A countdown on the Atlas was started yesterday but the sched uled test was postponed because of minor bugs in the mechanism of the 70-foot, three-stage missile. Today, a determined Atlas crew went to work and got the job done. During the morning hours, the J Atlas could be seen clearly on its launching platform, gleaming bright sunlight. Then black clouds rolled in off the Atlantic Ocean and the whole firing range was al most hidden in the haze. The At las itself became invisible. At 12:34 p.m.. the Atlas began to shine through the gloom like a huge icicle. It had frosted over as' the crew pumped bubbling liquid oxygen into its tanks. Four minutes later, there was a i massive belch of white smoke, then a blast of flame and the Atlas began to rise slowly, coming into view as it cleared the ground haze. Its fiery exhaust burned a hole in the thick cloud bank overhead. With its engines generating mil lions of horsepower in seconds, its in speed increased and within one minute it was out of sight, leav ing a trail of "white smoke behind. The thunder of its engines couid be heard for four minutes after it disappeared. Among tne observers inside the launching base was J. R. Dempsey, manager of the Convair Astronau tics Division which builds the At las. Dempsey advised newsmen yesterday t' I t use of the Atlas to shoot up an American moon has been considered 'for a long time."

During Visit Here Durham Cites Far-Reaching Effects Of UNCs Bureau Of Public Records Congressman Carl Durham this week said the large number ot pub lic records gathered at Chapel Hill and put on microfilm can have "a far-reaching effect internationally." Representative Durham. who Leads the Joint Atomic Energy Commission of the Senate and House, praised the collection of re-' cords in the Bureau of Public re cords and Research, headed by Pro- ' lessor William S. JenkiiH of the Do partment of Political Science. ! Congressman Durham was made an honorary member of Rho Chi Society. national honorary phar maceutical fraternity, last night. Representative Durham referred to the saving in time and money in tie monumental collection of re lords of all of the states which is housed in the I.ouis R. Wilson Lib rary at the University. Durham's complete statement fol , lows: "Basic research, as we all know, i; a time consuming form of re search, but vet it is highly neces sary in our way of life. I believe that the basic research which came out of the War effort kept our na tion here in America from going into an economic tailspin. In this compilation of records. W. S. Jenkins has gathered together inlotmation that will save time and money. He has rendered a great service not only just to the Uni- luia but to all states of the Union. I fully believe that the people will be looking to the University for information for years to come. Be cause of what he has tirelessly as sembled here, he has made a great contribution to a proud state uni- versify and to the Nation as a 1 whole.
