German Scientist Sees Early End
 To Red Satellite

RAVENSBURG, Germany, R- A leading German scientist said yesterday the Soviet satellite ap- pears to be losing altitude and may strike the earth's atmosphere tonight and disintegrate
 The statement was made by Dr. Hans Karl Paetzold of the famed Max Planck Scientific In- stitute. Paetzold said he based his belief on the fact that the satel- lite's signals were not heard in Germany yesterday.
 Paetzold theorized the satellite may already have come into con- tact with denser air, with result ing friction causing the satellite to heat up and destroy it's radio sending apparatus.

danger, for Israel will not be
patient Tor long. She must punch
a hole in the Arab blockade. for
both economic and psychological
reasons. The Israelis are fed up.
They would rather fight than
wait for the Arabs to be per-
suaded. They are only waiting
for the Arabs to fire the first
shot.
At the same time the Russians
are egging the Arabs on, and the
French are encouraging the
Israelis. This extra pressure
from countries with other axes
to grind doesn't help.
Hope Lies In Future
During the next several de-
cades. the outlook is generally
described as good for peace and
stability provided the area
desn't blow up or go Communist
IN the meantime. In 20 years the
Western -oriented, complex
ridden older generation OF Israeli
leaders will be gone, and the
country will be headed by a WELL
balanced new generation that
shows clear signs Of wanting to
blend in with the Middle East
Arabs and all.
At the same time, the present
Arab leaders. who were warped
by their reaction to colonialism
and who feel a compulsion TO ex-
ercise every ounce of their new
sovereignty and dignity, will be
gone. The younger generation
will take sovereignty for granted
and be willing to give up a little
for the common good-as the
more mature Western nations
are doing today.
Then there is no reason why
Israel cannot ultimately live
with the Arab countries. But ul-
timately is a long way off.

| And so 1t goes.
How to End Trouble
The Arab-Israeli dispute has
caused plenty Of trouble in the
past. 1t helped bring the Rus
slams into the Middle East. (Col
Nasser wanted arms to use
against Israel. and only Russia
would supply them); and it set
of the chain reaction which
ended in the five-month closing
Of the canal and loss of oil
supplies.
And since the dispute inter-
feres with every effort at calm
negotiation in this part Of the
world. it will certainly cause
trouble in the future.
What can and should be done
to end it?
The obvious answers are: Work
to secure settlement Just to
both sides: do what is in the
best interests Of the United
States.
! Most Of the people with whom
this reporter has discussed the
problem. both here and in Israel.
start with those two principles
and then stop dead. There doesn't I
seem to be any place to go from
there.
In fact, there are many per-

lieve America should do nothing
about the Arab-ISraeli dispute
that anything we reasonably
could try to do would be mis-
understood and resented by both
sides. Intervention would only
make matters worse. Time. one
is told. Is the great healer.
Others say that time in the
past has healed nothing in this
dispute. The situation has. in
fact. grown more critical with
time. And the worse it gets the
deeper America seems to be drag

the cay he called in III. ne still
was able to fulfill his obliga-
tions as the driver of his car
pool to drive his neighbors TO
work.
The agency refused the en-
ploye's sick leave claim and said
he would have to use his annual

that he actually was too sick to
workout not too sick to drive.
