1.-THE forces involved IN big rocket
engines. "it's still the best in
the world. and this is the only
place in the world where cali
bration Of this sort can be
DONE" He amended this by
conceding that the Soviet Union
may have some testing device
he does not know about.
The System to Be Used
Testing of the load cell will
begin Monday. Mr.. Falkinburg
said. Weight will be applied
gradually by means of q So
inch hydraulic cylinder that
moves upward against the plat
form on which the load cell
and five proving rings" sit.
Each ring has a capacity Of
100000 pounds, and at the time
all five carry their maximum
load. lis million pounds win be
imposed on the load cell.
Each 100000 pound ring It
self was calibrated indirectly
by means Of stresses placed on
three l00,000-pound rings. The
smaller rings can be tested
directly by dead weight with a
Ill .000-pound machine at NBS.
The accuracy Of a 100000
pound ring is known to within
less than five pounds. But be-
cause Inaccuracies multiply
quickly when indirect measure
ment methods are applied, the
load cell now awaiting test may
be of by $500 pounds one way
or the another regardless of
the care exercised In calibrat-
ing 1t, Mr.. Falkinburg said.

Lack of Funds Called Peril
To Vital Rocketry Tests
BY WILLIAM HINES
star Science Writer

The National Bureau Of
Standards prepared today to
check out q load cell" that
will help space engineers meas
ure the thrust of a rocket en-
CINE worth $102 million. But
for want Of a tiny fraction Of
that sum. NBS' check-out will
be 20 times as crude as 1t ought
to be.
Consequently. there is the
danger that when the huge
rocket is fired years hence,
errors in the measurement Of
its power may make its payload
miss a distant planetary target
by tens Of thousands Of miles.
possibly causing failure Of q
billion-dollar space experiment.
To Test LOAD Cell"
This story. reminiscent of
"for want Of a nail the shoe
was lost" developed when the
Baldwin-Lima- Hamilton Corp.
Of Waltham. Mass. sent a
1,600-pound load cell to NBS
for celebration. The concern
made the cell for Rocketdyne
Division Of North American
Aviation, Inc. in connection
with q Space Administration
contract under which Rocket
dyne Is building a l6-million-
pound thrust rocket engine.
A load cell is a heavy solid
steel cylinder with electrical
resistors imbedded in it. AS
force or weight is applied, the
cylinder is distorted, and the
resistors are distorted along
with it. BY measuring the cur
rent passing through the re-
sisters. the amount Of force
being applied can be calculated.
NBS' job is to determine how
the load cell reacts under
strain put on it by various
weights up to the is million
pound peak thrust Of the rocket.
Rocketdyne's contract with
Baldwin calls for the load cell
to be accurate within NBS' best
capability to measure.
Big Variance in Accuracy
Unfortunately, Engineer
Francis C. Falkinburg said, the
indirect methods by which the
load cell will be calibrated per-
NIT accuracy only to one part
in a thousand. Direct meas
urement would increase the
accuracy to one part in 10000,
Mr.. Falkinburg said. He is in
charge of NBS' force calibra-
ton group.
NBS has plans on its draw
ing boards for a million-pound
dead-weight machine that
would give the sort of accuracy
that is needed. Mr.. Falkinburg
pointed out. The SIS million
needed has not been appro-
priated.
The money for a big dead
weight machine was knocked
out of NBS'e appropriation re-
quest by the Budget Bureau, 1t

CHRISTMAS LETTER HOME
by Michael Dushant

by Michael DuShant
Dearest Family,
Hopefully this will reach vol. in time for Christmas
Morning, but if it doesn't then you will just have to sit down
all together, close your eyes and pretend that it, is once again
Christmas Morning-just as ! am having to pretend now as
/ write this.
Probably the lonelest and most far-away feeling comes
to the person away from home at Christmas time. Rarely do
people speak with more sentimentality and warm memory
than at the time when they relate, 'sback home at
Christmas time we used to always " Even the coolest,
most cynical individual seems to mellow when he starts talk
ing about Christmas back home.
Perhaps in this very idea there is found the true meaning
of Christmas, because no other time Of homeife seems to be
more fondly remembered and affectionately recalled. Only
great love and generosity and togetherness could kndle
such warm feelings and what time Of year, other than Christ
mas, do such emotions abound at their uttermost?
Christmas time is the time of Family Union and, yes, it
can be honestly said, Christmas time is the time when all men
seem drawn closer together. This, indeed, does seem to be the
message and purpose Of Christmas, the real meaning Of the
occasion. Christ was born into a family, a family filled with
love and sacrifice and compassion-each for the other. Kings
came together with shepherds and their hearts united in the
alteration of Christ and his parents
Commonly heard on the island here, especially by those
away from home, is the remark, 1T just doesn't seem like
Christmas" Yet Bethlehem was not a place Of many pine
trees and white SHOWS and cracking icicles. No, there were
palm trees and vast sands and camels and shabby earthen
buildings that were far from festooned with colored lights
and tinsel and holly. Perhaps, here, more than anywhere it
is like Christmas. Christmas is not a matter OF location
it encompasses the whole Of the World.
Christmas must be remembered here, or anywhere, for
what it actually is-the time in anniversary when. the King
Of Heaven and Earth and all Things was born into a humble
manager and Of common parents. # one remembers this-the
Truth Of Christmas-then how could it ever be more like
Christmas than it really is?
Christmas Eve / looked up into a dark sky. a palm tree
stood in black silhouette against the stars and, yes, yes, one
star did seem brighter than all the rest.
Christmas Day ! went out into the street and loved ecah
person. loved each to the fullest because my own detr family
had given me, and gives me, such q treasure Of love that I
need never fear Of its depletion no matter how generously
use it.
This Christmas, then, / am with you in spirit as you are

The escapades of an Indo-
nesian Embassy messenger
here are causing his superiors
considerable embarrassment,
the Embassy admitted last
night.
The messenger made a hasty
departure from this country
last week. He left behind a
message confessing, among
other things, that he had
bought a $500 camera on a
worthless check he had signed
with the Indonesian Ambassa-
doris name.
This is the worst thing that
has ever happened" 1t. Col.
Subroto Kusmardjo, the en-
bassy's assistant military at
tache. said.
Attached to the message were
several pawn tickets. the CO.
lionel said, including one for
the camera. The messenger adj
mitted that the other pawned
articles, too, might not have
been obtained in strictly hon.
orable ways.
The embassy had planned to
send the employee back to In
donesia last Monday for other
"bad reasons" which officials
already knew about, the CO.
lionel said. But he left on his
own Sunday night.
On Tuesday, Metropolitan
Police received a complaint
about the bad check for the
camera.
Jerry Livingston, manager
of the pawn shop at 1923 H
street NV. where the camera
was found, said the messenger
had been a fairly steady Gus
toner" for more than a year.
Some difficulties in the case
remain. however.

Too often, Senator Johnson
said. this country's policies
have been motivated by sheer
reaction to the previous
thrusts Of Soviet communism. "
"Other Truths"
Ambassador Romulo said
that "other unpleasant truths
you in this country should
face" are the fact that:
/. While other world powers
reigned for centuries, your
country, which became a
world power only is years
ago. is already seriously con-
tested.

but dedicated to high moral
principles"
Senator johnson said his
suggestion for the university
was motivated by his belief
that "for too many years we
have neglected the simple
things that would break down
the barriers between our
selves and people who should
be our friends"
For example, he said, 'lan-
guages spoken by hundreds OF
millions Of people all over the
earth are hardly known in
our land Our printing
presses produce nothing that
most of the worlds popula-
ton can read. Intellectual
walls must be broken down If
we are to have mutual under
standing"
He would hope, the Senator
continued, that the Hawaii
University would attract
scholars and students alike
from both the Orient and the
Occident.
Such a project is necessary.
Senator johnson suggested, to,
offset successful Communist
incursions into the Mid and
Far East. Even if forthcoming
conferences with the Com
munists should settle all
questions of ornaments, past

this is doubtful - we should
