Scientists hope within a year
to be able TO photograph the
suns corona from a balloon at
attitudes up to 100000 feet
thereby adding much to mans
knowledge of outer space.
Plans were discussed at a
meeting yesterday at the Office
| of Naval Research in connec-
ton with a report on a flight
made earlier this month to 3d.
900 feet over the DakotaS and
Iowa. Although the August
ascension resulted in no pho
tographs of the corona, OF
halo" around the sun, 1t DEM
onstrated clearly that such pic
lures could be taken.
The corona is an atmosphere
| of thin but extremely hot gas
that extends many millions OF
miles out into space above tbs
surface of the sun. Some sci
entists believe it may even ex-
tend, in extremely tenuous
form, as far as the earth'S
orbit. Normally, it is visible
only during eclipses, and is the
dramatic halo seen through
smoked glass or in eclipse
photographs.
Rode in Open Basket
Comdr. Malcolm D. Ross, DR.
Gordon Newkirk and Robert
Cooper participated in yester-
days discussion of the August
II fight and future plans
Comdr. Ross. of the Office OF
Naval Research, and Mr.
Cooper, of the University OF
Colorado'S High Altitude OBJ
servatory, made the ascension
in an open basket "strato-lab'
balloon. DR.. Newkirk perfected
the Flying Coronograph" usec
on the trip.
The Coronograph is a tele.
scopic camera of extremely
long focal length in compari-
son with its one millimetel
aperture. which is designed
specially to photograph areas
Of the sky near the sun. The
pictures made on the August
flight were taken in green light
with a wave length of 5.40(
angstrom units (about 20 one
millionthS of an inch).
DR.. Newkirk explained thai
no pictures of the corona
proper were achieved because
at that wave length and alti'
tude the brightness of the sky
is greater than the brightness.
of the corona. This will not bt
the case in the higher altitude
experiments, he said.
Good Pictures Expected
In the flights planned TO,
next year, DR.. Newkirk said
the light used will be of a mucf
longer wave length, in the in
fra red region between 9,00I
and 10000 angstromS. The CO
roma is far brighter at thi
wave length than is the sky a
100000 feet. Thus, good pic
lures should be available.
No new, expensive equipmen
will be needed for the high al
titude work, DR.. Newkirk said.
Comdr. Ross, who has as
cended to about $4,000 feet il
balloons, said he could see M
reason why the instrument, {
relatively light affair, could no
be carried to 100000 feet. HI

Atlantic, Gulf Ports Traffic Frozen lin Sudden WalkOut

NEW YORK, LR - Port activity from Maine to Texas was para lyzed today by a strike of union dock workers. A threatened back to-work movement by a big Brooklyn local failed to mater ialize.
 The rebellion apparently was squelched by top union leaders as the vast shipping tieup entered it's second day on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
 An industry official put it's cost at 20 million dollars a day.
 The Brooklyn 12,000-man local of the International Longshore- mems Association voted Thurs day to call off the strike in it's territory, possibly as result of heavy damage suits threatened by employers.
 It wasn't clear who ordered them back, but a few minutes later the union president, William V. Bradley, reported from his Manhattan headquarters that the strike was 100 per cent effective from Maine to Brownsville, Tex.
 Along the coasts about 200 freighters were tied up. In the port of New York, largest and busiest in the nation, only a hand ful of men were seen, in contrast to the nearly 10000 stevedores employed daily.
 The unexpected strike, which stunned union leaders, waterfront employers and mediation off cials, erupted early Thursday in ports along the Gulf coast. It be- gan only a few hours after an agreement reached here for 15- day contract extension appeared to have averted the threat of a general walkout.

SteelwOrkers Boss Not Hopeful of Quick Compromise
By JOHN MOODY

PITTSBURGH, R - David J. Mcdonald, president of the strik- ing United Steelworkers Union, expressed pessimism today about a quick end to the nationwide 80- day-old steel strike.
 As he arrived at midtown ho- tel to resume negotiations with the steel industry representatives, Me Donald was asked if he was still as hopeful as he had been yes terday.
 "Well, I'm afraid I'm not hopeful" he replied:
 R. Conrad Cooper, chief indus try negotiator, arrived moments after Mcdonald but declined to comment on possibilities of an early end to the costly strike.
 Today's session was the third in two days since President Els enhower told both sides he wanted to see quick progress.

 The President returns from a vacation October 8 and his re- marks were widely interpreted as meaning the United Steelworkers and the industry have only until then to break the long impasse without direct government inter vention.
 The union is seeking wage package improvement that Me Donald estimated would cost the industry about Is cents an hour for each man. The industry wants workers to forego any improve ments that would increase labor costs

Red Chinese Peace Dance Tops Day of Teeth Barring

TOKYO, R - To the strains of "How Good the Peoples Com munes Are" 113 million Chinese danced and sang all night in Pei pings Square of Heavenly Peace to celebrate China's first 10 years of Red rule.
 The noisy spectacle, which the Communist New China News Agency said was repeated throughout the China mainland, was witnessed by Soviet Premier Khrushchev, Red Chinese Chair man Mao Tze-Tung and other top Communist from around t h e world
 Today Khrushchev and Mao got down to business again in their third conference since the Rus sian leader arrived Wednesday.
 The fun-making came after a huge military demonstration of ar tillery pieces, tanks, jet bombers and fighters and a parade of 700,- 900 civilian marchers in the Chi nese capitol.
 After the big parade, the Red news agency reported, Workers, students and commune workers from the vicinity of the city be- gan to flock into the square, bring ing with them Chinese and Vest ern musical instruments.
 Khrushchev and the other Com munist leaders watched from atop the high gate in the square.
 There was no word of when Khrushchev will return to Mos COW. The Soviet leader came to Peiping officially to attend yes terday's celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Communist capture of mainland China.
 But he also is telling Mao and his chief aides about his talks with President Eisenhower and his American visit, and presum- ably he is trying to bring Pei pings policy in line with his new peace line resulting from his American trip.

Berlin Agreement Said to be Reached With Khrushchev

BERLIN, LR President Eisen- hover and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev have laid the basis for an agreement on Berlin, the West Berlin newspaper Telegraf reported today from what it called reliable source. The Telegraf has close ties with West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt.
 According to the newspaper, there are three main points of an accord reached at the Camp David talks:
 l. A corridor would be eStab- lished across the no miles of Communist East German terri tory separating West Berlin from the remainder of West Germany
 2. Western troops would re- main in Berlin, not as occupants, but to guarantee and supervise the new arrangements.
 3. The United States would not object to separate peace treaty between the Soviet Union and Communist East Germany.
 Such an agreement would prob ably be opposed by the West Ger man government as giving in creased prestige to the Commun- ist German state. It would also be interpreted as making the prospect of reunifying the coun> try even more remote.

 Much of the danger Of a sym pathetic explosion and fire in nearby storage tanks has been averted.
 The tank exploded before dawn Thursday, destroying three houses and injuring nine persons.
 The cause of the blast, which occurred not quite two days after hurricane Oracle hurled itself upon Charleston, has not been de- termined.
 The tank was one of a cluster of four in the 32-tank Esso Stan dard Oil Co. refinery on the north ern outskirts of the city.

WASHINGTON, tR - Nikita Khrushchev's boast that the Soviet economy is expanding more rap idly than that of the United States finds some support among spe- cialists reporting to Congress.
 But the 16 technical papers made public yesterday by the Joint Economic Committee do not reach the sweeping conclusions the Soviet Premier voiced during his visit: that Communism will bury capitalism economically, or that it's pattern of society will take over, just as capitalism SUD- planted feudalism.
 The committee had asked for the analyses as part of a com parative study it is making of the Soviet and U. s. economies.
 In terms merely of growth in industrial output not taking into account the levels from which they start nor the uses they find for their products - the Soviets show up well in the economic analyses. But by the same yard

Severe Storms
 Slam Into Denver

DENVER, R - Storm battered Colorado cities called today on military men, state prisoners and volunteers for help in a mammoth cleanup job.
 Intermittent snow and rain spit out of leaded skies for the fifth straight day.
 At least five deaths were blamed on the savage storm that struck with midwinter fury Monday night.
 Mayor Dick Batterton, who said Denver's damage runs into mil lions, said nearby Lowry Air Force Base has assigned 50 men to help the city clean up.
 The U. S. Forest Service is bringing in mechanical equip ment to dispose of broken limbs lining almost every street in the city.
 A half-dozen other cities were in the same plight as Denver. Streets were plugged with bro ken branches ripped loose as the snow, ranging from Is inches at Colorado Springs, piled crushing weight on full-leafed trees.
 At Canon City, volunteers from the State Prison joined city off cials in clearing away the bat tered foliage. City officials said the job will take a month.

Hoffa Gives Accounting To Labor Dept; In Conflict With News Statements

WASHINGTON, LR - Team sters Union President James Hoffa has reported to the Labor Depart ment that an incomplete Survey by the union has not turned up any ex-convicts holding union jobs in conflict with the new labor law.
 That accounting, in letter to Secretary of Labor James Nit chell, appeared on it's face to vary from a statement which Hoffa himself made at a news confer ence Monday.
 At that time Hoffa said he had found five of the more than 10,- 900 Teamsters officials and en- ployes disqualified. The law bars any person from holding a union job within five years after a cri- minal conviction.
 He declined to name the five, but said all the convictions will be five years old next January. All the men have been placed on leave of absence until then, Hoffa said.

City Seeks Good Air View Of Nome Right N O w

About a month ago the City of Nome advertised for an aerial view of Nome, which was to be used as the cover illustration on the October issue of Western City" magazine. Several pictures were obtained from Frank Whaley of Wien Airines, but word was received today that they cannot be reproduced satis- factorily for a slick magazine cover
 The City again is making request for several aerial views of Nome - and they're needed right now because the magazine has already gone to press. Any one having a good aerial view, suitable for reproduction, is asked to notify City Clerk Bob Scott immediately. The City feels that a picture of Nome appearing on the cover of magazine such as Western City, will be very good publicity indeed.

Marvel of Universe Still Ayes MOrtals In Solar BIackOut

Space minded man stared at the Armament today as it un- folded one of it's most majestic spectacles-a total eclipse of the sun.
 On both sides of the Atlantic, observers watched as the moon slowly blacked out the earth's source of light, leaving radiant corona shimmering in the dark ened heavens.
 Clouds obscured it for many ground watchers in the Boston area, and interfered somewhat at Canary Island stations off the coast of Africa - both sites at which the eclipse was total.
 Astronomers and students, how ever, took to planes to soar above the clouds for" a clear view of the celestial display.
 On the earth below, the dawn bright landscape turned to night again as the sun disappeared.
 It was so dark at noon on the streets of Las Palmas, Canary Is lands, that vehicles had to use their headlights.
 In many other parts of the world, partial ecipses were seen.
 In the Western Hemisphere, the eclipse was visible in varying de- grees from Greenland to Florida and as far west as Michigan.

Congress Told Danger of Trend in
 Reds Production Leading U.S Effort

stick their industrial growth rate exceeded that of the United States for time even under the czarS.
 In one paper prepared for the committee, c. Warren Nutter of the University of Virginia con cluded that in the next five years ''it seems reasonably certain that industrial growth will proceed more rapidly in the Soviet Union than in the United States" But he found mo definite evidence that the Soviet economic system has been able to generate more rapid industrial growth over the long run"
 Hans Heymann Jr, of the Rand Corp, expressed doubt Khrush- chev seriously expects to match the United States in sper capita production by 1870. But Heymann said the danger is not the timing of such triumph, but a trend in the Soviet favor - "the steady and progressive diminution of the u. s. lead," he said, would give an immense boost to Soviet prestige"
