Falls Church Schools
Seek Aid Loss Funds

The Falls Church School
Board voted last night to ask
the City Council to add $51, ,622
to the city's 1872 appropria-
ton for schools to cover a pos
sible reduction in Federal pay
ments.
The extra money, while not
changing the total school bud
get request of $1,199,433 for
next year, would increase the
city's share to $915,892.
AS originally presented, the
proposed budget called for the
city to raise its contribution
for schools nearly $167 900 over
the current year-a jump of
about "a per cent.
School officials said two re-
cent developments prompted
them to ask the city to increase
its 1862 school appropriation.
Loss Of Aid Cited
First, the Kennedy admins

 Superior Court Judge Walter Walsh set bail for Mitchell at $150,O0O, covering three arson charges, including two old ones.

 Other fires were fought by Ketchikan firemen in the Tongass Trading Co., Bldg. and the Sted- man Hotel.

Atlas Missile Sets Record Flight Of 9,O5O-Miles

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. tR - The business end of an Atlas missile hurled out of the western sky like a blazing meteor and crashed into the Indian Ocean early today at the end of the longest military rocket flight on record 9,050-mile journey from Cape Canaveral.
 The Air Force had been deeply concerned about seven failures in 10 previous test launchings of this new Atlas "E" series.
 The huge missile, 85 feet tall and weighing more than 100 tons on liftoff, blasted off just before midnight Thursday night and darted into a star-filled sky. About Az minutes later, an inertial guidance system sensed the rocket was on the proper course and ordered engine shutoff and sepa- ration of the nose cone.
 The 112-ton cone followed a ballistic trajectory which carried it nearly 1,O00 miles high and peak speed of 17,000 miles an hour.
 Fifty-three minutes after the launch, two tracking planes and a ship followed the cones fiery path as it plunged back into the heat barrier of the earth's at mosphere and dived on target about 1000 miles southeast oi Cape Town, South Africa.
 The improved Atlas is the most powerful United States military rocket being test flown. Its three massive engines generate 100000 pounds of thrust.
 The E rocket, scheduled to be- come operational within a few months, is designed to carry a hydrogen warhead to targets up to 12,0G0 miles away.

Million Cases of Salmon Canned-Peak of Red Run Is Yet to Come

JUNEAU tR - More than a half million cases of salmon have been canned at Bristol Bay and the peak of the red run is yet to come, Fish and Game Commits sioner Clarence Anderson said to- day.
 Anderson said he was advised by Walter Kirkness, Director of the Division of Commercial Fish cries who is personally overseeing fishing operations in Bristol Bay, that the peak of the red run will probably come in the next couple of days.
 Bristol Bay fishermen have taken some ' million fish al- ready"
 Ut is my belief, after talking with Kirkness, that the Bristol Bay pack this year will top million and a quarter cases"
 Anderson said escapement was more than adequate. He said more than 112 million fish are already in Lake Illiamna and another 1s fish are on their way up the Kvichak River.
 If the pack goes over a million cases, it will be the first time it has done so since 1948, when l. 316,000 cases of salmon were can ned on the bay.
 The pack last year was 850,000 cases, valued at $36 million.
