’
U.S. to Put on 24
Hour Custom Service
At Alaska-Canada Border
WASHINGTON UR — The Unit
ed States will put 24-hour Cus
toms and Immigration service in
to effect at the Alaska-Canada
border station next summer, Sen.
E. L. Bartlett said Thursday.
Bartlett was informed by Sec
retary of the Treasury Douglas
Dillon that additional employes
will be added to give day and
night service from iMay 1 through
Sept. 30.
"The Canadian government is
not prepared to offer similar,’’
Bartlett said in a statement, but
“Canadian officials have assured
Secretary of. State Dean Rusk
that as vehicular traffic increases
it may reconsider its position.”
It'isn't a sign you are neurotic
if you demand a quiet atmosphere
in which you work. Psychologists
have found neurotics usually work
better amid noise. The sound dis
tracts them from their own men
tal and emotional conflicts.
Invasion of Vipers . . .
TAMPA, Fla. Ufl — A 42-pound
cottonmouth killed on a Tampa
subdivision street has prompted

neighborhood asking the county

lem.
The 5-foot-4 cottonmouth turn

X-15 Is Paving Way
For Astronauts to
Ride Back to Earth
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif, (jfl — In the most danger
ous X-15 flight yet, a pilot set a
world’s record for going up—to
prove this important point about
coming down:
That an astronaut doesn’t have
to ride back to earth as a prison
er in a falling capsule—but can
land safely through the earth’s
atmosphere in a winged craft and
land where he wishes.
Air Force Maj. Bob White Wed
nesday set a new world’s alti
tude record for winged flight, 40
miles, and then made a belly
flopping re-entry into the at
mosphere which cracked the wind
shield of the rocket plane.
The plane dropped spread
eagle into the atmosphere the
way a diver belly-flops into a
swimming pool. The stress and
friction heat would have torn a
conventional plahe apart.
The method spreads the heat of
re-entry over a large area of the
plane. Wednesday’s successful
flight proved techniques which
may be used in re-entries on fu
ture Dyna-Soar and Apollo man
ned orbital flights in winged
rocket craft, scientists said.
White said the windshield broke
as the plane hit the thickening
atmosphere at 60,009 or 70,000
feet. He said the crack, on the
outer glass panel of the X-tlS’s
windshield, didn’t interfere with
any control of the plane.
The temperature on the X-45’s
surface reached 900 degrees—300
under the maximum the X-15 was
designed to withstand.
White reached an altitude of
215,000 feet—more than eight
miles higher than the previous
X-15 record, il69,000 feet. His top
speed was 3,477 miles an hour,
under the X-15’s previous record
of 3,645.
