Young Gob Wants
To Make Rockets
SEATTLE, (/P) — Military Sea
Transport ships are no place for
young crew members to conduct
rocket experiments. That’s what
navy intelligence officers and the
FBI told a 19-year-old crew mem
ber of the Gen. M. M. Patrick be
fore clearing him and returning
him to duty as a wiper.
A recent gangplank search of
the youth as he went aboard
showed he carried in a bundle:
“Saltpeter, sulphur and cnar
coal which, if mixed together,
would form black powder, highly
explosive.”
The navy said there was a metal
tube and “the nose of an old pro
jectile” in the package, too. After
clearing him for duty he was ad
vised.
“You are hereby notified that it
would be illegal for you to con
duct model rocket experiments
from the deck of a Military Sea
Transport.” j
the new set-up.
Senator Lodge tR.-Mass.),. who
just finished a tour of duty as a
United Nations delegate, told a re
porter in advance of the meeting
be intended to question Acheson
closely about any agreements that
may have been made at Brussels:
to send additional foot soldiers
to Europe..
Lodge, a former foreign rela
tions committeeman, said he also
wants to know what, if any, ar
rangements have been made to re
place some of the U. S. forces
fighting in Korea with those of
other member sof the U. N.
