...will probably launch a trial earth satellite some time this fall, perhaps in October. Speaking last week before a meeting of the International Scientific Radio Union, which drew delegates from 23 nations to the University of Colorado in Boulder, the Navy's Dr. John P. Hagen, civilian scientist, gave the most complete report yet on U.S. plans to launch a covey of man-made moons in the International Geophysical Year (June 30, 1957 through...
Easterner Stallknecht has had her greatest success in the West, with a traveling show this summer that went to Colorado Springs, Pasadena, San Diego and San Francisco. In the exhibition catalogue, Art Historian Lloyd Goodrich of Manhattan's Whitney Museum went full out for Stallknecht's work, describing her as "a 'natural'; she puts things down on canvas with unhesitating directness, as if reality guided her brush. But her realism is never merely photographic. Sometimes her patterns take on an expressionistic freedom, with pronounced rhythms, suggesting Van Gogh-or, nearer home, Marsden Hartley. But such parallels...
HUGE FARM AREA will be created along Colorado River in southwestern Arizona, where Real Estateman Stanley W. Barton made deal with Interior Department to transform 67,000 parched acres of Indian reservation into desert garden. In history's biggest lease of Indian lands for agricultural development, Barton will spend about $28 million to complete an irrigating system, also develop industrial and residential sites. Reservation's 1,400 Indians will get jobs, and much improved land will revert to them in 20 to 25 years...
...rough ride. While Congressmen want the Air Force to have the very latest thing in airplanes and missiles, they do not feel quite the same way about chapels. Congressmen marshaled some Congress-like reasons two years ago to turn down plans for the Air Force Academy chapel at Colorado Springs (TIME, July 18, 1955 et seq.). So angry were their cries against the glass, steel and aluminum project that the Air Force decided to rub it all out and start over again. Last week the House debated a new plan for the chapel. It had a hard time making...
...give farmers an income-tax break by letting them average good years with bad. A little (ten acres) Georgia cotton farmer who seldom nets more than $400 a year, thinks the only "fair thing" is 100%-of-parity supports under all farm commodities-or at least under cotton. A Colorado wheat farmer offers still another plan: "Congress should create huge cooperatives to handle the crops, and only enough should be let out to maintain the market." But farm experts who take a broad view see no simple, straightforward answer. "The farm problem," broods an Illinois farm economist,"is semi-economic...
