QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 My father passed away four teen years ago. My mother, my sister and I received So- cial security checks until my sister and I were Ia. After that my mothers checks stopped. Was she supposed to have kept on receiving her checks. = No. Social security checks to a widow who is under the age of 62 stop when her chil- drenis stop. However, if your mother does not remarry she will again be able to start receiving widows social Se- curity payments when she be- comes 62 years old.
 My father will become 65 years old in January of 1880. At that time he plans to re- tire on social security. How ever, he has heard that he will not be able to draw his full social security if he ap- plies for his World War Vet erans Pension. Could you clarify this.

The United States today
launched a new satellite which
gives promise Of teaching man.
kind how to predict the weather
reliably on worldwide basis.
Second of a series Of tele-
vision and infra-red observa-
ton satellites. it was named
Tiros II after it achieved orbit
early this morning.
The 280-pound TV-equipped
orbiter was launched from
Cape Canaveral. Fla, at -6:l5
am. EST. Two hours later the
success Of the shot was as
sured. The satellite roared away
atop a 92-foot Thor.Delta
rocket.
BY midmorning pictures had
been obtained from the satel-
lite by a remote control station
at Fort Monmouth, N. j.
DR.. Morris Topper, chief Of
the TiroS program for the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration, said all ele-
ments of the satellite seemed
to be working properly. He gave
the following data on its orbit:
Miles from the earth, 406
minimum, 431 maximum; in
clination to earth's equator 48.3
degrees: time Of revolution, SO
minutes. IL seconds; velocity in
orbit l6.770 miles per hour
minimum, 1886 maximum.
Balloon Data Checked
DR.. Topper said that about
three hours before the satellite
was launched a high-altitude
balloon was sent up from point
near Sioux Falls, N. OAK, to send
back weather information from
heights of about 20 miles. Com
parison of the balloon data with
Information from the television
and infra-red sensers cross

vations would enable weather
men to learn a great deal about

mean.
DR.. F. w. Reichelderfer, chief
Of the United States Weather
Bureau said a program is being
set up to provide cloud maps
by radio and telephone fac
smile to military and civilian
users of detailed weather
service.
Weather information is a

Will Re-examine Plans
| Asked about the future of
the civilian space agency's pro-
gram. DR.. Topper said the
complete success of today's
launching dictated a re-exami-
nation of original plans. He
said a third Tiros had been
scheduled for next year with
a more elaborate program
called Nimbus following in
