He said launching directly
over the equator would make
possible establishment Of an
orbit that always would trace
the same path through the sky,
This would require a minimum
number Of communication sta
tons.
Mr.. Dempsey added that II
recent theories that deadly
radiation exists at high alti-
tudes except over the poles are
found 10 be correct, 1t may be
possible TO launch man through
the holes in a two-stage vehicle.
The first stage would place q
satellite in orbit and the Sec
ond would boost the craft
through the area Of least radia-
ton when 1t was over a pole.
Mr.. Dempsey estimated that
q typical equatorial launching
station might cost 500 million,
plus another 500 million for
Its communications system.
Mr.. Dempsey and Thomas G.
Lanphier, jr., another Convair
vice president, also disclosed
that the Air Force Wizard anti
missile missile concept, thought
to have been cancelled months
ago In favor Of the Army Nike
zeus project. is very much alive
in more advanced form.
They said the company is
using its own funds to develop
the Wizard program in Coop
GRAFTON with the Air Force.
Mr.. Dempsey said the Wizard
concept is much more than q
missile--it is a method of de-
tecting, intercepting and de-
stroying missile. This means
continental rather than area
defense, many times broader in
scope than the Bomarc missile
concept"

yChoquette
Bound, Gagged,
Robbed in Motel

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. %
(AP). - Jockey Johnny Cho-
quette was robbed of $l45 over
the week end by two men who
entered his motel room and
bound and gagged him with
adhesive tape and necktieS.
State police questioned half
a dozen suspects yesterday, but
all were released.
The 29-year-old Choquette,
a native of Canada who now
lives in Hollywood, Fla, had
just returned from the Atlantic
City Race Track Saturday
night when he heard a knock
on the door.
He opened it and was con-
fronted by a man who, he said,
looked like he had a gum"
The man pushed Choquette
inside and was joined by an
accomplish. Both men bound
and gagged the jockey and then
searched the room for money.
Detective Leroy Umholtz said
the motel proprietor knocked on
the door while the two men
were inside to tell Choquette
he had a long distance tele-
phone call. But one of the
men shouted that the jockey
was in the shower.
This apparently ratified the
two, Umholtz said, and after
the proprietor left they dashed
from the room leaving the door
ajar. The bound jockey was
found by another motel guest.

STRIKES and SPARES
By JOE WlLMAN

The Choice Of Grip Is Up to YOr
There are two basic types Of
bowling grips. One is a two.
hole ball with a hole for the
thumb and another for the
middle finger. The second type
is a three-holed ball with a
thumb hole and two holes for
the two middle fingers. Both
are In today'S drawing.
I know there are four and
five-hole balls, too. but they're
not in general use.
! don't think a bowler should
decide which type is best for
him until he tries them both
out. Personally, I used a two
hole ball when ! first began
bowling because they were the
most popular at that time. Now,
however, the three-hole ball is
much more popular, and most
beginning bowlers use this style.
Some of the stars who still
use the two-hole ball very eff
fectively, however, include Ed
LubanSki. Harry Lippe and Ed
Kawolics. I switched from the
two-hole ball to the three-holer
a few years back because of the
wear and strain on my middle
finger which was reduced with
the three-hole ball. Joe Norris
is another star who was forced
to make the switch.

ers used the three-hole ball

chance to make it next year.
He signed a new one-year
contract yesterday after the
Red Sox had taken their third
straight 20 victory over the
Senators.
The victories came in the
wake of a disastrous Western
trip which caused some observ-

would not be retained. He is
finishing a three-year contract.
Higgins told newsmen he was
delighted with the contract"
Il hadn't even given it a

said. "I've been too busy wor-
rying about how to win the ball

3. Field goal try. No. Your

The jumper championship
went to a 19-year-old veteran
of the show ring, Jack Be
Quick, owned by j. P. Wright
Of Salisbury. Md, and ridden
to two consecutive blues over
alarmingly difficult courses by
Kenny Smullen of Hebron, Md.
The old horse went so brill
liantly in fault-and-out class,
judged under FEI rules, that
he did three trips around the
course before the judges were
able to stop him. Smullen
thought that he had to con-
tinue jumping until his time
ran out, unaware that time did
not count until the jumpoff.
Xmas Takes Reserve
Reserve went to another old
timer. Xmas, owned by Leonard
Johnston and ridden by Rich
ards brother. Jimmie thinner
man. Xmas formerly showed
as Carverdale Lee, and his age
is estimated at around 20.
Green working winner was

from Middleburg, Va, with 20
points over a Maryland entry,
Todd Cores Royal Princess.
Maui Blue won every class he
entered except the ladies' green
working, which was won by
Royal Princess.
Entries in the show were
held down in yesterdays seS-
sion because of an early-morn-
ing downpour. The race track
at the Marlboro Fair Grounds,
