There is an interesting

Mitchell. The classic idea was
that a building should have a

end. At the top. something
had to be done to stop it

tresses and the like were
placed there to create a con-

Of climactic ending to the
building. When the Radio City
Building in the Rockefeller
complex was designed, this
was all changed. The build
ing was just cut on. 1t stopped
by itself. and became. in the
whole, a sculptured mass.
Thus 1t has been with
music. Tchaikovsky probably
brought the idea Of a formal
ending-the climactic con-
centration of interest-to a
height from which it has
never really recovered. We

During the ICY, scientists ex-
pect to gain knowledge of the
reasons for large decreases in
cosmic rays activity during some
magnetic storms, fiuctuation in

The series of simultaneous

Missile Claim
|Of AT Stirs
Army Dispute
BY the Associated Press

The Defense Department says
an Air Force research rocket,
the Lockheed XIII, has gone
faster than any other missile
containing instruments.
The department announcement
late yesterday did not indicate
how fast that was, however, and
the claimed record was chal-
lenged in other quarters.
The 40-foot, six.ton XIII was
reported in April to have been
launched from Patrick Air Force
Base, Fla, and to have reached
a speed Of about 9,24O miles an
hour. or IA times the speed Of
sound.
Other sources maintain that
an Army test missile, the Jupi-
ter-C, has reached the speed of
almost $4,000 miles an hour.
That speed was said to have
been attained in September on
Ia launching that reached an
altitude of $50 miles and a dis
lance of some $500 miles.
Sources close to the Army said
they doubted the Kilt had ex-
Iceeded the speed of the Jupi-
ter-C, which also was instru-
|mented.
The XIII was designed to
study the problem of re-entry
into the earth's atmosphere
after a supersonic flight through
space. The Air Force is seeking
means Of preventing missiles
from burning up like meteors
when they plunge back into the
heavier air close to earth.

needed for the growing atomic
power program.
The President noted that the
$4,000 Kilograms Of Uranium 235
now being made available for
peaceful purposes brings to a
total Of 100000 Kilograms the
amount of atomic fuel so far set
aside by the United States in the
atoms-for-peace program. This
amount is divided equally be-
tween domestic and foreign uses.
Valued at SIT Billion
At current prices the value Of
the 100000 Kilograms (roughly
ITO tons) Of Uranium 235 to be
sold or leased by the Acc is
about SIT billion.
Of the $4,000 Kilograms Of the
atomic fuel designated yesterday
to be made available for dis
tribution as needed over a period
of years, $4,000 Kilograms are set
aside to be leased in this coun-
try for licensed civilian purposes,
principally for power reactors.
The other 20, 800 Kilograms will
be sold or leased to other gov
ernments or groups Of nations
with which the United States
concludes agreements for CO.
operation in atomic power de-
velopment.
Mr.. Strauss said the 5000 kilo-
grams which the President has
promised would be made avail
able to the new International
Atomic Agency on terms to be
agreed on when that agency
comes into existence. will come
out of the total of $4,000 kilo-

lions Of times higher than those
which can be produced in any
atomic accelerators-that they
smash these particles and create
new cosmic rays known as sec
ondaries." It is these secondaries,
for the most part, that have
been observed and measured.
Even these have so much energy
that they have been detected at
considerable depths in the
earth's interior.
Measuring Devices Vary
Measurements Of cosmic rays
are made with a variety Of in
struments, such as Geiger coun-
tiers, special Photographic emul-
sions and q special kind of tele-
scope. Rockets have been an i'm
portant tool in measuring the
primary particles UP to attitudes
OF 100 miles. The proposed earth
satellites probably will detect
them at attitudes Of more than
/ 900 miles.
The magnetic field Of the
earth is the chief instrument
for analyzing their energy. They
are bent in this field In such a
way that low energy rays cannot
arrive at equatorial ATTITUDES but
tend to come In chiefly near
the magnetic poles. These are
the most cosmic-rainy spots on
earth. High energy components
Of the celestial rain, however,
arrive at all ATTITUDES.
Thus, observations of these
high energy particles are made
near the equator. Study Of the
low energy portion must be car
ried out in the Arctic and Ant
arctic. Recent measurements OF
the high energy rays has caused
considerable revision in think
ing about the location of the
geomagnetic equator and the
distribution Of magnetic fields
around the earth.
Tied TO Solar Storms
Recently it has become appar.
|ent that there Is q close relation
between cosmic radiations. They
increase markedly when there Is
10 great gas eruption on the solar
disk. These coincide with dis
turbances in the upper atmos-
phere of the earth which some
times are so severe as to black
out all radio communications.
Such violent solar flares generally
are followed by magnetic storms.
Detailed knowledge Of cosmic
rays will require simultaneous In

Safeguards Taken.
The Presidents announce
ment emphasized that distribu-
ton Of the nuclear material will
be subject to prudent safe
guards" against diversion to
non-peaceful purposes.
Mr.. Strauss said most of the
200 Kilograms of Uranium 235
previously made available for
civilian use here and abroad al
ready has been allocated or
committed, although very little
of it actually has been turned
over to the users.
He explained that the al
located atomic fuel is physically
distributed only as actually
needed over the period of q
domestic license or foreign agree
ment.
Mr.. Strauss said the point has
been reached where licenses
granted or being considered by
the Acc for nuclear power
plants in the United States win
require more than the 10000
Kilograms Of Uranium 235 made
available for domestic use by
presidential action February ~.
1856. Growing nuclear power
programs in friendly nations
also require additional uranium
supplies, he said.
1.-THE Presidents current ac-
ton therefore is another impor-
tant step in furthering both
domestic and foreign applica-
lions of atomic energy for peace
full purposes" Mr.. Strauss added.

be the object Of major investiga-
tions all over the world during
the next IS months Of the Inter-
national Geophysical Year.
The existence Of cosmic rays
has been known for the past SO
years, but where they come from
and their precise nature remain
uncertain. Answers to those
questions, says q National Acad-
envy Of Sciences statement, ARE
of major Importance to under
standing the universe. The an
swers involve both astrophysics
(physics Of the stars) and the
structure Of the atomic nucleus. "
The rays are known to con-
sist largely of streams Of cleo
trically charged particles. Most
of these particles are believed
to be protons, the positively
charged particles Of the atomic
nucleus, and high energy elec-
irons or combinations Of cleo
irons and protons. "The earth
is literally bathed in them" says
the Academy statement.
Affected by Sun
Their source is one OF the
major questions in astrophysics.
Some think they come from in
terstellar space. Others say they
come mainly from the sun. In
any case, solar activity has q
pronounced effect on their in
tenSity and behavior.
Always q major difnculty in
studying the phenomena has
been the masking effect Of the
earth's atmosphere. 1t acts as
a sort of cosrnic raincoat. In
general the fundamental cosmic
ray particles, which are called
primaries" do not reach the
earth's surface. When they strike
the outer edges of the atmos-
phere they smash into atmos-
pheric atoms and molecules.
