(IP)—All signs indicated yesterday that the United States will make its second attempt this week to launch a slim Vanguard rocket carrying in its nose a small test satellite which .scien- _ 4^ tists hope will go into orbit around the earth. Best guess for the launching is Wednesday—but it is strickly a guess. The only thing certain hera is that no official word of the Vanguard launching is likely to be issued until it is soaring to¬ ward space. But there are strong indica¬ tions the attempt is near. The rocket which will be used to carry the six-inch test satel¬ lite—and eventually a 20-inch fully instrumented man-mada moon—into space has been suc- ces.sfully flieht tested. < Flop Was Costly to aoDrooriate about four bil- Two unidentified guests registered in the hotel aiso fied to!

Ziegfeld Beauty Ex'Show Girl Denied Relief Cheek Afier She Gave $900 to Children CHICACK) im—Pension of¬ ficials yesterday held out hope for a former Ziegfeld Follies queen who was cut from the old-age assistance rolls when she donated a small bonanza to under¬ privileged children. Annabell Whitford Buch- an, 79. known both as the "Gibson bathing giri" and "the peerless Annabelle," and her husband, Dr. Edward J. Buchan, 77, ran into trouble when they turned a $900 magazine fee over to the Chi¬ cago off-the-street club for children last July. Mrs. Buchan eamed the fee by writing a first-person ac¬ count of the Chicago Iroquois Theatre blaze in which 601 persons were killed in 1903 The 42-18-39 beauty was playing "queen of the fairy ballet" in "Mr. Bluebeard" when the tragedy happened. When the federal govern- , ment heard that Mrs. Buchan gave the $900 to charity, she «nd her huaband wer* dropped from the pension rolls for violating a rule that requires pensioners to use theii funds on personal liv¬ ing expenses. Cook County Welfare Di¬ rector Raymond M. Hilliard said, however, that if a real emergency existed the Buch- aus can make reapplication and be retumed to the wel¬ fare rolls immediately. The Buchans had been dis¬ tressed earlier when the gov¬ emment discontinued their monthly check of $114 for December and January. Under pension rules, thev oould not pe readmitted for another 2 months. "I guess they thought if we could throw $900 away to a bunch of little city waifs, we didn't need much assistance from them. But they were wrong. The money was ours. We gave it away—and that's that," the one-time toast-of- the-town beauty said.

Offices of the Mar¬ tin Company, which builds the Vanguard, have been a hubub of activity during the past week. Often at night the Vanguard tower on the cape is ablaze with lights of workmen busy around the rocket. Scientists have emphasized continually that if the test satel¬ lite does not go into orbit the first time it is sent up in the rocket, the test will by no means be a failure. The chief purpose of four scheduled launchings of small satellites is to iron out every bug in order to ascertain perfec¬ tion when the big satellite la flung up in March. U. S. Flier Freed BELGRADE.

Official News Release May be Hushed lentil Racket is Successfully Fired* Publicity on First Flop Now Avoided
CAPE CANAVERAL, fla. (IP)—All signs indicated yesterday that the United States will make its second attempt this week to launch a slim Vanguard rocket carrying in its nose a small test satellite which .scien-
_ 4^ tists hope will go into
orbit around the earth.
Best guess for the launching is Wednesday—but it is strickly a guess.
The only thing certain hera is that no official word of the Vanguard launching is likely to be issued until it is soaring to¬ ward space.
But there are strong indica¬ tions the attempt is near.
The rocket which will be used to carry the six-inch test satel¬ lite—and eventually a 20-inch fully instrumented man-mada moon—into space has been suc- ces.sfully flieht tested. <
