MURTHER comment On cotton is difficult without knowing exactly what the cotton talkers were talking about, a little bit more about their conclusion, and, too, more about how much the talkers themselves know what, they were talking about. The fact is that they had a most unenviable task for getting figures on this trade is not far away from Impossible.

Washington, Oct. 12.
America's Pioneer moon rocket roared today to an altitude of 79,212 miles-more than third of the distance to the Moon-and then started falling back to Earth.
Barring the unexpected, the history-making space traveller was expected to plunge into the atmosphere and burn up over the South Atlantic Ocean tomorrow morning.

The Hongkong Committco
scientists announced that the rocket was still send ing back valuable data to earth-data which proved encouraging to future space travellers, They said there were indications that the band of radiation circling the earth grows less as the planet is left
behind.
27 Hours After
Dr Lewis Dunn, President of the Space Technology Laboratories in California, told a news conference that the moon rocket started hurtling back toward Earth exactly 27 hours after it was fired from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The Defence Department announced shortly afterward that the rocket was 64,395 miles above the Earth's surface.
The Department also said the rocket was expected to re- enter the Earth's atmosphere in the area of the mid- South Atlantic Ocean if its retro-terminal rocket did not fire. Two attempts to fire the retro-rocket were unsuccessful.
Dr
Dunn said the rocket would strike the atmosphere with the same speed it left at-nearly 25,000 miles an hour-and “burn up."
