Hyde Accuses
State Board of
Distorting Facts
Be the Auociotefl Prru
Representative Hyde. Repub
lican of Maryland. In effect ac
cused the Maryland Board of
Natural Resources yesterday of
distorting facts in opposing a
proposed national park along
the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal
In Western Maryland.
“Public servants certainly
are entitled to the opinions
they develop from facts avaU
able to them." Representative
Hyde declared In a statement.
' but they owe a responsibility
to the public not to distort
facts or broadcast views devel
oped out of Ignorance."
The board at a meeting last
November said plans for the
park were made without con
sulting the State of Maryland
and were going forward against
the opposition of Maryland.
It added that "such a park
would make the Federal Gov
, eminent the sole riparian owner
along the north shore of the
Potomac from Great Falls to
Cumberland " '
But Representative Hyde 1
said the proposed national park
would make "no change what
soever In the jurisdiction ol
the Potomac River." He said
"a law sponsored by Senator
Beall, Republican of Maryland,
and myself specifically 'author
izes and direct*' the Secretary
of the Interior to grant per
petual easements, subject to
reasonable conditions as are
necessary to protect the inter
est of all the people, for right-!
of-way through, over, or under
the parkway lands along the
C&O Canal."

Satellite Test Halted
By Minor Difficulties
Contlnaed From first Rage
, Smithsonian Astrophyslcal Lab
oratory announced that the
' 6.4-lnch, 3V*-pound teat sphere,
once It hoa entered an orbit.
. will be kown officially as "1857
Gamma."
1 The name would signify that
! this wss the third man-made
i moon of the year. If the So
, vieta launch a third Sputnik
before Gamma gets going, the
United States orblter presum
' ably would take the name of
Delta, or No. 4.
In missing Its date to become
a moon, Gamma provided this
part of Florida with unusual
drama and excitement.
It had been Indicated at first
, that at 9 am. Tuesday the
launching crews would start
an 11-hour countdown or
check-off period during which
every detail of the complicated
rocket* vehicle would be made
ready for functioning. At the
end of the countdown, presum
ably around 8 am. yesterday,
the first of the three rocket
stages would be touched off
and the device would start Its
climb to 300-mlle high orbital
altitude.
First 7 Honrs Smooth
There were delays, and the
proposed 11-hour countdown
actually started at 5 am.
Wednesday, with 4 pjn. as the
tentative hour of launching.
The checkoff pro ceed e d
smoothly and on schedule for
more than seven hours. Then
the “holds "—temporary delays,
during which the countdown
was suspended—began. The
anticipated launching hour
changed progressively to 5:40
pin.. 6:30, 6:45, 7:40. 8:20.
All Florida kept tabs on the
launching attempt and a good
ly part of the population of!
this area thronged to the
beaches providing a view of the
cape launching area. The test
center Itself is closed to the
public. Newsmen joined the
public In “bird-watching" from
the beach.
A morning overcast lifted
after noon for the launching.
Unhappily the wind also rose
Winds of 15 miles an hour can
make difficult the launching of
a tall rocket. A 20-mile-an
nour wind can topple It.
Beach Areas Crowded
Throughout the sunny after
noon and Into moonlit night
the beach areas fronting on the
cape became crowded with au
tomobiles and people. The
word had got around that the
greatest show on earth might
.soon begin—the first move
ment of an American satellite
into space—with free seats and
a splendid view for all.
A motel owner set up an
elaborate buffet for newsmen
at the beach area closest to the
reservation. Automobile traf
fic jammed not only the streets
and highways along the beach
but the firm sandy seashore it
self.
All this happened on one of
the coldest days of the Florida
winter season. Bone-chilling
winds sent home many a mis
sile watcher who might have
stayed on the beaches until
the test was called off.
Groups of residents banded
together at beachside spots to
build fires for warmth. Young
sters cooked hot dogs.
The curious got little chance
to see what went on at the
Vanguard launching site. Even
with high-powered binoculars
it was impossible to detect the
activities of the scores of tech
nical men who tried to get the
rocket in working order.
Red Light Quenched
When the red warning light
flashed on. signifying a rocket
or missile shoot was imminent,
residents of this boomtime area
poured out in droves for van
tage points. Then came the
postponement. Old hands at
missile watching knew the
game was up for last night
when the red light was extin
guished.
Press, newsreel and tele
vision cameramen who stayed
to the end on "Bird Watch
Knoll"—about two miles from
the spot where Vanguard was
to be launched —protested that
the military did not inform
them when the shoot was off but
left them standing in the cold.
As the night became colder
and the delays longer the pub
lic’s enthusiasm declined.
Promptly at 9 p.m. there was a
sudden concerted exodus from
the beach, by hundreds of auto
mobiles. their headlights glint
ing across the fingers of surf.
The decision to quit for the '
night did not become official
however, until 10:15 p.m. Re
porters were told that the order
to "scrub” came from Daniel
G. Mazur of Buffalo. N. Y..
head of the project for the
Naval Research Laboratory.
Among workmen streaming 1
home after the exhausting
hours on the launching site
there were expressions of con
fidence that the next attempt l
would be successful.
After all, the long hours of
delay were a part of every new ■
program, and the inevitable,:
product of growing complexity, j

"We would have had the

Teat Crews Tired
'j The Defense Department ls
; sued this statement:
“A aeries of minor technical
adjustments has resulted In the
; extension of the preparations
’ for firing to the point where
test crews are very tired.
“In order to overcome the
; present technical difficulty. It
is necessary to unload the liquid

would take several hours and
| push the test crews to a fatigue
point considered dangerous to
the success of the test,
j "Additionally, upper air winds
are becoming unfavorable. It
will be known by tomorrow
when the test will be resumed.”
Jet Stream Overhead
He said meteorologists ad
vised that there were marginal
upper winds—that a Jet stream
or river of high-speed, high
altitude winds had moved Into
the area and was overhead. The
shearing effect of such divergent
winds could Impose Intolerable
forces on the big rocket.
The surface winds, further
more. were marginal—on the
verge of giving trouble—all af
ternoon, and the forecast was
that they would increase.
Mr. Walsh said 250 Vanguard
project employes and perhaps
200 Air Force personnel worked
on the launching attempt.
"Human weariness was a big
factor in the decision to scrub
out." he sold.
Dr. Hagen also said that
workers had been on the Job
for 30 hours with only naps
and it would be dangerous to
go on.
