rfThe Absent-Minded Professor”
Will Be Featured at Nomerama
Movie makers have reached a
dilemma. In this day of scientific
marvels it is getting harder to
dream up imaginary wonders for
the screen. But Walt Disney some
how manages to stay ahead of
everybody. He always has a new
trick or two. And just to prove that
there are plenty more where those
came from, he has loaded his off
beat comedy called “The Absent
Minded Professor” with wild and
gleeful surprises.
Fred MacMurray plays the title
role of a college science teacher in
Walt’s spoof on modem technology.
A glimpse on the set found Fred j
rushing around his homemade lab,
trying a last-minute experiment
before dashing off to get married.
“Square root E, minus C, Alpha
G. Here comes the bride, ta turn
tee tee,” he sing happily. His
dog Charlie cocks an appreciative
ear.
“Now we’re cooking! We may be
in business after all . . Fred con
tinues, excitedly turning valves and
pushing switches on the compli
cated apparatus. Suddenly it starts
to throw sparks. Charlie backs off.
Then the whole lab blows up.
“And that’s how f lubber is
bom,” Fred explains.
’’The Absent-Minded Professor”
will be shown at the Nomerama
Theater Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday.

NASA OFFICIALS SULK
CAUSE OF EXPLOSION
CAPE CANAVERAL Uto — Radio
signals and telescopic camera films
were analyzed today by technicians
seeking the cause of the inflight ex
plosion of the first Centaur high
energy space rocket.
The study was watched closely
by Project Mercury officials for
any clue which might force a de
lay of the orbital space flight of
Astronaut Malcolm Scott Carpenter,
scheduled for May 17.
The 105-foot Centaur blew apart
30,000 feet above the Atlantic
Ocean 55 seconds after its was
fired on its maiden flight yester
day.
The spectacular failure dealt a
severe blow to U.S. plans to de
velop the rocket as a booster for
sending heavyweight payloads into
earth orbit and to the moon, Mars
and Venus.
Mercury officials were concern- |
ed lest the trouble be traced to j
the Centaur’s Atlas first stage.
There were indications that the
Atlas was at fault.
A similar Atlas missile is on a j
launching pad here being prepared
to loft Carpenter into space on a
three-orbit mission similar to that
made by Lt. Col. John H. Glenn
Jr. on Feb. 20. , , ^
The Atlas is a complex vehicle
with more than 300,000 moving
parts. Analysis of the data may
take two or three days.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration had hoped
for a successful first flight of the
Centaur to help reduce nearly a
year of frustrating delays in launch
ing the rocket. The main prob
lem stems from developing high
energy liquid hydrogen as a pro
pellent for the second stage.
Controlling this tridry, super
cold fuel, which must be kept at
a tempo ature of 423 degrees below
'mnrSn%^'<r:
to Centaur’s extra musde.
Once harnessed, liquid hydrogen
will produce 40 per cent greater
thrust per pound of fuel than chem
ical fuels used on the present
rockets like the Atlas.
Gone. Bui Not Forgotten
DIXON, m. UP) — A freshly dug
grave near the gate of Oakwood
Cemetery aroused the curiosity of
cemetery superintendent Edward
Slain.
The wooden headstone read:
“Reggie Allen, Born Jan. 28, 1962.
Died April 29, 1962. We Didn’t
Have Him Very Long.'*
Slain had the grave dug up to
investigate. The deceased was a
pigeon.
Even in captivity die racoon
won’t eat meat until he has first
washed it in water.

Polaris - Firing
Sub LaFayette
GROTON, Conn. — Mrs. John
F. Kennedy smiled, swung with a
two-handed grip — and christened
America’s heaviest submarine, the
Polaris-firing LaFayette, with
champagne yesterday.
The First Lady swung hard, the
bottle smashed across the bunting
decked vessel’s nose, a klaxon
horn sounded, and the gigantic
LaFayette slid into the Thames
River.
As the nuclear-powered sub
marine touched the water, Mrs.
Kennedy’s face turned serious and
she put her hand to her chin,
almost with a look of awe.
Earlier, when she arrived at the
launching platform, Mrs. Kennedy
smiled and waved to members of
the crew of the LaFayette, this
country’s 11th nuclear-powered,
ballistic missile submarine.
She was clad in a lime-colored
coat and matching hat. The
weather was chilly and gray with
a threat of rain.
She was flanked by Welfare Sec
retary Abraham Ribicoff, a former
Connecticut governor, and Roger
Lewis, chairman of the Board of
General Dynamics Corp., builders
of the LaFayette, when she ar
rived.
Secretary of the Navy Fred
Korth, the main speaker, described
the ship as a symbol of alliance
between France and the United
States. %
Outside the gates of the plant
stood 50 to 75 pacifists, in a silent
protest against the launching.
“Jackie, si, Polaris, no,” said one
of the placards. Mrs. Kennedy had
no direct contact with the paci
j fists.
[ Mrs, Kennedy was the first
presidents wife to chmten a
Polaris submarine —■ and the La
Fayette was the first ship to be
First “First Lady of the United
States” to become a mother was
Frances Folsom Cleveland, wife of
President Grover Cleveland. Her
second child, Esther Cleveland was
bom in the White House on Sept.
9, 1893.
