Mother of Eight
 Booked for Kidnap Of New Born Baby

NEW YORK, R - A mother of eight children was booked today on a kidnap charge, a few hours after 1O-day-old Lisa Chionchio was found unharmed and well in a Brooklyn apartment.
 The woman, Jeanne Iavarone, 43, protested all night that she was innocent. Police said she had been married twice and had eight children, seven of them living and in other homes, including four at orphanages or foster homes. The youngest is 3, police said. A son, 23, died last summer, according to police.
 There is no doubt, on the basis of scientific evidence, that she took the child" said Asst. Dist. Atty. Kenneth McCabe.
 He said the infant, snatched from St. Peters Hospital nursery 212 hours after she was born on January 2, had apparently been kept in Mrs. Iavarone's furnished flat in Brooklyn ever since.
 The woman quit her job as ere dit clerk in Brooklyn department store on the day the baby dis appeared, police said
 Officials said the woman ,laims she gave birth to the child lerself January alone in her second floor apartment.
 'She insists the baby is hers" McCabe said.
 He said footprints of the kid naped girl, born to MT and Mrs Frank D. Chionchio, and those of the recovered baby are identical.
 He also said there was a small mark on the 'baby's left eyelid, as described by the father.
 The penalty for Kidnapping, when the child is recovered alive, is 20 years to life in prison.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

Calculations show that Jupiter would be even more oblate than it is unless it's mass is highly con- centrated towards it's center Since the average density of the planet is only 1.3 times the density of water, it's outer parts must be composed of very light material.
 The temperature of Jupiter at the levels we can observe is 103 degrees centigrade, which would be expected if practically all the heat comes from the sunshine and not from the interior. Water is permanently frozen in all parts of the planet. The clouds are of sub- stances having low boiling points.
 Spectroscopic analysis reveals the presence of methane and am monia in Jupiter's atmosphere. The carbon and nitrogen have combined with some of the hy- drogen which is presumably the chief constituent of the atmos- phere. The atmosphere of Jupiter has depth of 5000 miles.
 Jupiter is brilliantly visible in the east every clear morning.

She pointed to eight facts which prove the need here:
 l. Nome is a town of great in terest historically.
 2. A museum would provide the means to preserve gold rush days

Air Force CHA Disappears Near Homer with 9 Men

ANCHORAGE, R-The wreck age of a missing Air Force Globe master was reached today high on Petrol glacier, on the southeast flank of the Kenai mountains, which the plane was trying to cross in a desperate effort to reach Homer. There were no sur vivors among the men aboard
 ANCHORAGE, LR - Two U. $. Coast Guard cutters were search ing today for giant C124 Air Force cargo plane believed down with men aboard in the vicinity of the rugged Kenai Peninsula's s southeastern tip.
 A Coast Guard spokesman at Kodiak said the cutter Storis was dispatched from Kodiak and the Sedge was sent out from Cordova.
 The Globemaster was last heard from as it approached Ho- mer on the Kenai Peninsula 125 miles southeast of here for an emergency landing with two of it's four engines out. It never ar rived at Homer, which is at the base of a 5,200-foot mountain range.
 The Coast Guard said the plane had radioed it's trouble and an amphibious plane intercepted it. The escort plane, however, lost the Globemaster because of bad weather.
 The stricken transport, accor- ding to the Coast Guard, was fly ing at low altitude, barely high enough to clear the Peninsula's snoW-covered peaks before set ting down at Homer. Officials theorized the pilot might have turned back to sea and ditched
 The C124 was based at Travis Air Force Base in California. It took off from McChord AFB in Washington shortly after noon yes terday bound for Kodiak. It car ried 34,5OO pounds of cargo.
 It was the second Air Force transport to go down in the same general area recently. A C54 with Is men aboard crashed last month against a peak just across Cook Inlet from Homer. All died.
