ships, some bad moments.

had to sit still at Huntsville with the rest Of our

Russians had a satellite capability. was just
disappointed, and little bitter, that we hadn't
been abe to do il before they did. Il made me
very blue to think that the Kremlin was going
to reap the propaganda harvest Of having been
first into space.
Looking back now, I'm not sure that was
right The Russian Communists may well
have done themselves an III turn by humhling
US in the space race. Unwittingly, they made
the sleeping American giant awaken.
As il happened, the newly designated Secre-
tary Of Defense. Neil H. McElroy, was visiting
ABMA when the news erupted. told him.
"If you 60 back to Washington tomorrow,
Mr.. Secretary, and find that all hell has
broken loose. remember this. We can get a
satellite up in sixty days"

Eighty-four days later we had a satellite up.
We could have done II within 90 days if il
hadn't been for the requirement Washington
laid down, that the satellite must carry scien-
tiic instruments for the ICY program.
Actually, we didn't have much TO do at
ABMA in those "a days. Our Jupiter-C's were
practically ready to 60. The big job during this
last period was done out in Pasadena at the
JPL. They had TO build the new ICY satellite

We got another important break when the
Defense Department gave US the "go-ahead,"
in the fall Of 1855, on the .5OO-mile interme-
date range balliStic missile. Jupiter. As part
Of the program, we persuaded the Pentagon to
let us remodel II Redstones and fl them out
with rotating upper stages Of the clustered
Scale-Sergeant rockets.
Jupiter-C's, we called them. Officially, they
were to be used for the study Of the re-entry
problem Of the new Jupiter lRBM. We did
nor point out that, with minor notifications,
they could also serve as satellite vehicles.
Bit by bit, we made Roadway. The Army
gave us magnificent support. On February ],
1856. our organization was given separate
identity as the Army Ballistic Missile Agency,
and Major General John B. Medaris was
named Commanding General. He turned out
to be a fighter from the word 60. and he
backed our satellite project to the hilt. Up in
Washington, Lieutenant General James M.
Gavin and his Research and Development
people were with US 100 per cent.
By September. 1856, we were ready for the
fight test Of the first JupiterC. Il was to show
whether the rocket clusters would operate sue
cessfully when fired in fight from the nose Of
a Redstone. They were the key to the whole
project.

The First Test

The missile was loaded into plane to be trans
ported to the Air Force firing range. Il was in
Al condition for launching.
But il wasn't when il reached Cape Canav-
eral.
The weather was bad and the pilot had had
to make rapid descent. The atmospheric
pressure increased rapidly. and the rocket,
which hadn't yet been presumed, buckled.
We thought we'd have to scrap the entire
missile and start on new one. But William
Mrazek, a resOurceful fellow who is the direc-
tor Of our Structures and Mechanics Labora-
tory, pumped compressed air into the rocket
and it resumed its correct shape.
On September 70 the test took place -
successfully. The rocket clusters performed
perfectly, and the missile scared J, 800 miles
the farthest any American missile had flown.
They tell me that danced with joy as the
reports came in.
The old cucumber did it," yelled.
There was, Of course, still more to be done.

even with the board they would get
better service.
At the present time the Highway
Department employs seven janitors.
Whether present janitorial personnel
would be retained or replaced was
not discussed.
The request to install their own
PIX system was made so that "better
service would be available" with their
own operator on their own switch
board. Greiner said some offices
have no secretaries to answer the
phone and calls come in that are not
answered.
The central telephone system at
the Capitol is paid for on a proper
tionate basis by all departments, and
there is contract that runs five years
with the telephone company. There is
about 215 years yet to go on that
contract. If the Highway Department
were to install their own PIX Just
for the fiscal year 1958-1959 other
departments would have to pro-rate
some $4,217 among themselves.
The Highway pays now about
$831.15 month for telephone serv-
ices and they figure with their own
system it would cost about $825.O0.
However, their $825.OO figure did
not include the switchboard operator.
Other departments do not look
kindly on having to make up the diff
ference during the remaining period
of the contract if the Highway pulled
out of the system. Greiner said it
would be about 10 months before
the transfer could be completed.
Board of Examiners members
agreed they didn't want to pay any
more out of their budgets to run
the Highway Department.
Greiner pointed out "this was
request from the Highway Commits
sion', and the board took the matter
under advisement.
