Secretary Andrew N. OVERLY,
whose resignation becomes eff
fective February %. Mr.. Scrib-
Iner has agreed to accept the
appointment. Former Gov. How
ard Pyle Of Arizona. an assistant
to the President, also has been
mentioned as a potential sue
cessor to Mr.. Hall.
Mr.. Alcorn served at one time
as speaker Of the house in the
Connecticut legislature and as
States attorney. He ran for
lieutenant governor in 1948 and
was defeated. In 1852. he became
a leader in the Eisenhower for
President movement. A success
full lawyer in Hartford, he has
taken keen interest in politics
for years. He is a graduate of
Dartmouth College, where he
was a track star. He has been
talked Of as a potential candi-
date for governor in 1858.
Connecticut was one OF the
States which made a tremendous
showing for the G. o. P. in the
recent elections. Not only did
President Eisenhower roll up
lead of 306,758 votes over Adlai
Stevenson. but the Republicans
carried all six congressional dis
tricts. taking the first-Hartford
district away from the Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Alcorn was active in
the campaign.
To Appoint Committee
In some quarters it is argued
that Mr.. Bliss and Mr.. Morhouse
not only come from larger key
States in any national election,
but that their experience as
State chairmen better qualify
them for the post of national
chairman.
Mrt Hall will appoint a nomi-
mating committee to canvass the
field of potential candidates for
the national Craftsmanship when
the national committee assem-
bles here next Saturday for its
first meeting since the Novem-
Der election. This committee
will confer with President Essen
hover, it is expected, early in
the morning OF January % re-
garding the selection of a new
chairman. Whether the Presi-
dent will make the decision or
leave it to the committee de-
ponds in part on whom the COM
mittee wants. The new chair
man emphatically must be ac-
ceptable to the President. Pre-
sumably. the National Commit
tee will accept the nominee put
forward by the nominating COM
mittee when it makes its report.
On the other hand. there could
be a floor fight.

Preparation of Satellite
Reaches Final STAGES

This is to prevent the dark
chromium from diffusing into
the bright aluminium.
Reflector Coat Added
Third, the coating of alumni
mum goes on. Now the ball will
look like a mirror. This is the
layer that will reflect the sun
and make the satellite visible cit
is hoped) on earth.
These first three coatingS are
four or five millionths of an inch
thick.
Fourth is the critical layer in
the battle against the suns vio-
lence. This is a layer Of silicon
monoxide 10 times as thick as
the earlier layers. DR.. HasS, who
developed the process of silicon
monoXide to protect aluminium
mirrors, said it is transparent but
highly effective in absorbing in
the mira -red of the sun and
emitting heat.
The thickness of this coating
could change the heat emission
from 2 per cent. to so per cent,
so strict controls are used dur
ing. this process.
Coating is not something done
with a paint brush. The object
to be coated is lowered into a
vat. Then vacuum pumps oper-
ate for about four hours to
create a vacuum inside the tank
This is to prevent any stray
particles from colliding with or
oxidizing what is about to be
dispatched into the tank.
Elaborate Process
Now the coating process be-
gins. The material for the coat
ing is heated till its starts to
evaporate. The particles that
evaporate will travel through the
tank at high speed to condense
on the surface Of the ball, which
lis turning constantly for an even
spread of the deposit.
1t takes only 80 seconds for
each of the first three layers
The last coating, because of its
thickness, will take about two
hours.
At the Naval Research Lab
oratory DR.. John P. Hagen,
project director for Project Van
guard, was unhappy at the idea
that seems to have gotten
around that a gold ball will be
the American contribution to
the international Geophysical
Year but happy enough other
wise at the progress to date.
He said the project is still
months and many experiments
away from the sphere that will
actually be launched and then

more months will pass before the
satellite is ready for encasing in
its rocket ship for the big trip.
To dispel the gold myth, he
explained that the magnesium
shell was electroplated with gold
to make the later surfaces adhere
better and to discourage cor
rosion.
Its like the front bumper Of
your car" he explained. There's
nickle under the chromium but
you don't say the bumper is
nickle- plated"
Gold has been chosen to cover
the inside structure of the satel-
lite. too, for its low corrosive and
low heat qualities.
Summary Of Progress
This is his summary of prog
resS to date:
l. The materials have been
chosen. All the basic research
for the shell was done with alu-
minum but magnesium was f.
nally selected for the first satel-
lite because of its weight and
strength. The planners saved
nearly two pounds by switching
to magnesium although they may
return to aluminium for later
satellites.
2. The rockets to propel the
satellite into space have been de-
signed and are now being built
and tested.
3. The decisions on the coat
ings have been made. The tests
now will concern thickness.
4. The group from the United
States National Committee for
the International Geophysical
Year has informed the Naval
Research Laboratory what ex-
perimentS are planned for in
clusion in the first satellite, al
though these decisions have not
yet been announced publicly.
5. The equipment for the ex-
periments is now being readied
at the Naval Research Labora-
tory and other Government and
university laboratories. All this
equipment will have to 20
through an exhaustive series of
tests to make sure it can with
stand the conditions it will have
to meet and still keep working.
s. The size. shape and weight
have been fixed for the first sa-
teliite. 1t will weigh 211a pounds
and nave diameter Of 20 inches.
DR.. Hagen explained that in
the first satellite. it has been
agreed that visibility from earth
should share equal Importance
with experiments. The structure
necessary to get the greatest
visibility. he explained, costs

snap into position from four
points on the satellite. A radio
transmitter inside the globe will
send messages to earth through
these transmitters.
DR.. Hagen made one point
clear. When the man-made sat-
elite finally takes off at a still
unannounced date. the testing
will be over. The first attempt
will be fully Instrumental up to
its q la-pound hilt.

away as 1900 niles. the at
mosphere is very cold but the
sun is shining strongly. There
are no clouds. The satellite will
be exposed to extreme sun radia-
ton.
ANY metal would absorb more
sun radiation than it gives of.
The satellite would rapidly heat
up and spoil the instruments
inside-batteries and transistors
which can only live close to room
temperature.
Needs Special Skin
1.-THE satellite. then. needs a
special skin as we need a special
skin for breathing. Our prob
lem is to maintain as constant a
temperature inside the sphere
as possible. The ideal is that
the sphere gives off as much
heat as it absorbs.
This cannot be completely
achieved because at times the
earth will be between the Satel-
lite and the sun. The satellite.
being In the shade, will cool of
but there will be inside coatings
to act as insulators and delay
cooling"
In testing various coatings.
DR.. Hass had to consider which
thickness was best to maintain
the heat balance he seeks, which
coatings adhere best and which
coatings reflect the sun most
effectively so the sphere can be
seen on earth.
These are the coatings chosen
to be applied over the gold
plated magnesium shell:
First a layer Of chromium will
be applied. This is chosen for its
adhesive qualities, like a base
coat Of nail polish before the red
goes on.
Second, a layer of silicon
monoxide goes on to act as a
barrier between the chromium
and the third layer. aluminium.

WAC'S OFFER PROGRAM
FOR COLLEGE JUNIORS

With a look to the future for
young college women, the Wom-
ems Army Corps has announced a
program called "WAC Summer
Training Program for College Jun
iors."
Here is how the program works:
If selected for training, the
young women will be sworn into
the WAC Enlisted Reserve as a
corporal, and called to active duty
at the WAC Center, Fort McClel-
Ian, Alabama, for a 4-week per-
iod. For this time, she will receive
$122.S0 payable at the end Of
training. She will be furnished
meals and first-class commercial
round-trip transportation between
home and the WAC Center. While
in training she will have no ex-
penses other than the personal it
ems she wishes to purchase for
herself. Clothing, meals, and hous-
ing are all furnished free.
After training the young women
will be given the opportunity of ap-
plying for a commission in the
WAC during the senior college
year.
Those young ladies who do not
complete the course, or who, dur
ing their senior year in college,
decide not to make application for
Army commissioning as second
lieutenants, WAC, will be dis
charged from the U. S. Army Re-
serve.
Additional information may be
obtained from the WAC Procure
ment Officer, Headquarters Third
U. S. Army, Fort Mcpherson,
Georgia.

succor, one for VISA. and the
other for the Soviet.
In the meantime we are faced
with the biggest peace time bud
get in history-$71 300, 200, 900. Ike
calls on business men to "avoid un-
necessary price increases, espec-
tally at time like the present
when demand in so many areas
press hard on short supplies" He
pleads that increases in wages and
other labor benefits be REASONABLY
related to improvements in produc-
tivity." He calls for a commission
to study and make recommended
tions for Strengthening the Gov
ernment's financial system. He says
we must economic, balance the
national budget and pay something
on the national debt and then, ac-
cording to his own budget, proposes
to spend money like a drunken
sailor.
Neither Roosevelt or Truman,
with all their orgy of extravaganza
could match Eisenhower who
breaches economy out of one COR
ner of his mouth and asks for bill
lions to sqpander out of the other.
Political Economy +
Our economy has become strictly
political" economy. It's incon-
sistent to preach thrift while we
throw away our substance all over
the earth. It's silly to throw away
billions in the Middle East and
waste millions right here at home
building public housing where it is
neither wanted nor needed, and
pirate and preach about the need
for economy.
The American Doctrine should
first set the good example. We
should show the world we can be
strong as we have in the past, con-
serving our own resources and for
tifying our own defenses. The Gi-
rections we go now-many of them
in the light of history lead to
chaos and national suicide. And
who will save US when we are ex-
hausted,
This example should be first set
on our own doorstep-economy
like charity begins at home. We
can't in conscience cuss out Wash
ington while we seek new WAYS to
dissipate tax money in Harrison
County, and run a hot trail to
Jackson or Washington for relief.
Reduced taxes, reduced spending
and public economy are essential
to our survival. Until the people
themselves suppress their greed
and demand good government at
home, we are on our way to infla-
ton and the biggest bust in re-
corded history.

Silhouette Snapshots

For a daytime silhouette shot to
be taken indoors, stretch a sheet
over a doorway or window, open
ing to a bright outdoor scene.
Pose your subject in profile
against this luminous white back
ground, darken the room, and
make a short time exposure.
That's all there is to it-except
check to see that the sheet is
smooth and unwrinkled, remem-
Der to set your camera on a tripod
or some other firm support, and
be sure your subject holds still
during the entire length OF the
time exposure.
To get the same effect at night,
stretch the sheet over an interior
doorway and put flood lamp be-
hind it. Post your subject-again
in profile-in front of the sheet,
turn off all the lights except the
food, and make a time exposure.
If you'd like to try an outdoor
silhouette, the best time to shoot
it is around sunset. Your subject
should be directly between your
camera and the setting sun. That
way, his body will conceal the
sun. IF this doesn't give you the
angle you want, aim so that tree
or building will block out the
sun Unsteady You'll probably find
it best to cut down on your ex-
posture time a bit to keep fore
ground details from coming
through. John Van Guilder

President Monroe must have
made mistake when he let his
political followers and the press
name mis- warning to the world to
stay out of the South and Central
Americas as the Monroe Doctrine.
The idea has spread until Tru-
man who tried to keep China out
of Korea and didn't-gave us the
Truman Doctrine. General Mar
shall got the crazy idea he could
make Nationalist and Communistic
Chinese sleep together, figured as
how he could dish out our billions
all over the world and convert
Communists into becoming Demo-
Gratis or Republicans. Though we
drmb taxpayers or our grandc;lil-
tren will have to pay for this wild
splurge into the third generation,
he let US call it Marshall Aid. He
didn't pay for any of it any more
than Eisenhower will pay for the
Eisenhower Doctrine, cooked up to
save the Middle East just like we
saved Korea, Egypt and Asia. In
fact Eisenhower is paid by US to
spend our substance in the Middle
East just like Marshall was paid
by the American taxpayer to dish
out Marshall Aid all over the globe.
Both Marshall and Eisenhower
are U. S. Army Generals, and ar
my brass is the most extravagant
class of spenders on earth.
What the country needs above
everything else right now is an
American Doctrine. This doctrine is
sc simple that even old dull Dulles
can understand it. We have no le-
gal or moral right to spend a single
dollar Of the peoples money any
where outside of our own country
unless we get a dollars worth of
something in exchange for it, or
that its expenditure is vital to the
defense of our own country. No
where in the Constitution is the
President or the Congress given
the authority to tax the American
people to support foreign govern
I1entS.
Many nations have gone busted
eXacting tribute from conquered
foes, but we are determined to be
the first to go broke feeding, fl
nancing and fortifying our foes.
We are the first to NEEDLE in the
affairs of people everywhere, and
itch to get in every dog and cat
fight wherever they prowl.
How can we finance Communist
Tito to the tune of billion, con-
template succor 10 Communist
Poland, and then thumb our noses
at the Soviet? If it is absolutely
necessary to destroy Communism,
why fool around about it in Yugo-
slavia, Poland or Egypt?
Under any circumstances how dc
we justify ourselves in pouring out
our wealth to Tito or Nehru, Yugo-
sIavia or India, to purchase their
neutrality with bride? They are
either for us or against US. You
can't trust a man like Tito who
has both hands outstretched fol-

Do you remember how much
fun you used to have shipping
silhouettes out of black paper and
decorating the old schoolroom
with your masterpieces? 1t seems
to US we devoted good part OF
February every year specializing
in profiles of Abraham Lincoln
and George Washington to be
tackled up on the wall.
Ever since those days, we've
somehow had a nostalgia fondness
for silhouettes-a feeling that car
ries over into picture taking, too.
That's why we thought we'd spend
a few minutes today talking about
silhouette snapshots-a very spe-
cial kind of black -and-White pic
ture you might enjoy swapping for
a change.
Like any other snapshot, sill
houette picture may be shot in
doors or out, in the daytime or at
night. But unlike the usual type
of picture, this time you want the
subject black and the background
white. Therefore, you have to
change the normal position of
your light to accomplish this re
verse" effect. And that, in brief, is
the basic principle underlying all
silhouette shots. Contrary to the
usual rule of having the lieht fall
on the subject from over your
shoulder, the light must be be-
hind the subject and coming
to1Durd your camera.
