Senate Gets Bill |
To Create Civilian
Space Agency
WASHINGTON, UPi — Passed
unanimously by the House, a bill
to create a civilian space agency
moved toward prompt consider
ation in the Senate.
The Senate Space Committee
under majority leader Lyndon
B. Johnson planned to start
closed-session work on the legis
lation by the end of the week.
Along with it, the House sent
a strong call for international
cooperation in the peaceful ex
ploration of space.
President Eisenhower urgently
asked Congress for the bill two
months ago. He said a new
agency' to direct America’s non
military space activities is needed
to make the most of U. S.
efforts.
The House measure generally
follows the Eisenhower plan.
The new National Aeronautics
and Space Administration would
be headed by a $22,500-a-year
civilian. It would absorb the
long-established National Advis
ory Committee for Aeronautics.
Lines of cooperation between
NASA and the Defense Depart
ment and the Atomic Energy
Commission would be set up
through liaison committees. Un
resolved disputes over who
should handle space projects
would be settled by the President.
What’s All The Cackling
About?—English Woman
Hatches Hen’s Egg
"St. LEONARDS-ON-SEA, Eng
land, Uf) — Mrs. Ella Petry re
ported Tuesday a chicken had
hatched from an egg she carried
in her bosom for 21 days.
The chick weighs slightly more
than an ounce. It has been
named Bald Eagle, after one of
the favorites in the Epsom Derby.
Mrs. Petry, 48, said the whole
thing started as a gag in the bar
for her neighborhood pub. The
proprietor’s son had a starling j
egg which he wanted hatched, t
Mrs. Petry put it down the I
front of her dress, but two days |
later it broke.
“Everyone said I , couldn’t
hatch out an egg,” she said. “So
I went out and bought a pullet’s
egg from a breeder. I carried
it night and day in a cotton
lined wire holder next to my
skin.”
“Then Mon. night while the pub
proprietor was saying ‘time’
the chick began tapping. It
made its way out of the egg in
the presence of a dozen wit
nesses.”
Mrs. Petry said she will raise
the chick as a household pet.

Army Launches
Redstone Missile
[From Inland Site
WHITE SANDS MISSILE
RANGE, N. M., OP)—Army troops
Monday night successfully tested
the combat readiness of the Red
stone missile, an Army announce
ment said.
Troops of the 40th Field Artil
lery Missile Group launched the
intermediate range, missile under
tactical conditions on the desert
j sands at the nation’s largest over
i land rocket and missile testing
| center.
The Army said the firing
marked the first time a Redstone
missile was launched inland. Of
ficials would not say how far the
missile went or where it went.
The Redstone was the basic
missile used in launching the Ex
plorer earth satellite. It has a
range of 200-250 miles and pre
viously had been launched from
Cape Canaveral, Fla.
The Cape Canaveral launching
also was handled by troops of
the 40th group—which as little
as 18 months ago had on its
rolls the last mule pack com
pany in the U. S. Army.
Russians Claim Ability
To Grow Huge Vegetables
LONDON, (jP) — The Russians
claimed Tuesday to have discov
ered a soil preparation that will
produce carrots 3 feet high and
cabbages 5 feet wide. They
didn’t say how the monsters
taste.
Moscow radio quoted Prof. Mik
hail Shemyakin, an organic chem
istry authority, as saying the se
cret is in hibberlines—fungi with
a fantastic capacity to stimulate
growth.
Shemyakin, said five grams
(0.176 of an ounce) of the fungi
i strains spread over one hectare
I (nearly 2VS> acres) is enough to
obtain giant vegetables.
“Moreover.” he added, “they
cut the vegetation period from
months to weeks, thus making it
possible to introduce farm crops
in both the: extreme north and
deserts.”
