Dipoles for radar tests spark mixed reactions from scientists
The Air Force continues radar work on the dipole blanket intended to reflect signals back to Earth. Astronomers protest potential interference while officials promise information on block and placement to aid observers. A Midas satellite reportedly carried the dipoles in a recent launch from Point Arguelle, Calif. Farmers plan a Curtiss Breeding Service meeting at Walkersville Fire Hall to discuss modern cattle breeding, film demonstrations, prize bulls, and daughter stock. In Baltimore, Thomas Grogan, former Civil Defense shelter officer and brother-in-law of Mayor Grady, is reassigned after failing a required exam, ending his posts in the sanitation supervisory line.
