disney artists has been ham
pered. They start right out
with a laugh in Man in
Space" with a daft cartoon
sequence showing a pair of
Chinese pelting one another
with skyrockets Of rapidly in
creasing size.
They have dug up some
mighty funny old newsreel
shots, too. Man got pretty
zany about it at times while
trying to go someplace in a

have been drawn up and approved
by the authorities. He said con-

Flood Projection Is Purpose
Of Surrey To Ese Made Here

\ survey of the Wilson Run and
Little Youghiogheny watersheds,
with a view of providing flood pro-
lection for the Oakland area, will
be undertaken by the Federal gov
eminent as the result of recent
action of the Oakland Mayor and
Town Council.
The survey, which viii be done
az uo cost to the municipality, was
requested by the town under terms
Of the Federal Watershed Protec-
ton and Flood Prevention Act.
which is administered by the Soil
Conservation Service of the De
partmcnt Of Agriculture. Upon
completion Of the survey, recon-
mendations and cost estimates will
be submitted to the Mayor and
Town Council for approval or re-
lection. Cost Of any construction
would be borne jointly BY the town
and the Federal government.
Mayor Joseph limbaugh, who
has asked the cooperation of the
County Commissioners i'm the
project, said it is probable that a
flood control plan would include a
series Of small impounding dams in
the headwaters and the dredging
of the Little Yough to provide
faster movement Of water during
times Of heavy rainfall.
Under terms of the Watershed
Protection and Flood Prevention
Act, local officials may make APP
plication to the Federal govern
ment for technical help in working
out and applying a watershed work
plan and determining its feasibility,
and may ask for Federal funds for
a share of the costs of installing
the needed flood prevention and
water management practices. Lo-
cal governments, to qualify for
Federal aid, must acquire all
necessary land and rights of way,
assume an "equitable' part of the
projects cost, arrange for opcr-
alton and maintenance Of facili-
ties and secure necessary water
rights. No Federal funds will be
available for purposes other than
flood control of soil conservation,
but the town or county may in
cIude other projects, such as a
water supply system or recreation
al facilities, providing such costs
are borne by the local govern
ments.
