An interested group of wives,
husbands and youngsters of
personnel of the Safeguard System Evaluation Agency turned
out on the morning of August
12 to view the last Sprint missile firing from White Sands
Missile Range.
From the John F. Kennedy
Parade Field viewing stands,
the group listened intently as
the countdown came through
a loud-speaker system. · As
the count progressed, their
eyes strained eastward into the
bright morning sky toward a
point 10 miles distant, where
Captain Ralph K. Baker had
assured them the launch area
was located.
At 9:07 a.rn., there was a
subdued "swoosh" and the
Sprint missile went hurtling
through the atmosphere, leaving
behing a trail not unlike a
cornet's wake.
Youngsters still rubbing the
sleep from their eyes no doubt
missed some of the Sprint flight.
For, if fired simultaneously
with a machine gun bullet, the
Sprint would overtake and pass
the bullet in less than three
seconds. The audience had heen
forewarned, however, that the
missile would travel a mile
in the time it took their hearts
to beat twice.
Starting at 8 a.m. at the
invitation of SAFSEA, the
audience had viewed a display
and listened with interest to an
unclassified briefing in the Post
Theater. A display of Sprint
components and pictures had
been arranged in the theater

They are dangerous
Pretty nine-year-old Juanita Lawton came running to her
m?ther screaming hysterically, "I'm blind, I'm blind," Just
mmu~es be~or~ she and a young friend had been playing
happily - picking c;,part an apparently harmless golf ball
They had been peeling back the shell in order to see the littl~
black center.
"The next thing I knew she was running to me looking as
though someone had thrown a gallon of white paint over her
from head to toe," said Mrs. Juanita Lawton of Jeffersonville
Ind. "She could not see. She was saying that a golf ball ble~

'
thought, "Golf balls don't blow up."
But golf b~ll cores do blow up, dangerously and unexpectedly.
They can blmd a person, according to the National Society for
the Prevention of Blindness.
Many manufacturers are marketing golf halls containing
a core made of dangerous chemicals packed under tremendous
?Otentially explosive pressure, of up to 2,500 pounds per squar~
mch.
In little Juanita Lawton's case, the impact was so powerful
that fragments of the golf ball became embedded in her right
~yeball. It was her mother's quick action in bathing her eyes
m warm water and rushing her to a hospital where surgery
was performed that saved the child's sight. All is not well
h~wever; ~u:inita's eyeball_ is. permanently damaged because:
with a child s natural curiosity, she and a young friend tried
to probe the center of the innocent-looking golf ball.
~ome of the.balls ~eing manufactured todaycontainsulphuric
acid, lead _oxide, zmc sulphide, ethylene, sodium hydroxide,
and a variety of less dangerous oils, made harmful by the
pressure under which they sit in the ball.
Reputable American manufacturers of expensive golf balls
in most cases, used water at the core, surrounded by a very
deep layer of rubber winding similar to a very long rubber
band wound over and over, and finally a strong outer shell.
Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing which of the balls
are safe and well-made. It is the cheaper balls that cut down
on the rubber winding and have a thin outer shell and chemical
core that represent the real hazard.
According to the U.s. Golf Association there are no standards
of control for golf balls with regard to the core substance and
rubber winding.
Oth~r cases of ~xploding golf balls have been brought to the
attention of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness
Since the danger is real, there sh:mld be a marketing re~
quirement - or at least a "danger' or "caution' sign be

For school safety
_Before l.ong about 50 million children across the country
will be gomg back to school and exposing themselves to the
usual traffic hazards.
safety experts offer these suggestions to parents and students for a safer school year:
~ School yards will be teeming with shouting and racing
children _who do not watch where they are going. Be prepared
for a child to dash suddenly into the street. Be ready for the
unexpected whenever you see a group of children near the street
* If children walk to school, caution them to take the safest
route - to cross streets only where they are monitored by
patrolmen or only at marked crosswalks. If they must walk
along a road without a sidewalk, they should walk on the left
side, facing traffic.
* Children should understand that they are never to accept
gifts or rides from strangers.
* Bicycles should be walked across busy streets in marked
c~osswalks or at intersections. Before permitting them to ride
bicycles to school, be sure your children can handle their
bikes with skill, and know and observe bicycle regulations

Recognize rank
Rank has always been a big part of the Army and still is
always been a
sleeve. Today
this is the case only when he is wearing certain uniforms
. Effective July l, 1969, the Army made mandatory the wear:
mg of the subdued insignias on the Class D, or work uniform.
With the insignias no longer worn on the sleeve ~ne has to
get used to looking on the cap or collar areas to note' a soldier's
grade,
This is the problem; civilian and Army personnel unaware
of this insignia change are still looking in the wrong place.
What_ happens is _having, for example, a sergeant with nothing
on his sleeve bemg called a private. This is insulting to the
sergeant and embarrassing to the one who addressed him as
such.
.The purpose of this editorial is to bring to your attention
this uniform change and remind all WSMR personnel that a
man's rank in the Army should be respected. For many enlisted men it took s_e~eral years of hard work to make grade,
and the only recognition may be simply someone addressing
them properly.
Subdued insignias are worn on the field and work uniforms
including the field jacket, parka, combat uniform cotton sateen
utility ~niform, wo.ol shirt, OG 108, utility cap,'pile field cap
an_d white work uniforms. The regular colored insignias are
shll worn on the s leeves of the Army khaki uniform tan
uniform and the green uniform.
'
Remember, look for .the subdued insignias and recognize
the man wearing them.

No matter where you are
stationed, you can broaden your
education. There are historical
places to visit, people to meet,
and, possibly, a new language
to speak.
How much are you learning
from the area in which you are
stationed?
Whether in this country or
overseas, almost every area
has points of scenic or historical interest. Visiting them
can make your tour of duty
more enjoyable.
People of the area to which
you are assigned can help you
gain greater understanding of
the area, culture and customs.
And as America's ambassadors
,in uniform, getting to know
and understand people of a
foreign country will not only
make your tour of duty more
interesting, but will help our
nation as well.
If you are stationed in the
United States, there are unlimited activities to occupy your
off-duty time. Most areas have
museums, universities, concerts, sporting events and stage
productions that furnish entertainment all year round.
With few exceptions, service-
men and women have more
opportunity to travel and visit
new places than any other segment of our population. Millions
of people spend billions of dollars each year to travel to the
far corners of our own country
and the world, squeezing into
two or three weeks' vacation
many of the sights and activities
we too often take for granted
or ignore.
Get the most out of your time
in the armed forces. Take full
advantage of every opportunity
you have to see and learn more
about your own country and the
places where you are stationed
around the world. (AFPS)

The following article is taken
from "3 Minutes a Day," by
· James Keller:
AS THE TWIG IS BENT
A child's general direction
toward good or evil is often
indicated long before he ever
sets foot in school, according
to a survey in Washington, D.C.
The results of the 5-year
study were given additional
weight by the fact that they
were expected to prove something far different.
The experiment took 37 first
graders from family surroundings conducive to delinquency and provided them with
the best social welfare and
health services for them and
their families. At the end of
the period the incidence of
delinquency was higher for them
than for another group that had
not received special help.
The conclusion was that preschool training in the home and
a strong family life tended to
outweigh the efforts made later
in life.
Pre - school children are·
wholly
dependent on their
parents for nourishment, education and training in God's
law.
Do all in your power
to help fathers :L1d mothers
shoulder their responsibilities.
"By his inclinations a child
is known, if his works be clean
and right. " - (Proverbs 20:11).

in loving and directing their
children.''

MY SIDE OF THE MOUN TAIN (G). The story of a boy
who dreams of leaving civilization to live all alone in the
wilderness just to do his thing!
WSMRites get
invitation from
Los Olmos Ranch
Jack Edwards, owner -manager of the Los Olmos Guest
Ranch at Glenwood, N.M., has
issued an invitation to White
Sands Missile Range military
and civilian employes to visit
his place of business.
Mr. Edwards points out that
his ranch is located just 65
miles northwest of Silver City
on U.S. 180 at Glenwood, a
small western town. The guest
ranch is surrounded by the
Mogollon Mountains, four miles
from the Gila Wilderness where
peaks reach 11,000 feet.
Los Olmos, near the famous
Cat Walk and historic American Indian ruins, has accommodations for 30 guests and
is open all year. It also features year - round fishing,
swimming in season,
pack
trips and horseback riding with
a trained guide.
The lodge also features a
spacious dining room, El Pocito bar and a 3,000-foot air
strip. (Pd. Adv.)
Army develops
new engine to
cut pollution
To combat automotive air
pollution, the U. s. Army' s
Tank-Automotive Command
(T AC 0 M) has developed the
HYBRID engine.
The new engine controls com bustion within the cylinder itself
and uses no "add-on" pollution
control devices.
Unlike the conventional spark
ignition engine which uses a
carburetor to deliver the proper
air-fuel mixture to the cylinder,
HYBRID features a fuel injection
system similar to that used on a
diesel engine.
Fuel injectors at each cylinder inject precisely the amount
of fuel needed to operate the
engine at any given horsepower
output requirement. This re sults in a lower combustion
air - f u el mixture and lower
exhaust emissions at low and
intermediate engine loads tha n
can be achieved by the same
engine equipped with a carburetor.
Army laboratory engineers
point out that the HYBRID concept also cuts fuel costs 20 to
40 percent. (ANF)
Induction calls
to be reduced
Draft calls will average less
than 10,000 per month for the
balance of calendar year 1970compared to a heretofore 1970
monthly average of 15, 900 according to the Department
of Defense.
A total of 39,000 are scheduled to be called during September through December, with
all inductees going to the Army.
Progress of Vietnamization
and the reduction of U.S. troops
in the Republic of Vietnam make
it possible to announce draft
calls for four months at one
time rather than the usual

Vengeance takes over the war fare of opposed forces hired

obsession to annihilate each
other degenerates into suicidal
combat. Alex Cord portrays
an American whose paid-off
betrayal of a platoon of British
guerrillas triggers a death-duel
with their leader, Stanley
Baker. Honor Blackman plays
the wife of Baker's commandant, first repelled by his dedication to revenge , then dr awn ,..
to it and destroyed by her love ~
for Baker. Richard Attenborough portrays her husband,
the general behind the scene.
A brutal ending to this drama
builds in suspense as each victim awaits The Last Grenade.
WEDNESDAY
A BULLET FOR PRETTY
BOY (GP). Charles Arthur
Floyd (Fabian Forte) was one
of America's most dreaded
killers and bank robbers, in
the notorious thirties. Floyd
parlayed a little ambition and
a lot of ammunition into a
successful career in the bank
robbing business. Unfortunately, he was caught in a
corporate merger between the
Oklahoma State Police and a
posse of Federal officers and
was foreclosed on with a ,45
soft nosed slug. The girls who
loved him and the men who
hunted him called him Pretty
Boy. Some of them cried at
his funeral.

Heston), who has disappeared.
Brent's mission: locate Taylor
and bring him home. But shortly after Br ent's departure the
U.S. is devastated by a series
of nuclear attacks, Taylor's
spacecraft crashlands, and he
is taken into custody by armed
gorilla soldiers who bring him
to the city which ser ves as
capital of their all-simian society.

University. After serving in
Korea as a Field Artillery officer, Mr. Baker continued his
education at Purdue University,
where
he completed the
requirements for a master's
degree in engineering sciences.
He has also been a candidate
for a Ph. D in physics at New
Mexico State University.
Mr. Baker came to WSMR
in 1958 and joined the NikeZeus team as a missile system
analyst. He was later made
chief er.gineer with the NikeZeus Engineering Service Test
Group at Kwajalein Island.
From 1964, Mr. Baker has
served
with
Nike-X
ESTO, Sensea and Safsea as
missile engineer and physical
scientist.
When his spare time is not
devoted to telling Will Rogers·
anecdotes, Mr. Baker has instructed in differential and
integral calculus and statistics
at New Mexico State University.
Roland C, Schramm was cited
for contributing exceptionally
creative and successful efforts
to the Safsea evaluation mission. His endeavors included
an interpretive simulator of
the Tactical Data Processor,
a
software
instrumentation technique, and the mathematical basis for representing
system reliability in terms of
a state space representation.
All of these added to the
capability for a confidence estimate of system performance.
Mr. Schramm is a native
of Payson, Utah, and in 1951
received his bachelor's degree
in physics from Brigham Young
University. He first came to
WSMR in 1954 as a physicist
with the Flight Determination
Laboratory.
In 1959, he began work as a
specialist on rocket projects
with specific emphasis on the
Nike-Zeus. From 1961to1965,
as senior system analyst, he
was responsible for all NikeZeus simulation and evaluation
performed in the Flight Simulation Laboratory.
He was then made chief of the
Nike-Zeus project at Kwajalein
where he was responsible for
all aspects of the l\ike-Zeus
firing program at Kwajalein.
On returning to WSMR in
1967, Mr. Schramm joined the

Of the 58,000 men and women
who took training under theG.I.
Bill while still in uniform last
semester almost half (46 per
cent) were members of the
Air Force, the Veterans Administration said this week.
Soldiers edged out Sailors
for second place (26 to 20
per cent) and the rest were
Marines (6 per cent) and Coast
Guard (2 per cent).
The Air Force rate of participation was also about twice
as high as that of the Army
or Navy, the VA added.
Fewer than one in 10 enrollees was able to take fulltime training. Three out of
five of the total were enrolled
in correspondence courses.
Also about 759,000 veterans
took training under the G.I.
Bill last semester.

VA announces
pay increases
for v eterans
The Veterans Administration
reported that a bill the Pr esident signed August 12 will increase monthly compensation
payments for most of two
million veterans who incurred
disabilities during military
service.
Administrator of Veterans
Affairs Donald E. Johnson said
the eightto 12 percent incr eases
will be retroactive to July 1.
He said veterans will receive
their regular monthly checks
for August on Sept. 1, computed
at the old rate. Later, in early
September, most veterans will
receive another check which
will reflect the retroactive increases for July and August.
The following month - on Oct.
l - regular monthly checks
will include the incerases.
Johnson stressed that since
the increased payments are
automatic, veterans need not
contact the VA to receive them.
He said the 12 percent increase goes to totally disabled
veter ans.
Compensation to veter ans
with a 100 per cent disability
rating will be raised fr om $400
to $450 a month.
Those with a 90 percent
rating will be incr eased fro m
$226 to $250 a month; 80 percent disability, $201 to $223;
70 percent, $1 74 to $193; 60
percent, $147 to $163, and 50
percent, $122 to $135.
The additional allowances for
dependents of veterans r ated
50 percent or more a lso are
being increased.
Other increases are as fol lows : 40 percent, $89 to $96;
30 per cent, $65 to $70; 20
percent, $43 to $46; and 10
percent, $23 to $25 a month.

The
Aerobee-Hi (later
renamed the Aerobee-150), designed and built by AerojetGeneral Corp. of Azusa, Calif.,
was the largest of the rockets
used by the United States during
the International Geophysical
Year, 1957-58. It made direct
scientific measurements in the
upper atmosphere.
A JATO-type solid propellant
booster was used to assist the
missile at the start of flight,
and fell free after about three
seconds. Propelled then by a
4,000 -pound-thrust
liquid
rocket motor, the Aerobee - Hi
continued with a haU-ton fuel
load. This was red fuming nitric
acid (RFNA) and a mixture of
aniline and alcohol injected into
the combustion chamber by
helium gas under pressure.
To double the altitude of the
1957 Aerobee-Hi, two design
changes were incorporated, A
new type of stainless steel was
used for added structural efficiency 1 and a supply of 30
percent more liquid propellant
was added. The Navy version
of the Aerobee-Hi was a
completely
pressure-sealed
unit, in order to prevent contamination of the upper atmosphere by rocket gases that might
affect the accuracy of the
measuring inscientific
