Navy Moon Shine
After two spectacular failures and many de-
lays. the Navy finally succeeded in orbiting its
tiny moon, about the size of a robust ’ Texas '
grapefruit The Navy was optimistic about put-
ting this Explorer 11 satellite into orbit as atested
by the sign which was painted on the Vanguard
which launched it "Have ball, will orbit “
Makes us wonder if the earlier failure by the
Navy could have been because the satellite team
wa» spending too much time watching those
westerns on TV. At any rate it looks like they
finally managed to outshoot Pallidin
Explorer II which weighs only 3 1 4 pounds
reaches a maximum of 2 500 miles from the
earth and a minimum of 407 miles, may orbit
as long as twenty years. The little grapefruit
will carry on a conversation via its radio signals.
Like us humans its chief topic will be the wea-
ther In fact it can only transmit information
on the temperature By comparison its trip
around the earth is slow—its leisure journey
takes 135 minutes However, this is a shade
better than the late Michael Todd's "Eighty
Days.”
The Navy team is to be congratulated on their
perseverence in the face of previous failures
which received vituperations from an over-
anxious and worried public. There were agoniz-
ing moments following the launching awaiting
definite word that Vanguard 1 'the unofficial
name of Explorer II> had been successfully orbi-
ted It was with some joy that news came that
success was a» hand
The Navy will next attempt to orbit a 2,2
pound satellite and after that it will try to send
one around the moon. It won't be too long be-
fore the man in the moon is involved in a traffic
jam paralleling that facing the American driver
when he gets on the highway That man up there
had better start running for cover.

FORGOTTEN FACTS
10 YEARS AGO
With only a few days left for
completion of the fund. Ennis
Chapter still lacks about 91500
of reaching its $4200 quota in
the Red Cross fund drive.
Having solemnly subscribed at Washington
and Paris to the principles of "interdependence'
and economic partnership with its allies, the
United States has now hauled off and hit Canada
an economic blow of undisclosed gravity
By government order, imports of oil into the
Pacific coast states are to be cut by nearly 30
per cent—from 320.000 to 220.000 barrtds
daily . . .
The official excuse for this action—that the
United States is becoming too dependent on
foreign oil sources which would be cut off in
time of war—is as thin as Secretary Dulles’
smile It is patriotic camouflage for a piece of
arrant protectionism demmanded by a section
of the American oil industry.

Though The Speaker told the
story quite recently. 1 now find
that the incident actually hap-
pened at the last session of
Congress and therefore applied
to the 4-cent stamp instead of
the five cent. However, the
point of the story remains even
more valid—because if the
Speaker was sore at the Post-
master General regarding his
tactics in trying to win support
for the four-cent stamp lie will
be even more adamant regard-
ing the increase to five cents.
He has indicated this recently in
telling the story of Summer-
field's offering him new post of
