General Squires

General Squires was Dr. Smith's superior officer at Alpha Control. He was suspicious of some of Smith’s activities, and had him placed under guard. He told Smith that he was aware of are a number of suspicious acts committed by Smith, and that he intended to pursue an investigation of the matter after the lift-off of the Jupiter 2. Ironically, Smith escaped justice again (as he did in “The Reluctant Stowaway”) by re-boarding the ship just before take-off.
