.Ndsser Boost
U. S. Views Union
As Red Setback
BY EARL H. vOSS
Star Stan Writer

The union of Syria and Egypt
Is being viewed here as a big
boost for the pan-Arab aims of
the Egyptian President Canal
Abdel NaSser and a temporary
setback for communism in
Syria.
Initiative for the union, ac-
cording to State Department
information. came from nom
Communist Syrian leaders.
They took this drastic step to
forestall formation Of a power
full new cryptic Communist bloc
in the Syrian Parliament.
Elections scheduled for this
summer would have reflected
the greatly increased pro-Red
strength in Syria. Today there
is only one Communist in the
Syrian Parliament.
The most important act of
the new unified state is ex-
pected here to be the abolition
of all political parties.
1t will have little effect in
Egypt, where there is only one
legal party-Col. Nasser's. But
in Syria the prospect of the
abolition order already has
caused postponment of forma-
ton of one pro-Red party.
State Department Waits
The State Department so far
is taking no offcial attitude to-
ward the historic Syrian
Egyptian merger. pleading lack
of sufficient information of
how the new unified state will
be formed. But there is no
longer the disposition to regard
the union as an empty propa-
ganda gesture intended to dis
tract Arab attention from the
Baghdad Pact meeting in An
kara.
1t strengthens Col. Nasser as
the leader of the pan-Arab
movement. Presumably it in
creases the prospect that other
Arab states will be more favor
ably disposed to joining. And to
the extent that Col. Nasser can
more effectively coordinate the
policies of Syria and Egypt. it
might increase the pressure on
Israel.
This apparently genuine
m ovem emit toward union,
coming after a dozen or more
false starts in the last few

GA huge military transport

The Civil Aeronautics Admini-

said such a plane with AZ per-

The plane was bound for

The CAA at Los Angeles In

been informed by a witness that
he saw the big plane and a
single engine craft collide.
Sees Collision
A. j. Franklin telephoned
the CAA that he was driving
on the Santa Ana freeway when
he saw the collision.
The CAA said it had been
advised that a military air
transport service plane was
unreported after taking of
from nearby Long Beach mum
icipal airport. The plane, ac-
cording to March Air Force
Base, carried 35 military per-
sonnet and a crew of seven.
The plane wreckage exploded

parking lot on the Norwalk
sheriff's substation and crushed
and burned a number of radio
prowl cars parked nearby.

A Vernon policeman, Frank
Sweeney. told a reporter in a
shaking voice:
"A blast of FIRE lit up the
kitchen of our home here in
Norwalk.
II looked out the open kitch-

break and fiutter down.
Then I saw the big tall tail

Just three or four blocks away

Right away, people started
running down our street, and
by now the whole street is
choked up with people and
cars, trying to get to the scene"
Fire Companys Sent
The county fire department
said it dispatched a dozen
companies to the substation
fire and to another four or
five miles away in the Santa
Fe Springs area.

Office was sending ambulances

Falling wreckage apparently
cut power lines at several wide

lection activities.

.Herndon Gets
OK for Branch
Of University
Ruvensworth Site
Vetoed by Virginia
Bourd of Visitors
BY PAUL HOPE
star stan Writer

The 500-acre Bowman tract
near Herndon was selected yes
terday by the University of Vir-
ginia's Board of Visitors as the
site for a Northern branch coll
lege.
The board rejected the RAJ
vensworth site near Springfield
which had been Endorsed by
the four governing bodies in
the nearby area.
Harrison Mann. State dele
gate from Arlington who
headed a local site selection
group, denounced the Board Of
Visitors action and said it
means there will be no college
branch in Northern Virginia
''for some time to come"
Arlington Approves Site
However. the Arlington Coun-
ty Board in an effort to get
funds appropriated this year
for the branch, reconsidered
the matter late yesterday and
Endorsed the Herndon site. The
vote was 4-to-0 with Mrs. Leone
Buchholz, a Ravensworth
hacker, refusing to vote.
The Arlington Board called
on Alexandria, Fairfax County
and Falls Church to give their
backing to the Herndon site SO
"a united front could be pre-
sented to the General Assembly
in seeking construction funds
for the college.
The fight over a site has de-
layed establishment of the
branch on a permanent loca-
ton. The branch is now oper-
ating with 20 students in an
elementary school at Baileys
Cross Roads.
Chances appeared good that
construction funds would be
included in the new State bud
get after the four Northern
Virginia jurisdictions got to-
gether last week and indorsed
the Ravensworth site. The pic
ture was considerably confused
after the Board of Visitors ac-
ton yesterday.
Quick Action Necessary
DR.. Dabney S. Lancaster,
chairman of the State Council
of Higher Education, said his
group would have to move
quickly on the question, because
it must approve any appropria-
ton for construction of the
school.
The council is not scheduled
to meet until February "a and
the current session of the Gen.
eral Assembly will be almost
over then.
DR.. Lancaster brought up the
possibility it might not go along
with the Bowman location.
He said he certainly thinks"
the localities involved should
approve of the site, even though
they wouldn't have to allocate
funds to purchase it.
Council Defers Action
The council met last Mon
day, but deferred action until
the Board of Visitors approved
a site.
The Board of Visitors deci-
sion was announced after a
three-hour closed session yes
terday. Frank Talbot. head Of
the board. said the selection Of
the donated site at Herndon
was based on the conviction
that the site will best serve the
needs Of the communities in
volved considering present and
future. requirements.
Mr.. Talbot said that the de-
cision was nearly unanimous

Jubilant American scientists
and military leaders last night
hailed as an unqualified success
the United States slim 30
pound pioneer entry in the
community Of Sputniks."
The pencil-shaped "Explor-
er" space satellite was on its
18th trip around the world at
midnight since its launching at
the tip of an Army Jupiter-C
rocket at 10:48 pm. Friday. In
the ensuing time, the 80-inch-
long Explorer had logged nearly
half a million miles through the
darkness of space.
There was no doubt that the
instrument-packed missile was
up in the sky to stay-and to
stay a long time. It's military
godfather, Mai. Gen. John B.
Medaris. the .Army's missile
chief. said the Explorers speed
and altitude probably would
insure it a life of from two to
10 years. More cautiously, DR..
William H. Pickering, one Of
the leading scientists on the
project, wanted more time be-
fore predicting a definite life
span, but said the satellite
would remain in orbit several
months"
Ready to Try Again
Neither the Army nor the
temporarily eclipsed Navy
seemed ready meanwhile to rest
on the single achievement Of
Explorer I. 1t was reported that
the Navy was ready at Cape
Canaveral to try again-pos-
sibly tomorrow-with another
Vanguard test vehicle, and
Army authorities told newsmen
yesterday that another Jupiter
c launching would take place
sometime between now and
April"
Vanguard. the Nays nomi-
nee for outer space, has had
rough going in recent weeks. A
Vanguard test rocket collapsed
and burned last December
seconds after it was launched,
and last week another VAN
guard was dismantled and
ANONYMOUSLY trucked away to
make way for the Jupiter shot.
A Soviet scientist said in Mos
COW that a third Sputnik would
be launched soon, thus efTec-
lively spiking a rumor that
had Sputnik III already in the
air.
Red Sputniks Surpassed
Latest calculations on orbit
and speed fix Explorers maxi
mum and minimum attitudes at
about LOO and 1876 miles. and
its speed in the neighborhood
OF $4,000 miles an hour. It
circles the globe about once
every la minutes.
These calculations were the
Army's. They disagreed in
respects with those Of
the Nays Vanguard Comput-
ing Center. which calculated
the least and greatest distances
at 230 and 1000 miles, respec-
lively. The Vanguard center
said, however, that further
computations may require re-
vision Of these figures.
