Satellite 10 STAY
AIoft a Year,
Experts Agree
Navy Authorities
Soy Rocket Shell
Is Losing Altitude

BY the Associated Press
Experts at the Naval Re-
search Laboratory here esti-
mated last night that the
Soviet satellite would stay up
for at least a year.
At the same time they said
reports were true that the third
stage rocket up in the sky with
Sputnik had lost altitude and
was speeding up.
But they added:
Reports that the rocket
shell is disintegrating seem
highly unlikely at this time"
The statement was issued by
DR.. John P. Hagen. director Of
Americas Project Vanguard at
the Blue Plains research lab
oratory.
Circles World in 96.1 Minutes
I'VE estimate the satellite
will stay up for at least a year.
DR.. Hagen said. He said 1t APP
peared to remain in a fairly
constant orbit with an around
the-world-fiight period of 96.l
minutes. Its closest point to
the earth is ITO miles and the
most distant is $40 miles. and
should remain aloft for some
time to come" he added.
DR.. Hagen said the empty
rockets density was low COM
pared to the small dense mass
Of the satellite.
The effect Of the earth's
atmospheric drag would ma
turally be expected to pull the
rocket shell down faster than
the satellite and at the same
time, because Of its lower dem
sity. the shell would increase
its velocity as 1t falls closer
and closer to the EARTH" he
said.
Signs appeared to some
American scientists yesterday
that "the beginning Of the
end" might have set in for the
nose cone and the third-stage
rocket that hurled the satellite
into space.
Shell Leads Satellite
The research laboratory also
said the Photographic observa-
tons made at Salisbury. Aus
tralia, on October ii indicated
that the shell Of the final
rocket stage was leading the
satellite by "a minutes.
The experts said that Accord
ing to calculations the satellite
must have been separated from
the shell with q relative veloci-
ty Of 81 feet per second.
After separation the shell
has slightly smaller orbit,
which will continue to grow
still smaller with each passage
around the EARTH" they said.
During the first passage
around the earth the shell over
took the satellite and will con-
tinue for some time to lead
it by an amount which is in
creasing % seconds per day."
they said.
Code Still UnsOlved
Meanwhile. American experts
on satellites indicated that they
hoped soon to be able to de-
cipher the cryptic signals the
Soviet satellite has been send
ing back to its masters in
Moscow.
Some scientists believe that
the automatic radio signals
coming from the satellite are
coded messages giving the Rus
slams scientific observations on
the nature Of things on the
fringe of space.
A spokesman for Project
Vanguard said:
I'VE still have not been able
to evaluate the information
being sent. We are working on
it and hope to be able to de-
cipher 1t before too long"
DR.. Hagen and his assistants
are studying recordings Of sig
mails picked UP from the satel-
lite. He added that he hoped
to draw some conclusions soon.
The Soviets sent their satel-
lite spaceward eight days ago,

ballistic missile rocket launcher,

Artists in Action

Since the world is divided on so
many things, this may be good time to
choose up sides on art. william Green,
%, holder Of a British government
scholarship at the Royal College of Art,
has created stir in London by paint
ing" with the action method" Mr..
Green's method, in brief, is to spread a
canvas on the floor, throw paint on it,
shuttle on 1t, ride a bicycle on 1t and
then sprinkle 1t with sand ito give it

as the "gruff old dean Of British art"
calls Mr.. Green's products modern rub

Alfred'S evaluation, but there is some
thing intriguing about Mr.. Green's "ac-

preston that artists are unconventional
fellows anyway, and the idea Of man

Sound Strategy

The American Legion has set a
precedent which might have great merit
for many organizations-and, as a
matter of fact, for many individuals.
BY unanimous vote, the Legion conven-
ton resolved, in effect, henceforth to
mind its own business" BY definition
applicable to its interest in legislation,
this boils down ito matters concerned
with veterans affairs and national de-
fense"-rather than to matters totally
unrelated" Expressing approval of the
Legion'S decision does not imply that
the veterans organization has been a
marked offender. There is reason to
believe, however, that any organization
with special qualifications can be most
effective when dealing with problems in
those special fields. The Legion has
these qualifications and interests within
the area defined. Concentration, rather
than scattering of fire, has proved its
value in military tactics. 1t may do
likewise for the Legion in legislative
matters.

Improving the Mall

It is a rare occasion when highway
engineers and park conServationistS see
eye to eye on trafflc-expediting prof.
ect. Especially noteworthy, therefore, is
the agreement reached between the
National Park Service and the District
Highway Department over plans for de-
pressing Twelfth street Northwest
through the Mall area. The two agencies
favor the project for different reasons,
however. The Park Service Is interested
in keeping as much croSS-traf11c as pos
sible OF the Mall in It's sweep from the
Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial, while
the highway and trafilc engineers are
seeking to expedite the flow Of trafflc be-
tween the central area Of the city and
the waterfront.
The Twelfth street improvement
long has been on the local highway
plans for the future. With the immi-
nent construction of the Southwest
Freeway and the redevelopment of
Southwest Washington, the time has
arrived for immediate consideration Of
the Twelfth street undertaking. This
will involve the construction Of four
overpaSSeS to carry traffic at Mall level
over the depressed street, which is to
be made q nmited-access northbound
highway south Of Constitution avenue.
Ultimately 1t is planned to depreSs Four
tenth street similarly where 1t passes
through the Mall, but that project will
have to await the expected removal of
the streetcar tracks from Fourteenth
street sometime in the future.
When this long-range grade separa-
ton work is completed, there will re-
main only one major Mall improvement
to be carried out. This is the removal
Of the temporary buildings remaining
from two world wars. AS long as the
tempos escape demolition the Mall vista
will be spoiled.

FiIinq q Void

The appointment of Assistant Sec.
rotary Of Labor Rocco Siciliano as special
assistant to the President for personnel
management fills void that has existed
since the departure of Philip Young
from the Civil Service Commission. For
the past six months there has been little
or no liaison between the White House
and civil service of1icials. Mr.. Young,
a close friend of Mr.. Eisenhower, had
served actively both as chairman of the
CSC and as personnel adviser to the
President, but the latter role dwindled
In Importance after the new csc chair
man, Harris Ellsworth, took ofiice. This
was not the fault of Mr.. Ellsworth, how
ever. The trend at the White House
apparently has been to lean less and
less on the commission for advice.
The decision to name a special pres
idential assistant, independent of the
CSC, to advise on civil service matters
is in line with recommendations Of the
Senate and House Civil Service Com
mitteeS These committees have felt that
the Craftsmanship Of the commission
was full-time job, whereas Mr.. Young
had divided his time between the COM
mission and his White House office. Now
Chairman Ellsworth will concentrate on
commission affairs, leaving to Mr.. Sicil-
iano the task Of keeping the President
informed on personnel problems, includ-
ing such controversial topics as pay
raises and additional dement's. Mr..
Siciliano is said to have the confidence
Of the congressional committees and, it
is indicated. Of employee organizations.
Certainly the Governments employees
should have a representative at all times
at the White House, ready to explain
their problems and to keep the President
informed Of their needs.

the fostering Of the theory

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
Behavior of Cosmic Rays Is Studied
By THOMAS R. HENRY

The constant rain Of par
ticles from space - cosmic
rays - will be studied near
the top Of the earth's atmos-
phere during the next few
months by University Of Chi
cago physicists at Prince Al
bert. Saskatchewan, as part
Of the International Geo.
physical Year program.
1t has been determined that
this particular spot is so To-
Gated with respect to the
magnetic pole that especially
large numbers Of low-energy
particles can be detected.
This fur-trading center Of
10000 population, located 290
miles north Of the United
States Canadian border on a
line directly north Of Glas-
gov. Mont, was selected be-
cause at its latitude incidence
Of cosmic rays in high.
Arrangements for the studies
were made through the Ca
madam ICY Committee
To Use Sky-HOok Balloons
The physicists, all from the
Enrico Fermi Institute for
Nuclear Studies, will be led
by Peter Meyer, assistant
professor Of physics. With him
will be Kenneth G. Yates, a
graduate student, and Rich
ard Blenz, technician.
The group is equipped to
launch five sky-hook balloons
to attitudes Of 100000 feet
during their five to six week
stay. The first balloon will
be used to determine the
normal" cosmic ray tnten-
sity in the area. Subsequent
launchings will be made upon
telephone notification from
the Enrico Fermi Institute
Of q change in cosmic ray
intensity such as is associated
with solar flares.
Suspended from each bal
loon will be two recoverable
gondolas. One, weighing 100
pounds. is q pressure tank
containing a complete labo-
ratory for recording cosmic
ray composition and intenSi-
ties. The other is a 12-pound
apparatus which uses tran
sistorized circuits and trans
mits data back to the field
station.
These two studies are a
continuation Of measure
ments made at Brentwood.

King Hookon

Haakon VII lived a long life doing
good for his country. Dead now at IS,
he Is mourned by the Norwegian people
as a monarch who served them with
unfailing distinction ever since they
severed their ties with Sweden in 1905.
Throughout the more than so years OF
his reign, he was one of them, always
close to them sharing with them all the
fine traits Of their national personality
including, among others, physical
ruggedness. resoluteness of spirit, open
heartedness and an unwavering devo-
ton to freedom and independence.
This latter characteristic, as free
men everywhere remember, expressed
itself with great and dramatic force
when Hitler's legions invaded Norway
in the early days of the Second World
War. Like the rest of his courageous
countrymen, excepting the relatively
few who followed the traitorous Vidkun
Quisling, King Haakon CONTEMPORARY
refused to collaborate with the Nazis.
Instead, in keeping with his peoples
wishes, he and his parliamentary lead
ers removed Observation-Disclosures enemy
gunf1re-to embattled Britain, where
he gave inspiring leadership to under
ground resistance groups and to the
Free Norwegian forces that joined in
forging the ultimate Allied victory over
Der Fuehrers tyranny.
AS for the happier times of his
rule, Haakon VII constantly enjoyed the
esteem and affection of the Norwegian
people for the uprightness Of his per-
sonal life, the dignity Of his way of
doing things and his ability to play the
role Of monarch without losing the COM
mon touch or obscuring those warm
human qualities that his countrymen
found so endearing Succeeded now by

We do not need to consult
Governme e mt statistics to
know that there has been
initiation in the last genera
ton. Prices nearly doubled
from World War I to World
War II. and they have APP
proximately doubled since
then.
Greatly increased debts, or
credit. is one reason for this
economic change in a nation
that has plenty Of raw ma
terials. manpower and know
how.
Installment buying Of
everything from beds to
bridges is our custom now.
Spending borrowed money
and m a king deferred-pay-
ment purchases stimulates
business, but when payment
is made business Is neces-
sarily depressed. Our public
and private policy has been
to pile up debts until they
are astronomical. These debts
cannot be paid In honest
dollars without a severe de-
preston, the natural correc-
tive method in a free-enter-
prise society. so gradual in
flation Is resorted to as the
easy way out. Let Joy be
unconflned and print more
paper money and bonds. The
vicious circle Of upward
spiraling prices-debts-wages
has become the accepted way
Of life in a nation that should
have known better. 1t Is a
matter of MANAGEMENT.
When wages and costs 60
up. prices must inevitably
follow. Business cannot go
on If there is no profit. When
wages are forced up by the
use or threat Of a strike,
employers must pass in
creased costs on to the public
or else go out OF business. In
general we have competition
in business, which keeps
profits down. to a reasonable
level. However. we have fix
ing Of steel prices by a few
companies. the Governments
pegging Of prices of farm
products at unnatural high
levels. and labor monopoly in
those lines of work controlled
by unions.
I see no solution for infla-
ton unless we go through
another depression. That
would mean forecloSing mort
cages and breadlines. And
since that would be hard
on politicians as well as the
people. l do not look for 1t
soon. So spend your savings
and go further into debt, for
the boom and the bomb will
burst about the same time
as the bubble of modern civil
ization. Paul j. Thomas.
