22 Jet Rockets
AccidentaRy Set Of
While On Ground
MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich., MV—
A jet plane’s 22 deadly rockets
shot over a two-mile area Thurs
day, injuring three Air Force men
and endangering residents near
Selfridge Air Force Base.
Two hours after the missiles
were accidentally ejected from an
F86D Sabrejct on the ground at
the base, Macomb County Sheriff
Harley Ensign reported “all the
rockets have been accounted for.”
One of the rockets hit a civilian
home a mile from the base, nar
rowly missing a baby’s crib. An
other shot through a building on
the field, injuring two airmen
who were inside.
Another airman standing at the
rear of the plane suffered first
and second degree burns from the
heat of the rocket discharge.
Sheriff Ensign said two of the
rockets exploded. One set a small
fire to the home of Jack Depew.
A fragment hit a window six
inches from the crib of a baby
who had been removed minutes
before.
However, Selfridge officials said
none of the rockets exploded.
They said damage was caused toy
force of the supersonic speed at
which the missiles travel. The
rockets carry a 75 millimeter war
head.

Economic Atomic
Power Reactors
Still 5-15 Years Off
WASHINGTON, UFi—'The Atomic
Energy Commission says econom
ically feasible power production
from atomic reactors is still 5 to
15 years off.
“The day of low-cost power i%
not here,” the House Appropria
tions Committee was told by Louis
H. Roddis, chief of the power re
actor division of the AEC, in tes
timony made public yesterday.
The AEC is now working with
the Rural Electrification Admin
istration on a program jointly fi
nanced by the AEC and farmer
owned cooperatives to establish
experimental atom-produced elec
tric power.
Three rural cooperatives, three
municipalities and the University
of Florida have applied for small
scale nuclear power plants under
the commission’s experimental
program instituted last September.
One of the applicants is the
Chugach Electric Assn., Anchor
age, for a sodium-cooled heavy
water moderated reaction; com
pletion date mid-1961.
The cost is estimated at $735
per kilowatt of power or a total
of $7,350,000.
Because of the high production
costs, atomic reactors still are re
garded as . “prestige” installations
by the REA.

BUCYRUS-ERIE Drills
Blast Hole—Water well—Prospecting
There’s money to be saved by using
' modern Bucyrus-Erie Drills. In fact,
costs are frequently lowered from 30% to
50%. The exclusive Bucyrus-Erie shock
absorber increases speed of penetration even
in difficult formations. More snap in the
drilling action gives more shattering blows.
More blows per minute mean more footage per shift. Faster
and easier moves and set-ups give more drilling time. Larger,
faster drilled holes provide better fragmentation. And longer
rope life plus other operating and maintenance economies
