Grand Old Man Of Rocketry Hermann Oberth Era
The German rocket pioneer Hermann Oberth, age about 60, lives near Redstone Army Base while shaping space travel ideas for the U S Army and envisioning a future with space stations and moon missions. He recalls early work on V2 rockets, notes World War II ties, and hints at a future where satellites pave manned outposts in space. His life blends deep theory with top secret applications as he contemplates a half year return to Germany and potential exile.

A Canberra Chamber Music Society concert by Neville Amadio Ernest Lewellyn Mimpaon Lote and Robert Piltler on ABC presented Mozart and Beethoven with limited unity. Despite fine tone from the cellist the ensemble showed uncertain tempo and weak dynamic variety, suggesting future cohesion with more joint practice and longer collaboration.

Death of Father Burke Gaffney
Sydney obituary notes the death of the renowned Father Thomas Burke Gaffney at Lewisham Hospital at age 65 after a three month illness. He gained world renown for a paper in the Australian Journal of Privicy on ecological and related effects of 195% and hydrogen bomb explosions, which astonished scientists with his timing of nuclear events. He proposed tests of theories via controlled nuclear explosions at the American testing ground in Neeads and reportedly verified the timings to within five counts.
