Twins MAKING
Griffith Look
Like Prophet
KiIIebrew, Allison
And Stigmun Click
To Cause Trouble
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
Cal Griffith Of the Twins
said recently that when Har-
mon Killebrew and Bob Allison
start to hit, and IF we can find
another starting pitcher. we'll
cause lots of trouble yet"
Kfllebrew went on a power
hinge starting two weeks ago
and now has Is home runs and
SO runs batted in.
Allison has hit at a 1893 clip
in his last seven games, in
Guiding five home runs and
IA RBI.
AS for the starting pitcher,
Dick Stigman, the forgotten
lefthander who was yanked
from the bullpen six days ago,
since has pitched two straight
complete game victories while
striking out 10 and allowing
only IL hits.
And the Twins have been
causing trouble, shaking a
slump, winning eight of 10
games and climbing back to
within Az games of the first
place Yankees in the American
League. They trail second
place Los Angeles by only two
games.
Keep Pace With Angels
Griffith watched in glee last
night as Allison, hitting in his
seventh straight game, raped
a three-run homer behind Stig-
man, who scattered five hits
and famed eight in beating
the Tigers, 81.
The victory enabled the re-
vived Twins to keep pace with
the runnerup Angels. who
came from behind to nip Bal
timore, 6-5, in IA innings.
The two were the only games
played in the AL yesterday.
Before he got his first start
Of the season July 10 against
Cleveland, Stigman had ap-
peared in relief Is times for the
Twins. He had q 80 record,
but had pitched only 80 innings.
The ex-Indian, out much of
last season with a sore arm,
allowed six hits and famed II

Killebrew and Allison hit grand
slam homers in the first inning.
That earned him another
start and the 26-year-old left
handler didn't disappoint Man.
ager Sam Mele. Despite a Tiger
lineup bolstered by the return
of Al Kaline for the first time
since May 26, Stigman (5-2)
went all the way again on a five
hitter despite walking seven. He
collared Kaline four straight
times, struck out eight for a
total Of 81 in so innings this
year, and was so tough in the
clutch that Detroit stranded IL
runners. His ERA dipped to
-2.70.
Rollins, Green Homer
A two-run homer by Rich
Rollins, his 18th, and Lenny
Green's 18th got the Twins off
to a 40 lead in two innings.
Allison, who has climbed to
.272 with 81 RBI, hit No. IA
with two on in the seventh.
The only Tiger run came in the
third when Stigman uncorked
a wild pitch with the bases
loaded and Rocky Colavito bat
ting. Rocky then struck out.
Paul Foytack (7-4 was the
loser.
The Angels pushed across the
winning run in the 18th against
Believer Dick Hall when Felix
Torres delivered a bases-loaded
single. 1t was the first run off
Hall after a string of 20 shut
out innings.
Dean Chance (7-5) got the
victory for the Angels with five
strong innings Of relief after
Los Angeles rallied to tie the
score in the ninth. The triumph
moved the Angels to within
212 games of the league-leading
Yankees, who had the day off.

Britain Backs
Congo Unity

UNITED NATIONS, Aug. II
(AP) Britain told the United
Nations today she favors bring
ing Katanga back into the
Congo but viii not apply econo-
mic pressure to do so.
British Delegate Colin Grove
set forth that position to u. N.
Undersecretary Ralph ].
Bunche, a Congo adviser to
acting Secretary General .
Thant.
Mr.. Thant asked all U. N
members in a July 81 letter to
consider economic sanctions. il
necessary. to induce Katanga
province to end its two years
Of secession.
The United States and Bel
gium informed the United Ma
tions in the last two days they
were willing to apply such
pressure if persuasion failed.
A British delegation source
said Mr.. Grove told DR.. Bunche
Britain was against economic
sanctions, whether voluntary OF
otherwise, and would not i'm
plement them. At the same
time, he told reporters, Britain's
objective is peaceful reintegra-
ton of Katanga into the Congo
He said she shared that OBJ
jective with the other parties
to recent Washington talks on
the subject-Belgium, France
and the United States.
The informant denied sug-
geStions that Britain is drag
ging its feet on the matter be-
cause it had a large financial
stake in Katanga. He called
that nonsence because Britain's
financial stake in the rest of
the Congo is greater than that
in Katanga itself.

more, lobbing missiles at fixed
targets ashore.
But the mission Of protecting
strategic shore targets from
submarine missile attack from
submarines is quite a different
problem, Mr.. Korth says, add
ing:
When the submarine is en-
gagged full-time in avoiding
contact with anyone, when he
can fire at a time and place
more or less of his own choos-
ing and deploy his submarines
days or even months in advance
then the problem is infinitely
more difficult"
In Mr.. Korth's comments
about the problem of defense
against enemy missile-firing
submarines there also is i'm
plicit the reverse side of the
picture: What is true of So
Wet menace is equally true in
the case of the United States
Navy's own Polaris fleet. This
already consists of six Subma-
rines each armed with 16
thermonuclear rockets and is
deployed in the Northeastern
Atlantic.

U.S.. COPTER PILOT ZIPS UNDER
SCOTTISH BRIDGE FOR KICKS

EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP)-A United States
Navy pilot set illegal lowfying record yesterday by
tipping his helcopter under partially completed bridge
Scotland'S River Forth.
The sudden of the chopper sent fright through
aborers working the 300foot high span Ferry boat
passengers gazed up in alarm from the river Minutes
later telephones buzzed angry in the office of local
authorities.
They promptly complained to the 6000-ton USS
Tanner which arrived in the Forth yesterday from Nor
folk Va, and which had sent the heicopter out for
maintenance check to Edinburgh Airport
The pilot 1t. Donald Calder %. Navy spokes-
man said he from New Jersey but declined to

dirt cheap alongside the multi
million-dollar cost of individual
space launchings, especially
when total program cost is
amortized over successful shots
only. OF course, Kills flights
and space flights are not di-
rectly comparable, as even the
most dedicated Kills tout would
admit. But for checkout OF
spacecraft equipment--such as
a star camera now being pre-
pared for flight-the Kills will
be able to do relatively cheap
groundwork for space, and in
this field a cost comparison is
valid.
The star camera is one of the
first jobs assigned to Kills in
its new role of service airplane,
NASA wants to find out some-
thing about a camera that will
be orbited later. A prototype
Of this camera will be installed
in the Instrumentation bay Just
behind the pilot.
New Flight Soon
On star-camera missions the
extra few hunderd thousand
feet of altitude still unused
in Kills will be of considerable
value. There is still, at so miles,
a little atmosphere left; pre-
cious little. but enough to make
a difference to a space camera,
The sky will be clearer at rs or
100 miles.
So 1t is reasonable to assume
that one fine day quite soon,
$4,000 feet over Nevada, Kills
will set out on another record
altitude flight. The mark won't
be set for the sake of defending
the existing record, because it
will be a long time before an
other winged airplane will top
$4,000 feet. 1t will be done for
science, for engineering knowl-
edge, for the Nations aspira-
tions in space.
The day will finally come
when KISS performance is
surpassed by something with
wings, but probably not by any
thing short Of a true space
plane. This black, stubby-
winged bird has pushed the
frontiers of atmospheric flight
far. far out-quite possibly as
far as they will ever go.

today and for the foreseeable
future.
Mr.. Korth's comments, made
in a talk with a newsman, were
pointed up by the recent claim
in a Soviet publication that
atomic-powered Russian SUBJ
marines can fire rockets from
both surface and submerged
positions. This is what the
United States Polaris system
does.
The Secretary said it was be-
cause of the urgency of this
continental defense problem
that the Navy established more
than year ago a special anti
submarine warfare committee,
headed by the Secretary and in
cluding in its membership the
top-ranking operations and re-
search officers of the depart
ment.
Studied Program
Mr.. Korth returned recently
from an on-the-spot inspection
of ASW operations. He first
boarded the ASW carrier In
trepid at sea off the Virginia
Capes, then transferred to a
destroyer. From these ships he
studied the work of the hunter
killer part of the ASW develop
ment and training program.
Later. he rode the nuclear
submarine Scorpion to learn
what a deep-diving, high-speed
atomic subm arine can dc
against hunting surface ships
and aircraft.
Along with the problem OF
defending the United States
against Soviet missile subma-
rines, Mr.. Korth says, is that of
protecting overseas operation
of naval surface forces and the
shipment of supplies and troops.
This he considers a little cas-
ier to solve than the first be-
cause to. attack sea lanes and
surface forces an enemy sub
marine must track it's target

/ So far, emergencies have beer
few in number, and most
flights have been, If not un-
eventful, at least about as pre-
dicted. But this is not to say
that every Kills mission goes
off on schedule. or even that
Kills flies each time its mother
ship leaves the ground.
OF Ill B-52 takeoffs from
the start of the program in
1859 through the end Of last
month. there were 4 actual
drops of the Kills, or a launch
ing batting average" Of about
SIT. OF these "a launchings, all
but three ended without emer-
gency situations arising. And
of these three emergencies, only
one resulted in serious damage
to the airplane.
Engine on Fire
That one occurred in Novem-
Der, 1859, the fourth time Kills
flew, with North American
Aviation's test pilot Scott Cross
field at the controls. Cross
field brought plane No. 2 in for
an emergency landing after the
engine caught fire. Owing to
poor design of the shock
absorber in the nose-wheel me-
chanism, too much force was
impaired to the fuselage. and
the crafts back" was broken
just aft of the pilot compart-
ment.
Mr.. CrosSfield was unharmed; |;
In fact, when rescuers came up
he was still making his post
flight cockpit check. A North
American flight surgeon told
Mr.. Crossfield, Hey, you broke
the airplane."
What do you mean. I broke
the airplane?" Crossfield de-
manded. 1t was the first he
knew of the mishap behind
him.
Charles Feltz. chief engineer
of Kills for North American
and now that companys No. |
capsule engineer for the Apollo
moon program. says the trouble
in the shock absorber was easy
enough to design around" once
it came to engineers attention.
1t has not caused trouble since
and KISS regular pilots now
say the shock of landing is
scarcely noticeable.
Mr.. Crossfield, KISS first
pilot, also had the only other

miles above his planned alti-
tude last July I'D.
A typical Kills mission begins
a week before the B-52 mother
ship actually takes off from
Edwards with the Kills under
its wing. The pilot is given the
objective and told the general
circumstances of the flight.
First of all. the pilot proves
to himself that this mission is
humanity possible to fly" says
John B. Mckay, 39-year-old
NASA test pilot. This is done
on a flight stimulation device
which all the Kills pilots have
found to be an invaluable
training aid.
BY the time launching rolls
around. the general objectives
have been reduced to a detailed
flight plan, three or four pages
long. For the 10 minutes of the
flight, the pilot is a. busy man
-buSier far than an astronaut
in orbit. A man qualified to
judge the relative BUSINESS of
the two is Walter C. Williams,
No. 2 man at NASA's new
Houston manned spacecraft
center, who headed the Ed
wards facility when Kills got
under way. Says Mr.. Williams:
"The Mercury missions are
relatively slow by comparison.
The total Kills flight is about
the same duration as Hawaii
to California in the Mercury
mission. In this period the Kills
pilot manages a propulsion sys-
tenn. climbs out on q precise

Altitude. velocity and dura-

management and good sense
He does not include good luck
but this is probably in the
picture too.
Another Advantage
There is an inherent added
advantage Kills enjoys over
earlier research planes that
flew with less happy results
Maj. White points out.
"a number of research air
planes in the past had hmita-
tions on the stability of con-
troll of the vehicle when YOU
get to certain Mach-numbel
ranges, yet the airplane was
capable of getting into these
areas" he says.

the speed Of sound; it is also
capable of being tloiOn at that
velocity Of more than a mile a
second.
Maj. White calls KISS basic
design superb" As an engi-
neer himself. he has a feel for
the problems that confront
Charlie Feltz and the other
North American engineers who
worked on the plane.
He credits wind-tunnel re-
searchers of the old National
Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics predecessor of NASA)
with conducting the vital
studies on which North Ameri-
cans designs were based. Mr..
Feltz comedies the value of
these researches but says that

edge. I'VE were way over our
heads" when design work on
Kills began. The airplane was
a thing Of problems and vexa-
tlons to Mr.. Feltz; to this day
he calls Kills that goat"
Plane Just Evolved
There was no way to design
Kills using tried-and-true ma
terials and techniques. Conse-
quently, Mr.. Feltz says, Kills
kind Of evolved" 1t took thou
sands of hours of time on high
speed computers to develop
basic concepts, and more than
1000 hours in 26 wind tunnels
to reduce these concepts to a
shape that would fly. It is fair
to say that Kills taxed the
aeronautical engineering capa-
bilities of the United States to
the limit, and quite possibly a
little beyond.
But through KISS develop
ment, men like Mr.. de Beeler at
NASA-Edwards point out, these
capabilities have been ex-
panded far beyond present
aeronautical needs. For once
there is room in which imagi-
native designers can maneuver.
