In Cape Canaveral, Fla., the Air Force prepared to fire a Thor missile in the wake of Wednesday night's launching of the rival Army Jupiter.
Jupiter, an intermediate range missile and described as one of the nations best, failed to complete its flight due to "technical difficulties," but scientists said they gained "valuable information" from the test.
In Washington, D. C., it was announced that the Air Force may be bearing a decision on the awarding of a contract to develop a new bomber capable of flying three times the speed of sound.
The plane is the WS-110A or so-called "chemical" bomber, an aircraft which could span continents at 2,200 miles-an-hour at altitudes approaching 100,000 feet.

The Little Man Who Never Was
In an attempt to keep her baby sitting job under control, a University coed suggested that the child draw a picture of the Nativity scene.
The coed could recognize the baby, the father, the mother and the shepherds and angels in the picture, but she was a little puzzled about one of the figures.
"Tommy, who is the little fat man in the corner of the picture?" she asked.
"Oh," said the little boy, "he is the man in 'Silent Night,' Round John Virgin."

"Some students come up with three examinations on one day, and we're sorry we can't do something about it, but if we started making exceptions to the rules, our whole system would be ineffective," Mr. Hitt explained.
James K. Hitt, registrar, said that if any student has four examinations in one day he can have one of them changed by coming in to see Mr. Hitt.
Final examination schedules can now be picked up in the registrar's office. The examination period for the fall semester will be Jan. 20 to 25.
If anyone wants to request a change in his examination schedule he must send a written request to the Calendar Committee of the University Senate. Mr. Hitt is chairman of the committee.
Examination Schedules Ready
Mr. Hitt said these requests should be turned in to him immediately after vacation, and should be made only in exceptional cases.
A KU professor, explaining the influence that southern climates can on have a person's work habits, gave this example about some of his colleagues:
$34,900 Grant Aids Psychology Program
A $34,900 grant from the U.S. Public Health Service for the continuation of the training program for clinical psychologists has been received by the department of psychology at KU Dr. M. Erik Wright, professor of clinical psychology, directs the program.
The grant represents an increase of $2,000 over the previous period and is further encouragement for training additional personnel in this area of professional need.
The clinical psychology training program at KU usually requires at least five years of study and special supervised clinical experience past the bachelor's degree. The culmination of the program is the Ph. D. Degree in clinical psychology.
Support for the program is part of the educational effort being encouraged by the National Institute of Mental Health to develop trained professional and scientific personnel who can contribute to the solution of the nation's mental health problem through research, teaching and clinical service.
'We Have Friends In Greece'
"In the heat of the summer they would not do any work at all. They saved all of their work until winter."
Hospitable, industrious and quite anti-Communist is the opinion of the Greek people held by the American consul general to Greece.
Does This Apply Only To South?
During the training period the student works under supervision at the KU Psychology Clinic and spends a year of internship in a hospital, guidance clinic or special mental health agency.
The KU Psychological Clinic emphasizes experience with children's emotional, educational and psychological adjustment problems.
Union Expansion To Be Completed
He described northern Greece as "the land of the uneasy frontier" because of the surrounding Communist countries of Albania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. To these three
"There will be increasing emphasis on the problems of the exceptional child and adult in the clinical training program as the social implications of physical disability become more widely recognized." Dr. Wright said.
Philip W. Ireland, who for two years has advised in economic problems in northern Greece, said in "an interview Wednesday the United States has made some very good friends in Greece and they offer a very strong front against communism.
"The Communists recently put on a determined campaign in the political and economic field to influence Greece," Mr. Ireland said, "but American aid and strong traditional ties between the two countries have aided Greece's democracy."
He added, "The training program has been of particular importance to Kansas because many who have received their doctorate degree from KU have remained in Kansas to work in hospitals, clinics and school programs."
Mr. Ireland is visiting his brother,
H. A. Ireland, professor of geology.
He is on a 3-month leave and will
return to Greece for two years.
"Of course," he added, "they taught school, but I mean really work..."
he added Turkey who now has a difference with Greece over the problem of Cyprus rule.
When the planned Student Union expansion is completed by the spring semester of 1960, it will be one of a series of projects since the 1920s to bring adequate social and recreational facilities to the University students.
"I haven't found any Greeks who were not grateful for the aid and assistance that we have given them," Mr. Ireland said.
"Some Greeks go to America and earn a large sum of money, he said, but return to Greece as diplomats for the United States. The common people and the
"But the determination and industry of the hard working Greeks have made the aid effective."
The Greeks are very receptive to American visitors, Mr. Ireland said, but the United States' neutral stand on Cyprus makes them question us as friends.
Northern Greece is a very mountainous area populated with poor people, he said, and it is hard to make a living on the land. He added that once he had to call the American embassy to have a helicopter and food sent up to persons in a mountainous area that couldn't get food.
mountain people are the most demonstrative in their gratitude for foreign aid, he said.
Asked about the potential of Greece as a military force, Mr. Ireland said, "They are tough and good fighters and particularly effective in the mountain area in Greece."
Senior Wins $800 RCA Scholarship
Donald G. Coyne, Hutchinson senior, is one of 31 U. S. college students awarded an $800 scholarship for the 1957-58 academic year by the Radio Corporation of America. KU, as one of the universities maintaining the scholarships, has been awarded a $500 grant by RCA.
The awards were announced Monday by Dr. C. B. Jolliffe, RCA vice president, who said, "The awards enable the undergraduate students to continue their studies in fields directly related to the electronics and broadcasting industries, as well as to the nation's security." Coyne is majoring in engineering physics. The scholarship winners are selected by the respective universities and approved by the RCA education committee.
Medical School Cited By AMA
The dean of the KU School of Medicine said Tuesday the Kansas physician is "more up-to-date" than those of any other U. S. state according to an American Medical Assn. report.
Dean W. Clarke Wescoe made the statement during a tour of the University by some 20 members of the Kansas Legislature.
Dean Wescoe said AMA reports listed KU as the first in the nation in the number of physicians taking post-graduate work. The report further stated, the dean said, that one of every 16 physicians in this country who took refresher training, did so at KU.
The dean said Kansas has one practicing physician per 750 persons. He said this figure was the best mark of any state in this area but that a problem of "distribution" persisted.

On Nov. 30, 1920, a drive to raise one million dollars was begun with a committee of three, including Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, former KU basketball coach, heading the campaign. The money was to be used to build a stadium, a Student Union and the statue of Jimmy Green.
Contests between the students and faculty, various organizations and sororities and fraternities were used to raise the money for the original Union building. The goal was $40 from each undergraduate student.
On Feb. 23, 1923, the Kansas Senate authorized building of the Union with funds raised in the successful memorial campaign. The building was modeled after the student union at the University of Michigan. The ground-breaking ceremonies were part of the 1925 commencement program. The cornerstone was laid and the building was formally dedicated on April 30, 1926. When opened that year, only the ballroom, main lounge and cafeteria were completed.
An addition to double the size of the original building was opened in 1953. Cost of the addition was 1.5 million dollars compared to the $300,000 cost of the original building. The bonds to build the addition were to be redeemed by a $5-$a-semester levy on student activity fees.
The rooms put in the addition were the present ballroom, music and browsing room, craft shop, activity offices and the bowling and billiards area.
In discussing plans for the proposed 1960 addition, Student Union director Frank Burge said that the need for expanded facilities is consistent with the increased enrollment.
The expansion will include services and areas for which a need has been demonstrated. These include recreation, bookstore, cafeteria, social and Hawk's Nest."
