Hopkins APL Has Leading Role
In Developing Typhon Missile

Last year the Department of
Defense announced that The
Johns Hopkins Applied Physics
Laboratory had been placed in
charge of an advanced missile
program called Typhon.
The Typhon system has a
new radar, originated by APL
scientists, that has a data ac
QUESTION rate and high power
far in excess of present designs.
Two new missiles called Long
Range Typhon and Medium
Range Typhon are being de-
veloped along the radar system
to give Naval task forces in
creased flexibility and fire.
power against enemy aircraft
and missiles. Typhon will also
be effective against surface
targets.
When the new weapon system
joins in the late 1905, it will
largely replace the present gen

fleet-Terrier, Talos, and Tar

under the technical direction of
the Applied Physics Laboratory.

Devlin Lumber Will Build
Wood Treating Plant Here

The Devlin Lumber and Sup
ply Corporation, Bethesda and
Rockville, is adding facilities to
produce pressure-treated wood
to resist decay and insect
damage. This plant is to be
erected at Derwood Industrial
Park, a newly opened industrial
development just north of Rock
vile on Route 355.
There has been a need in the
Greater Washington area for an
installation capable of supply
ing clean, pressure-treated lum-
Der in job lots, of all species,
specifications and sizes, accord
ing to the company.
This plant is the first of its
kind in the Washington area and
will be devoted exclusively to
the treatment of commercial
types of wood for the building
industry, industrial trade, retail
lumber dealers, farmers and
others. Local retail lumber
dealers can furnish further in
formation. Along with supply
ing treated material from stock,
a custom treating service will
be available.
The plant will employ the
"osmose process" and is design
ed to impregnate the preserva-
tive, "osmosalts," under me-

been providing weapons for the
American defense arsenal for
more than 20 years dating from
1871 when a group of scientists
at the Department of Terrestrial

Silver Spring. The move was
made in the early spring of 1912,

WASHINGTON CUPID - For
the nations farmers, the first
year of the Kennedy administra-
ton has produced an upturn in
income and a downturn in the
costly grain surplus.
What may be more signifi-
cant in the long run, however,
Is the fact that the new admin
istration turned sharply away
from Eisenhower-era policies
which were designed to reduce
the importance of the govern
ment's role in agriculture.
1851 will be a year in which
rural America turns away from
the dismal trends of the 1950's
and begins now to move to-
wards the goal of economic
equality with other groups in
the nation" Agriculture Secre-
tary Orville L. Freeman had
summed up.
But Freeman's statement does
not have universal endorsement
in farm ranks. The influential
American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, the nations biggest pri-
vate farm group, fought him at
practically every turn this year
and calls his 1861 operations a
failure. The organization is ex-
pected to spearhead opposition
in 1862 to further administra-
ton moves to couple production
controls with relatively high
federal support prices for some
major crops.
Net farm income for 1861 is
expected to hit about S12.7 bill
lion, up 81 billion-9 per cent
from 1860, and the highest level
since 1853. Chief beneficiaries of
this boost were corn belt farm
ers, cattle ranchers, tobacco
growers and some cotton farm
ers. These groups had a COM
bination of good production and
relatively good prices this year.
The year was a relatively
poor one, on the other hand, for
many producers of sheep, chick
ems and turkeys. Farmers who
grew potatoes for fall harvest
found prices low, too. Storm
clouds in the form of a fast
growing surplus began gather
ing over the heads of dairy far
mers during the year.
Total production of crops and
livestock for 1861 is expected to
be about the same as the all
time record volume of 1860. This
is due, however, to a surge in
output of livestock products like
meat, milk and poultry. Produc.
ton of crops dropped about 3

chanical pressure to certain spe'
Gifted retentions. The pressure
treatment forces the preserva-
tive deep into the fibers of the
wood, making it resistant to at
tack by decay, termites and
other insects.
The osmose process is recog-
nized by the federal government
and most State agencies. Many

the use of pressure-treated lum-

pact of administration programs
which paid nearly S770 million
to farmers for not growing
1961-crop corn and grain sorg-
huns.
The result of the controver-
sial acreage-cutting program
was cut of about II per cent
in output of feed grains. For
the first time in a decade, the
government surplus stock of
feed grains will go down instead
of up.
Critics have attacked the
Kennedy program on two
counts. Some farm leaders
charge the administration is
moving toward more controls
over farmers instead of reduc.
ing restrictions, and they main
tain that results of the admin
istration programs so far have
not been worth the cost.
Costs have been heavy. The
agriculture departments spend
ing for the current fiscal year
will be up to an all-time record
of about S7.3 billion, according
to current estimates.
Some of the increase comes
because of payments to farmers
for not growing grain crops.
Some is due to the fact that
Freeman raised government
support prices for most of the
supported crops shortly after
taking office. Some represents

oratory (APL), has developed anti-ar-
craft weapons and weapons systems. First
the proximity or VT fuze "a small radar
set mounted in projectiles) was developed,
increasing many times the anti-aircraft
capability of both u S. and Allied Forces.
Later, significant advances were made in

Since 1915 the Laboratory's principal
achievements have been in supersonic
guided missiles, including development of
the Nays Terrier, Talos, and Tartar
antiaircraft missiles. In addition to cur
rent advanced work in the missile field,
APL is engaged in satellite development
