Faison Native Designs Scale, Weigh 4Weightless" Objects In Outer Space SAN ANTONIO - A former engineer from Falson, N. C., who became a U. S. Air Force physician, has designed a scale to weigh "weightless" objects In outer space. Doctor (Captain! William E. Thornton, son of Mrs. Rosa Thornton of F alson, has deve loped a "mass scale' at Brooks AFB, Tex., which will enable researchers to continuously monitor an astronaut's weight, the food he eats and his body by-products during orbit. Items are weighed by me chanically oscillating them In a specially devised tray. The hea vier the Item, the slower the oscillation rate. Either a small or large tray may be attached to an electronic unit which me sures the time required for five cycles of oscillation. A quick check with a reference chart then provides the item's weight. Already tested for accuracy and practicability, the device is be ing readied for space flight. Dr. Thornton, as a member of the Air Force systems Com mand's (AFSC) Aerospace Me dical Division, Is primarily concerned with the development of medical Instruments for the Manned Orbiting Laboratory program to learn more about what man can do in space. He helps develop and design sys tems to transmit from tne space craft numerous physical data on astronauts for medical study and evaluation. His organization Is a function of the aFSC com mitment to manage all phases of acquisition of new aerospace systems. Dr. Thornton, who received his medical degree from the University of North Carolina In 1963, was awarded the Legion of Merit - one of the highest de corations for distinguished ser vice to the United States - dur ing a previous tour of Air Force duty In 1955. He was In charge of the photo optics Instrumentation labora tory for flight test at Eglln AFB, Fla. He directed the de sign and development of Instru ments and operational methods for special projects Including Improved aerial photographic techniques and scoring devices to determine accuracy of wea pons and communications sys tems. He flew more than LOOQ hours during the flight test of numerous aircraft systems. Continued to Page 2 Doctor (Captain) William E.

Dewey Murphy Albertson was found not guilty of charges of statutory rape and Incest In a Courtroom filled with emotion, climaxing one of Duplin County's most sensational trials, the case was finished on Wednesday morning, October 12. Hie erldanoe for the Sate, \1 e presented by the Honorable Walter T. Brttt, Solicitor of this District, was to the effect that Dewey Murphy Albertson had lived mcestuously with his thirteen year old daughter for the past several months, having had sexual relations with her for some time. This evidence was corroborated by the Sheriff A ? C.. OiJV-1 UJ D? Teachey Fisher, who is si adopted daughter of the presen Mrs. Dewey Murphy Alberts oil Upon cross examination bj the defendant, through Vance a Gavin, his attorney, the prose cuting witness made serera statement that Gavin later argued to the jury were "incon sistent and inconceivable." . fc. i . i Clara Mae Alberta on. the-at , leged victim. first testifiedtha t she was molested bv her father the defendant, In the afternoor 'r jnd that no one else was presa Under sharp questioning, sis changed her statement and test I If led that the attack took plan at night while her eight yea. . old hrotherjraa asleep IHtHnl ? were sitting In an adjoining t room with an open door where , they could have seen all that i, took place. She said her brother it did not awaken, during the al . leged rape, nor did her family . quit looking at television long e enough to notice her plight or r come to her aid. Her explana ( tlon as to why she had pre f | viously sworn that the attack ~.t ? t took place In the afternoon was that, "I did not know the dif ference between afternoon and night until I learned It In school two weeks ago," After several hours delibera tion, the jury announced that It was "dead-locked." Under instructions of the presiding judge, die jury was returned to its room. Later It returned with a verdict of "Not Guflty." The defendant, Albertson, and a daughter by another marriage were visibly overcome with emotion and sobbed. judge Parker expressed his own disapproval of the verdict rendered and high feelings were obvious on the part of those who sympathized wtth the alleged victim. The defendant was on parole from the state Prison at the time of his trial upon aeon vlction In 1963 of sexually mo lesting his wife's adopted daughter. Before this trial, he violated his parole by being publicly drunk and was re-committed to Jail for such parole violation.
