Missile-Alarm Satellite Fails to Get Off Launching Pad

POINT ARGUELLO, Calf. IT, The United States first attempt at launching of Midas III, a mis- sile-alarm satellite into an orbit that would have taken it over Russia failed spectacularly today when the 98-foot projectile failed to lift from its launching pad.
 Observers on a hilltop 10000 feet away saw a huge puff of black smoke burst around the base of the projectile indicating that ignition of the powerful 360, ,000-pound thrust rocket en- zine had failed.
 A great plume of white smoke erupted from the nose of Midas ITS first stage Atlas booster as technicians began purging it of highly explosive liquid oxygen, apparently in an effort to prevent disaster.
 It worked. AS the smoke and fumes cleared away, the bird could be seen resting apparently undamaged on it's seaside launch ing pad.
 If the launching had been sue 'cessful, the 3O-foot-long Midas satellite would have gotten its first look at Soviet territory ir about three hours. The second stage of the projectile, all of which was designed to go into orbit contains an infra-red eye to sense the heat from a missiles exhaus hundreds of miles below.
 This was the third straight in stance of difficulty, with the nev Sky-Spy. Midas I, launched Fet 26, 1860, failed to orbit. Mida II orbited May 24, 1860, but it radio failed.

Curious Case Of High Up
 In the Sky

LOS ANGELES tR - The curi-
 ous case of Joseph NeWkirk, who
 got belligerently high in the sky,
 was still up in the air today.
 Newkirk, a 6O-year-old janitor,
 was seized by police and booked
 on suspicion of assault with deadly weapon Saturday after he and IF other passengers arrived by jet from Chicago. Investigators said he became enraged when a stewardess took away his bottle of whisky. Later, they said, he threatened two persons with a pocket knife.
 Today, however, the district attorneys office refused to is sue an assault complaint, explain ing that it's jurisdiction does not extend into the heavens-at least not beyond the California bor- der.
 This raised the question of whether anybody has jurisdiction. The State of Nevada looked like the best bet, since it was over her domain that the alleged as- sault occurred.
 This raised another question: Whether a person might commit murder on an interstate flight and get away with it unless the state over whose territory the crime occurred wanted to prosecute.
 Newkirk, who had planned to fly to Hawaii, had his whisky taken away from him shortly after the plane left Chicago. It was some time later, while the plane was over Nevada, that he became belligerent.
 Newkirk, said all he could re- member was that he was drunk when he boarded the plane.
 He said he was going to Hawaii to look for a rich widow. 'I was tired of cooking for myself" he said.

Suspect Suicides When Confronted by Officers In Utah Desert Mystery

MOAB, Utah (R - Small foot prints and bundle of clothing found on a desolate mesa spurred search parties today in the hunt for Demise Sullivan, 15, of Rock vile, Conn.,, who was kidnapped week ago by man who killed her mother.
 Despite discovery, there seem- ed little chance that the girl could have survived six days in the scorching desert country.
 MOAB, Utah tR - A former Marine here who shot himself when confronted by FBI agents was linked to the highway mur- der of a Connecticut tourist and the Kidnapping of her teen-aged daughter.
 The ex-Marine, Able B. Ara gon, 36, an unemployed Utah coal miner, was stopped at a road junction near here Friday night, IllSll SCuCh d p1SCO1 IO llIS llCdu, fired and died two hours later without saying a word
 There was no trace of the kid naped girl, Denise Sullivan, Is, and authorities said they feared she has been killed.
 "There is no doubt in my mind that Aragon is the man we've been looking for" said Sheriff John Stocks. 'FWe know from paint scratches that his was the car that rammed the Sullivan car"
 Aragon, father of five children and known in his home town o1 Price, Utah, as a model citizen hadn't been seen for four days.
 He joined the Marines in 1943 and won the Navy Cross for hero ism on Guam.

SOviets Show Off
 Their Air Power to Western Diplomats
By Stanley Johnson

MOSCOW R - The Soviet Union showed off it's air might Sunday in dazzling display that struck Western diplomats as a gesture designed to strengthen Kremlin demands on Berlin.
 Premier Khrushchev and Cos monaut Yuri Gagarin watched side by side along with crowd of 50,000 while the Soviet Air Force paraded a spectacular array of new craft at MoscoW's Tushino airfield.
 Western experts watching the show first the Soviets have staged since 1858 - said the United States has nothing to match several of the entries, in- cluding a jet fighter that can light up a liquid rocket engine booster in flight to gain a tre- mendous rate of climb.
 The most spectacular attraction shown publicly for the first time was Delta wing bomber the an- nouncer said had a speed several times that of sound. The plane looked bigger than the eighteen zine U. s. B-52 and had four jets, two on the wing tips and two inboard below the wings.
 Western air attaches showed keen interest in a flypast of 1( heavy supersonic bombers whicf also made their first public ap pearance. This new models tw, engines were mounted on the req atop the 1ong-slender fuse1age. had high swept wings and wa: comparable in size to the U. s B-58, whose publicly admitted speed is 1,500 miles per hour.
 "A very impressive show" said the U. s. air attache, Col. Melvin Nielsen. "Its evident the Russians have continued with the develop ment of al classes of aircraft"
 Western observers said the show made clear the Soviets are not pinning all their faith on long range missiles alone.
 The Soviets gave advance bill ling to a vertical takeoff plane that does not depend on a jet thrust to get it aloft. Called a "screw wing plane" it was a cross between a plane and a helicopter
 One novelty was giant heli- copter capable of hauling 180 men. It appeared carrying a wooden house under it's belly and landed it on the field. The house was about the size of large car trail CT in the United States.

 Copurn went to films after nearly 40 years on the stage. His roles ranged from Shakespeare to slapstick. But. before footlights or camera, Coburn's performance al- ways was as elegantly polished as the monocle he invariably wore His portly dignity and frequent dry humor were well known in both films and on the stage. He won an Academy Award as the best supporting actor of 1943 in "The More the Merrier."

Atom Bomb Conscious Japanese Speak Out Sharply Against Russian Decision

4OA 1O W IluoSld dCdit lt- self a severe propaganda defeat in Japan by announcing it plans to resume nuclear weapons test ing.
 The decision hit the atom bomb-conscious Japanese hard. Pro- Western Japanese, as expect ed, spoke out sharply against the Moscow decision. And in rare show of ullaninity, they were joined by leftists and organiza- tions which consistently follow the Communist line.
 fine Japanese remember Hiro- shima and Nagasaki. They re- member the Lucky Dragon the 1854 incident in which a fishing vessel was hit by fallout from a U. s. atom bomb explosion.
 Of more recent memory are 1858 Russian tests when radio active fal1out drifted over the islands of Japan.
 Japan again faces nuclear tests," headlined the mass circu- lation Sankei Shimbun Thursday. Water will not be fit for drink ing.'
 Asahi, daily with a circula- tion of five million, called the latest Russian decision "a diplo- matic victory for the United States"
 The man and woman in the street as well as politicians, edu- cators and professional people condemned the announcement.
 A typical comment: "I don't know what's behind it, but the Soviets must not do it. What are they going to do about the ashes?"
 Yoshiaki Ishikawa, one of the leftwing students who demon strated for days last year against T. S.-Japan security treaty de- clared, "the Russians should not have done that"
 The Japan Council against atom and hyrogen bombs {Gensuikyo), an organization which several weeks ago was blaming the Unit ed States and only the United States = for endangerirg world peace, dispatched top official to the Soviet Embassy here for details of the Russian move.
 The council issued a statement calling the action extremely re- grettable entirely unexpected and a great shock"
