Anti-U. 5. Bias

LONDON, Dec. IL (R.-I
Twenty-seven members of the
House of Commons called on the
government today to halt dis
termination against Americans
by IAN irresponsible minority of
British citizens"
A motion to this effect was in
Itroduced in Commons as an ex-
lpreSsion of opinion, rather than
as a subject for debate. 1t was
signed by "a Labor members and
3 Conservatives.
The motion was prompted by
the disclosure that a British
landlord had evicted a United
States Ari Force major because
of American policy in the Mid
die East. Spokesman for the
American Embassy and United
States military bases in the Lon
don area described it as an iso-
lated incident.
NAhuICtlNC Attltuuc
The statement to Commons
suggested that the House:
Views with concern the evil
|dence that an irresponsible mi
nority of British citizens has
been, and is, displaying an atti-
tude of vindictiveness, hostility
and prejudice toward citizens of
the United States of America
resident in this country:
"Deplores the fact that in
some cases punitive measures
have been taken against Ameri-
cans, such as evicting them from
their homes and refusing them
services readily available to Brit
ish citizens;
And calls upon Her Majesty's
government to take such steps as
may be necessary to bring an
end to this regrettable manifes-
tation of racial and national dis
examinations"
Mixture of Views
The eviction Of Assistant Air
Attache Eugene Sabatini of
Bristol, Pa, brought out a mix
ture of views on the present state
of relations between Britons and
the 10000 Americans in this
country.
The Evening Standard said
the incident unfortunately is
typical Of a widespread attitude
of mind" The newspaper said
Americans have been cold-shoul-
dered in shops and refused gaSo-
line at Service stations.
American spokesman said
lBritiSh-American relations at
the personal levels have re-
manned surprisingly good despite
tensions stirred by the two gov
ernments' differences over the

to go into an orbit around the
earth at $4,000 miles an hour.
The sphere will be crammed
with instruments and automatic
radio transmitters for sending
data back to earth.
How long the first satellite will
stay aloft depends on how high
it can be fired, DR.. Hagen said.
If it reaches level of about
800 miles, it could continue
whizzing around the earth in
an eleiptical orbit for about a
year. But if it should climb
only to 100 miles, its life aloft
might be only an hour or two.
Then it would fall into the thick
atmosphere and burn up like a
meteor.
A factor in the life Of the
satellite will be the density of
the atmosphere, and scientists
don't know yet how dense the
atmosphere is at levels above $50
miles.
In an elliptical orbit. a satel-
lite might swing as low as 200
miles above the earth. but then
ride out to about 1900 miles
at one point.
Specifically. the satellite looks
simple. But the eye doesn't see
the mountains OF abstract scien-
ttfic data compiled before any
thing was done and the intricate,
immensely powerful rockets
needed to send screaming sky
ward an initial total weight of IL
tons.
Prototypes Of satellites are be-
ing made here, but the actual
spheres which will be used are
produced by the Detroit firm of
Brooks a. Perkins.
How They Are Made
To make a satellite. you cut
out a circular disc OF magnesium,
put it in a lathe and spin" and
disc it into a hemisphere. The
process is repeated for a second

hemisphere. Then the two are
fastened together with screws.
Into the sphere go about 10
pounds of amazingly compact
radio, electronic and data-gath-
ering instruments.
Built up on the magnesium
surface is a minute layer of gold,
then on top of that other metal
lie surfaces, the whole producing
a high polish which makes the
satellite look like an oversize
Christmas tree ornament. These
surfaces are designed to control
the inflow and outflow of heat.
The radio and electronic
equipment must operate within
certain temperature ranges and
if the special coating wasn't put
on, too much heat might come
in from the suns radiation or
internal heat escape into the
intense cold of the upper alti-
tudeS.
Four radio antennas, each
like the ones on an automobile,
snap out into position when the
satellite is released from the
third rocket stage.
