Pioneer Near
MiIIion-MiIe
Space Mark
By the Associated Pres

Pioneer V, Americas new
space messenger, today neared
the million-mile mark of its
long jaunt toward an orbit
around the sun.
Still sending soud and clear
"woo-woo" radio signals-in-
cluding automatically recorded
information on space conditions
the solar satellite reached a
distance of 920.378 miles at
noon. At that time scientists
calculated it was moving at S.
704 miles an hour over the
South-Central Atlantic.
On the projected path, the
rocket would reach 965 900
miles at 8 pm. Velocity then
would be 5,692 miles an hour
and the position with respect
to the earth would be above the
northwest corner of Australia.
Scientists of the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration estimate the 94.8-
pound messenger will pass the
million mile mark early to-
morrow morning. Pioneer v
was launched at five seconds
after 8 am. last Friday.
Space agency officials re-
ported that all tracking sta
tions on the earth continue to
pick up the probes signals on
schedule.
All that can be said at this
point is that the temperature
inside the probe is maintained
at a comfortable rs degrees
and that the solar batteries
are supplying power at the
planned strength.

.PhiIippiinesRap
u. ). Aid Policy

BAGUIO, Philippines, Mar.
II (AP).-The Philippine gov
ernment thinks the United
States is giving too much aid
to Japan at the expense Of
other allies in Asia.
Philippine Foreign Secretary
Felixberto Serrano repeatedly
emphasized this contention at
length in a speech Monda% to
Americas top diplomats in
Asia.
Mr.. Serrano spoke at the
opening of a conference here
of United States ambassadors
in Asia. State Department Of
ficials also are attending the
meeting, which ends today.
Filipino sources gave this
account of Mr.. Serrano's
speech:
The Foreign Secretary said
the United States cannot de-
pend on Japan in the event of
a shooting battle with commu-
nism in Asia. But the Philip
pines is the best friend the
United States has in the world
and would stick by America as
1t did against the Japanese in
World War II.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Serrano
continued, the United States
has poured in vast sums OF
aid to build up Japan indus
trially and militarily while
neglecting the Philippines and
other underveloped nations.
The Foreign Secretary called
for a complete revamping of
United States foreign policy in
the area.
He told the diplomats that
their program is based entirely
on fear of communism. He said
Americans should have more
faith in the basic principles
for which the United States
stands.

Of the department of horticulture
at the University of Delaware for
is years. was elected president of
the Northeastern Weed Control
Conference at it's 14th annual meet
ing in New York City January 6,
7, and 8.
He was vice president of the or
ganization last year and has been
a member of the executive COM
mittee for the past five years in
various administrative capacities.
About 700 people attended the
meeting of the organization which
Rain said lis dedicated to the
modern science of weed control
which really began with the intro
duction of 2,4-D as a weedkiller
in 1914. Since then many new and
highly effective weedkillers have
been discovered due to research of
both industry and state and fed
eral experiment stations"
He said the u. s. Department of
Agriculture estimates losses due
TO weeds at four billion dollars a
year.
Rain said, many OF the people
attending the weed conference
were from businesses or organi-
cations not necessarily concerned
with crop production. Control of
vegetation is important to rail-
roads, highway departments, power
lines, the fish and wildlife service,
and public health departments, as
well as to agricultural connected
businesses.
Professor Rain teaches courses
in plant growth regulators and in
vegetable crops. He also does ex-
tensive research with weed control,
primarily in horticultural crops.
