Said Cam- panella, “Roseboro has halent in him. His job is to get that talent out of himself and then he’ll be a great ballplayer.” Scientists Say Vanguard I Is Still Signaling Washington (AFPS)—Vanguard I, placed in orbit March 17, 1958, was still transmitting radio sign- als on its third anniversary and according to experts could pos- sibly continue transmission for hundreds of years. The satellite’s transmitter is powered by the sun, drawing en- ergy through six square windows to the Vanguard’s banks of solar batteries. From Vangutrd I’s information scientists have made radio-fixes which proved that the earth is slightly pear-shaped instead of round as previously believed. Vanguard I has provided data on the variations of atmospheric density with respect to the sun’s rotation. It has demonstrated the effectiveness of solar cells as sources of space power usable over long periods of time and shown that the gravitational fields of the moon and sun modify the orbits of earth satellites. The satellite has demonstrated that the radiation pressure of light from the sun modifies the movement of a satellite in its or- bit and revealed the effect of magnetic drag in slowing the ro- tational motion of metallic sa- tellites.

ADC had earned the right to meet PACAF, the winner’s brack- et representative, by thumping MATS in the semi-final 15-9 and 15-6. In the first game ADC jumped into a commanding 9-0 lead be- fore the icy PACAF team could manage to score, but once they did ADC was soon overhauled at 14-13 and just barely regrouped their forces to edge their way to Model Plane Meet Open To KA Fans More than 100 MATS Model Airplane enthusiasts will gather at Scott AFB, Ill. from June 29- July 3, for the annual MATS Model Airplane Tournament.

The remaining two games were see-saw affairs until the nimble-fingered PACAF team turned ball control into an ADC disaster. For both teams it was their second meeting of the day. Play- ing to determine the representa- tive from the winner’s division, the two perennial “toughies” clashed in an early afternoon duel with PACAF sweeping the meet in two, 15-13 and 15-11. Earlier in the day MATS eli- minated TAC 15-11 and 15-6 to gain the honor of playing ADC in the semi-final night game. Of the seven-member All-Air Force team, announced at the con- clusion of the final game, Davis, Kahalehau and Teruya were nam- ed from PACAF; Acma and Highland from ADC; Eliason from ARDC and Manzano from TAC. On the second team were Meyer and Mendes, PACAF Grubbs and Seymour, MATS Ball, AjDC; Shim, ARDC; Reyn- olds, SAC, and Pochmara, ATC. Receiving honorable mention were Fisher and Reese, PACAF; San- ders, ADC; Westerfield, TAC; Lee, ADC; West, AMC; Shimizu, SAC, and Schick. Captain Despres Honored With Cheney Award Captain Alfred S. Despres, Jr., Strategic Air Command pilot, has been selected by General Thomas D. White, Air Force Chief of Staff, to receive the 1960 Cheney Award. The Cheney Award is made an- nually for an act of valor, extreme fortitude or self-sacrifice of a humanitarian nature. While the act must be associated with avia- tion, it need not have been of a military nature. The award com- memorates Lieutenant William H. Cheney, Army Air Service, who was killed in a crash at Foggia, Italy, January 20, 1918. Captain Despres was cited for heroism on January 14, 1960, when a B-47 Stratojet bomber in which he was flying as copilot crashed shortly after takeoff at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. Although Despres had success- fully escaped the crashed aircraft, he re-entered the flaming wreck- age and rescued the aircraft com- mander, who was injured and trapped inside. Then Despres en- tered the wreckage a second time to rescue two other crew members but both had been killed in the crash. While Despres was engaged in his rescue attempt, the entire crew compartment was blazing and ammunition was exploding in the flames of a hundred thousand pounds of ignited fuel. Captain Despres, now stationed at Forbes Air Force Base, Top- eka, Kansas, will be awarded a bronze plaque, a certificate of heroic achievement, and five hundred dollars. The presenta- tion will be made in the near future.
