EISENHOWER
Continued From First Page

Berlin. Mr.. EISENHOWER seemed
satisfied that as much progress
as could be expected had been
made on this issue. He empha-
sized that no specific negotia-
tons were attempted.
The President also stressed
that he could not predict what
the ultimate solution of the
Berlin issue would be.
The communique issued after
the Camp David talks ended
yesterday afternoon said the
President and the Soviet Pre-
mier reached IAN understand
ing" subject to approval Of
other parties directly con-
cerned, that negotiations
would be re-opened with a view
to achieving a solution (on
BerlinD which would be in &C
cordance with the interests of
all concerned and in the in
terest of the maintenance of
peace
Eisenhower announced a
significant additional agree
ment today. He said he and
Mr.. Krrushchev agreed that
the Berlin negotiations should
not be prolonged indefinitely
but there could be no fixed time
limit on them"
This means, he said, that no
one is under duress and mo
one is under any kind OF
threat"
The Berlin crisis began last
November q when Mr.. Khru-
shchev called for withdrawal
of Western allied occupation
troops from West Berlin and
for putting in the hands of
Communist East Germany con-
troll over the allied access
routes to West Berlin.
The Soviet Premier first set
a six-months deadline - until
last May 27-for agreement on
some new status for West
Berlin before the Soviet Union
took unilateral action. This
deadline was extended vaguely
during the Big Four Foreign
Ministers conference in Geneva
last spring.
Time Limit Called Threat
The Western allies had con-
sidered as a threat any effort
by the Soviet Union to put
a time limit on their rights
| in West Berlin. The threat
was that Russia would take
by herself action that would
abrogate agreed four-power re-
sponsibilities for West Berlin
But Mr.. Eisenhower said
today that Mr.. Khrushchev
told him "emphatically" that
he never intended anything
that could be interpreted as a
threat regarding Berlin.
la
The President gave a some
what confused answer when
asked If the United States. in
the forthcoming Berlin nego-
tiations, would stick to TIE
principles that allied rights in
the city must be guaranteed
and the freedom Of West Ber-
liners protected.
II can't guarantee ary-
thing" he said. because he
does not know what solution
would be found acceptable. He
emphasized, however, that any
solution must be acceptable Il
all those directly concerned.

varying characteristics in diff
ferent sections.
Unlike earlier results. those
from Explorer VI suggest that
the most dangerous area from
the standpoint Of human safety
may be a thin band lying
about 1000 miles or so above
the earth.
Scientists at the University
of Chicago designed equipment
which found this area about
800 miles thick, to be composed
chiefly of protons, or hydrogen
nuclei, with energies above rs
million electron volts. Electrons
of energies above Is million
electron volts also were noted.
Such high-energy particles
would require shielding up to
the equivalent Of 2 inches of
lead to protect spacemen in a
satellite station at that alti-
tude. the scientists said.
Scientists said that while the
intensity was such that heavy
shielding would be required for
long stays, no particular peril
faced the crews of space ships
that might travel through the
band on the way out. 1T would
register as just a fleck on the
meter as they went through"
said DR.. John Simpson Of Chi
cago, in charge of the high
energy experiment.
The new Van Allen picture
obviously will have no effect
on the Mercury man-in-space
program now planned for the
early 1960s. The Astronauts
will orbit at only about 100
miles altitude.
In addition to the television
and Van Allen experiments.
the jam-packed satellite also
contained instruments to meas
ure the magnetic field of the
earth and to count micro
meteorites, or cosmic dust.
Space Remarkably Empty
Early indications from the
magnetometer experiment seem
to show that the magnetic
field expands and contracts in
space in a way that may be
related to storms on the sun.
High solar activity, according
to early information. may
cause interplanetary gas to
compress the magnetic field,
which may re-expand later
when the pressure" is relieved
after the solar storm.
The micrometeorite detector
aboard Explorer vi showed
space to be remarkably empty.
Only Sc hits were recorded be-
tween August 7 and September
l despite the fact that the de-
tector was theoretically capa-
BILE of sensing any impact by a
particle just a few millionths
of an inch in diameter. Only
two particles as big as 100000
inch were detected.
This sparsity of cosmic dust
was noted despite the fact that
the satellite sailed through the
Perseid meteor shower of Au-
gust 7 and 8 on its first three
orbits around the earth. In
this period it received 16 CT
its Sc impacts.
The cosmic dust particles
were travelling between seven
and As miles an hour, according
to Herbert A. Cohen of the Air
Force Cambridge Research
Center, who was in charge of
the experiment. On impact,
they generated pressures of Is

Smyrna times., 1959-12-31

The snowstorm which visited
this section Christmas night was
the heaviest and most destruc-
tive that Smyrna has experienc-
ed in years. Not in the memory
of the oldest inhabitants has so
much snow fallen in such short
time. It has been estimated that
two and a half to three feet
exists on the level, with drifts
upward to five and six feet.
The heavy impact of snow was
damaging to shade trees and to
property. The entire roof of
Walter Joseph's skating rink
caved in under the strain and
the building was crushed to the
ground. Iron awnings of w. A.
FAIRIES and Son and Charles R.

Family Mass Murder Laid To Son

SETTLER, Alta, R nm The mass staying of a father, mother and their five children came to light with discovery Sunday of the seven battered bodies at this quiet central Alberta town. Rob- ert Raymond Cook, p, son of the slain man, was charged with mur- der.
 The victims were Raymond Cook, 53, a garage mechanic; his wife, Daisy Mae, 37, and their three sons and two daughters ranging in age from g to 3.
 Police found a blood-stained shotgun stuffed under a mattress in the Cooks neatly kept green and white house, but the bodies were so badly battered investi= gators could not tell whether the victims had been shot before they were clubbed.
 The bodies were found in the garage under a pile of old tires, boxes, blankets and other articles. The discovery shocked this town of 5000, eighty miles southeast of Edmonton.
 Police went to the home to in form the father that Robert Ray mond had been arrested Saturday on a charge involving the fathers car. When neighbors told police none of the Cooks had been seen since Thursday, the officers en- tered the house and found blood stains on the floor and mattresses.

 EXTENDING FEDERAL AIRPORT AID PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower today signed com promise tWo-year extension of federal aid for airport develop ment, providing for more spend ing than he recommended.
 The President called on Cong ress to take prompt corrective action" regarding one feature of the new law The measure, Eisen- hover said, treats Alaska - now a state - as a territory. He said it thus would be entitled to less than half the funds it should re- ceiVe as a state.
 The President did not mention Hawaii, which also will become a state during the next year.
 Under the law, Alaska would get $1, ,350,000 and Hawaii $780, 900 in each of the two years. Alas ka would have to match only on a 25-75 basis, with Washington pay ing three-fourths. But Hawaii

Hawaii Democrats Jubilant Over High Vote Leads In First State Primaries

Long, 70, for the Senate
 Hiram l.. Fong, 52, wealthy businessman of Chinese descent, ran unopposed for the Republican nomination and drew 42,396 votes. He will oppose Fasi for one Sen ate seat.
 Long registered 61,625 votes to overwhelm two Democratic aspi- rants in the nominating contest. His Republican opponent for the other Senate seat will be Japanese American Wilfred C. Tsukiyama, 62, veteran territorial senator who garnered 40,7O0 votes run ming unopposed in the primary.
 For HaWaii's lone House seat, Democrats nominated territorial Senator Daniel K. Inouye, 34, a decorated war veteran and lawyer who lost an arm serving with the famed Ego for broke" all-Nisei regimental combat team in World War II.
 Inouye received 50,787 votes to outdistance another Japanese American, Mrs. Patsy Takemoto Mink, 31, who trailed with 21,802.
 Inouye will be opposed by Re publican Charles H. Silva, Hawaii Department of Institutions direc- tor, who collected 38,515 votes run ming unopposed for the Repub- lican nomination.
 The Democratic camp drew much of it's optimism from the showing of John A. Burns, Dele gate to Congress, in winning the party nomination for Governor. Burns, 59, amassed 69,152 votes to 1928 for Edward J. Hitchcock. His vote total was well ahead of the 49, ,431 received by Eisenhower appointed Governor William F.

 The measure had been cut down by Congress to 126 million dollars in the face of veto threat raised during the debate. The extension is for 63 million dollars a year.
 Democrats had fought for cost Her and longer program and some of them complained they had to accept the smaller outlay with a loaded veto pen at our heads" "
 The House originally voted for a four-year 297 million dollar ex- tension and the Senate a four year 465-million-dollar bill. Eisen- hover had proposed a four-year, 200-million dollar extension of the airport program.

By ROBERT TUCKMAN

HONOLULU, lR - Democrats jubilantly claimed today their heavy vote in Hawaii's primary means victory for them in the islands first state elections next month.
 They contended that the big Democratic vote was the forerun- her of a sweep that would send three of their fold to Congress and elect a Democratic Governor and Legislature.
 Republicans were quick to an swer that COP candidates ran unopposed in the nominating pri- mary Saturday while Democrats engaged in vote-drawing con- tests. They said the Democratic out-pouring was expected.
 Some COP leaders nevertheless conceded that the party would be the underdog in the Aloha States first election July 28.
 Both parties turned to cam paigning in the wake of the pri- mary and a simultaneous state hood plebiscite in which Hawai- ians voted approval of statehood by a whopping IT to 1 margin.
 The 132,938 yes votes so dwarfed the 1854 votes against statehood that it exceeded even the most optimistic predictions. Japanese and Chinese Candidates
 The primary voting produced three candidates of Japanese or Chinese ancestry out of the six nominated for HaWaii's two Senate seats and one in the House of Rep resentatives. At least one of the trio appears certain to go to Congress.
 Democrats nominated Frank F. Fasi, 38, territorial senator, and former Hawaii Governor Oren E..
