chief of staff for development
Their names were listed on a
yellow piece Of paper. 1t was
called a control sheet and il
was then the only written doc
ument on the true nature Of
the U-2.
The top-secret control sheet
gave Johnson the authority he
needed. He returned to Cal
ifornia and began to put the
plane together in l00-hour
work weeks at his Skunk
Works." a maximum security
plant at Burbank, where he
turned out the F-80 and F-104,
All of the U-2s, originally called
Just ''Kelly's plane" were hand
made at the Skunk Works at a
cost of about $850,000 each.
Two efforts were made to
conceal the U-2's role as a spy
1t was thought at first that the
plane could be designed so that
radar could not detect it. But
Johnson didn't completely
carry it off.
1t also was thought that the
plane might include an auto
matte destruction device. II
the U-2 were to develop trouble,
it would explode automatically
destroying the plane and killing
the pilot. 1t was quickly deter
mined, however, that no prac-
tical mechanism could be de-
viSed. An automatic destructor
might needlessly kill the pilot
outside the Soviet Union. Or
it could detonate in a situation
where the pilots ingenuity
might enable him to get the
plane working again.

THE w AFFAIR
An Idea Grows to Success

first model Of the U-2 by Au-
gust, 1856.
Before the U-2 could start
spying, President Eisenhower
had to give his approval. And,
according to the story he later
related to intimates, he had
miSgivings.
As a military man he realized
that a nation, like an army,
had to have a battle plan. There
had to be an avenue of retreat
for both sides: If a w. were
caught, the United States would
need a graceful out and that
would be possible only if there
were a way for the Soviet
Union to save face.
White House Conference
A White House meeting was
arranged to brief the President
on the program. 1t was at
tended by his leading advisers
in the CHA and the State and
Defense Departments.
IF one of these planes is shot
down." Gen. Eisenhower re-
called saying. this thing is
going to be on my head. I'm
gonig to catch hell. The world
will be in a mess"
Advisers had replied that the
Russians would have to sup
press any incident. They could
never run the risk of being
Inundated by the revelation
that their skies had been in
vaded repeatedly and they had
not been able to do anything
about it. But the President
argued that the Russians would
have no other choice. 1t would
be the only way to stop the
flights.
Yet he was confronted by a
difficult proposition: If he
rejected the advice of his mill
tary and intelligence experts, he
would. in effect, be depriving
the Nation of valuable, poten-
TALLY matches information.
DOOlittle Is Contacted

posed, their exact routing and
their precise detectives.
From time to time q series Of
flights-a very small number
would be selected from the list
for completion during a short
period, no more than a few
weeks.
Not necessarily all in the
series would go. If and when
they did would depend on air
craft and pilot readiness, and
the weather. Cloud cover over
the Soviet Union was bad for
high-altitude photography ex-
cept during short intervals.
If there were no objections
at the State and Defense De-
partments, BiSSell would take
his map to the White House
and go over it with Gen. An
drew Goodpaster, a top EiSen-
hover assistant. The White
House and the other agencies
did not so much approve the
flights as hold a veto power
over them.
They Become milk Runs"
BY 1860 the w. flights had
become something of a milk
run and the administrative
procedures were routine. Hun

Unwunted Grass

Nutgrass, ground ivy. Ber-
muda grass and several other
spreading weeds are difficult to
kill. The nutgrass can, accord
ing to some, be killed by re-
peated applications Of 2.4-D, al
though it may be easier to
smother it out with roofing
paper. The ground ivy may be
killed through several applica-
tons of Silvex and 2,4-D. The
Bermuda grass in beds and
borders (not in lawns) can be
killed with dalapon but care
should be used to avoid wet
ting of flowers or shrub foliage.
In the lawn it may be killed
with the block applicator of
dalapon but this is likely to be
a major chore unless only q
few Bermuda plants are pres
ent. A bad infestation might
better be killed through the
use Of delapon in late June
or early July and the whole
area reseeded In late August or
early September, two months
after the delapon was applied.

Lift the clumpS, shake off the

tice. Examine for signs of
borers and dig out all present.
DiSinfect all cut surfaces and
allow the cut ends to calIous
over before resetting in we'll
prepared beds. Normally this
preparation consists Of incor-
porating generous quantities Of
humus material, preferably
non-acid forming, into the soil
along with bone meal, pulverized
limestone and in the heavier
soils sand or perlite. Mix these
thoroughly into the soil before
reSetting the divisions. The
roots should be tucked deeply
into the soil but the rhizomes
should be on the surface of
the ground after settling. Re-
move from a third to q half

THIS WEEK
IN YOUR GARDEN

Summer weather, rains and
hot days, have combined to
produce bountiful crops Of
weeds and crabgrass. This US
ually makes for hard work in
the borders, although a mulch
will control weeds and elimi-
nate the need for regular cul-
tivation. Moreover, mulches
keep the soil cool and permit
air and moisture to reach plant
roots.
Mulching materials are avail
able from stores and garden
centers. Others the gardener
can make. Sugar cane bagasse,
normally sold for use by poul-
trymen, is light colored when
first spread but soon darkens
and is not so obvious. Sphag-
mum peatmosS is generally
available, but must be watched
to prevent crusting. Sawdust is
another that may crust and
should be watched closely. Pea
nut hulls, pine straw, pine bark,
compost, wood chips, chopped
hay and straw, chopped corn
cobs and cocoa bean hulls are
most generally used, and there
are others. The objective is to
get one or more of these ma
terials and cover the soil i'm
mediately after breaking the
crust and removing all weeds
currently present. Plastics and
roofing papers are good in
eliminating weeds but they pre-
sent problems in watering.

to divert the plants strength
into the new growth. This may
be a major chore where there
are many such plants in the
garden. then such seed rod re-
moval might well be confined
to those which are depended
upon for exhibition of promi-

removing those on the rhodo-
