I Carrier Rocket
I Of Sputnik I
| Presumed Down
CHESHIRE, England, Uft—The
carrier rocket of the first Soviet
satellite disappeared Saturday—
and presumably disintegrated —
somewhere up in the atmosphere,
British scinetists reported.
Prof. Alec Lovell, director of
i the world’s largest radio tele
I scope at Jodrell Bank, said the
j half-ton rocket casing could not
j be located anywhere in the skies
j —the first time it was not tracked
i here since the Russians launched
Sputnik I on Oct. 4.
The rocket carrier Friday took
a comparatively sharp downward
dip and appeared headed back
into the earth’s atmosphere. The
scientists said the resulting fric
tion caused by the "atmosphere
would turn the rocket into a ball
of fire and burn it out before it
could reach the earth.
Warns Against
Unlicensed
Insurance Firms
A communication from Ross P.
Duncan, Territorial Insurance
Commissioner, advised that sev
eral unlicensed insurance com
panies have been soliciting busi
ness by mail from Alaskans. The
Insurance Department as studying
means to prevent this solicitation
by unlicensed insurance compan
ies. However, it was felt some
notice should be given to those
persons receiving the mail solicit
ations, of the hazards of purchas
ing insurance from unlicensed
| persons or companies,
j The problem of presenting a
claim for payment to an un
licensed insurance company is
one that can be very difficult if
the company refused payment,
since some of the companies are
licensed in only one state.
Records now'show thait the fol
lowing, unlicensed, companies are
soliciting the* policyholders in
Alaska;
Guarantee Reserve Life Insur
ance Company, Hammond, Ind.;
New Empire Insurance Com
pany, Kansas City, Mo.
Mr. Duncan said the Depart
ment of Insurance can be of only
limited assistance to those per
sons purchasing insurance from
unlicensed companies. '
