One Vapor Rocket Flops
In Two Tries for East
Coast Stratosphere Test
WASHINGTON, — A second
sodium vapor rocket was fired
early yesterday from Wallops
Island, Va., but it failed to eject
its brilliant yellow cloud at the
top of its flight. The rocket it
self rose to 160 miles.
Civilian space scientists were
unable to say immediately why
the sodium vapor failed to spew
out of the rocket.
Another sodium rocket fired
Wednesday at dusk was visible
for hundreds of miles along the
Eastern Seaboard.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration planned a
third sodium flare try this morn
ing. The sodium clouds help scien
tists study wind currents at high
altitudes.

Lack of Snow Forces
Army Winter Instructors
To Camp on Glacier
FORT RICHARDSON — A
major problem is facing instruc
tors at the U. S. Army Cold
Weather and Mountain School at
Fort Greely. There isn’t any snow.
Lack of the fluffy white stuff
at the Army’s northernmost post
has forced 29 school instructors
south to the Anchorage area,
where they are now bivouacked
on Eagle River Glacier . . . the
only place with enough snow - to
continue their special training.
“The men are practicing train
ing techniques they will use in
teaching cold weather warfare
at the schol this winter,” accord
ing to Colonel Frank Forrest, as
sistant CWMS commandant. “This
unexpected shortage of snowfall
would have set back our schedule
quite a bit, if it hadn’t been for
our quick move to the ‘Banana
Belt’ Eagle River Glacier.”
A 128-man group of soldiers
from Fort Lewis, Washington’s 1st
Battle Group, 12th Infantry, is due
to arrive at the school for special
winter training.
Scheduled to take the instruc
tors course, they will return to
Fort Lewis to pepare the battle
group for its role in the forthcom
ing Alaska Army maneuver Exer
cise “Little Bear.”
The Cold Weather and Mountain
School staff have one common
hope ... a snowstorm.
