Rocket Fragment
Identified as q
Part of GIenn's

CAPE CANAvERAL, Fla,
Mar. 2 (AP).-A scorched
rocket fragment found on a
South African farm has been
identified as a piece of Atlas
booster 109-D which hurled
Astronaut John H. Glenn, jr.,
into orbit.
The ragged 3-foot-by-2-foot
sheet of metal was flown here
yesterday and m rking S
stamped on the surface def
nitely tabled it as part of the
fuel tank on 1t. Col. Glenn's
rocket. Identification was made
by General Dynamics-Astro-
nautics, maker Of the Atlas.
The rocket section was found
on a farm near Aliwal North,
Cape Province. -
B. G. MacNabb, base man
ager for General Dynamics,
said the empty Atlas shell ap-
parently orbited the earth
about five times before break
ing up In the earth's atmos-
phere.
Z Unprotected objects being
drawn out of orbit usually burn
up in the earth's atmosphere
and it is rare when a piece finds
its way back to earth.

council actually built up the is
sues which the Democratic can

For four years, they hammered
away at the missile gap, the de-

Will Hayes Precedent
The Republicans have ample
precedent for creating a COM
mittee that would embrace its
elite. AS far back as 1920, Will
H. Hayes headed an advisory
committee whose members in
cluded former President Taft,
Charles Evans Hughes, % Sem
ators and Representatives, a
staff director and a staff of is.
1t sent out 10000 questionaires
on IL topics, and influenced the
Republican platform committe
In 1887, in 1943, and again
in 1859 committees were
formed. Senator DirkSen and
Representative Halleck, were in
fact, the only two congress-
ional members Of the Commit
tee on Republican Program and
Progress, which was headed by
Charles H. Percy Of Chicago.

jr., to appear before a joint

cept the invitation.
Late last night, the resolution
inviting Col. Glenn was intro

tionally claim that since they
have the responsibility, they
must have the voice, too.
There Are Some Doubts
As one Republican said, "Why
should any member of Con-
gress be tied down to what
some professor has to say?"
Another asked in disapproval,
would it be like the Demo-
cratic Advisory Council?"
The Democratic Advisory
Council, launched by the party
in the depths of its 1856 de-
preston, got the cold shoulder
from the party leadership in
Congress.
The late Sam Rayburn wired
the late chairman of the Demo-
cratic Party, Paul Butler, that
1.-THE great majority of House
Democrats would not want
House Democratic leaders to
work on legislation with any
committee outside the House. /"
The then Senate Majority
Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of
Texas warned that the "nec-
essity Of dealing with an ad-
ditional committee not created
by Federal law before taking
action would only cause de-
lays and confusion"
They Got a Reaction
Despite the frost on Capitol
Fill the Democratic Advisory
Council PERSISTED, and in time
their announcements elected
the dignity of a White House
reply. When in 1859 they is
sued a statement criticizing
President Eisenhower, for his
handling of the Little Rock
crisis, the then press secretary,
James c. Hagerty said, EFT
would be funny If it were not
SO pathetic"
Thereafter, the Republican
leadership answered all of the
Councils statements, which
boosted the signatures of among
others, Harry Truman, Adlai
Stevenson, Dean Acheson and
Eleanor Roosevelt.

The blocking of Astronaut

by parade officials on the last

WaI|ops Test
Co|ors Sky ID
By the Associated Press

The Civilian Space Agency
put on a spectacular show high
above its station at Wallops
Island, Va, at dawn today with
q series Of rocket tests to meas
ure high-altitude atmospheric
conditions.
The star performer in the
three-act production was q
vehicle which loosed a cloud
Of sodium vapor that started
26 miles up and continued on
to the 84-mile maximum alti-
tude reached by the rocket.
That test, at 5:54 o In, spread
q great cloud, glowing in colors
from pink to yellow in the rays
Of the sun just coming over
the horizon and visible for
hundreds Of miles up and down
the coast and inland.
Preceding that, scientists of
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration sent up
another rocket at SAT am. to
spread q trail of water vapor
UP to SO miles. Under today's
clear weather conditions that
also provided a spectacular
show.
Then at 6:15 am. a third
rocket carried a load of gre
nades which were jettisoned and
detonated one at a time from
a height Of "a miles up to IS
miles. A similar three-rocket
test was conducted last night.
All the tests were aimed at
learning more about such mat
tiers as air density and the
velocity Of currents at various
attitudes, the diffusion OF ma
terials loosed in those currents,
and the shearing effect where
a trail of material spread by q
rocket passes from an air cur
rent speeding in one direction
to an atmospheric layer where
the wind blows another way.
All the trials were carried
out with Nike-Cajun rockets.
The spent vehicles came down
in the Atlantic some miles off
the Virginia Eastern Shore
testing station.

Pictures taken during the

tators on one side of the street
Mr.. Ring also said that q
green" driver in the Glenn
car went too fast at times, thu.
drawing up abreast Of televi-
sion camera trucks.
A meeting between Mr.
Salinger and representatives Of
local authorities and groups
responsible for parade plan-
ming is scheduled for / pm.
March Is. A spokesman for the
Military District said that the
purpose of the meeting is to
better coordinate procedures
for future parades. He said In
addition to the Welcoming
Committee, representatives Of
news media. the Metropolitan
Police and Secret Service would
be invited.
Covell Notes Many Factors
Meanwhile, Deputy Police
Chief Howard ". Covell said
that "a lot Of factors" seen
to have been involved in the
departure from Inaugural
Parade procedures, which were
supposed to have been in effect
for the Glenn welcome here
He would not elaborate, stat
ing that he had not come to
any conclusions. His views will
be reported to Police Chief
Robert v. Murray, he said.
A spokesman in the chiefs
office said that the police have
received about six letters from
citizens complaining that "tele-
vision" trucks and press photog-
raphers on foot alongside the
Glenn car blocked their view.
