Negative taken for January 28, 1960, Arkansas Gazette article "It Takes Cool Hands to 'Kill' Rocket Heads," B1:3. Specialist E-6 William Foust of the Army's explosive disposal team, based near Pine Bluff, Jefferson County, Arkansas, is among a specially trained group brought to the Shumaker Naval Ammunition Depot near Camden, Ouachita County, Arkansas, to clear its 'deserted' firing range of rocket heads. He is placing a demolition charge against the abandoned rocket head. A slip at this point would probably be fatal.
