Von Braun Predicts U.S.
Will Have Manned Space
Flights Next Year
NEW YORK, Iff)—Dr. Wernher
Von Braun predicted today that
the United States will have a
manned space flight in orbit next
year.
However, he said his predicted
schedule depends on a series of
successful manned ballistic flights
powered by the Redstone rocket.
“I have absolutely no reason to
believe we will not have an or
bital flight in 1961,” he told a
news conference. “I thing we
will.”
He said the first ballistics
flights, involving the firing of
missies in a 200-mile trajectory
at a maximum altitude of 160
miles, are scheduled to begin in
the first quarter of next year.
The orbital flights contemplated
later would involve placing a
manned vehicle in orbit around
the earth.
Alvin the Alligator
Outgrows Air Force
RENO, Nev., OP) — Alvin the
alligator, long the pride of Stead
Air Force Base near here, has
lost one home but found an
other.
Muzzled and stuffed into a
sleeping bag, the 200 - pound
native of Florida was flown to
Mather Air Force Base, Calif.,
for the William Land Zoo in Sac
ramento.
Alvin, 4, was brought to Stead
two years ago for use in the rep
tile display. Thousands of pilots
getting survival training were
shown Alvin and how—if their
plane crashed in alligator coun
try—they could enjoy Alvin for
dinner instead of the other way
around.
“Everybody loved Alviq,” said
an officer at a brief farewell cere
mony. “He was pampered and
petted. But you can’t get in the
same room with him any more.”
ASSISI, Italy, Iff) — The local
Communist party chief (is an
extra in the movie “Francis of
Assisi” being made in the saint’s
native city. He plays a Roman
Catholic monk.
