tainer of 100,000 pounds thrust
Unlike most other large rockets, Atlas fires all three
of her motors from blast-off. It apparently jettisons
the boosters when they are spent. Some hints have
been made that Atlas’ rocket power has been increas-
ed since it entered the flight stage.
It has been tested twice before Tuesday’s success,
once in June and again in September. Convair officials
who have been charged with building Atlas say that
even the two earlier tests were 05 per cent success-
ful, despite the fact that they destroyed the Atlas in

Above all, Dulles said, the

unity, cooperative spirit and mu-
tual trust and confidence of the
alliance.
"All that we have done during
this past week adds up to another
chapter in the waging of peace,”
he declared.

"And, as President Eisenhower
said when he left Parte, what has
happened means that we can now

During a recent 9,000-mile
speaking tour of his state, Mon-
roney said, “I found that peapie
were getting so alarmed over the
siquation that some of them were
afraid to go out on the highways.”
The Oklahoman said he believes
the time has come for the federal
government to tie together all the
scattered safety efforts now under
way and try to reduce the "stag-
gering total of deaths, Injuries and
property losses."
He sold the first thing his pro-
posed commission could do would
be to establish a nationwide, uni-
form system of auto crash report-
if highway construction weak-
nesses were found. Monroney
said, the commission might, ree-
ommend a program to correct
these with the federal govern-
ment paying M per cent of the
coot.
The commission also could draft
and work for adoption of uniform
traffic codes, although the final
say in this field always would be
with local authorities, he said.
Similarly, Monroney said, the
commtoslM's experts might come
up with proposals for new design

Monroney said that from 1903
