Atlas Missiles
Guidance
Hailed in Test

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
June II (AP) A block busting
Atlas rumbled 5000 miles down
the Atlantic missile range today
in a successful first test of the
missiles new inertial guidance
system.
The Afr Force reported the
guidance performed as desired
in directing the missiles re-
entry body into an intended
impact area off the South At
lantic Island of Ascension.
The Atlas covered the dis
tance in 20 minutes. Ofhcials
released no detailed informa-
tion on how the guidance
functioned.
The big rocket was launched
despite a machinists's strike
which has hampered Convair
operations here for five days.
Convair, which makes the Atlas.

ers during a launching. other
unions have joined machinists
IN refusing to do work for the
company here.
10000 Miles An Hour
Pouring a stream of red
orange fame from its powerful
engines. the 85-foot giant rose
smoothly from its pad, arched
high in the sky and sped down
range at speeds expected to
reach 10000 miles an hour.
The Air Force considered this
test of the inertial (built-in)
guidance a key one in moving
the Atlas nearer the ultimate,
characterization role for which
it Is designed.
Inertial guidance offers the
main advantage of salvo firing
of 10 or more missiles from one
base. 1t also permits launching
from protected underground
silos, is immune from jamming
and is unaffected by weather
or atmospheric conditions.
Radar Could Upset System
The radio-command system
employed on previous Aliases
is limited to two or three stimuli
taneous launchings from one
installation because of mutual
interference by radio transmits
sionS, Radar could upset this
system.
One previous Atlas was
equipped with inertial guild
ance. But it exploded on its
pad last April 7 and the sys-
tenn remained untried.
Since the April 7 shot, the
Atlas has scored two signifi-
cant missile achievements. One
Atlas flew a record 5000 miles
and the other boosted the Mi
das missile detection satellite
into orbit. q
The United States plans l3
Atlas squadrons. each with 6
to IL missiles, by 1865. The first
seven will employ radio-com-
mand guidance. The last six,
all hardened sites, will have
inertially guided rockets.

Broilers
Watch for broiler prices to stay
about in the l6 cent to 10 cent range
during the next few weeks.
For the past three years at this
time Virginia broiler prices have
moved upward in price after Christ
mas. Last year they moved from
IA cents in December to 4 10 cent
level during January.
Broiler supplies are going to be
climbing back upwards In January
and will increase rapidly However.
this Increase will still leave supplies
below last years level
Virginia broilers ranged from IL
cents to 10 cents last week with
demand light, since some professors
had slowed operations. The high end
of the price range was for broilers
moving out of the area.

New Boy Scout
Handbook Ready
For Distribution

On the eve Of its fiftieth ami
versary to be observed in 1860. the
Boy Scouts of America has Just
published the sixth edition of its
Boy Scout Handbook. Its initial
print order - 1850. 600 copies wv
makes it one of the largest book
orders in printing history.
It is this volume that introduced
millions of boys to their first know
ledge Of nature lore. first aid,
proper honors for the flag Of the
United States. and a wide range
# know hew" supplementing
school courses.
The first copy off the press has
,een especially bound for presen-
alton to President Eisenhower at
he White House on February
the 50th birthday anniversary Of
he Boy Scouts Of America. One Of
so Eagle Scouts. each representing
4 different state, will be selected
to present the new handbook to
President Eisenhower when they
cali on him to make Report to
the Nation
Completely reorganlzed, redesign-
ed and rewritten. the Boy Scout
Handbook is a modernized, dra-
matte presentation of Scouting. Its
appeal to boys was scientifically
calculated. 1t is in easy-to-read mar
rafive style. Topics are well label
ed with numerous headings. Read
ability has been tested to suit
olcven-vear-old boys.
The handbook is based on fifty
years of experience. William Hill
court, its editor. is know to two
generations of Scouts. as Green Bar
Bill in Boys Life" magazine and
other Scouting literature. Donald N.
Ross, credited for its designing and
art direction. designed most hand
books and manuals of the Boy
Scouts of America in recent years.
Norman Rockwell, famous artist,
designed the cover of the new hand
book. He began his career as an
illustrator of the earliest issues Of
Boys Life" more than as years
ago. Each year he creates the de-
sign of the official Boy Scout
Calendar, produced by the Brown
and Bigelow Company.
The new Boy Scout Handbook is
available at local council offices Of
the Boy Scouts of America and
especially the 3.l00 stores through
out the United States licensed as
official Boy Scout Distributors.

Lower Prices Seen
For Livestock

The party may be about over for
livestock producers.
Agricultural economists at VPI
sizing up the immediate past, pres
ent. and future for livestock, point
OFT that producers have enjoyed
several years Of rather favorable
conditions high prices, abundant
and relatively cheap feed grains,
and good pasture and range con-
ditions. Many Of the things encour-
aging the good times" are still
present but should offer less en-
enlargement for the year ahead. In
fact, the economists say, other con-
ditions may bring severe price de-
clines in the next few years. Over
expansion is threat facing the
livestock industry.
Hog producers experienced severe
price declines during 1859. The COM
ing year offers little chance for i'm
prevement. Prices during the first
quarter of 1860 will likely average
50 to So below the $l6.45 Virginia
hog price for the same period Of
1859. The late fall of 1860 may see
severely depressed prices. A sub
stantial Improvement in pr c e s
should be underway by mid-l96l.
Cattle producers are also faced
with declining prospects in a year
or SO if the present rate Of expan-
sion continues. During 1860, cattle
marketings will increase and prices
will show moderate declines. This
may reduce the rate of expansion
and thereby reduce the size of price
drops in the years ahead. In 1860
fed cattle prices are expected to
average 50 to So below 1859 levels,
and the spreads between fed and
nonfed cattle probably will increase
as more nonfed cattle come to
market.
Profits from fed cattle should be
about the same during the first
three quarters of 1860 as they were
in 1859 because most feeders paid
less for feeder calves and will have
lower feed costs during the coming
feeding year. Profits will probably
be lower on cattle marketed late in
1860 Returns from beef COW herds
will likely be lower than during
1889 Feeder calf prices may be 50
lower next fall than they were dur
ing the fall of 1859.
Lamb prices in 1860 will probably
drop slightly. Marketings are ex-
pected to be spread out more than
usual over the feeding season be-
cause of higher-than-nornlal lambs
coming off Of some western ranges.
The result should be a more even
price throughout the feeding period
making market timing less critical
Prices Of early 1860 spring lambs
are expected to be stronger than
for late summer lambs.
With the wool incentive program
in effect, returns from wool can be
expected to be about the same in
1860 as in 1889 Profits from the
sheep enterprise will, therefore, be
either about the same as In 1859, or
lower, depending upon whether
early or late lambs are produced.

Hogs
II you have hogs to sell, it'll pay

Latest pig report figures show
that after a harp increas in pro-

hog producers are planning an
equally sharp decline i'll production
next year.
Farmers intend to reduce the
number of sows narrowing in the
1860 spring season u per cent be-
low the 1859 period. according to the
report. Allowing for the trend in
average litter size. this would mean
a reduction of II per cent in the
spring pig crop to 50 million head,
about equal to the 1858 spring crop.
; The 1859 fall pig crop is now esti-
mated at two per cent above last
year. much smaller increase than
had been indicated earlier. The
number Of hogs and pigs on farms

These. cutbacks in production
would point to a rising price trend
for hogs during the first half of 60.
Prices during the latter half should
be higher than those during 1859
this is in contrast with earlier ex-
pectations that prices would likely
hold close to the current level.
In Virginia this week demand was

world. insists at present that
the naval base at Bizerte
which is being used by the
French as well as the NATO
naval forces be evacuated.
Both Morocco and Tunisia
have become the main opera
tional bases for the Algerian
rebel forces which are being
kept supplied with money
and arms from the USSR and
Communist China. The ex-
pected outcry from those who
are determined to prevent
Gen. de Gaulle's purported
plans for Algerian Algeria"
is that international commu-
nism will entrench itself in
a short time. even more SOL
idly than it has SO far.
The French head of state,
who is known for his in
tractable stubbornness, seems
determined to go ahead with
the new project despite the
chances that the plan may
not be to the liking of the
Algerian nationalist rebels
any more than it is to his
opponents in France. Despite
the rumbleS in Paris and in
some cities in the provinces,
Gen. de Gaulle's powers have
remained undiminished. The
only vague danger to his rule
does not come from the Ma
tional Assembly or the loud
mouthed politicians; it comes
from the armed forces, which
alone could bring about a
change, as they did in the
spring of 1858, when Gen.
de Gaulle was brought to
power by the army. But the
prospects of another military
coup d'etat are for the time
being still unlikely.
