adopted a number-coding system
to replace bands of color which
are faded by intense heat neces

New U.S. Satellites Will
Snoop Out Any Atomic
Tests In Outer Space
WASHINGTON W—‘The United
States will launch the first of a
series of satellites within the next
two months designed for detec
tion of secret nuclear test millions
of miles out in space.
Secretary of Defense Robert S.
McNamara told about it Tuesday
during his testimony supporting
ratification of the nuclear test-ban
treaty.
He said, “As a practical matter,
illegal clandestine testing in deep
space is not a reasonable propo
sition for the Soviet Union, and. in
any event, it's one against which
we can protect ourselves.”
“Megaton weapons tests, equi
valent to a million tons of TNT or
more, would have to be conducted
more than 20 million miles from
the earth—80 times the distance
to the moon—if they were to have
a good chance of escaping detec
tion by a ground-based system,”
McNamara said in his prepared
statement.
Such a system could be instal
led quickly by the Western, or
even the neutral nations, McNa
mara said.

French Activity Leads To
Speculation on Atomic
Test In Sahara Desert
ALGIERS OP — French army
convoy activity led to speculation
today that a new French nuclear
test is imminent in the Algerian
Sahara.
The London Daily Telegraph
said France may conduct a test
underground. Both the French
and Algerian governments main
tained silence on this and other
reports about the prospects.
Underground testing is sanction
ed under the limited nuclear test
ban treaty drawn up by the United
States, Britain and the Soviet
Union in Moscow and since signed
by many nations, but rejected by
France.
Signers renounce tests in the at
mosphere, outer space and under
water.
HOLY BREW?
BRAINTREE. England <*> —The
halo’s over the beer, and not the
angel.
That's the main reason why the
local vicar, the Rev. Frank Trund
ley, has denounced the sign over
a pub here as disgraceful and de
manded its removal.
The sign of "The Angel” — the
name of the pub—depicts a smil
ing, brunette holding out a foam
ing pint which, sure enough, is
topped by a gleaming halo.
The pub owner is standing pat
behind his sign. He says "It’s not
wrong” and come what may—it
stays.

Miss Italy Leads Mutiny
Of Queens at International
Beauty Contest
LONG BEACH, Calif. ufl — Said
Miss Italy, her green eyes flash
ing angrily: “Beauty queens
should not be pictured flat on
their backs.”
With a swirl of her long, low
cut gown, Anna Luis Arispoli then
proceeded to lead the world’s most
beautiful mutiny.
j It started Monday when a re
porter and photographer for a na
tional magazine told 87 contest
ants in the International Beauty
Congress they wanted them to
pose lying on the floor of Long
Beach Arena—in formats.
Snapped Miss Arispoli, 22, thru
her hostess-interpreter: “We don’t
| do things this way in Italy.”
Most of the contestant began
dutifully to sink to the floor, like
a field of wilting flowers, while
the photographer climbed high in
the arena for the angle he desired.
A small knot of dissidents, in
spired by Miss Italy’s refusal,
gathered behind her.
“Japanese girls don’t do this
sort of thing, either,” said Miss
Japan, Shizulo Shimazu of Tokyo.
“It would ruin my gown,” said
Lori Lechner, Miss California.
The lovely mutineers, number
ing 16, stood haughtily aside. The
other girls obligingly decorated
the hardwood floor in a giant sun
burst pattern, while the cameras
clicked high overhead.
The girls, here from the United
States and 46 foreign nations, are
all hopeful of winning the title of
Miss International Beauty.
