polar regions would fire radio
signals at the spinning Mouse
as it completed an orbit Of the
earth every 80 minutes.
The radio signals would trig-
ger a tiny transmitter. which
through the use of magnetized
tape, would compress the instru-
ment findings of As minutes into
80 second broadcasts. Equip

The transmitter probably would
be powered by a solar battery to

the payload.
Here are some of the things
DR.. Singer feels such a floating
laboratory might accomplish:
Light reflected from the earth
could be measured to give a pic
ture of total cloud coverage. lead
ing to long-range weather FORE
casts for as much as an entire
season.
Magnetic storms. strange pc
riods of activity on earth, could
be traced to their source in the
sun. Any information developed
from this source might help solve
serious communication disturb
ances which have puzzled radio
and telephone engineers.
Rays Study Vital
The question of the origin Of
cosmic rays might be made
clearer through instrument OBJ
servation. Since scientists feel g
systematic study of cosmic rays
might lea dto a better under
standing of the nature of nuclear
forces. the possibilities in this
field, alone. are tremendous, ac-
cording to DR.. Singer.
A trail of luminous sodium
emitted from the satellite could
be studied fro mthe earth and
would lead to information on
winds and turbulence in the
outer layers of our atmosphere.
Equally important, says DR..
Singer, such a project could
pave the way for fight into
interplanetary space"
DR.. Singer has not been un-
mindful of the military value of q
satellite program. frequently
pointing out that military knowl-
edge is a by-product of almost
any scientific undertaking.

Just Like Hollywood,
Only This Time Its Reo|
By JAMES E. ROPER

You've seen it in the movies
. dozen times: A group of brainy
scientists sitting around a table
and planning flight into space.
This time it was real.
The scene was the conference
room at the White House. At
one end of the room was a great
mahogany table-just below a
wall clock which seemed to tick
off the seconds of history.
At the table sat an appropri-
ate-looking group. There was a
bald man who looked as if he
might be bullying with scientific
secrets. There was a youthful,
sharp-eyed scientist with horn
trimmed glasses. For foreign
flavor. there was man with a
British accent. And calm
faced man-like successful
business executive-to add sta
bility to the group. e.
z In their midst, however, was
the familiar figure of James C.
Hagerty. White House press
secretary.
4 He and his battery of SCI
entists faced 40 reporters and
30 photographers who had
crowded into the room to get
what Mr.. Hagerty had described
In advance as IAN important an
nouncement."
3 For hours before, the report
ers had speculated on what the
announcement might be. Every
body in the press room passed
around a rumor that it would
involve space satellites. Every
body laughed at that one.
But when the reporters were
In the conference room, seated
In STRAIGHTFORWARD chairs or
standing against the wall, they
laughed no longer.

Mr.. Hagerty, that the President
has approved plans by this coun-
try for going ahead with the
launching of small, unnamed
earth-circling satellites :"

The contest is the major fund

Impressario Presides
Connie B. Gay, country music
impressario well known in the
Washington area for his pro-
grams over Station WARL, is
master of ceremonies for the
two-day event. Jimmy Dean and
his Texas Wildcats, a country
music combo, came along to
play for the spectators during
contest intermissions. Sally
Starr, country music disc Jockey
from Philadelphia, brought a
bus-load of 40 fans down from
the Keystone State.
There was no separation of
the professionals from the ANA
teurs in the contest. AS one
judge explained it, that would
be impossible since every country
musician is apt to get five dol
lars for playing at a Saturday
night dance once in a while.
First contestant to arrive was
11-year-old Dean Campbell of
Route /. Fairfax. He has been in
the contest every year since it
started and twice wound up in
the finals with his yodeling. He
used to live at Culpeper and
