Has Russia Fired Rocket To Moon?
By UNITED PRESS
The question was whether the Russians would reach the moon with a rocket and possibly light up its face with a hydrogen bomb during Thursday's lunar eclipse
American and British scientists expressed belief the Russians may already have fired such a missile on its 4 or 5-day journey, using the new type of power announced triumphantly by Moscow Monday.
There was no official word from Moscow, but a steady flow of hints that something big was brewing for Thursday morning. Nikita S. Khrusheley gave such a hint Monday night in talks with Communist Chinese leader Mao Tse-tung.
In Moscow a Soviet scientist, T. Khiachaturvev, said a super fuel already developed in the Soviet Union could send a rocket to the moon in 10 hours or a speed of nearly 25,000 miles an hour.
Mr. Khaehaturov said the new fuel was developed to launch Sputnik II into space with its dog passenger at eight kilometers a second or 17,855 miles an hour.
Meanwhile in the U. S. Senate leaders today appeared ready to push ahead with a full-scale investigation into what the entire U. S. space-missile effort needs to win the race for superiority over Russia.
The inquiry presumably would also attempt to pin down conclusively whether and just how far Russia—with two Sputniks in the air—is ahead in rocket development.
It has already been decided, because of the secrets involved, that any inquiry would be held largely behind closed doors. This may prevent the American public from obtaining a clear view of where the missile effort stands in relation to Russia.
Knight To Run For Senate
WASHINGTON — (UP) — Gov. Goodwin J. Knight of California formally announced today that after "long and careful consideration" he has decided to run for the U. S. Senate.
Gov. Knight will seek the seat that will be vacated next year by Senate Republican leader William F. Knowland of California, who has announced he will seek the 1958 GOP gubernatorial nomination.
Gov. Knight made his expected announcement after conferring with President Eisenhower and vice president Richard M. Nixon.
After a 40-minute meeting with vice president Nixon, Gov. Knight said he had "reached the conclusion that my best and most constructive course of action in the interest of my state and my party would be to run for the United States Senate next year."
Gov. Knight's decision will avoid what GOP leaders had feared would be a party-splitting fight between him and Sen. Knowland for the governorship.
Four States Have Elections By UNITED PRESS.
Voters in New Jersey, New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania cast their ballots in nationally significant elections today. The White House was the background for New Jersey's hot gubernatorial race. Segregation, and remotely Little Rock, was the issue in Virginia.
Animals Other Than Dogs Have Their Day In Weeks
Every dog has his day. In fact, not too long ago, he had a whole week to himself, Sept. 22 to 28. Cats come in for their share of attention this month, and the domestic rabbit has the spotlight during May. In December, the caged bird comes into its own and Save the Horse Week is Oct. 13 to 19.
The animal kingdom is only one of the many categories, which are honored with a special day, week or month of the year. Most people are aware of observances such as National Dairy Month and National Restaurant Month, but some of the other occasions aren't quite as well known.
Odorless Decoration Week
Odorless Decoration Week
Starting off the year is Super Market Month in January. The first month also contains Odorless Decoration and Large (Economy)
Size weeks. February has the National Weight-Watchers Week and Kraft and Frankfort Week
February also claims the first of the international bread observances, Wheat Bread for Toast Week. The other weeks are Buttermilk for Flavor in April, White Bread for Energy in June, Rye Bread for Variety in August, and Raisin Bread for Health in October.
March 4 to 9 is National Smile Week but it is outdone by National Laugh Week. April 1 to 8. The laugh week is followed by Let's All Play Ball Week. Mothers-in-law are also honored, but they receive only one day, April 28.
May is Tavern Month and Moth-Proofing Month. The latter part of May and the first of June is National Pickle Month. Although they may be lonely 364 days of the year, the old maids of the country band together June 4 for the observance of their "once a year day."
July seems to be the time for the younger set as it is its National Hot Dog Month. One of its special weeks is National Soft Ice Cream Week. August is National Sandwich Month.
Elvis Week
Fall has a week for Elvis Presley and Fats Domino fans- Rock 'n' Roll Week, Sept. 16 to 21. Oct. 8 to 13 is the first Anti-Freeze Week. A later Anti-Freeze Week is held for the Deep South, October also features Cleaner Air Week. If you have any interest
Krant, Pork 'n' Apple Dinner Season is being observed Oct. 15 through Nov. 30. And a special time is set aside. Nov. 24 to 30 for new brides—National Can Opener Week.
If you have any pet interests such as Drink Coffee at the Hawk's Nest Week or Closing Hours at 4 a.m. Week, start a movement to establish them. But first you had better check—there may already be such a week in existence.
Hussein's Death Urged By Egypt
Cairo radio hinted today that the assassination of King Hussein of Jordan would be a fitting end to what it called "those who betray the Arab cause."
The Byzantine empress Theodora,
wife of Justinian, was a circus
dancer and performer before she
became empress.
The Cairo radio broadcast—which brought sharp retorts and insults from Jordan—was almost an open appeal to the Arabs to kill the young ruler for alleged efforts to reach a peace settlement with Israel.
By The United Press
The broadcast observed that King Hussein's grandfather, King Abdullah, was assassinated in 1951 after he opened negotiations with Israel for an end to the Arab-Israeli war.
Without using the actual word "assassination" Cairo radio left no doubt it considered this the proper answer to King Hussein's efforts to "commit the same crime of his grandfather."
It was the second day of attacks on King Hussein who seved diplomatic relations with Egypt last summer in what Jordan labeled a Syro-Egyptian plot to assassinate him.
Both Israel and Jordan have denied officially the Egyptian reports they were negotiating a peace treaty.

NEW ORLEANS — (UP) — The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Sebago reported it spotted a brilliant flying object in the sky this morning about 200 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River. A radio report from the Sebago, on duty in the Gulf of Mexico, said the object "resembled a brilliant planet" and was traveling at a high rate of speed.
In north Louisiana, four persons told state police they sighted a bright object about half the size of an automobile rising from the ground last night near Monroe. Troopers checked the reports and found nothing unusual.

The nation's fatality toll from flu and its complications neared the 550 mark today in the wake of sharp increases in deaths reported by four states.
However, no new flu epidemics were reported and most major outbreaks appeared to be on the decline. The United Press counted a total of 546 deaths from flu and its after effects since the first appearance of the Asian flu strain in the United States last summer.

In a report to the General Assembly, Mr. Hammarskjold said the proposed surcharge would pay off in three years the $8,370,042.87 spent in clearing the canal and restoring
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. — (UF)
—Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold proposed today that costs of reopening the Suez Canal should be recimbarsed by a three per cent surcharge of canal tolls to be paid into a special United Nations fund.

Docking Proposes Cuts In Spending
TOPEKA — (UP) — The administration today proposed cuts in the spending requests of the first three state agencies to appear at the opening of Gov. Docking's budget hearings.
The three agency heads clung closely to the governor's economy line and offered no major resistance when the administration's economy knife pared some money requests.
The board of architects, board of accountancy and the State Historical Society were the first agencies to appear in the hearings, which are expected to last into December. Six more agencies were scheduled for the afternoon, including the park authority and the basic sciences board
"Those were three well-prepared and well-presented reports," Gov. Docking said.
'Space Traveling Dog Will Die In 10 Days'
MOSCOW-(UP)—One of the Soviet Union's leading rocket and missile scientists indicated the little husky dog, "Curley," aboard Sputnik II is not expected to live more than 10 days.
This was taken as an indication the dog, a veteran of space experiments, would die aboard the satellite. Previously there had been hints the animal and perhaps the satellite might be returned to earth with the dog still living.
Pheasant Season To Open
PRATT — (UP) — Pheasant hunters who are willing to work for them should get some birds in the 4-day season opening Saturday. However, a heavy cover and the fact that many maize fields in western Kansas have not yet been harvested will make the going rougher than usual for hunters.

His report reviewed the full extent of the canal clearance operation. Eleven nations have advanced $11,274,453.22 to the U.N. as loans since December, 1956, but Mr. Hammarkjold's report showed that the critical task had been carried out at a cost well below original expectations.
