 They added that the extremely complicated mechanism always remains aimed in fixed position in relation to the universe inde- pendent of the earth's motion.
 They said it can't be affected by other natural phenomena such as weather, sunspots and mag netic influences on polar flights.
 The gyro wheel, spinning at 12,000 revolution per minute, floats in a fluid and pivots on virtually frictionless sapphire bearings. The wheel is described as "a major break-through in the field of gyro technology" The Sc1entlStS indicated It might be Of very great importance in flight through outer space.
 The system is being applied to flight and fire control as well as navigation. The MT scientists have developed military applica- tions for all three uses.
 Inertial Guidance resulted from experiments begun in 1889 by Dr. Charles s. Draper, head of the MT Department of Aeronautical Engineering, who headed a group at MT which developed the Mark XIV sunsight. The gum sight, in it's first battle test, de- stroyed 32 attacking Japanese planes.

MT Scientists Unveil Foolproof Invention Which Can Guide Missile
 To Any Specified Spot On Earth

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, -Scien- tists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology CMITD have unveiled a heretofore secret invention which they say can guide any craft or missile to any specified spot on earth, free from enemy interference.
 The invention, called "Inertial Guidance" already has flown a B-29 bomber from Boston to Los Angeles.
 The MT scientists said, in un- yelling Inertial Guidance that 1t operates without magnetic com pass, radio or radar and without a glimpse of the earth, the sun or the stars. They said it needs no electronic signal or radar beam and therefore can't be jammed by enemy apparatus.

WHEN EDDY MERKY was still a lad
w it was predicted his fortunes would
take many a strange turn. And SO they
have. for the Munich born Merky has built
career out Of twisting his body into
shapes that would put pretzel to shame
Renowned throughout Europe as a side
show contortioniSt, Merky occasionally
gives impromptu shows in public like these
antics he went through recently in London.
When Merkys commuter train is crowded
for example. he has been known to avail
himself of the nearest baggage rack for
makeshift seat that none but the double
jointed could squeeze into or climb out of
At other times the rubber jointed artist
has given approaching bus and cab drivers
jolt by leaning out from the curb at so
seemingly impossible tilt that the drivers
have slammed on their brakes for fear
they'd run him over. But Merky swapping
his flexible frame upright with such spring
one can almost hear the "boingg' of
vibrating steel, merely smiles at the shaken
driver and hands him a pass for his show

ICY stations in the 40 nations
will be alerted to be particu-
Ilarly observant.
Two Types Of Warnings
The ICY warning system will
issue two types of warnings
alerts and special world inter-
Ivals--when major soler-terres-
trial disturbances are expected.
It is not economically feasible
for scientists to make intensive
worldwide observations every
day for the next 10 months. The
cost of film alone would be pro-
Ihibitive for smaller Observable
|rieS. Similarly, the rocket warn
ing system is essential for the
rocket launching program. for
which a limited number of rock
cts is available.
After due consideration of
conditions that are practicable
far in advance. a series of world
days has been selected for de-
tailed simultaneous observations
all over the world. There will be
two consecutive such days at
each new moon, others at quar-
ter moon and still others at times
OF expected meteor showers.
There also will be q series of

the scientists of all nations yes
terday. termed the I.G.Y Y. "one
of the great scientific adventures
Of our time"
The Chief Executive said that
while scientists say they cannot
possibly anticipate all of the
valuable scientific knowledge that
will result from their efforts
they believe that many of the
facts thus acquired will give us
new understanding and new
power over the forces Of nature. "
"As I see it. however," the
President added, "the most i'm
portant result of the Inter-
national Geophysical Year is the
demonstration of the ability of
people of all nations to work
together harmoniously for the
common good.
II hope this can become COM
mon practice in other fields OF
human endeavor."
