By Thomas R. Henry
Science Editor of The Stor

A Naval Research Laboratory
physicist claimed today to have
made something move faster
than light.
Harold j. Peake of the Navy
scientific staff declared he had
caused a spot of light to move
across the face of a cathode ray
tube, similar to a television
screen, at a speed of 10000
inches in a millionth of a second.
The speed of light is about
$4,000 inches in a millionth of
a second.
Unless quite rigidly explained,
this observation by Mr.. Peake
and his associates might be con-
Sidered about the most revolu-
tionary in the history of science.
Theoretically it would upset the
whole concept of the universe, as
developed by modern astrono-
mers and physicians. For the

all speeds, the most basic con-
slant in creation. According to
the relativity equation, the mass
of any material prarticle moving
at the speed of light would be
infinite.
Mr.. Peake stresses, however,
that no material particle is in
volved in the motion he has
measured. He call the phenom-
enon writing speed" It does
not, he says. mean that current
scientific theories must be radi-
cally revised. But his moving
light spot does record the minut-
est particle of time which man
ever has been able to observe.

have been working in the field of

From the new observations,
wAlch have not yet reached the
reportable stage, some conclu-
sions are being reached on the
pakticle size Of this dust and its
depth.
Reports on Eclipse.
DR.. Hagen also reported on
the laboratory's observations
during last years total eclipse
of the sun at Khartoum, in the
Egyptian Sudan. These now are
being analyzed so that some of
the conclusions are in sight. The
major problem, DR.. Hagen said,
still remains a mystery.
The sun is surrounded, at a
distance of about 5000 miles
above its visible surface, or
photosphere. by a pearl-colored
ring which is visible only at the
time of a total eclipse or by
means Of special instruments
The heat within this ring of
light. or corona. is about l mil
lion centigrade while the heat
of the face Of the sun is less
than 10000 centigrade.
Navy observations with the
radio telescope. DR.. Hagen said,

temperature. He said this cor
ona apparently is composed of
completely ionized hydrogen

their electrons and protons. The

measured against the sacrificeS
to be made. It is an encourag-
ing thing that they are lined up
solidly in favor of the idea.
So far as Belgium is concerned.
there are some particularly COM
pelling arguments in favor OF
closer coordination in Europe
on the economic. military and
political levels. These start with
the basic necessity of earning the
national bread and butter.
Until recently. Belgium's econ
omic situation was the object OF
ill-concealed envy on the part OF
her neighbors. AS any former
GI who ate ice cream on the
streets of Brussels can testify.
Belgium came through the war
in better shape than most Eu-
ropean countries. Thanks to a
speedy liberation. her industrial
machine survived intact, and her
people were soon we'll on the way
to recovery from the effects OF
occupation.
Belgium Lived Well.
While less fortunate countries
tightened their belts and plugged
the theme of austerity, Belgium
ate high on the hog. Her factories
concentrated on turning out the
things that average people
wanted after the years Of priva-
ton. There was no lack of GUS
tomerc in Europe, and very little
competition.
The policy paid big dividends.
Before the war. Belgium had the
lowest wage standard. and one
of the lowest living standards. in
Western Europe. Today. she is
better fed, clothed and housed
than any other country that
went through wartime occupa-
tion. Her workers get the highest
wages and pay reasonable prices
for what they buy. Industrial
production is at record peaks
40 per cent above prewar levels
and Is per cent greater than two
years ago. Her liberal economic
policy went a long way toward
creating the atmosphere of
cheerful stamina that Americans
find so congenial.
The economic picture, how
ever. is not entirely rosy. An in
creasing number of economic
prophets come up with doleful
predictions about the future.
A chronic shortage of dollars,
brought about by a normal trade
pattern of importing from the
United States and exporting to
Europe. has created a financial
problem that neither the Bel
gianS nor a resident squad of
American economic experts have
been able to solve completely.
The postwar European de-
mand for consumer goods has
leveled off. And as hard-preSsed
countries clamp import restric-
tions on Belgian products, Bel
gian firms are beginning to feel
the pinch.
Industry Suffering.
Some of the country'S most
important industries. particu-
larly coal and textiles, are in bad
shape. Unemployment Is an in
creasing problem. The industrial
plant, suffering from a lack Of
investment since the war. is be-
coming obsolete. Belgian indus
trialists are watching the renais-
sance of Germany's competitive
industry, and are getting the
jitters.
There is a feeling that the
country. may be living beyond it's
