Misses Range

CAPE CANAvERAL. Fla.
Aug. 8 (AP). - The Navy
launched an advanced model
of the Polaris submarine mis-
sile for the first time yesterday
but termed the flight only par
tally successful because Of
second-stage trouble.
Officials said the underlined
upper-stage difficulty caused
the AS rocket to fall far short
Of its intended 1,950-mile
range.
After an estimated two-year
flight test program. the AS is
scheduled for operational de-
ployment aboard nuclear sub
marines. The A-3 will have q
maximum range Of 1880 miles,
more than 1000 miles greater
than the Az.

It is ovbious that Gemini is

without using any extra power
at all. While the higher Agena
is orbiting five-and-a-fraction

two orbiters should be fairly
close together and at the same

Several hours after takeoff
the ground computers crank out
a prediction as to when Gemini

will be the instant for the pilot
to apply the kick-in-the-apogee.

After this brief adjustment,
Gemini's radar picks UP the
Agena, still far too remote to
be seen. An electronic relay
called a transporter" on the
IAgena detects Gemini's radar
signal. amplifies and retrans-

Gemini detects this return and

tronic brain not much bigger
than a standard desk calculator
but infinitely more complex.
The pilot has no conven-
tional radar screen before him,

Of blips and beeps. Rather. the
computer gives him numbers on
a set of digital displays-nnm-
bers that tell when, and where,

Missile Halted

A Sparrow III guided missile

sile head-on and destroyed it,
the Navy announced yesterday.
Both missiles were timed at
speeds faster than sound. A
head-on interception of q tar

The Sparrow, which uses radar
for guidance. was launched

titude of the missiles and exact

ton was not. disclosed for Sc

this period, or campaign" as it is
called, see on one hand thousands
Of tons of sugar beets arriving
from eastern Montana farms; on
the other, freight cars being loaded
with pure, refined sugar from the
warehouse, and in between, a
wide panorama of industrial ac-
tivity.
The work of extracting sugar
from the beet consists of basic
processes that sound simple
enough: the sugar first is soaked
from the beet in liquid form; the
resulting juice then is purified,
concentrated and cryStallized, and
finally the crystals are separated
from the remaining liquid.
Actually, sugar chemistry is in
finitely complex, and intricate
engineering problems are involved.
Specific processes include such
operations as diffusion, precipita-
ton, filtration, evaporation, crys-
utilization, and most unit processes
of chemical engineering.

Sugar Beet Harvest
Is Memorable,

It's fast approaching sugar beet
hraveSt time in Montana, and at
Holly Sugars plants at Sidney
and Hardin, Montana, all is in
readiness for the economic excite
ment of sugar-making.
AT the height of the campaign,
Holly's beet sugar factories pre-
sent a series of memorable i'm
pressions-the droning hum of
motors; the splash of water in
beet-washing tanks; the whizz of
wide conveyor belts; the whir of
the giant centrifugals; the clatter
of sugar-packaging machinery; the
arrival of sugar beets at the fac
tory by truck and train - and
in contrast, the quiet watchfulneSs
of factory technicians at the con-
troll panels of automatic and
semi-automatic processing equip
ment.

NUMISMATIC NOTES
SeuIskin Notes

In the year 1871 two Rus
slams, Golikoff and Sheilkoff
by name, organized a COM
pany to engage in the fur
trade in Alaska. This COM
pany successfully traded with
the natives in the Aleutian
Islands undisturbed until
1897.
In that year a man named
Mylnikoff formed the Com
mercial American Co. to work
the company already oper-
ating in Alaska. The follow
ing year the two companies
merged under the name of
the Russian-American Co.
The RusSian-American Co.
was allowed to issue its own
money in three denomina-
tions, ruble. so kopecs and
10 kopecs. These notes were
issued between 1918 and 1925
to provide a medium of ex-
change in dealings with the
natives. All are extremely
rare.
The notes were printed in
black on tan Sealskin, 2l2
inches by 134 inches in size.
The diverse shows the seal Of
the RuSsian-American Co.
with the denomination below.
The seal shows the Russian
eagle with the inscription
