Rather than see the whole program collapse before the rainy season stops all work in June, ICA Mission Chief Daly Lavergne fortnight ago decided on his own to release more funds without a Washington go-ahead. Hearing of this, Premier Phoui grinned with relief...
What happened in early spring still has Toronto fans benumbed: the Leafs who went into March like lambs roared out like lions.

Once in orbit, the little jets went back into action. To keep the satellite horizontal, they had to make it turn just as fast as it circled the earth: one revolution, one turn.

If Discoverer had not been stabilized properly, they would have fluctuated as the satellite wobbled...

...history, rang up consolidated earnings of $2.46 a share v. 55? last year. Du Font's President Crawford H. Greenewalt told stockholders that the company's first-quarter earnings increased "perhaps 70%" on a 22% rise in sales.
