Criticized

The Russians did not do
such a good job" of aiming
Sputnik into its orbit, DR.. S.
Fred Singer, University Of
Maryland physicist, asserted
yesterday.
DR.. Singer, an associate pro-
fessor of physics, said he was
merely making an objective OBJ
servation with no attempt to
detract from Soviet accom-
plishments in getting their sat-
elite into space. He said he
was impressed by the rocket
propulsion, but the guidance
was not particularly outstand-
ing"
Speaking before a meeting of
the Chesapeake Section of the
American Association of Phys
les Teachers, the Maryland
physicist said Sputnik appar-
emily was launched at a very
poor angle" This, he explained,
resulted in its following too
elliptical an orbit around the
earth.

Queen Elizabeth I really wrote

In 1913, Col. Friedman gave
a lecture at the Folger Shake

piled professional cryptoanaly-
tical methods to the various
ciphers, acrostics and codes
which had been found" in
Shakespeare. He showed that
each was nonsense.
Shakespeare scholars clam
ored for a book.
But it wasn't until 1855.
shortly before Col. Friedman
retired from his Defense De-
partment work Che has since
gone back as a consultant) 4.
that he and his wife were able
to finish the book. The manu-
script won the Folger Shake
speare Library Literature Prize.
Praised by Critics
A shorter version, called THE
Shakespearean Ciphers Exam
ined," was published several
weeks ago by the Cambridge
University Press. 1t evoked the
highest praise from critics in
this country and in England
for its impeccable scholarship,
its wit and its lively reliability.
Col. Friedman, now Sc. is re-
tired from the Army but his
wife can't seem to get him away
from his work.
"Why retire?" he says. What
should anyone retire to? I'm
able to walk and to talk and to
sit and stand and think, and as
long as the department can use
me. I think it's my duty as a
citizen to stay on the job"

From the mystery of Shake

travel, but a Washington couple
has made the journey twice.
They are Col. and Mrs. Will
liam F. Friedman, Of $40 second

honored this week by their
latest publisher. Cambridge
University Press and Sidney
Kramer Books will hold a re-
ception for them at 6 pm.
Tuesday at the Sidney Kramer
shop, 1922 H street NV.
Col. Friedman and his wife,
DR.. Elizebeth Smith Friedman,
first met in 1915 in Geneva
ILL.,, where both were working
for a wealthy manufacturer on
a massive project designed to
prove that Sir Francis Bacon
really wrote Shakespeare's
plays.
Until then Mr.. Friedman had
been a geneticist and Mrs.
Friedman a student of litera-
ture.
4O-Year Task
From the study of "ciphers"
supposedly concealed in the
poets works, the two went on
to the study Of ciphers, codes
and cryptograms in general
They spent the next 40 years
in that study, including highly
important work for the United
States Government in World
War I and World War II.

Pollution Funds
BY JOHN W. STEP

The National Wildlife Fed
Grafton warned last night that
industrial interests and the Ell
senhower administration prob
ably would try next year to
block appropriations to con-
tinue Federal grants to curb
stream pollution.
In sounding the alarm for
conservationists the federation,
one of Americas largest con-
servation groups. charged:
/. Certain industries simply
don't want an effective pollu-
ton control program in the
Federal Government"
2. President Eisenhower and
some of his closest advisers
have indicated that if they can
help it there will be little or
nothing for sewage treatment
grants in the next Federal
budget"
Appropriations for the first
two years of the Federal aid
program have totaled almost
500 million. The total is not
quite the full amount author
lied by the Federal Water Pol
luton Control Act of 1856.
Beneficial Effects
In its official statement the
Federation UNDERSIGNED the
beneficial effects which the
grants program in less than
two years has had in stimulat-
ing communities in building
waste disposal facilities to I'M
prove the streams.
The United States Public
Health Service, which admins
tiers the program, has approved
683 grants totaling $56.1 mil
lion to date. The figure accord
ing to the federation, repre-
sents the Federal share in near
ly $275 million worth of con-
struction. AS of last summer
more than 1000 applications
were pending for $98 million in
Federal help toward construc-
ton estimated at a total of
$677 million.
The federation accused the
Federal Budget Bureau of de-
laying the aid program for
three months ION the pretext
of working out criteria."
Industrial interests are OPP
posed to a Federal agency
strong enough to crack down
on pollution of State
water which the States them
selves can not touch, the fed
Grafton charged.
Voices Distress
The Federation voiced dis
tresS over the recommendations
of a presidentially appointed
"joint Federal State = action
committee" which called for
terminating Federal grants aid
ing communities to dispose of
their waste. The committee said
it hoped the December Cover
nors' Conference in Hot
Springs, Ark, would indorse its
position.
The federation also offered a
verbatim quote from President
Eisenhower's news conference
of last October 3. When asked
what budget items could be cut
in the interest of economy, the
President replied:
well, I can give you one $50
million one, / think $50 million
a year we put into 1t, the Con-
gress put into it, and that is
this water pollution, the build
ing of that. That, ! think. poll
luton is strictly local in its
character, and / think it be-
longs to local government"
The federation's position was
summed up this way:
water pollution is a natural
resource problem that can't
wait on theories. Water short
ages are becoming too critical.
The deadly flood of contami-
mating wastes must be checked
and cleaned UP before it halts
the growth of cities, stiles in
dustrial expansion and further
! endangers the health and well
; fare of the American people. "
