Wyoming Couple Meet Kin, Tour Nome
Birthplace After Coach Trip In Russia
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Murane |
came to Nome the “long way j
’round,” leaving their home in!
Casper, Wyo., and traveling to
Europe enroute over the Pole with
SAS from Copenhagen.
Their itinerary included an 18-1
day coach trip in Russia on
coaches especially built for Amer
ican tourists, which included many
luxuries, such as refrigerators,
not usually provided for other
tourists.
As the transportation was pro
vided, they were able to travel out
into the country and see more of
the people with less supervision
than tourists just going to Mos
cow are allowed.
In Moscow proper, they stated,
guards prohibited them from see
ing inside many of the living
units of the people. Mrs. Murane
reported that one of their party
did get into the students’ quar
ters and found that a married
couple and child had one very
small room without benefit of
bath and other facilities which
were available only on commu
nity basis at the “end of the
hall.”
In the quarters for working
people, they found six and eight
people crowded into very small
quarters, with limited facilities
for "bath and toilet, on a com
munity basis also.
. While they were in Moscow,
samples of American prepared
food which were sent for the
American exhibit in the Trade Ex
position by American manufac
turers, including such items as
Bisquick, were not allowed to be
given to the Russian people.
“As for clothing,” stated Mrs.
Murane, “they are the poorest
dressed people I have ever seen.”
“I am glad we made the trip.
I wouldn’t believe that such a
way of life existed, and it is a
most shocking revelation to me,”
she said. The newspapers can
only print what they are allowed
to print, and the American news
released to them paints a very
shoddy picture of Americans, they
relate, and the people are afraid
to speak out. and talk.
Mr. Murane, who is a judge in
Casper, Wyo., is a member of the
House of Delegates of the Amer
ican Bar Association, and en
joyed meeting the president of
the Alaska Bar Association, Jim
von der Heydt, as both will be
attending the Bar Association
meeting in Florida next month.
The three Murane brothers had
their first meeting together in
three yars while in Nome, where
they were born, and they visited
their birthplaces, church and other
historical places yesterday and
today.

Missile Chief
Justifies Repeated
Atlas Failures
WASHINGTON, UP> — Lt. Gen.
Bernard A. Schriever, Air Force
missile chief, told House investi
gators yesterday there is no cause
for alarm over recent repeated
failures in the long range Atlas
missile.
Schriever expressed confidence
the big intercontinntal missile
will be ready for combat use bv
approximately September 1 —
some 60 days later than the ori
ginal target date.
Schriever, head of the Air Re
search and Developmnt Com
mand, was th first witness in a
I House Space Committee inquiry
into what has gone wrong in the
Atlas program.
Of the five failures, Schriever
described two as being related
and said they occurred 100 to 150
seconds after launching.
In both cases, he said, the mis
siles exploded about 20 seconds
after the two booster stages had
dropped off.
“We have made a very detailed
analysis and we are pretty sure
we know where the problem ex
isted and we think we have fixed
it,” Schriver said.
He declined to elaborate during
an open session but said however,
there had been a very severe fuel
problem in both these failures.
Of the three other failures,
Schriever said all were unrelated
but that he thinks the difficulty in
each case has been corrected.
. “It is, of course, too early for
me to say with certainty that we
have identified and eliminated the
causes of our recent Atlas flight
test malfunction,” Schriever told
the committee.
But he said the Air Force feels
it has corrected the difficulties
that caused five successive failures
in Atlas firings over a five-month
period.
He noted that an advanced
model Atlas scored what he termed
a completely successful flight over
its full 5,500-mile Atlantic range
last week.
Under questioning, Schriever
said all of the five failures oc
curred in B and C series missiles
which he described as latter mod
els of the Atlas. The A.ir Force
had achieved unexpected suc
csss with the earlier series, he
said.
