CONTRACTS LET
FOR MOON PROBE
BY the Associated Press


The Space Agency announced
today contracts to develop an
instrument with which it might
attempt to probe the surface
of the moon five or six years
hence.
The lunar seismograph
might weigh 10 to 20 pounds
and would employ reverse
thrust rockets to soften the
impact upon the moon.
Once on the moon, the detec-
ton system would gather in
formation as to the composition
of the moons crust and the
activity or motion Of the crust,
1t would relay to earth data
on. the types of rock encount-
cred, whether they we're molten
or solid, and details as to the
size and velocity of meteorites
striking the moon.
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration said
the size. shape and weight OF
the lunar instrument will de-
pend on the guidance and
weight-carying abilities Of the
launching rocket.
To finance the first year OF
development work, NASA
awarded contracts of $4,000
each to Columbia University
New York City, and California
Institute of Technology, Pasa-
dena. The two schools will COL
laborate. o.

Small Radiation Laboratory Disclosed
In Cone Retrieved From Space Flight
rApr cANAVERAL

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
July 81 AP)s-The Atlas nose
cone recovered by the Air Force
last week contained a small
scientific laboratory to study
space radiation.
This was disclosed yesterday
as the recovered cone was
shown to the press for the first
time. The l2-foot-long cone is
the largest ever brought back
from space by the United
States.
Oficials of General Electric
Co., which made the cone, re-
vealed that scientific expert
ments also were included on
previous, Atlas and Thor-Able
rocket flights. They said these
showed there was slightly more
radiation activity o than had
been thought at attitudes up to
600 miles above the earth.
Tracked Gamma Particles
H. w. Paige, general man
ager of GEES missile and space
vehicle department, said last
weeks Atlas nose cone included:
/. Four emulsion packages
to pick up gamma particles.
The jelly-like emulsion record
ed the path Of the particles as
they passed through.
2. Instruments to register
the effect of the bombardment
of micrometeoriteS, or cosmic
dust, on the nose cone.
3. Devices to measure the
earth's magnetic field.
Mr.. Paige said there were
other scientific instruments in
the cone but that these are
classified. ~

radiation gauges is vitality i'm

The nose cone was smooth
and white when it sped away
atop the Atlas July 81. Now
it is a charred black. except
for a silver-colored area at the
tip. The surface is very rough.

Hearings may last more than
one day. which makes it doubt
full that floor debate will start
next, week. Q
About 40 House Democrats
backing thee AFL-CIO view
point held a breakfast meeting
yesterday at which they
reached a consensus favoring
a bill limited largely to requiring
unions to file financial reports
with the Goyernment.-on the
theory that disclosure Of union
finances would discourage
thievery. The Labor Commit
tees bill includes, in addition
to reporting provisions, a "bil,
of rights" for union members
and other regulations opposed
by the AFL-CIo.
Significantly. the breakfast
group proposed to omit all bas'
ic amendments of the Taft
Hartley Act from the reform
bill. The AFL-CIO publicly ha'
insisted on several relaxation:
Of Taft Hartley, but apparent.
ly now is willing to drop de.
mands for these "sweeteners'
in order to block restrictive
Taft Hartley amendments.
Shelley Is Host
Representative Shelley, Dem,
ocrat of California, played host
at the breakfast meeting. Those
attending are likely to form thu
core of the group attempting Il
soften the committee bill.
One of the Democrats at.
tending the breakfast. Repre-.
sentative Thompson of New
Jersey, came away still con.
WINGED that the committee bill
is the soundeSt middle course
for the House to pursue. He
said the Shelley groups de-
mands in behalf of union lead
ers, contrasted to stringent
proposals like the Landrum.
Griffin bill, demonstrate thai
the committee bill is the "sen-
sible" middle way.

Government investigators de-
veloped evidence yesterday
that a small oil firm made
Frank Leahy an officer in hopes
he could raise millions of dol
lars for its depleted treasury
from wealthy acquaintance.
The disclosure came at a
Securities and Exchange Com
mission hearing into the man
ner in which the former Notre
Dame coach and others sold
stock of Hamilton Oil g. Gas
Corp.
At. the time. July, 1858, the
firm was in debt about sac, 900,
it was testified.
Pledges for Leahy
The firms presidentSJohn o,
Maberry of Denver, told the
hearing the plan for Mr.. Leahy
to raise funds on the promise
Of fast returns from new oil
well drillingS was dropped after
Mr.. Leahy got pledges of q
half million dollars.
1t was after that, according
to the SEC investigators, that
Mr.. Leahy turned to selling the
stock now under scrutiny.
Mr.. Maberry was asked by
SEC Lawyer Paul Wright
whether Hamilton Oil had in
mind for Mr.. Leahy any duties
other than fund raising when
he was made a director anc
executive vice president.
1--WE did not" Mr.. Maberry
replied.
Minutes Of a directors meet
ing of July IL. 1858, show those
raising money for the drive
which later fell shorto of ex'
pectations. we're to have re-
ceived a total commission O.
20 per cent.
ThOrntOn's Role
The minutes of that SAINT
meeting also show that anothel
director, former Republican
Gov. Dan. Thornton of Colo
RADIO, also offered to line VI
some wealthy persons to par
ticipate in the venture.
Mr.. Thornton is a friend o
President Eisenhower. He i
believed no longer with thu

Hamilton Oil has admitted
false and misleading state
ments to the SEC about it
stock. Now SEC lawyers wan
to stop sales of any, of it. -

Farm SAFETY WEEK"

H#E~Z
throughout the .. S. as Farm Safety Week.
We realize, Of course, that safety should be practiced
every day on the farm, IN the home, and in every situation in
volving work or play; but the observance of one particular
week each YEARS. carried out with the purpose Of helping
everyone to realize the necessity for exercising safety
measures always.
Ia the home we sometimes leave small chores lndone or
uncorrected with the intention Of correcting the situation
later. Very often later is too late; and someone in the family
suffers an injury or some discomfort from something that
could have been corrected in a few minutes.
Sometimes the thing to be corrected lies in the home sur
-~roundings. Apiece Of wood with nails sticking out is a conz
slant potential source Of danger and injury, especially to
children. Old rubble piles, tin cans, tools lying around out Of
place, and many more such things, that may cause serious in
jury to people as we'll as livestock, should be corrected.
Many accidents that occur on the farm and In the home
could be avoided though simple and easy precautions.
Always be careful when handling your livestock. Some
times an animal may become too risky or on the other hand
may react too roughly to- your handling, and cause an accident
or injury to itself or to you. The same thing applies when
operating your farm machinery. Every precaution should be
used to prevent all accidents.
Be careful in and around the home with insecticides, in
Aammable materials, and any other type of material which, if
improperly handled can cause serious injury or accidents.
