Tenth Attempt
ToOrbit Satellite
BY WILLIAM HINES
star Stah Writer

Today's launching was the
10th attempt by the United
States-and the fourth by the
Army-to establish an earth
satellite in orbit. Three United
States-launched satellites, one
a Navy Vanguard test sphere
and two Army Explorer pen
cilS," achieved success.
Movement Tracked
Progress of the satellite in
its first crucial trip around the
world is followed by ground sta
tons dotted along its projected
path. These stations pick up
signals emitted by the satel-
lite as it passes overhead and
sends word to the Vanguard
Computing Center in the 800
block of Pennsylvania avenue
NV.
The fact that the satellite
has gone into orbit is usually
known when 1t passes over the
last tracking station at San
Diego. Calf. BY that time, 1t
has made almost a complete
trip around the world. The
San Diego signal usually comes
about 80 minutes after take
of time.
Another half-hour for check
ing and double checking nor
mally follows. Then the word
of a successful launching is
given out.
Specifically. today's Jupiter
c rocket and its precious cargo
looked the same as the other
two Army-launched birds.

Mr.. Cohen replied: "He has

Council OF Independent Savings

threatened with extinction.
Mr.. Cohen said he objected"

welt would have TO be paid to

gated $685.. $50, 277 on December

per cent Of the total savings
and loan resources in Mary
land"
Maryland has no Supervi-
sion "of any kind" Of building
and loan or savings and loan
associations, he said.
The league" Mr.. Gottschalk
said, would heartily indorSe
legislation by the national Con-
gress which would give to the
Federal Home Loan Bank
Boards the authority to control
the advertising of uninsured
associations soliciting business
across State lines.
1T is our hope that events
during the past year which
have left up to this hearing
today might prompt our Mary

savings and loan associations
at the forthcoming session of
our General Assembly in Janu-

More Efficient Fuel
For this trip. a more efficient
solid fuel propellant was used
in the final two stages of the
Jupiter-C to compensate for
the added weight and to pro-
pei the satellite into a higher
orbit. The Army said details
of the NEW propellant are
secret.
Explorer w was designed
solely for the radiation expert
ment. 1t carried two Geiger-
Mueller counters and two So
called scintillation instruments
TO record the radiation phe-
nomena completely for the first
time.
The first two Army satellites
| indicated that cosmic radiation
/ in space is considerably higher
than anticipated, but they
lacked instruments to provide
full information.
Scientists hope to learn what
causes the radiation and
whether it emanates from the
sun or inter-stellar space.
The newest moon" was
launched at an inclination of
A degrees from due north. re-
portedly toward an eliptical
orbit that would carry it as
far as l.750 miles from the
earth and swing it back as
close as ITS miles.
Cross Over California
On its first swing around the
earth. it was expected to cross
Newfoundland. England, Gen.
trail Europe, Turkey. India and
Australia. Then it would loop
across the Pacific, crossing the
United States coast near San
Diego. Calf. 1t would traverse
the United States In a south
west-to-northeast direction.
This orbit would carry Ex-

to last about two months. The

Col Hunter said IL is impera-
tive that the markets be va
Gated by July Of next year so
that construction Of the bridge
and freeway In the area can
begin on September Is. 1859.
Naturally. these dates repre-
sent a stage in a comprehensive
construction schedule so phased
that all portions Of the South
west freeway will be completed
in an orderly and useful way"
he declared. ANY delay in this
legislation viii delay the whole
project"
He also said the dates "have
been set with the view Of giving
tenants in the area the maxi
mum time possible for them to
relocate or make other arrange
ments."
Contracts Let
J. N. Robertson, head OF the
District Highway Department,
testified that contracts totaline
IS million have been let for the
Southwest freeway which is al
ready under construction from
Fourth street S.W. eastward.
He said additional contracts
totaling 81 million would be
awarded in the next few
months.
d. S. Brinkley. chief planning
engineer Of the Highway De-
partment. explained that the
entire fish market must be
demolished so that q temporary
Maine avenue can be built to
handle trafflc during construc-
ton.
Earlier in the hearing, attor-
ney Edward Colladay. repre-
Senting restaurants and fish
dealers in the market, de-
manded poStponement of DEM
clifton until permanent new
sites were available to his
clients.
Mr.. Colladay argued that il
would be possible to permit two
thirds Of the market to remain
intact during construction if
the temporary Maine avenue
were built behind rather than
through it.
Mr.. Brinkley cited three
principal reasons why he con-
sidered Mr.. Colladay's proposal
impossible. He listed them as
follows:
l. The parking area for the
wharf (which will remain open
during construction would be
eliminated If traffic were routed
behind the market. Without
parking space, access to the
wharf by boatmen and the
public would be extremely diff
ficult.
2. Heavy trafiic at the res
taurants' very doors on one
side and an immense con-
struction project on the Other
side would create highly I'M
favorable BUSINESS conditions.
3. If the temporary Maine
avenue were routed behind the
market. the only marine rail-
way in the area capable OF &C.
commodating large boats woulC
have to be removed.
A House District Subcom-
mittee will conduct q hearing
on the Districts request FOL
legislation to rae the market:
