New Atlas ICBM Explodes Seconds After Its Launching Joyner Dorm Rates Highest In Averages Joyner led all other UNC men's dormitories in scholastic averages or the fall semester. Ray efferies, assistant to the dean of student affairs, released the averages of the men's dorms Tuesday. He said the coed dorm averages would not be released un til next week when the Women's Residence Council will present an award to the dorm with the highest average. On a quality point basis with three points lor in A, two for a B and one for a C, Joyner's average was 1.364. The other dorm averages were: Mangum, 1.301; Old East, 1.292; Old West. 1.270: Ruff in. 1.270: B-V-P, 1.268; Parker, 1.222; Alex ander, 1.191; Stacy, 1.182; Winston, 1.144; Cobb, 1.120; Aycock, 1.106; Avery, 1.089; Manly, 1.089; Lewis, 1.057; Everett, 1.046, and Graham, .976.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., April, 14 (iD A streamlined new model of the Atlas Intercontinental Range Ballistic Missile blew apart with a flash of orange fire today seconds after launching. The 80-foot rocket, first of the operational "D" series, bucked a strong headwind as it climbed aloft at 4:47 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Some 15 seconds later it was de stroyed by the range safety officer when a malfunction occurred. This was a prototype of the big ICBM that the Air Force hopes to have ready for troop use early this summer. The missile appeared to sway to the right shortly after blastoff. As it climbed unsteadily, a long trail of fire, much brighter than usual, flashed in its wake. The big war rocket, reportedly lighter and more powerful than its 22 predecessors, veered left and right as it climbed. Suddenly it be came engulfed in a huge ball of orange flame. The shattered rocket crashed back to the edge of the cape trailing billows of black smoke. Debris rain ed back ont he launching area for more than 10 seconds after the range safety officer made his move. The Air Force said in a brief statement that the Atlas "developed a malfunction and had to be de stroyed by the range safety officer." Fifteen minutes after the specta cular explosion, the eighth in the Atlas test series, a pall of black smoke was whipped by the brisk wind over the cape. Air Force officials said prelimin ary indications were that no one was injured. The Convair-developcd Atlas, which is expected to provide a boos ter for a spectacular space shot to Venus this June, was aimed at a target area 5.000 miles down the Atlantic range. For the third straight time in three months the big ICBM failed to do its job. The missile last blew up Feb. 20 three minutes after lift off. On March 18 it fell far short of its 4,500-mile target. Dulles C ding; ancer Sprea Treatment On Neck Begins By JOHN SCALI WASHINGTON, April 14 (51 Doc tors reported today that recent neck pains developed by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles may be due to a new outbreak of cancer. Some medical authorities said this virtually ruled out the chance that he would ever return to full time direction of the nation's foreign po licy. Acting Secretary of State Chris tian Herter has already been named as a substitute for Dulles at dip lomatic talks with the British, French and German foreign minis ters opening in Paris April 29. Radio Club Hears Founder Tell Of Pre-Tube History IDC To Give Awards For Best Dormitories The early history of radio at UNC, dating from the pre-tube days of 1919, was related at a recent meet ing of the Radio Club by the found er of amateur radio here, Thomas B. Smiley. Smiley told first how he original ly got on the air with a spark-gap transmitter in 1919, using call let ters that he made up: 4SM. By 1923, the station here got a real license with the call letters, 4XE. Six trophies will be awarded dur ing the annual Interdormitory Coun cil Awards Banquet tonight at 7 o'clock at Watts Restaurant. !

Spring Frolic Coming Soon There'll be dancin' and Jimmy Capps too for the IDC-sponsored Spring Frolic on Friday, April 24. The dance will come first, from 7:30 to 10:15 p.m., in the parking lot area at Hanes Hall. Music for the dance will be provided by a combo. Dress for the dance will be ual." cas- The "party" will move to Davie Poplar at 10:15 p.m. for the UNC originated "Our Best To You" pro grani over Raleigh Station WPTF. Jimmy Capps, master ' of ceremon ies for the record program, will use requests from UNC for some of the music selections. Free refreshments will be serv ed. Phil Edward of the IDC is in charge of arrangements for the Spring Frolic. ; Later the "X" in the call letters was changed to " W" because the Commerece Department (in days be fore the Federal Communications Commission) reserved the "X" for experimental stations. The radio station at UNC saw such historical developments in radio as the use of the prefix "U" and later "W" for United States stations to distinguish from radio stations in other countries. Smiley recalled the days in 1925 when the UNC station began using tubes. With the power of 15 watts and one tube and a one-tube re ceiver, he said, the UNC station be gan to talk with West Coast "hams." After putting up a better antenna, UNC radio operators were heard over the world. A thrilling experience for radio operators here in 1923 was in being one of few stations to maintain regular contact with Macmillen's j and Byrd's first Antarctic trips. Smiley, who was both a UNC stu dent and teacher, was here when Phillips Hall was first opened. Dulles has oeen clinging to hopi that he might fight back from the cancer which was found in Febru ary in his abdominal region. He hoped to attend the foilow-up big four meeting in Geneva a month hence. A top team of specialists gave him another examination at Walter Reed Army Hospital today and the State Department reported afterward: "During the last several days Secretary Dulles has experienced in creasing discomfort in the lower neck. "X-ray studies suggest the possi bility that his discomfort may be attributable to the presence of a malignant tumor in the lower cervi cal vertebrae. External radiation treatment to the lower neck began today. "The condition of the secretary's abdomen remains unchanged and further treatment to the abdomen is not now indicated." The carefully guarded language of the state department bulletin did not say flatly that Dulles naa a new malignant tumor. Press officer Lincoln White was asked to be specific: Does the an nouncement mean that Dulles de finitely has such a tumor, or just that he may have one? White left the inquiring rrporters for a time, presumably to telephone doctors at Walter Reed. He came back and said he could not make any comment beyond the wording in the announcement. Cancer at the base of the neck is particularly dangerous because it is near the spinal column and nerv ous system, surgery is ruled out. &kf U' i-.v.'ir' fit- ,, 114 r ii ffth II m iii W v !

Campus Internationally Flavored The Carolina campus took on an international flavor last weekend as the delegates to the United Nations Model Assembly met, discussed, de bated, argued and voted. Gerrard and Memorial halls were hung with flags from the 81 United Nations member countries and signs reading. "France," "Japan," "Tur key," and other member countries proclaimed the sealing arrangement of the delegations. Roger Foushee, new president of the state Collegiate Council for the United Nations, noted the "serious ness with which the American stu dents fell into the typical attitudes of the countries they were represent mg. "This was really the purpose of the Assembly," said Foushee. "In j Ed Levy, a UNC delegate, pointed this way the students could get some idea of the way other coun tries feel about world problems and how to solve them." the USSR delegation. When the mo tion to admit Red China to the One example of this spirit was in United Nations was tabled on a mo tion from the United States the USSR delegation staged a walk out in protest. Each delegation had its own page, a local high school boy. Johnny Garger, Chapel Hill, page for the Yugoslavian delegation, was selected Outstanding Page of the assembly. He will accompany students to the first United Nations seminar in New York next fall. out that on the West Coast, Wis consin and Texas the U.N. Model assemblies are big events with sev eral hundred delegate "This is the sort of thing UNC is striving for, said Levy, and now that we know what it takes to have one we will do a better job next year. "We hope evenutally to have the assemblies all over the country, he said, "with regional, district, and finally, a national assembly." Flans are already underway for next year's assembly, according to Cynthia Grant, secretary general o: the Model Assembly Three Powers Agree To Revisions Vefo GENEVA, April 14 tfi The United States, Britain and the So viet Union agreed today to give themselves a veto over any revi sions to a treaty for the suspension of nuclear weapons tests. The three powers approved a draft article on amendment proce dures in a 55-minute meeting. Any decisive movement in the conference, however, now awaits the Soviet Unions reaction to an American-British proposal for the suspension of testing on a step-by-step basis. This Western plan was not discussed at the brief session today. Soviet delegate Semyon Tsarapkin obviously was awaiting instructions from Moscow. Faulty Timing Device Kills Capsule Catch INGLEWOOD, Calif., April 14 UPV- I A faulty timing device today dashed Air Force hopes of making a sen sational aerial catch of a capsule from the satellite Discoverer II. But experts still plan to eject the capsule later tonight as a test of its various kinds of equipment. It will fall north of the area where Hawaii- based planes were poised lo try to snatch it as it parachutes down. They called the recovery try a 1,000 to 1 shot. And despite the odds. it looked for a while as though con ditions were ideal. The orbit was about as good as could be hoped for low, nearly circular and short lived. But the malfunction, one of hun dreds possible in such an opera tion, made the try impossible. . Air Force Ballistic Missile divi son headquarters here said nonethe les a majority of the shot's primary objectves were achieved. These in clude launching techniques, propul sion, communications, orbital char acteristcis and orbital stability. Future capsules will contain mice and monkeys. If the recovery tech nique works out, it may be used to bring down gentles the first men to venture into space. Discoverer II was fired into orbit yesterday from Vandenberg AFB, Calif. Plans called for its small, 160- pound capsule to be ejected near Hawaii on command from an island radar station. As it parachuted earthward, giant C119 Flying Box cars were to swoop over it and try to snag it with a trapeze-like de vicetrailing poles with a ny lon web between. If they missed, de stroyers would pluck the buoyant package from the sea. The scheduled ejection time to night was 7 p.m. EST. Roy Johnson, director of the Ad vanced Research Projects Agency, said in Washington this test may include operation of the retrorocket and parachute. The test was slated for the moonlet's 17th orbital pass. The retro-rocket acts as a brake, slowing the capsule for re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. The cap sule, shielded by the nose cone, is blasted explosively away from the mother satellite. The satellite the entire second stage rocket of dis coverer II, is expected to continue in orbit for 30 days or more. INFIRMARY Students in the Infirmary yester day included: Dorothy Carter, Billie Jane Ruth, Linda Moore, Patricia Daniels, Christopher Hubbeling, Fred Robin son, Robin Wooten, Richard Cash, Howard Vann, Michael Shulman.
