Huge Sodium 4C
In Southwest Sky
Is Science Success
ALAMOGORDO, N. M., UP)—A
gigantic flame colored “C” in
southwestern skies—a letter esti
mated to be 30 miles long—has
spelled success to latest Air Force
probes of upper atmosphere se
crets.
Scientists described Wednesday
night’s test, a sodium emission
project, as “something never be
fore seen—a complete success sci
entifically.”
The spectacular orange - red
plume, shaped by winds from 40
to 70 miles above earth into the
alphabetical symbol, was clearly
visible more than 300 miles away
shortly after its firing at dusk.
The star Vega was wrapped in
its almost exact center.
The vapor trail, foaming out of
a special Aerobee rocket from two
containers of metallic sodium, was
visible, according to the Air Force,
for 27 minutes.
Complete technical results of
the widely heralded test will not
be known for “at least two weeks
and perhaps longer,” said John F.
Bedinger of the Air Force Cam
bridge Research Center, whose of
ficials worked with Holloman Air
Development Center personnel in
the test.
The Air Force, in the experi
ment, was seeking to determine
the origin, density, characteristics
and altitude of natural sodium in
the atmosphere—part of the stuff
that makes dawns and dusks.
West Point men built the first
two locomotives produced in this
country, surveyed and constructed
all of the transcontinental rail
ways as well as the important
branch lines, made the first coast
al and geodetic surveys, and ex
plored and mapped the trails for
western migrations.

7-Language Dictionary To Ike’s Aide
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Seven hand-bound sets of the view seven
language Encyclopaedia Britannica World Language Dictionary
—one for the chief of each of the nations whose languages are
used—were presented to representatives of the White House and
of the embassies of England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico
and Sweden by Britannica President, Robert C. Preble, at a din
ner recently in Washington. Earl Chesney, personal representa
tive of President Eisenhower, at left, is shown receiving the
dictionary from Mr. Preble.
The dinner marked the official
release of the second edition of
the seven-language dictionary,
which is dedicated, by their joint
permissions, to President Eisen
hower, Queen Elizabeth, Presi
dent Coty of France, President
Heuss of Germany, Former Pres
ident Einaudi of Italy, President
Ruiz Cortines of Mexico and King
Gustaf VI Adolph of Sweden.
The joint dedication of the new
work was obtained by Britannica
in the interest of better world
understanding. Never before in
publishing history has such ap
proval been granted by the chiefs
of seven nations.
This second edition of the im
tannica World Language Dic
tionary is the product of the joint
effort of more than 150 scholars
from all over the world, all spe
cialists in one or another of the
languages printed in the work.
When the first edition was issued
about a year ago, Mr. Preble an
nounced that copies of the world
language sections would be sent
to such specialists with an invi
tation to suggest corrections or
additions. So voluminous and val
uable were these suggestions that
the second edition emerged almost
twice as large as the first.
Truman Says Legion Went ‘Haywire'
In Voting U.S. Should Quit UNESCO
NEW YORK, U!)—Former Presi
dent Harry S. Truman yesterday
accused the American Legion of
going “haywire” in wanting the
United States to quit the U.N. Ed
ucational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization.
The Legion, in a resolution ad
opted by an overwhelming voice
vote at its Miami convention on
Wednesday* urged Congress to
abolish the U.S. natoinal commis
sion for UNESCO.
“The Legion doesn’t know what
it is taking abou\” declared Tru
man. “They have gone haywire in
the last three or four years. They
don’t know what they are doing.”
Truman, a Legionnaire himself,
voiced his feeling to reporters as
he took his usual early morning
stroll. He and hi§ wife are spend
ing a week in New York.
Noting that the Legion’s resolu
tion came in the face of action by
a six-man Legion committee that
gave UNESCO a clean bill of
health, Truman noted:
“Their own committee said that
shoqldn’t be done.”
However, Truman went on to
temper his criticism, saying of the
Legion membership:
U.S. Air Force Best,
Says Air Secretary
WASHINGTON, W—All things
considered, says Air Force Secre
tary Quarles, “there is no other
air force in the world that, match
es our own.”
He added, in addressing a group
of cfviation writers Wednesday,
that free world air power is “quite
definitely superior to that of the
Communist bloc."
Complacency could cause that
lead to evaporate, however, he
said, and could “invite the kind of
war we are trying to avoid.”
“They’re a fine bunch of kids.
They fought for the welfare of
their country. Most of them knew
what they were fighting for, but
they seem to have forgotten . .
Asked what he meant by saying
the Legion had gone “haywire” in
recent years, Truman said:
“I’m sorry to see them ge. into
politics. They had no business do
ing so.”
Under the Legion constitution,
he said, the veterans organization
should remain out of politics.
“There’s a bunch of new fellows
in charge. They haven’t read the
(Legion) constitution.”
Reporters accompanying Tru
man on his brisk walk from the
Waldorf-Astoria around mid-town
Manhattan asked what he thought
of Russia’s '“new look” in interna
tional affairs.
“I don’t trust the Russians,” he
replied. “I never have, I never
will, and I wouldn’t trust them
until their actions show they can
be trusted.”
