headquarters reported today the
ship from which experimental
rocket firing will be held in the
gulf of Alaska will visit Van
couver, B.C. next Sunday.
The ship is the USS Norton
Sound. It is en route from Port
Hueneme, Calif.
The navy has announced that
one or more high altitude sound
ing rockets will be fired from the
ship’s after-deck in the north.
It is described as part of the
navy’s cosmic ray research pro
gram. Recording devices are an
important part of the experimen
tal equipment.

netic field and the activity of cos
mic ray particles in that region.
While the ship is stopped in
Vancouver, Capt. John Quinn,
