decision was arbitrary and en-

with 1t. "
Earlier. roads officials, who
have placed top priority on the
renovation of Route 1893. said
the bypass would be more eco
nomical than a widened single
lane highway through the center
of the Four Corners intersection.
The plan calls for a new two
lane branch of Route 1913 to carry
eastbound traffic one-way just
south of the intersection.
The divided highway. Mr..
Matthias said "does not at all

Other civic groups, including the
Allied Civic Group of Silver

CHICAGO. Feb. l8.--An anna
teur astronomer, highly regarded
by responsible professionals, has
reported discovery Of what he
believes are numerous small sat-
elites spinning around the earth
at a distance Of about ATS miles.
The moon is $40. 600 miles away.
The discovery. II verified by
observations Of other astrono-
mers around the world in coming
months, Is of tremendous military
and scientific significance. The
controller Of the miniature moons
could control the earth. The
close little satellites could greatly
assist man In his attempt to
travel into space and would make
possible for the first time highly
accurate measurements Of the
globe.
The discoverer. John p. Bagby,
disclosed his findings In a paper
presented to astronomers at the
Adler Planetarium here. They
describe Mr.. Bagby as an am
ateur" only In the sense that he
does not earn his living from
astronomy. He is a highly
trained electronics engineer, and
the Adler astronomers declared
he has enough technical skill
and know-how to make an inn
portant discovery.
Others Check Observations.
Mr.. Bagby is . member Of the
Burnham Astronomical Society
here, the American Meteor So
ciety and the Royal Astronon-
ical Society of Canada. Astron-
omers at Adler said he could
probably qualify as a profess
sional except that during work.
ing hours he heads mechanical
design for the Cook Research
Laboratory. which is engaged in
intricate national defense work.
Mr.. Bagby's discovery was
made with a 6-inch telescope he
built himself. Mr.. Bagby has re-
cruited a team OF skilled anna
teur astronomers to help him
identify the groups Of objects in
the sky. He has requested pro-
fessional astronomers to double
check his observations.
The 'moonlets" may be tray-
cling as fast as $4,000 miles an
hour. Mr.. Bagby believes, taking
only an hour and a half to circle
the earth. He said most of them
appear to be less than 100 feet
In diameter. but he declared this
estimate was based on insuffi-
cient observation.
The reported discovery is' In
line with other scattered reports
over the years of small heavenly
bodies circling the earth at |
heights of a few hundred miles. |
Such tiny bodies extremely close
to the earth are particularly |
suited to discovery by amateurs |
since the large professional tele-
scopes of professional astron-
omers outrange them.

United States Communist.
Potash served three years on

today to determine whether Po-
land would receive him.

The Polish Embassy said it was
expecting Potash, a native of
Russia who never became a
United States citizen, hut did not
know when he would arrive.
The State Department declined
comment until a check could be
made into Potash's status.
The Government yesterday
consented to q court order al
lowing Potash, currently free in
$4,000 bail, to ask the Polish
Embassy for a visa to take up
permanent residence in Poland.
Potash, IS, was released from
the Federal penitentiary in
Leavenworth, Kan, last Decem-
ber 8.
Trial Set March /.
He faces a new trial, scheduled
for March l, on a charge of
knowingly belonging to an or
ganization (the Communist

British Start Talks
With U. 5. on Deal
For Guided Missiles
BY Elton c. Foy
Asseeiatsd Pres. ssaH Writer .

Asseeiaied Pres. Ssuff Writsss
Great Britain, with much of
her guided missile program still
In the development stage. has
been talking with the United
States about buying some Amer
lean weapons.
The talks. still In preliminary
phases with any formal negotia-
tions vet to follow. involve the
United States Armys Corporal
missile. a Defense Department
spokesman said today in answer
to a reporters inquiries.
The Corporal is a "surface-to-
surface" missile. intended for
bombardment Of enemy targets
at ranges greater than are COW
cred by conventional artillery.
There has been speculation
that the Corporal can strike. with
effective accuracy, up to 40 or
SO miles. The Army says its
range Is "far beyond" that Of
artillery, which covers up to 80
miles with big guns.
In Mass Production.
The Corporal is produced for
the Army jointly by Firestone
Tire & Rubber Co. and Gilfillan
Bros, Inc. It has been in mass
production for more than q year.
Any agreement for British pur-
chase of the missile presumably
would be made through the De-
fense Department and Army.
The spokesman said published
reports that the British gov
ernment already has purchased
some other American missiles ap-
peared premature, adding that
the only missile involved SO far
is the Corporal, and that in that
case negotiations are only in the
discussion stage.
The Corporal can be equipped
with either a standard explosive
Warhead or an atomic charge.
Its speed is something over 1000
miles an hour, several times the
speed of sound and far too fast
for interception by any existing
planes.
In firing, it starts out pro-
PEELED by a rocket motor. During
its flight. a guidance system
takes control to steer the missile
toward its precise target
massed tanks, troops, ammuni-
tion dump, bridges or rail yards.
Possible Purpose.
It is assumed here that British
interest in the weapon is for
possible defensive use against a
cross-channel invasion attempt,
such as the Germans hoped for
but never launched in World
War II. Similarly, the weapon
could be as useful for, British as |
for American forces in defense |
Of lines in Western Europe |
against Russian attack.
Reports Of British problems in
guided missile development have
been published in connection
with a British white paper"
the general air de-
Tense system problems Of Eng
and.
These reports say British re-
search is far enough along to
expect equipment OF planes with
missiles before the
end of 1856. but suggest that
surface : to surface missiles
might not be general available
much before 1860.
Any purchase of American
missiles of that type presum-
ably would be temporary meas
IRE to provide Britain with
weapons until she Is prepared
for production on her own.

French Vote Today
To Decide if Pineau
Will Be New Premier
sy III. A..oeis,sd Press

PARIS. Feb. 18.-Socialist
Christian Pinsau put his proposed
cabinet and political platform on
the firing line today, asking the
National Assembly to confirm
him as Frances 21st postwar
Premier. He was given no more
than an even chance for ap-
:sprosal.
II II. Political wrangling during the
I. Assembly debate could postpone
"a the Deputies vote until late to-
!: night.
I'll: Mr.. Pineau told the Assembly
.she intends to work for quick
/. ratification Of the Paris treaties
.ssffor German rearmament.
\, "If we wish to remain faith
,,ssful to our alliances and to
atlantic solidarity" said Mr..
Pineau. 1--WE must then bring to
..an end our prolonged discussion
which has only divided France
too much. The government will
4 seek to obtain, in the shortest
!. possible time, the final ratifica-
B ton Of the Paris and London
agreements"
,s Wants Talks With Russia.
n Mr.. Pineau said he also would
(. work for new Diplomatic nepo-
tiations with Russia, greater
{ trade between East and West,
an armaments agency for the
six nations Of the Western Eu-
{ ropean Union and worldwide
disarmament.
III Victory for Mr.. Pineau would
end the two-week cabinet crisis
and make him the first Socialist
Premier since the resignation of
Paul Ramadier's government in
s1947.
The Premier designate needed
o majority Of the votes cast
rather than of all 627 Assembly
members. However, anything
less than the continuing support
of about $40 members would
leave his government on shaky
ground. Some unofficial uapu-
lations last night gave him less
than 290 sure hackers.
/ Typical Socialist Program.
Mr.. Pineau's program was
typical Of a Socialist candidate.
1t included provisions for wage
increases and continuance of
former Premier Pierre Mendes-
Frances negotiations to grant
more authority to Frances rest
i've North African protectorates.
] The bulk of Mr.. Pineau's firm
support came from fellow Social
lists and members Of center
groups. The Communists on the
left and far right wing elements
-stoutly opposed him.
MIR. Pineau's cabinet list in
cluded himself as foreign min
lister as well as Premier and two
deputy premiers, Robert Schu-
man of the Popular Republican
Movement (MRP). and Yvon |
Delbos. Mr.. Delbos is a member |

orders. Two other Gaullists
