America Is in High Gear/
Visit to Canaveral Proves
BY PETER F.DSO.V
XEA Washington Correspondent
/■•APE CANAVFRAL, Fla.—(NEA)—The half dozen launchings
4 scheduled at the Air Force 'nissile test center here for the last
yveek in Match give evidence of the stepped-up scale of America's
spcee progiam.
Iasttd for countdown are an Air Force Intercontinental Atlas, an
Army Jupiter C with Explorer III satellite, an Air Force inter-
mediate range Thor, two Bomarcs, a Snark and miscellaneous
Matadors. No date has yet been set for the Navy's next Vanguard
tiring with satellite.
A two-day tour of installations at Patrick Air Force Base and its
auxiliary installations 18 miles to the north ou the cape, shows
whot a big business it has become.
Government and missile contractors have 400 million dollars
inve-ted here. Its operational budget is close tu iOU millions _
year—and it is growing.
THE BASE NOW HAS 16,000 personnel—military, Civil Service
and civilian contractor. The tiguie will be Iti.ooo in a year
The base operates 17 hours a day. C'oiitiactor:. are allowed all
the overtime they need.
"Hundreds"—the exact number isn't revt-aied—but literally
hundreds ot misfiles have oeen tired here since the base was opened
in 195U as a joint proving ground lor the three services. Its 5.0UU-
mile range is now extended to Ascension Island in the Souui
Atlantic.
The test center has a normal firing routine of a missile a day.
It has actually tiled three in one day
The three launching areas on the two ocean-front sides of the
triangular cape no* have 20 launching pads. There it room to build
more as needed.
Each complex—launching platform, gantry service towers (as
high as 1 ~ s11jiy buildings and contiol blockhouse—repnesenta a
cost of up to fuUl million UolJats dpiete.
THESE ASE FOR MISSILES launched from the ground Harbor
facilities where the Navv's Polaris missile can be tested are iiu
under construction.
A satellite to orbit north and south around the poles could not be
launched here ulidei present giound kalety rules. Mis: lies U> reach
the inoon might be difficult tu launch trom the Cape because oi
earth relation factors.
bui the tirst of everything else wouid probably have to be tested
here, says the base commander. Maj. Ueu. Donald N. Vates.
PUBLIC MlS< ONCEPTIONS have grown up about what goes
on here, General Yates believes. Test brings that explode seeru uj
get the most publicity. This gives the whole U.S. missile mokiuiu
a black eye.
The te-t center considers a launching successful if it weid:. the
scientific data desired—even if the missile blows up. Often th^e
data are obtained in the tirst few seconds or minutes oi rtichi
Another factor frequently forgotten is that these are reseat (ft
missiles. They are not operational weapons suitable for combat u ,e
When a missile is delivered here for testing, it has to be uiodiiVu
Instead of carrying a warhead, it is loaded with an equivalent
weight of complicated electronic gear. This is what costs niuth
and take^ so much time to ready.
Missiles are not considered operational until they have been
fully tested by the builder and aie ready to turn over to troops
for training and tiring in the field Ot some 3a U.S. missiles now
under development not more than half a do/cn in the first tauuiy
can be considered fully operational.

WIIITF.HOISK i.f — Hobby
Moore, a liij'Ji school junior, lias
used his science courses lo turn a
neat profit.
Tlie 17-year-old looking for a way
to profit from his knowledge and
interest in science, founded and
built the Moore Charcoal Co. last
summer.
He parlayed capital from t h e
sale of a horse and saddle into a
i^oing business.
Last year the honor student sup-
plied stores in 15 East Texas towns
and cities.
It will he better this year, he
believes.- Bobby has been setting
ready for the coming outdoor bar-
becue season all winter and now
is equipped lo turn out 5,000 pounds
of chunk anil briquette charcoal
a day.
Bobby admits it was downright
hard to get started.
before beginning h i s charcoal
project, the youth considered fertil-
izers, but abandoned that as re-
quiring too much capital. Also,
charcoal materials were nearby in
form of oak and pine trees.
His first attempts at producing
charcoal ended with two cords of
what he called the "finest oak
ashes in the world."
He then wrote his congressman
and the Librae)' °f Congress lor
pamphlets on charcoal methods. He
also began studying all of the sourc-
es of Information he could find.
Thus fortified vv.th new know-
ledge in addition to what he had
learned in high school science. Bob-
by built his first successful kiln of
concrete blocks, adding homemade
! conveyors, rotary screens, miser?-.
I dryers, bins and bagging devices.
■ all built from old oil drums ami
; other discarded equipment eitlic:
given him or purchased for a u-v.
I dollars.
And as last year's boom progress
ed. Bobby added a briquettiin:
machine to shape the charcoal into
the convenient si/e and shape pre
ferred by tnanv customers.
This equipment normally would
cost thousands of dollars. Howei
er. a few more oil drums, some ti
her glass lor linings, a second
hand boiler purchased for $50 and ,i
discarded feed grinder obtained I. i
Sit) was all that Bobby needed to
get briquettes ou the market
With this summer's planned ex-
pansion. Bobby added two other
students ou his payroll
