Cable Car Crash
Kills 80 in Bruzil

SAC PAULo. Brazil. Aug. 20
(AP).-Thirty workmen were
killed and six injured yester-
day when a cable car plunged
1900 feet downhill after its
lines broke, police reported.
The car was going down q
hill near the Cubatao Dam
when the cables broke.
The injured men jumped as
it fell. -Four were said to be
injured seriously.
Police said the car was TAX
ing workers home from the
dam when the steel cable
snapped. The car rolled about
500 feet down its track, then
plunged more than 1000 feet
down a cliff.
The Sac Paul Light and
Power Co. said 1t was the first
such disaster in 80 years of
service.

Physical Test
Can BeGiven
Flyer in Air

Hampstead, N. Y, Aug. 20
(AP).-The Air Force can now
give a man a continuous phys
ical examination while it
bounces him around from high
to low altitude and back again.
The examination is conduct
ed by electronic devices DEM
onstrated at Mitchell Air Force
Base, with Staff Sergt. Rich
ard p. Laauser the guinea pig.
In a high-altitude pressure
chamber, Sergt. Laauser was
taken quickly to a simulated
level of $4,000 feet, allowed to
free fall" back to $4,000,
brought back to 10000, and
then rushed back up to $1,000
in less than a second. He wore
a partial-pressure suit through
out, to protect him from
changes that otherwise would
have made his blood boil.
Nevertheless, the rapid
changes had important effects
on his heart action, rate and
flow of breathing and body
temperature, and these were
monitored continuously by the
new equipment. A continuous
check also was made on the
electrical resistance of his skin
to give an indication of the
psychological effects of the
experience. This device reg
listers shock just as a lie-de-
tector does.
The equipment, developed for
the Air Force by Gultof In
dustries, Inc, Matuchen, N. j.,
is expected to help scientists
gain still more knowledge of
what really would happen to
the human system in high alti-
tude and space fights.

Radio Signals
To Be Sped
By Satellites
b the Associated Press

Two companies have signed
Government contracts to start
work on a system Of sending
radio messages swiftly about
the world by bouncing them
of artificial satellites in space.
The satellites. acting as relay
stations, would shoot radio sig
mails back to earth without any
delay or interference.
The new system, which the
Pentagon has labeled "Notus"
Latin for south wind-would
be a boon tothe Strategic Air
Command. Its bombers. which
range far over the world, would
be able to sen jam-proof mes
sages ito headquarters and re-
ceive quick replies.
NotuS is based on the sue
cessful experiment with the
talking Score satellite last
winter. Score broadcast Pres
ident Eisenhower's Christmas
message to the world as it
orbited around the earth.
The Defense Department an
nounced last night that the
first contract for NotuS has
been awarded to the Philadel-
phia Missile and Space Di-
vision Of General Electric Co.,
and the Ann Arbor (Mich.)
Division Of Bendix Aviation
Corp,
General Electric received a
$5.5 million contract to start
development of the first satel-
lite in the system and Bendix
received an $8.5 million con-
tract to start development of
the communications sub-sys-
tenn.
Eventually, the Department
OF Defense hopes to have a
series of satellites DRIFTING
around the poles and relaying
messages. Each satellite would
be thousands of miles from
the earth.
Roy johnson, chief of the
departments. Advanced Re-
search Projects Agency, told
Congress earlier this year that
NotuS will make it impossible
for the enemy to throw at our
communications counter-radar
that will make it impossible
for the message to go through"

posing and working on" Mr..
johnson continued, will be
immune from such jamming,

ternal Revenue Service has
made contact officially with the
subcommittee.
In reply to a reporters ques-
tons, Mr.. Herbert would say
only that entertainment and
alleged expenditures connected
with lobbying by trade associa-
tons appeared to be the items
of most interest to the revenue
service.
Observers at Hearings
A spokesman for the revenue
service, while steering away
from discussion of particular
cases. said it was general prac-
tice to send observers to hear
ings such as those Of the He
bert subcommittee.
Because Of the amounts
mentioned it is quite likely
audits will be made in cases
where they seem to be called
for" he said.
He added it does not follow
