Huge Solar Furnace on Mountointop
Urged on Senators by Scientist
By the Associated Press

Using q glittering model Of
mirrors. a scientist assured
Senators yesterday this country
should speed construction Of
the worlds largest solar fur
mace.
DR.. Knox Millsaps Of the Air
Force Research and Develop
ment Command told a Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee
that So million is needed to
complete the huge scientific
testing center atop the Sacra-
mento Mountains in New Mex
leo.
By use Of a giant 18-story
screen Of mirrors mounted on
circular railroad tracks. the
scientist said temperatures
above 1900 degrees could be
developed.
DR.. Millsaps said these win
be able to convert any known
metals and materials to liquid.
Needed for Space Vehicles
DR.. Millsaps. a short. plump
man with long dark hair, said
the high temperature tests are
/ needed for developing inter-
planetary vehicles and q wide
array Of scientific experiments.
He and other Air Force Of
ficials said Congress provided
more than $l4 million last year
for the worlds largest solar
furnace but defense regulations
prevent q start on it until the
full construction funds are pro-
vided.
The model of'the mirrors and
related machinery is so large
It could not be moved into the
ornate committee hearing room
in the new Senate ofiice build
ing.
The hearing was shifted to
an adjoining anteroom where
the model was demonstrated.
With Senator'S watching like
small boys and asking many
questions. DR.. Millsaps ex-
planned that the huge bank Of |
mirrors. AKA feet. could turn in |
two directions to pick up direct
rays Of the sun.
Rays Concentrated
These then can be concen-
trated through a series Of
shutters like q Venetian blind |
to q central 5-inch point.
DR.. Millsaps said the solar !
furnace can be used by the
Atomic Energy Commission,
the Civilian Space Agency, |
colleges and universities in the
Rocky Mountain area, and
private industry.
He said one planned de-
velopment will be solar power |
units as auxiliary sources of
power for interplanetary and
space vehicles Of the future.
He said it will be necessary
to build community for about |
30 persons, most Of them solar |
specialists. on the mountain |
top at 8.756 feet. New Mexico |
already has completed a high |
way most Of the way up. he |

Strong but Unhappy,
MiIozzo Rules Sicily

PALERMO. Sicily. June IL
(AP) .-Silvio Milazzo, leader Of
a new political party under the
hot Sicilian sun. meets you at
the threshold of the islands
presidential palace talking.
He loves to talk, this ami
able, wealthy landowner in the
glare Of Italy's political lime
light.
He talks as he leads you
across a marbled chamber and
tiourishes you to q chair. He
continues to talk as he sits
a massive man Of 56--behind
a huge desk. He Is a picture
Of power and authority.
Got Help From Reds
A renegade for the second
time from the ranks Of Itaiy's
ruling Christian Democrat
Party. he lined UP with the
Communists and Fascists last
year and got himself elected
regional President Of autono-

in Office until the new AS

Politically. Mr.. Milazzo is in
an excellent spot. The
splinter party he formed when
he broke with the Christian
Democrats, the Christian
Social Union, won o Of the 90
seats in the regional parlia-
ment. The two big factions,
Christian Democrats and the
Communist Socialist left, both
fell short Of a majority.
Only q multiparty coalition
can govern, and Mr.. Milazzo's
nine seats appear to put him
in a prime bargaining position. |
He's Not Happy
But Mr.. Milazzo is unhappy.
He Is a staunch member OF
the Roman Catholic Church,

during the election campaign
because Of his previous alliance |
with the Reds. He Is sad that |
Palermo's Ernesto Cardinal

THE other Is to disabuse

Mr.. Hart said he spent AZ
hours with Batista recently,

his family In Daytona Beach.
Asked how he got his job,
Mr.. Hart said:
Somebody must have rec
