4-StageRocket
Lifts 56OMiIes
BY the Associated Press

Canadian and American SCI
entists shot a four-stage rocket
about $50 miles into space to-
day in a new study of radio
signals from the stars. The
shot also provided a test of a
comparatively low priced rocket
engine.
The rocket was fired from the
National Aeronautics and Space
administration station at Wal
lops Island, Va. It was in
flight about 1S minutes before
plunging into the Atlantic
sbout 500 miles away. Called
a "Javelin," the assembly
weighed 1000 pounds at take
of, including a 48-pound SCI
sntific payload.
A NASA spokesman an
nounced:
1T looks like a good Job. All
stages fired, and, according to
initial estimates, the maximum
altitude reached was just about
on the noSe-about $50 miles
high"
The spokesman told a re-
porter it would be a couple of
days before scientists deter
mine results of the scientific
aspects of the test, which were
to:
/. Measure radio signals
given of by the sun and Ger
tain stars and by gaseous ma
terials in space.
2. Test the Solid-fuel rocket
motor known as the X-248.
This motor has been used in
some NASA rockets, including
the Thor-Able. It is to be the
fourth stage Of the Scout"
tocket-the comparatively low
cost. four-stage solid propel-
liant device which has peen
dubbed the poor mans rocket"
1t will also be used in an
other new rocket called the
"Delta"-a deep-space probe.

this upward push. Some think
that we face a year of dread
ful disturbance in labor nego-
tiations and that strikes will
make 1860 a period of turbu-
lence rather than expansion.
Others worry that the down
turn in housing means a vital

businessmen who in public hail

Nevertheless, the evidence Of

Just interrupt and stretch it

On the basis Of this evidence

BY SYLVIA PORTER

In this Thanksgiving week of
1859, what have we to be thank
full for in the economic sphere
the sphere which covers jobs,
pay checks and financial peace
of mind? This:
We are still in a cycle Of busi-
ness expansion and prosperity.
1t is still a young" prosperity
as expansion phases go in this
country. When the steel strike
hit and began distorting the
entire economic pattern, there
were no signs of the tiredness
in business activity which al
ways warn a downturn is ahead.
Assuming there is no resump-
ton Of the steel strike after the
January 26 deadline, we will be
entering 1860 on a rising wave
of activity in just about every
area.
Employment next year is set
to climb to an all-time record.
Paychecks are heading for new
peaks.
Moreover, the 1860 advance
will start in with plenty of
power behind it. For propping
the expansion will be rising
spending by businessmen to re-
stock the shelves emptied dur
ing the weeks Of prolonged
steel strike: rising spending by
consumers to buy both big and
little-ticket goods and services;
rising spending by corporations
to build new plants and mod
ernize facilities so they can fill
consumer demands most efn-
GENTLY and inexpensively; riS-
ing exports and rising spending
by state and local governments.
Assuming the steel SETTLE
ment does not set of a new in
flation push. the increase in the
general price level in 1860
shouldn't be much different
from the increase in the over
all consumer price level In 1859.
And this years increase has
been modest.
Does it sound too good to be
true? To a fairly large group,
it does. Some highly respect
ed economists fear that the
steel strike went so long, hurt
so badly that the zip is out OF
