 Before she was 6, she invented a game of tricycle. polo.

 Buckingham Palace once had a very tall footman. Every time Anne passed him she would stop and stare up at his face.
 One day when she found the footman standing, lofty and im- passive, beside a door, she pulled up a chair, mounted it and got her first close look at his face.

The Big s'Bird'' Is Hiding But Ready For It's Mission

SPOKANE, Wash. N The big Bird" is hiding, but ready
 The "Bird". The U. s. Inter- Continental Ballistic Missile, the Atlas.
 The nideout: Below the rolling wheatfields of Washington State.
 The players: A highly trained group of Air Force personnel
 The game: Deadly
 The Atlas, a lunt-looking bull let 85 feet, long and wrapped in paper r-thin stainless steel, rests in coffin" covered over by steel reinforced concrete doors weigh ing 400 tons.
 If and when firing becomes necessary, the huge doors slide back, a giant boom lifts the Atlas to upright position, the missile is fed and ''briefed" as to mis- sion and course, then the words missile ready" signals the blast off.
 There is more than one hideout, however. Nine Atlas sites sur round the Spokane area alone, with similar installations at Cheyenne, Wyo., and Topeka, Kan.
 The Atlas, is, to date, the most reliable missile in the U. s. arr senal. Past tests have shown the huge bird can be plummeted with in two miles of target over a g, ,000-mile range = a feat similar to shooting rifle bullet into a barrel a mile away.
 The five-man crew, trained to launch the Atlas, lives under ground in the complex and vast site, complete with barracks, electrical generators large enough for city of 30,OO0, computcrs, controls, wires, knobs and a maze of electronic magic necessary to set the missile into motion.
 To prevent unauthorized firing complicated steps have been taken. The missile is controlled from a console, resembling ar electric organ, which TWO men must work together. And they cannot fire the Atlas without tine proper signal from Washington.
 Direct bombing attacks cannot phase the complex site. More than 9,200 tons of reinforced concre.e see to that. Fire or other disaster also has been accounted for by construction engineers.
 An official for General Dy- nanlics -Astronautics Corp, which turns out the Atlas, estimated a launching complex would be born into the U. s. defense system every 318 days next year.
