Rockefeller - Dewey
Conference Sets Off
Spirited Speculation
NEW YORK, (/PI —i Governor
Nelson A. Rockefeller conferred
last week with former Governor
. Thomas Dewe^. This was learned
amid reports the Governor may
clarify soon his views on seeking
the Republican Presidential nom
ination.
Rockefeller also met separately
with a small group of his political
advisers.
His advisers, in the face of re
ports that he will base his decision
primarily on public opinion polls,
want him to make clear that such
polls would be only one factor
and perhaps not the decisive one.
Rockefeller was understood to
have agreed to clarify his position.
Whether this topic was dis
cussed in the meeting with Dewey
was not known.
Richard Amper, Rockefeller’s
press secretary, confirmed that
the Governor and the former Re
publican Presidential candidate
had dinner together Wednesday,
but added only that they had “dis
cussed problems o f mutual
interest.”
Hot cross buns were eaten as
part of pagan rituals before the
practice was adapted for the early
Christian church. Ancient Greeks,
Romans, Saxons, Mexicans and
Peruvians all had similar customs.

Official in State
ANCHORAGE, UP — Optimism
that an agreement reached in
Washington D. C., between nego
tiators of the Associated General
Contractors and the Alaska Coun
cil of Carpenters will be satisfac
tory to all sides, was expressed
here Friday.
“I have learned the type of
settlement probably will be agreed
upon by all,” said William Hib
berd, Alaska manager of AGC.
“Eveybody’s optimistic. I hope
nothing will happen to change
their opinions.”
However, Marvin Mitchell, as
sistant business agent for the Car
penters local here, has not yet
been informed any agreement
was reached in Washington. “Offi
cially, I do not know a thing.”
he said.
Despite the possibility of an
end to the six-week-old strike, a
second military construction pro
ject has been shut down for the
season, the U. S. Army Engineers
announced today.
It is the construction of a com
posite building, water storage
tank, pumphouse and outside fa
cilities at Sparrevohn, an Air
Force site 200 miles west of An
chorage. The $1,500,000 job was
due for completion by December
31, but strikes have made it im
possible to close in the buildings
for work to continue during the
colder months.
Earlier, the Engineers an
nounced closure of a $198,000
project on St. Lawrence Island
for the same reason.
London Underground . . .
LONDON, UPt — London’s army j
of streetwalkers is expected to go
underground.
A new law goes into force, !
aimed - at clearing the streets of I
parading prostitutes.
They will run the risk of a jail |
sentence and hefty fine if they j
are repeatedly caught soliciting.
Up to now they have faced a j
nominal fine of two pounds —
$5.60 — paid up willingly and |
gone back to their beat.

Two Missile Busts
The United States had its busi
est day of rocketry Friday since
it began reaching for space. But
the main effort failed — an at
tempt to send a 12-foot inflatable
balloon into orbit.
The June II rocket roared space
ward from Cape Canaveral, Fla.,
bearing the unusual balloon-moon.
Its three stages ignited success
fully, but the last one apparently
went in the wrong direction and
carried the satellite lpack into the
earth’s atmosphere.
Another failure was a giant Ti
tan missile that blew up on its
launching pad at the Cape earlier
in the day.
On the plus side at Cape Canav
eral was a successful launching of
a Polaris missile from a three
million-dollar machine' that simu
lates the motion of a submarine at
sea. The weapon is designed to be
fired from a sub anywhere in the
world.
At Vandenberg Air Force Base,
Calif., a British Air Force train
ing crew suuccesfully launched a
1,500-mile Thor missile, the kind
being set up at bases in England.
Another Thor was launched at
Cape Canaveral. It carried a
movie camera to photograph the
earth from an altitude of 300
miles. But the capsule carrying
the camera was not found.
In "Hawaii, Air Force planes
equipped with dangling trapeze
devices tried to snare a capsule
returning to earth from the sat
ellite Discoverer V, which was
fired into orbit Thursday from the
West Coast base. They failed to
get any sight of the capsule.
If the Cape Canaveral balloon
had gone into orbit, it would have
been the third successful U. S.
satellite to circle the earth in a
week. Last Friday, a Thor-Able
rocket shoved a 1'42-pound “pad
dlewheel” satellite into ortnt
which still is radioing back im
portant space information.
The balloon-moon was designed
to show just how much drag the
super-thin atmosphere up to an
altitude of 1,000 miles or so would
have on such a large, light object.
This moon would have been
the first launched by the U. S. vis
ible to the naked eye.
It was the forerunner of other
balloon satellites as big as a
house. These are to be used to set
up a worldwide communications
network, by bouncing radio sig
nals off them.
