VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Mother Earth and Her VeiIs
By THOMAS R. HENF

was in darkness when the
satellite passed over it.
The recordings were trans
mitted automatically to earth
stations within the path and
sent Immediately to Fort
Monmouth for analysis.
There are probable death
pockets" in space.
A great, doughnut-shaped
electric current flows through
space around the world.
It is generally at a distance
of ten times the earth'S radius
and has an average strength
of about 5 million ampereS.
1t varies greatly in position
from day to day.
These observations have
just been reported by the
International Geophysical
Year Committee of the Ma
tional Academy Of Sciences,
as a result Of preliminary
analyses Of automatically
recorded observations made
by the United States space
probe, Alpha 1860. This probe
was launched March II into
an orbit around the sun be-
tween the orbits of this
planet and Venus.
For the first time, accord
ing to the report, this launch
ing has made possible obser-
vations of the effects Of solar
flares, geomagnetic disturb
anceS and various Solar-ter-
reStrial relations for extended
periods from a position be-
tween earth and sun.
COsmic Ray OutburSts
Among observations of the
greatest value, says the re-
port, are those Of cosmic rays
from the sun recorded at a
position in space completely
free of the earth's environ
ment. At a distance of seven
times the radius of this
planet, says the report, were
recorded "outburstS Of low
energy cosmic rays following
five or six solar flares. The
intensities of the bursts
ranged from just detachable
above the background Of cos
mic rays received from the
galaxy of stars to particle
fuxes ten times the intensity
of the galactic background
THUS, even outside Une
Van Allen belts of high in
tenSity radiation trapped ip
the earth'S magnetic field,
very penetrating solar radia-
ton in intense bursts may be
encountered by space We
hicles. Such radiation must
be seriously considered for its
biological effects"

The public reaction to the
detection of Martin and
Mitchell has been mostly
emotional outbursts. Even
the Presidents response was
of that nature 90 "Self-con-
fessed traitors" he said. If
we look closely we will
realize that it is a more
serious matter which has to
be dealt with than sobriety.
There are three points which
we must ponder:
THAT our enemy is a
real one and he doesn't stop
at anything to harm us. He
means business. He is ruth
less and will take advantage
Of anything and everything
to defeat us with the aim of
subJugating us to his will.
Let us not say. "he doesn't
play fair, because he would
not. Let us expect and be
prepared for foul play from
him.
2-There is something
wrong with our security
check system. One thing has
not been mentioned about
security check habits of our
Government. There is a tend
ency among the personnel of
the security check agencies
to accept men more readily
for their outside appearance.
We even select candidates for
the presidency by their looks
or the hair-do of their
wives. I doubt that Abraham
Lincoln could be nominated
or elected for the presidency
To-Day.
3-Let us not put the
blame for their detection on
their sex habits, or Russian
ingenuity. These men, Mar
tin and Mitchell and others,
went to the other side for
a reason. Surely the reason
was not monetary. I doubt
that they were blackmailed.
Even if they were encouraged
and helped by the Russians
they were there on their own
accord. Why?
This is the most important
question. We are not perfect,
it is true, but any normally
intelligent man will realize
that life in America is much
better than it is in Com
muniSt Russia. Any person
with a high school education
or more knows the theology
OF communism and the Rus
sian ruthless dictatorship.
These men who have de-
fected, or have spied on the
secrets of the United States,
must have known this, vet
they acted as they did. Why ?
We can not blame it on one
OF the administrations be-
cause we have had "de-
fectors" under both Of them.
Is it our religion or lack of
it? Is it our system Of educa-
ton? Is there something
wrong in our family life? Do
we lack training in patriot
ism? There must be some
thing wrong; otherwise
twenty-one soldiers wouldn't
stay in China after the
Korean war.
Therefore, instead of wall
ing, let us study and find
out why these men betrayed
this wonderful country and
went to the other side.

Throw Them Out!

KhruShchev's declaration
of war upon the United Ma.
tions reveals to all the world
the true frightful face of
communism. We now enter
a new era of world history.
AS her 80 U.N. vetoes have
demonstrated so clearly since
1945, Russia dareS not permit
peace and order to develop
in the world.
Russia alone frustrated
U.N. control Of atomic arms
in 1945-47; Russia alone
frustrated the pledged uni
f1cation of Germany and
Korea; Russia alone enforced
the demoralizing partition of
Indo-China; Russia alone
blocked U.N. acceptance of
President Eisenhower'S open
skies proposal for arms
limitation in 1858; today.
Russia alone illustrates every
attempt at honestly policed
world disarmament under
U.N. inspection. And Russia
alone has spurned publicly
President Eisenhower's offer
to divert specified portions of
present armament budgets to
worldwide economic recon-
Struction and development.
Communism hates impe-
rialism-unleSs 1t is to be
Communist imperialism.
Communism is now the
self-proclaimed world pirate
and outlaw.
KhruShchev's one-man war
upon the U.N. conforms per-
fectly with the Kremlin's AZ
year record in diplomatic
treachery, as set forth SO
eloquently by the Senate
Internal Security sub-com-,
mittee's report in 1855. That
report itemized more than
1000 treaty violations and
regulations by Moscow since
1918 - "the most appalling
record of diplomatic perfidy
in all human history" the
report described it.
Russian diplomacy is mo-
tivated by one principle-to
adhere to treaties and COM
mitmentS only so long as they
serve to advance world COM
muniSm.
When the U.N. frustrated
the Kremlin's invasion of the
Congo, the U.N. ceased to
serve world communism.
Ergo, the U.N. must be
destroyed - by the routine
Kremlin treachery of repu-
diation.
Why should mighty, peace
loving America maintain
diplomatic relations with
such monsters? Why not at
once reorganize the U.N.
without any Communist
powers, and then permit the
true seekers after peace to go
about the noble work of re-
building peace under law?
All communism is but a
spiritual and moral morass;
Khrushchev, it's barbaric
spokesman. He and his be-
whiskered hill-billy friend
from Havana should be for
ever and totally oStracized
from all intercourse with
civilized peoples.

Earth is veiled like a ha-
rem houri.
She would appear so, at
least, to astronomers on an
other planet. Less than 20
per cent of the surface would
be visible. About 80 per cent
of earthlight would be SUM-
light reflected from high
clouds.
Observers on earth never
will see anything of the solid
surface of Venus. VenuSians
would be in nearly as bad a
situation with respect to this
planet.
This finding was a result Of
the fifth United States-IGY
satellite 1859 Alpha, launched
from Cape Canaveral early
in 1859. 1t was a 21-pound
sphere whose outside was
plated with pure gold pol
iShed to a mirror-bright
finish. The sole purpose was
to measure the cloud cover
of the earth beneath it over
the daylight portion of its
orbit.
Cloud Cover Varies
The cloud cover experiment
was developed by the Army's
Signal Research Laboratory
at Fort Monmouth, N. j. AS
the satellite circled the earth
two photocells measured the
intensities of sunlight reflect
ed from clouds, land masses
and sea areas. The first con-
stituted about 80 per cent of
the rejecting surface be-
meath. Land accounted for
from IS to 20 per cent and
sea areas not cloud-covered
about 5 per cent. The satel-
lite's spin of about so revo-
lutions per minute caused the
photocells to scan the earth
in successive lines, producing
a lined picture not unlike a
television picture.
The measured reflection
intensities were converted
into electrical signals which
were stored in a tape record
er. Separate solar batteries
turned on the recorder only
when the earth beneath the
satellite was in daylight -
about so minutes for each
orbit. The experiment was
designed to obtain cloud
cover data between the equa-
tor and 35 to 40 degrees north
latitude. Strips of the earth's
surface 600 miles wide were
obtained on each pass. This
amounted to about a quar-
ter of the planets surface
every "a hours. Observations
were confined to the Northern
Hemisphere. Most of the
region south of the equator

The important thing for
rank and file members of
labor unions to remember
is that while a forced raise
in pay, derived from a
strike, is a nice thing to get,
more important, after all,
is the preservation of the job
itself. If a business cannot
make a profit, under its ex-
listing competition it cannot
endure, and neither can the
jobs of its employees.

III answering Cne senator ana
in presenting his own views.
Take it by and large, both
made good presentations of
their own party views. The
final punch may not come
until the last debate.
One Of the questions-and
most important which the
American voters must decide
when they go into the polls
is which candidate will make
the better and stronger leader
of the United States in this
era of grave danger to the
United States and to the
free world. Here the per-
sonalities of the two men,
their experience as we'll as ,
their views on national and
international issues, will be
the determining factors.
These joint debates give the
people as a whole an OPP
portunity to make this i'm
portant decision. This is the
value of the joint appearances
Of Vice President Nixon and
Senator Kennedy.
Kennedy MOdifies Stand
In his presentation Mon
day night Senator Kennedy
modified his earlier campaign
speeches in which he at
tempted to show the United
States rapidly losing ground,
and even in second place to
Soviet Russia in military
and economic strength. His
contention was that the
United States was not going
forward fast enough to keep
ahead Of the RussianS-and
he proposed to see that it
did. Mr.. Nixon's answer to
this is that the United States
not only is ahead in its
economy, but has continually
gone ahead, and that its
military strength is also ever
on the increase. Like the
Senator however, he agreed
that the country must pro-
gress. 1t would better pro-
gress, he insisted, if the
methods he advocated were
followed.
Singing out two Of the
controversial subjects dis
cussed, it seems to this writer
that Mr.. Nixon bested Sena-
tor Kennedy when the latter
sought to show that his
leadership in the bob-tail
session of Congress a few
weeks ago failed on important
measures because of Repub-
lican opposition. If this Ken
nedy contention were correct,
it would be an example of the
tail wagging the dog, since
two = thirds of the Senators
are members of Senator Ken
nedy's own party. and so
are two-thirdS of the mem
bers of the House. Also, when
Senator Kennedy pressed Mr..
Nixon on the latter'S vote to
break a tie in the Senate
on the passage of the aid-to-
education bill, which provided
Federal aid to the States to
increase teachers pay or build
additional schools, Mr.. Nixon
declared himself fatty against
having the Federal Govern
ment contribute to teachers
pay, on the ground that when
the Government starts pay
ing teachers, 1t will start con-
trolling the teachers and
what they teach. In America
that has been a fundamental
issue always.

THE POLITICAL MILL
First Round of the Great Debate
By GOULD LINCOLN

Who won the great debate,
Vice President Nixon or
Senator Kennedy? The only
possible answer today is that
the debate has only begun
three more such debates will
take place during the month
of October-and that the
final decision will be made by
the voters on election day.
But of this first joint ap-
pearance Of Mr.. Nixon and
Senator Kennedy before a tel
evision audience estimated as
high as go million, it may be
said that it developed strong
and wide differences between
the two candidates on the
role the Federal Government
should play in handling the
affairs and the economy of
the American people-with
the Senator on the side Of
more and bigger Government
programs and Mr.. Nixon
relying on greater private
initiative. This, despite the
fact the Senator denied he
was a "big Government" man.
1t may be said, also. that
both candidates agreed that
this country must go forward
defensively and economically,
becoming stronger and
stronger, if it is to win the
battle of freedom against the
Communist threat. They
differed again strongly on the
methods to be used.
And thirdly, it may be said
that the candidates, the
American people and the
television industry are all to
be congratulated that these
Kennedy-NiXon debates have
been launched. They are
history-making, since they
are the first such joint ap-
pearanUeo of candidates for
the presidency. They will
help to make history. For
while the dyed-in-the-woo
supporters of Mr.. Nixon and
of Senator Kennedy probably
will not be shaken in theil
support, these debates should
have real impact on the in
dependent, undecided voters
of whom there are a large
number.
Interest Was High
The hour-long program ir
which the candidates gave
their views Of domestic issues
generally was well and inter-
estingly presented. To many
it could have run longer, 81
great was their interest. Onl!
two DEFICIENCIES exist in tele'
vision presentation of Sucl
a program. The first is tht
lack of a live audience which
detracts from the warmth
and undoubtedly has an effec
on the debaters themselves
The second is that televisiol
does not show, as only
living eye picture can, tn,
actual appearance of tn
man. For example, in thi
first debate the Vice PreSi
dent looked like a sick mai
on the screen which he doe
not in real life.
Both candidates, in thi
first round of the great de
bate, were polite and OBJ
viously feeling each othe
out. In the succeeding rounds
they undoubtedly will begil
punching. While Senate
Kennedy spoke with NOR,
force, Mr.. Nixon, in a calmel
manner, was more effective
