The firing tests will be conducted
in collaboration with Army ord

The last comparable observations,
Navy experts said, were made in the
early 1930s by Prof. Auguste Picard,
the Belgian physicist and 'Colum-
bus of the stratosphere," who made
ascents of more than 10 miles in an
air-tight metal ball attached to a
balloon.
New explorations planned with
robot rockets will pass far beyond
this frontier into regions known
only by the observation of sunlight,
the aurora borealis, meteors and the
reactions of radio waves.

by the combustion of liquid oxygen
and alcohol, will record and broad

about 6 minutes.

PARIS, Sept. IA. Indications
multiplied today that Gen. Charles
de Gaulle is planning a return to
the political arena during the COM

believe may be critical for both
France and Western Europe.
Gen. de Gaulles return would be
connected with the October ref

for the Fourth Republic, which the
Provisional Legislature is writing
1t apears fairly certain that Gen.
de Gaulle will be at the head of

Lions Only Two Points
Out Of First Place;
Pics Here Tonight

The Washington Boston hockey
feud shifts back to Uline Arena
ice tonight, where the Lions and
olympics tangle again at $3.50. They
met yesterday at Boston, with the
Lions coming out in front, 4-3, by
scoring a pair of goals in each OF
the first two periods and then
standing off the late Boston rush.
The victory leaves Washington
still in third place. but only two
points out of the lead. New YORK
moved in front of Baltimore yes
terday by taking an afternoon bat
tie, 6-1, in New York, and then
playing to q IL tie in Baltimore
at night.
There were no fights, such as
have marked recent Boston Wash
ington games, although there was
a little argument that came close
to geeting out of hand after Jir~my
Wilson scored the Lions second
goal in the first period. Last week
here, when they played to an S-8
tie, 1t was Phil Vitale and Penti
Lund in fight, during which
vitale reinjured the broken nose
he'd received earlier in Boston.
Wilson's goal yesterday broke a
IL tie and sent the Lions in front
to stay. He jumped out of the
penalty box to pick up a loose puck
and score unassisted, and the Pics
protested vigorously and unsuccess-
fully that he had jumped the gun,
that he was offside, and so forth.
Joe Ciuman tailed for the Lions
early in the game on short shot
after taking passes from Jack Riley
and Bud Foley. That was tied by
Johnny Pierson of Boston, to set
the stage for Wilson'S disputed tie
breaker.
Wilson came back with his second
goal of the evening early in the
second period, taking a pass from
Joe Ciuman from behind the net
and racking it home past Goalie
Red Henry. Joe Schertzel pulled
Boston close with his long shot three
minutes later, but Ken PARTS
backed handed in clincher for the
Lions that gave them an edge to
Withstand Boston's final goal by
Tommy Brennan, all in the second.
Three Washington players, Will
son, Guy Roach and Walter Babey,
missed the 8 o'clock train out
of Washington yesterday, making
Coach Jack Riley the most worried
man in the country until they ar
rived by plane in Boston only an
hour before game time. Riley told
them off with a biting lecture, as
the last thing he had said to the
team. before they left the dressing
room here last Friday night was
about that 8 o'clock train time.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23-It is a
trif1e difficult to explain the rea-
soning by which the All-America
Conference expelled the Miami
club one day for not meeting its
obligations and the next day al
lowed that club to draft the
most-sought-after player ana
trade him to the New York YAM
kees. The whole deal was a very
practical arrangement, however.
The ACC will have to have
an eighth club next season,
whether its in Miami, Baltimore
or Timbuctoo, and will have to
start it of with a stronger squad
than the Seahawks had this year.
Charley Trippi, Georgia's ALL
American back, is a possible
major league outfielder and the
Yankees, who can offer him both
football and baseball jobs, are
in the best position to outbld the
Chicago Cardinals Charley Bid
will, who hardly could use Trippi
on his girls softball club.
In baseball the Yanks likely
would be hampered by the new
bonus legislation, which forbids
farming player out if he is paid
more than 5000. =. Under
dual arrangement, they could
bid as high as necessary and
charge of most OF the bonus TO
football. Maybe it wouldn't
be such a bad idea fof other
baseball clubs to hook up with
football teams.
