NewSubsidy
Plan Offered
For Air Mail
BY the Associated Press


The Civil Aeronautics Board
yesterday proposed q special
class rate subsidy to pay 10
local service airlines for carry
ing mail.
The class rate would not
change the overall subsidy bill
Immediately. the board said.
1t would, however, have built
in incentives for efficient op-
Grating and built-in controls
that eventually could ease the
subsidy burden.
In a statement of provisional
conclusions, the board proposed
to make the class rate retro
active to January /. It said
an appropriate order will be
entered soon.
Heretofore, the subsidy rates
have been determined individ-
ually for each airline.
The board estimated that, If
the class rate had been In ef-
feet during the IL months
ended last June 80, the subsidy
total would have been $52,2l9,-
900, about the same as for
actual payments during that
period, with individual totals as
follows:
Allegheny, $4.2s3. 900; Bo-
nanza, $3,150.000; Central,
$2,918,000: Frontier, $6,875,00O
Lake Central, 1881 900; Mo-
hawk, $3,097. 900; North Gen.
trail, $6.531, 900; Ozark, $4,151.-
900; Pacific, $685. 900; Pied
mont, $4,127,000: Southern,

$3,157, 900. and West Coast.
$4,947, 900.

Lost Balloon
Satellite Now
Being Tracked
By the Associated Press

A temporarily lost polka dot
balloon satellite has been de-
tected floating serenely through
space.
The civilian space agency
marked the satellites rediscov-
cry yesterday by naming it Ex-
plorer *.
The 12-foot sphere began
playing hide and seek with
trackers soon after it was
hurled aloft from the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
iStration's station at Wallops
Island, Va. Thursday morning.
Radio signals were heard as
it scared that morning over
johannesburg. South Africa,
and Woomera, Australia. Then
there was silence.
First Visual Sightings
Thursday afternoon volunteer
moonwatch teams at Pretoria,
South Africa, and the Baker,
Num- Photographic tracking
station near Johannesburg
made the first visual sightings.
The space agency did not
consider the orbit confirmed
until early yesterday when the
Photographic tracking stations
at West Palm Beach, Fla, and
at Woomera reported they had
successfully photographed the
balloon.
The balloons radio beacon
apparently was not working,
but the satellite is now being
tracked optically by telescopes
and cameras. The sphere was
spotted and tracked as it circled
the earth in about the same
orbit as the burned out casing
Of the fourth stage Of the
launching Scout rocket.
Air Density Experiments
The casing is orbiting the
earth at attitudes from 404 to
l,604 miles.
Space scientists at Langley,
Va, are proceeding with air
density experiments using opti-
cal sighting data. AS the bal
loon gradually slows, it is ex-
pected to provide new informa-
ton on the amount of resist
ance or friction in the earth's
atmosphere at the various alti-
tudeS it is travelling.
The satellite will be visible
at certain times everywhere in
the United States, Southern
Europe. all Of Africa and Aus
tralia, most Of South America
and a large part Of Asia. It
is reported to have q magni-
tude between 4 and AS. The
unaided human eye can see
stars up to magnitude s. The
fourth staged rocket casing is
reported to have rs magnitude.

the pleas In testimony from the

search chiefs.

that I'VE know the Russians

on United States space efforts.
Gen. Trudeau declared that
the military use of space is
too vital to be entrusted to any
one service" and called for an
all-service space agency di-
,rectly controlled by the De-
tense Department.
DR.. Morse complained about
what he called the Completely
duplicative" plans Of NASA to
experiment with communica-
tions satellites. a project on
which he said the Army Is al
ready well embarked.
DR.. Morse said that the lin
tied number of Zeus anti-mis-
siles now proposed would cost
far less than earlier estimates
ranging from 81 billion to SIS
billion.
He argued that some actual
production Of Zeus should be
started promptly, instead OF
waiting 18 months for exten-
sive testing of the entire
system.

A union official said the union
members were pretty upset"
about a National Mediation
Board decision under which the
flight engineers would have to
join the Air Line Pilots Asso-
citation as a single bargaining
Iunit.
The engineers maintain that
such an action would deprive
them Of their seniority and
ultimately Of their jobs. In
protest, members Of the union
|picketed the White House
and the State Department
auditorium during President
Kennedy's press conference
Wednesday.
The strike had varying eff
fectS on flights scheduled out
Of Washington.
A spokesman for American
Airlines said that so far today
IS flights have had to be can
celed, including two Jet flights
out Of Friendship Airport.
Eastern reported that four
flights to the South were can
celed, but that an attempt
would be made to fly to Palm

flights, with supervisory per-
sonnet filling in.

Trans World Airlines said
1t would not know until just

All the airlines emphasized
that only four-engine planes
were affected. All two-engine

Ipired last June l. Since then,

This Is Dyna-Soar. Still q
few years away from being an
actual flying machine. it is
being developed by the Aero
space Division Of the Boeing
Airplane Co. here, under guild
ance of a tweedy mustached
engineer named George H.
Stoner.
To date, something over $50
million has been allocated to
Dyna-Soar by the Air Force.
BY the time Dyna-Soar flies,
perhaps four or five years from
now, q great deal more than
this will have been spent. Total
cost almost certainly will ex-
ceed the $400 million which
the civilian space agency will
have spent by the time Project
Mercury is completed.
Pilot at Controls
Unlike Mercury, which en-
visions orbiting q manned but
non-flyable capsule and then
returning it to earth, Dyna-
Soar calls for an actual flight
mission with o pilot definitely
in control.
Here is how Dyna-Soar will
work:
Using an advanced Titan Il
intercontinental missile as the
booster, the tiny manned plane
will be fired into orbit. After
q suitable number Of trips
around the earth, the pilot will
bring his ship back into the
atmosphere and land it at q
