Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - December 6, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky it sounds Good mias Pauline Frederick who does radio commenting about the United nations and such matters went up to Elmira new York and lectured the audience upon various and sundry topics. In due course a Reader sent me a clipping reporting the lecture from the and in it were these Noble sentiments a a wily dont we have a crash education program for peace a in learning to walk humbly and practising brotherly love in creating thinkers philosophers and humanists who will make a contribution not to greater violence but to bring Unity out of chaos. Quot Why do we not dedicate our education to abolish the War habit and War thinking so that those who come after us will readily turn to the conference table a too to disagree is to say that peace is bad that brotherly love is unwise and that thinkers and philosophers Are a bore. I shall not be guilty of such nihilistic generalizations. On the other hand it is difficult to understand How anyone can ignore 40 years of history and still ask us to turn the other Cheek after we have been kicked in the Groin by soviet Russia surely it would be a pleasant world if j there w Ere no wars a going in fortunately we no More got through with Lebanon than que Moy came upon us we no More got through with Quemoy than the Berlin ultimatum was hurled at us. When we shall have got through with the Berlin ultimatum there will be another episode As there has been some trouble now practically every Day since 1945. Precisely what would miss Frederick have us do give in to every demand that soviet Russia makes upon us does she want the thinkers philosophers and humanists i whom she would have us create Kow Tow to Khrushchev drunk or sober at All times incidentally and by the Way the word humanist in the above is used incorrectly a person can be a thinker and a philosopher and not a humanist. Tile term humanist is the opposite of the word theist. A a theist or deist As he is sometimes called is one who believes that god is the Center of life a humanist is one who believes that Man is the Center of All things. It strikes me that the word in the above quotation that miss Frederick would have preferred the reporter to use is humanitarian. And if that is so. Is there or has there Ever been a nation which is More humanitarian than tile United states which has Given billions of its wealth to All the world often with no strings attached out of the goodness of the heart of the american people As humanitarians we do better than As politicians or As soldiers. We go to the trouble of rebuilding our enemies As we have done for Japan and for West Germany. We even gave soviet Russia $11,000 -000.000 and some american probably would prefer that we go on giving even though soviet Russia has become our principal enemy Khrushchev says Quot we will Bury you a meaning to do it by 1970 by economic Means if he can.

Existence of the radiation Belt was revealed by the explorer satellites and was announced by Van Allen who is in charge of instrumentation for army space vehicles. Van Allen recently estimated1 i that the radiation May go As High j As 1.000 Roentgen an hour. This would mean that an unprotected space traveler would Sutler a lethal dose of radioactivity in less than a half hour. Shielding against such intensity would add greatly to the weight of space vehicles. The air forces Pioneer i lunar probe robot in october indicated that tile radiation was far less serious than Van Allen has estimated. The Pioneer i results gave a maximum of Only four Roentgen per hour at an Altitude of 5,000 Miles. However Van Allen has completely rejected the Pioneer i results. He contends that the air Are held outside is that real Power Force robot did not contain instill exists among those who can St Ruments capable of accurate shoot to kill of these the Prin measurements.

Army lunar probe robot too slow and too off course to reach the Moon roared upward today toward an estimated Peak Altitude of 64.830 Miles thus would be about a Quarter of the distance to the Moon s orbit and far less than the Altitude of 79,000 Miles reached by the air Force i Neer i in october. Scientists said the army rocket dubbed Pioneer Iii would reach its Peak height at about 8 . Today. Launched at 12 45 . At Cape canaveral fla., the Gold plated robot eight hours later had reached an Altitude of More than 42 000 Miles and was still zooming upward at More than 3.700 Miles an hour. Eon or. William h. Pickering director of the army a Jet propulsion Laboratory told a news conference that the robot will fall Back to Earth and will strike the atmosphere j and Burn up at about 3 . Sunday. Pickering would not predict where the probe would enter the atmosphere. But or. Wernher von Braun the army s chief missile scientist made a rough estimate that it w Ould plunge into the air a in the Vicinity of the total flight time will be about 38 hours compared with 43 hours for the air Force s Pioneer i the army lunar rocket actually broke through the atmosphere at a greater Speed than Pioneer i a 24.057 an hour compared with 23,450 for the air Force rocket. But Pioneer Iii was More than three degrees Low from its expected trajectory which should have been 68 degrees from the vertical whereas Pioneer i was High from approximately the same intended path. The army a robot therefore lost More of its Speed to the Earth s Gravity. Pickering said the army robot s instruments Are working perfectly and that signals Are being received both in puerto Rico and at the army a new Goldstone tracking station in California s Mojave desert. He said the probe therefor should provide excellent information about the deadly band or radiation that its 13 Pound instrument payload was chiefly designed to measure. Pickering pointed out that Pioneer ill s batteries were designed to last 75 hours and that reception of information from the robot therefore should be Good throughout its flight. Too the National aeronautics and space administration had announced shortly after Blastoff that All four stages of the probe s 76-foot Juno ii rocket Assembly had fired successfully. But from Cape canaveral word that the first stage had fired three seconds Early and that this. And the Low we Ould keep the probe from reaching the Speed necessary to take it past the Moon.
