Dakota Briefs HOXEEIl-TIMES Deadwood. S. Dak. WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1959 Stales Cancel Bids on Highway Until Congress Solves Trust Fund I all federnlly-nided pro'ects were at a standstill. The state Highway Commission decided that, pend I Fleet to Get Rocket in '60 WASHINGTON (UPIl The chief of the Navy's $2,600,000,000 Polaris missile program assured Congress today that the submarine-launched rocket will join the fleet in 1960 three years ahead of the original target date.

Rear Adm. William F. Raborn told a House Space Committee hearing that the solid-fuel Polaris has "met or exceeded every objective as scheduled for the development program." The committee held Its second day of hearings on a series of test "failures" at Cape Canaveral, Fla. Chairman Overton Brooks ID Iji emphasized that the committee sought only to get the facts and had intention of criticizing" the armed forces. Raborn told the committee that he expects to face more problems with the polaris "but I know we can handle them." Analysis of data collected so far, he said, gives "every reason to predict success" in getting the missile aboard submarines in operational status by the end of I960.

United Prenn International Several states have cancelled new bids on federal-state highway construction projects pending settlement by Congress on how to replenish the highway trust fund, a United Press International survey showed today. The House Ways Means Committee Tuesday turned down proposals to solve the highway financing crisis with a boost in the federal gasoline tax.

The current deficit In the highway fund threatens to slow down construction of the interstate road network. In the Midwest, Minnesota has postponed bids on some seven million dollars In highway work because of the congressional de-lav. Indiana announced Tuesday It was also declaring a moratorium on bid letting for the federal-state highway system until It is assured its "claims will be promptly paid when submitted to the Department of Commerce for liquidation" Illinois scheduled bid letting for September, but the Highway Department said it would not be able to hold the letting unless new money is forthcoming from Congress. A spokesman said projects already under contract would not be affected. The state has about 225 million dollars worth of road projects programmed for the current fiscal year.

The figure Includes 65 million dollars In federal funds. Ohio, one of the leaders in letting interstate highway contracts, cancelled an August bid letting of nearly seven million dollars because no federal funds were being advanced. The Ohio Legislature In Its past session hiked the gas tax two cents a gallon in order to cover the state's sharp of the highway program. In Washington, new starts on Hospitals ST.

Colorado opened the last federal-state highway bid today, small one of $164,000, while Wyoming already has cancelled further letting and does not even intend to award contracts on bids opened July 16. Virginia also declared a moratorium on further projects until Congress puts up more money. New Hampshire officials said they were holding back temporarily on bid letting. The Pennsylvania Highway Department said officially it has not ended any bid letting on federal-state projects. But unofficially that is what Is being done.

Liqhtninq Causes 3 Forest Fires Lightning strikes were the cause of three fires on the Black Hills National Forest Tuesday, one of which burned over 15 acres before it could be controlled. The strikes occurred Monday night during an electrical storm which passed over the Hills. The snags smoldered until Tuesday morning when they broke out and were then spotted. The largest fire was located on the west side of Elk Mountain about 18 miles southeast of Newcastle. The first attack on it was made by two men In the "helitack" about 9:25 a.m.

All forest service crews from the Custer and Elk Mountain districts worked to suppress the flames and mopping up operations were still going on Wednesday morning. A three-acre fire four miles west of Rapid City In South f'anvon was discovered about 11 a Tuesday and controlled by South Dakota Game Fish and Parks units, a Buckingham Wood Products crew, local volunteers and forest service men. A fire on West Este Creek on the Ncnio district burned only a half-acre. Spotted about 12:30 m. Tuesday from Custer Peak, it was controlled and mopped up by the forest service crew of the district.

Strato-Bowl Balloon Goes Up Saturday RAPID CITY lUPIl A scientist and a Navy officer have been scheduled to go aloft from the Black Hills Stratq-bowl next Sat urday beneath a huge plastic balloon in the Navy's eighth "strato-lab" flight. Flight scientist Robert M. Cooper will use a newly-developed coronagraph to create artificial solar eclipses and make detailed studies of the sun at a maximum altitude of 40,000 feet. Veteran balloonist Cmdr.

Malcolm Ross, of the office of naval research, will accompany Cooper In the open gondola to pilot the plastic balloon. Launching will be 6 a.m. Satur day from the bowl near here. The men are expected to drift between 250 and 400 miles in an easterly direction and come down in the late afternoon. Otto Winzen, head of Winzen Research, Minneapolis, wilj direct the launching.

His firm constructed the balloon and owns the gondola "sky car," which will be used in the flight. Cooper will study the light given off by the sun and its relation to our atmosphere. Cooper is a staff member of the high altitude observatory of the University of Colorado. The launching is planned for local sunrise. The balloon is expected to rise up at about 500 feet per minute1 to an altitude of 10,000 feet and the men will don oxygen masks and rise slowly to 40,000 feet for more observations.

Their respiration, heart action and body temperatures will be telemetered and checked by naval flight surgeons, who will be in a tracking plane. Look right i mn mi ner Dr. T. R. Pfisterer Tuesday ruled an Athol farm child died accidentally by strangulation.

Atlas Missile Makes 5,000 Mile Journey CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (I'l'Il-A revamped Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile thundered miles Tuesday night to punctuate congressional queries into whether we are losing the missile race with Russia.

About l's hours after launching, the Air Force announced the shoot apparently was a complete success. An attempt was expected later to recover a tiny data capsule carried in the blunt "heat sink" nose cone of the missile. The capsule was equipped to record technical information about the flight. Tuesday night's launching gave a dramatic punch to earlier state ments by a top Air Force officer in Washington that there was "no cause for alarm" over the string of misfirings, ranging from Feb. 20 to June 6.

The last succesful shoot was July 21. Lt. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever, Air Force research chief, told a House committee Tuesday he was confident the Air Force would succeed in eliminating the troubles.

He said the Atlas, originally slated to have become operational this month, still should be ready for limited deployment to combat units within 60 days. The silvery 100-ton war rocket rose confidently from its pad at 12:10 p.m. c.d t. iierseih Jo Give Oudland Speech Ul oi; uiti tiaUiiut5 uuui in UlV eVUUlctltUb ilUUUluU t.UUU.iClit. louay.

Arden B.

Stutler, presiding minister, said the Jehovah's Witnesses have been denied constitutional rights by the city. The city refused to grant a permit to the group to construct a church in a residential area of the town. The city commission turned down the request for a permit after residents of the area had signed a petition protesting the planned construction.
