Who has made the most
progress in rocket development,

Answers and opinions have been
expressed worldwide and embrace

tendency Of the neutrals them

explanation is required. then, to
illustrate why people think in
frequently Of rocket progress

II progress can be measured by
accomplishments from a techno-
logical point, then Japan made
remarkable progress in 1860.
In ethat year 1t developed re-

from Tokyo University. The Bel

The man behind the success Of
the Tokyo University rocket team
is Prof. HideD Itokawa. During
the last few years. he has been
labeled the Father Of japanese
Rocketry. He is a familiar person
at international rocket symposi-
ums and conferences. He radiates
a singular pride, like that Of q

Parker responded.

Source of Information
Mr.. Lother then angrily
asked where he had gotten this
information.
DR.. Parker said that he knew
that the Government had re-
quested a psychiatric examina-
ton of MCGEE before the trial
and that several doctors at st.
Elizabeth's hospital had ex-
amined the defendant.
DR.. Parker said MCGEE prob
ably knew what he was doing
the night of the holdup and
knew that he had done some
thing wrong.
However, he said it didn't
necessarily follow that the
youth knew right from wrong.
He said MCGEE threw the gun
into a wooded area from his
car after the holdup because
he was "panick e dover
whelmed at what he had just
gone through"
The psychiatrist said the
youth for many years had been
given over to excessive day.
dreaming" He said the boy
had tense relations with his
parents since early childhood"
and felt antagonistic toward
the "rigidity of his parents
religious attitude"
The psychiatrist said that
when MCGEE entered college he
was thrown on his own, he
had no goals to enable him to
support the drive to achieve
any goals-he floundered."
Mr.. Sachs said in opening
arguments last week that he
would show his client was Suf-
fering from a mental illness at
the time of the holdup and
should be found not guilty by
reason of insanity.
AS Mr.. Lowther rested the
case for the prosecution yeSter-
