Show Page Four FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1958 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Show to Detail Space Conquest HE MADE THE NEEDLE-HOSE- D ROCKET ODSOLETE mwiiii iinnn'nirniMriMMwrnrrmrrirTnmTTTTiiiiir mm ill in mrf Missile flight expert H. Julian Allen, who developed the blunt-nose- d missile, stands before an Ames Aeronautical Laboratory wind tunnel at Moffatt Field, Calif. Allen will explain his missle on a TV show. With the United States and Russia on billion dollar missile-makin- g binges man's conquest of space is moving along as fast as his cleverness can carry him. One of America's brightest hy-personic flight (speeds over 3000 mph) experts has given this country's missile effort a power-ful forward thrust with an idea that has rendered the needle-nose- d rocket obsolete. Distinguished flight scientist H. Julian Allen of the National Ad-visory Commitete for Aeronau-tics and the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory has suggested and then proved that a blunt nosed object could re-ent- er the earth's atmosphere without burning it-self up in the ensuing friction. For years, aerodynamicists have reasoned that to minimize aerodynamic drag on a projectile re-enteri- ng the thick atmosphere from outer space, a sharp needle nose would be essenial. Allen demonstrated first on the draw-ing board and then with wind tunnels and finally in space it-self that the pat conception was wrong. While his blunt shaped missile builds up incredible temperature through friction when contacting the atmosphere, the stub nose creates a wide angle shock wave which carries off much of the heat, keeping the temperature of the object's nose cone within ac-ceptable limits. This missile innovation and other highly significant scientific accomplishments of the man who solved a major problem of bal-listic missilemen will be one of the principal subjects of "Con-quest," presented Sunday, Jan. 19 on Channel 5 at 4 p.m. The new science show will de-liver an exclusive report on Al-len, chief of the high speed re-search division. Numbered in his contributions to our understanding of airflow around missiles and airplanes is now well known theory for pre-dicting pressures on objects trav-eling at supersonic speeds.

Volume 37 Number 34 Advisory Committee Of Democrats Records Progress After completing two and a half years of concentrated work the Advisory Commitee on Po-litical Organization to the Demo-cratic National Committee was able this week to review with satisfaction the operational as-pects of more than a dozen of its major recommendations. Among the basic major recom-mendations now operational are the establishment of a field serv-ice program, the appointment of a deputy chairman in charge of political organization, and the employment of five regional rep-resentatives. The adoption of the official pre-cinct wardens training program which now is in progress in more than a dozen states; clearly de-fined progress in party fund rais-ing through use of a sustaining fund plan and fund drives for small contributors, and the build-ing of a national registration drive for 1959. Many other recommendations regarding the production, distri-bution and use of political ma-terials and the initiation of spe-cial political techniques also have been adopted and putfS p effect by the Democratic Ji-tion- al Committee. But the Advisory Committee on Political Organization feels there is still much to be done, said Democratic National Chair-man Paul Butler. In December it tackled a new set of problems in the area of building party organization, im-proving communications and de-veloping new and better cam-paign procedures. The Committee is made up of a representative cross section of Democratic Party workers from 30 states appointed by Chairman Butler. It includes housewives, labor executives, college profes-sors, the administrative assist-ants of elected officials, lawyers, businessmen, and party offifVy ranging from precinct worVJis to county chairmen to several state chairmen and even an Its meetings always involve a lively exchange of views, in-variably beginning with break-fast sessions and ending - with coffee sessions near midnight. Chairman of the Committee, Neil Staebler, State Chairman of Michigan, has kept the commit-tee on a regular schedule of three meetings a year plus a variety of sub committee meetings and fre-quent exchanges of correspond-ence among members. o Mr. Keddinflon's Labor of Love (Continued from Page 1) attended to many other details of such an operation. Because of the county clerk's devotion to his job the residents of Salt Lake County have been given a concise, easy to under-stand voting district setup. And it cost them virtually nothing. Let's Observe Wildlife Week Utahns, who make such extensive use of their vast outdoor recreation lands, should take part in the annual observance of National Wildlife Week. "Protection of Public Lands" is the theme for the annual observance. Traditionally charted for the week in which the vernal equinox, or first day of spring occurs, this year" s observance is slated for March 16-2- 2. Dedicated to the preservation, advanced management and a greater public understanding of the important fish and game resources of the American way of life, the weekly affair is spon-sored each year by the National Wildlife Federation and its, state affiliates. In Utah, the Week will be sponsored by the State Wildlife Federation and its member clubs. Need for such an observance to call public attention to the value and proper management of wildlife was first recognized 20 years ago. In 1938 the first National Wildlife Week was decreed by Presidential proclamation. Since that time, theme and observance of the week has been under direction of the National Wildlife Federation. Each year an important problem concerning conservation needs has been brought to the nation's attention through this program. This year in the fac tof increased demands by the American sportsmen for more recreational facilities, the theme to be highlighted is indeed timely. The message telling what is happening and what can be done to help will be carried to all walks of life during this week. The story will be told through press, radio, TV, talks to schools and organizations and by picture and window displays as it is carried forward on both a state and local basis. Ticklers By George i !

United Fund Readies Meeting The third annual meeting of the Salt Lake Area United Fund is scheduled on Monday, Jan. 20. The luncheon meeting will be held at the Newhouse Hotel at 12:15 p.m. The plaques for "fair share" participation will be awarded, an interesting program in which all will participate in an evalu-ation of the fund and its work will be presented. The new board members will be announced and the final report of the Fund's achievements of the past year will be given. President Arnold invites and encourages all persons who con-tributed to the 1957 campaign to attend this luncheon meeting. Reservations may be obtained by calling the United Fund office, EM 11, no later than Friday, January 17. uv Fish Game Board Notes Arrests Dip Arrests for fish and game law violations in Utah last year show a decrease over 1956, according to figures by the department of fish and game. Total amount of fines imposed as well as the average fine for each case processed by the courts shows an increase over the pre-vious year. Court costs of $7,072.55 de-ducted from the total actual fines assessed by the courts leave a net of $22,161 returned to the state for deposit in the fish and game fund for 1957. Average charge of the court per case pro-cessed was $4.26. The report further shows ar-rests were made for violations of 56 different sections of the fish and game code. Cumulative reports for 1956 show only 58 sections being violated. i One bright spot in the arrest report picture was the reduction in number of violations for fail-ure to tag or properly tag deer. Though this violation once again led the arrest parade only 353 cases were listed in 1957 at op-posed to 601 cases processed in 1956. The arrest report lists the next greatest number of violations as 116 for fishing without a li-cense. Hunting in closed areas, 93; snooting migratory birds be-fore andor after hours, 83; hunting migratory birds with unplugged gun, 64; failure to display license, 61; and over limits of fish, 60, followed in that order.
