An eventful scientific week
here has caused mankind to
revise lot Of preconceived no
tons about what will be found
in interplanetary space.
Topped by a spectacular In
ternational Geophysical Year
announcement of a b, broad belt
of possibly dangerous radiation
1000 miles out in space, the
week also featured supporting
data that added up to this
important fact:
Space in the immediate vi
cinity of the earth-from about
1000 miles to 10000 or SOS
about 10 times as full OF
gaseous matter as had beer
previously thought. Though
this gas is extremely thin. il
is still dense enough to cause
the earth's magnetic field to
be warped As degrees out OF
shape.
Vast Energy Waste
This magnetic warping is
causing the earth's rotation to
slow down so times as rapidly
as Scientists previously had be-
lieved. And. in turn. as the
earth slows down it is general
ing a totally wasted stock of
energy thousands of times as
great as all the electrical power
produced in the United States.
In addition, new studies in
dictate that hundreds of thou
sands of dust particleS-rather
than just a few dozen-Stud
every cubic mile of space" in
the area just above the earth's
atmosphere. And the atmos-
phere itself, in its upper
reaches. a couple of hundred
miles above the earth. is from
il to 40 times as dense as
scientists hitherto had believed.
These are a few Of the dis
coveries announced to the
world by scientists participant
ing in meetings held here by
the National Academy of Sci
ences and the ANGLICAN Phys
ical Society. The MAS, a
quasi-governmental group of
eminent American scientists,
had its 95th annual meeting at

President Eisenhower. whose
Pentagon reorganization plan
already Is under congressional
scrutiny. has provoked key
members Of the House Armed
Services Committee with his
assertion that I'VE must have
a single doctrine, q single
theory. Of defending our coun-
try"
Mr.. Eisenhower made his
statement before the United
States Chamber OF Commerce
convention here Wednesday
night. He also told the group
that I'VE cannot afford divided
councils that bring confusion. I"
Influential members Of the
House committee have made IL
plain during the FIRST two weeks
OF hearings on Pentagon re-
organization that they feel the
Eisenhower proposal represents
a demand for conformity OF
military opinion and takes the
Natio ndown the road toward a
single chief Of staff and a ma
tional general stan.
Charge Denied
The President has denied Wig
orouSly any intention OF Great
ing a single chief or "Prussian-
type" general STAFF and the ad-
ministration bill specifically
states that no such things are
contemplated.
But committee sources, who
say that any bill approved by
the group headed by Repre-
sentative Vinson, Democrat Of
Georgia, will contain adequate
safeguards against one-man
military rule. are puzzled by
Mr.. Eisenhower's call for "a
single doctrine. a single theory"
Of defense.
They say they will question
Defense Department witnesses
on this point after the hearings
resume tomorrow.
Two former chairmen Of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, General
Of the Army Omar N. Bradley
and Admiral Arthur w. Rad

Tatum Begins
Path Season
Transforming

Reese (Goose) Tatum, the
"Clowr Prince of Basket Ball", has
started his oath transforming tour
of the United States as a profes-
sional basket ball player following
his latest cage conquest, a trium-

other far-away lands.

known, has announced plans for a

The six foot, three inch Tatum,
with his broad grin and his 84-inch
arm span, has been a trademark
in professional basket ball for al
most a quarter of a century. Like
his baseball counterpart, Satchel

better with the years-his recent
performances in Japan, Australia,
