White Sands Missile Range founder Turner recalls early improvisation
Lt. Col. Harold R. Turner recalls arriving at White Sands in 1945 with orders to build a range after Trinity test. He improvised concrete blockhouse walls, a sturdy test stand for V2s, and a flame-deflecting chute with GI welders and Von Braun’s help. The first static V2 firing lasted 63 seconds, stunning observers as heat and debris flew. Turner later retired to El Paso and notes the range’s growth and expanding manpower.

Conferees Meet on Foreign Aid Bill With Optimistic Hope
Washington AP House and Senate negotiators have met seven times without a final pact on foreign aid. Rep Thomas E Morgan predicts success by week’s end while Sen Fulbright notes progress stalled on the core differences. Despite money gaps between 3.37 and 4.24 billion, officials expect no trouble there as authorization sets spending ceilings for future appropriations. Abby Ussery, a leading jockey, wins 30th race at Aqueduct this spring.
