Bridge, senior Republican U. S.
Senator, says Vice President
Nixon could have won the presi-
Dental election if President Eli
senhower had given more help at
an earlier date in the campaign,
had Nixon campaigned as vigor-
ously throughout as he did in the
last two weeks and had Nixon
not participated in TV debates.
The New Hampshire senator
said Nixon is the most probable
choice for presidential candidate
despite his defeat by Democratic
Sen. John F. Kennedy.
Kennedy will have difficulty
pushing his programs through
Congress, Bridges predicted. His
"eyelash victory" in the Nov. 8
election gave him mo clear man

The National Science Foundation
is also the sponsor for the two
year study of an eroding process
of artificial satellites being under
taken by Dr. Cooper. The grant is
for $4,000.
AS an artificial satellite orbits
about the earth, one of the prob
lens involved is the slow erosion
of the satellites skin as it passes
through the earth's rare atmos-
phere. This eroding process, call
ed "sputtering," is of practical in
terest in many other applications
such as thermonuclear fusion de-
vices. For this reason, careful
study of "sputtering" is important.
A high vacuum mass spectrometer
is the principal experimental tool.
