U.S. Spy Satellites
Reported Making
Good Progress
WASHINGTON UF»
UJS. offi
cials reported Saturday good pro
gress in the development of sys
tem of spy satellites designed to
detect Russian missile launchings
almost instantly and radio back
warning.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev ne
glected perhaps intentionally, to
mention the U.S. Midas Satellite
System Friday in announcing cre
ation of a new Russian “global
rocket” that he said was able to
avoid U.S. radar warning stations.
At least two experimental Midas
satellites have been sent aloft. One
of them was credited with spotting
a Titan missile only 90 seconds
after the Ttitan took off from Cape
Canaveral, Fla., last Oct. 25.
Other models may have been shot
into polar orbits since then, but the
Air Force has drawn tight secrecy
around the program.
Also cloaked for security reasons
is a related spy in the sky project
called Samos. The Samos satellites |
are designed to take pictures of
military bases in Russian territory
or any other area from hundreds
of miles in space.
Officials said both programs
were moving along without any
serious difficulties. The two spy
satellites may be operational with
in a couple of years.
Military authorities were not
Jolted by Khrushchev’s claim that
Russian scientists have created a
new intercontinental rocket that
they call global.
Observers recalled when Russia
made its first claim to having suc
cessfully tested an intercontinental
missile, it said the rocket could
hit any spot on the globe. That
was more than 4V£ years ago —
on Aug. 26, 1957.
It was suggested Khrushchev Fri
day could have meant a missile
able to travel somewhat over 12,
000 miles, rather than a rocket
built to circle the earth.
A rocket with a range of more
than 12,000 miles could reach about
halfway around the world, which
has a 25,000-mile circumference.
Thus, nearly every point on the
globe would be within its reach,
depending on the direction in
which it was fired.
PRINCESS GRACE IS
RETURNING TO MOVIES
MONTE CARLO, Monaco MB —
Princess Grace — the former Grace
Kelly — is returning to the movies,
the palace of this Riviera princi
pality announced to day.
The announcement said she will
appear in a film directed by Alfred
Hitchcock based on a novel by
British novelist Winston Graham.
The announcement indicated that
the onetime movie queen’s return
to films would be for only one
picture.
During her heyday in Hollywood,
the statuesque blonde appeared in
three Hitchcock films — “Dial M
for Murder,” “Rear Window” and
“To Catch a Thief.”
The announcement said the
Princess would make the film
toward the end of next summer
and she would be back in Monaco
by late November.
She has not appeared in a movie
since her wedding.
Jackie Invited to Lunch
LONDON l/P! — Buckingham
Palace said tonight Mrs. John Ken
nedy has been invited to lunch with
3ueen Elizabeth II March 28. The
wife of the American President
will arrive in London March 26
from Pakistan and leave March 29,
presumably for home.
Millions of Americans day
dream about getting away from
it all and living a life of ease
on a carefree island paradise in
the south seas. This may jolt
them: one of the commonest sur
gical operations in such a para
dise — Samoa — is for peptic
ulcers.

Gamhell News
By Clarence Irrigoo
Winter 1962
The people called Eskimos were
used to isolation before the white
man reached the shores of the
Eskimoland. Even the white man
himself was used to it, because early
missionaries and other white set
[ tiers in this north country lived 12
months at a time in these most
remote villages without any con
tact with the outside world. Is this ;
still true today? Maybe not.
What is needed most for Gam- \
bell airfield right now is snow re- ,
moval equipment. Just imagine men \
shoveling snow 24 inches deep or >
more on the 4,000 foot runway. !
They did it but for many days, but ,
gave it up. 1
The local store is almost out of I
fuel again this month. Local resi- *
dents tried to secure fuel oil i
through Lomens last year but '
dropped it when BIA told Lomens l
that the North Star was going to *
heavily stock Gambell store with A
fuel that following summer. What _
has been promised was not “too
heavy.” The Eskimo used to live
without it. Where did he learn to
use it?
Two skin boats made a quick
trip from Savoonga to Gambell
early this month, taking advantage
of warm weather and open water
and south winds which prevailed
for 2 Yi months this year. Rachael
Sperry the new nurse for two
villages returned with them the
same day. It was learned that boat
trips were made to Northeast Cape
also, bringing back either fuel oil
or gasoline.
Attention all merchants: When
that or this bill is unpaid for weeks
or even months, do this—call Wien
Airlines—and ask them if they had
made a trip to Gambell lately. The
chances are that the answer will
be “negative.”
