(AP) THE men who conquered
Mount Everest-tallest point on
earth-may assist in sending
man on into the heavens
through a series Of high alti-
tude experiments.
An Air Force doctor plans
to examine Sir Edmund Hillary
and DR.. Hugh Grifhths, two
members Of the British. party
which first climbed the 9,002-
foot mountain in 1858. during
a nine-month expedition to
Nepal starting next month.
Capt. Thomas o. Nevison,
jr., hopes the experiments and
observations of how men per-
form at attitudes of 10000 feet
and above over long periods OF
time will give medical men
hint as to how well space
travellers can adapt to thin
atmospheres.

Satellite System Seen
For Phoning Europe

In a speech at the SYM
postum, Louis Pollack, executive
engineer of the transmission
laboratory of the international
Telephone and Telegraph Corp.
said a commercial satellite
communications system could
be highly profitable.
Mr.. Pollack estimated that
the first stationary satellites
would cost $50 million based on
the assumption that there
would be four misfirings before
a successful launching.
He said a global network
would require three Of these
satellites. equidistant from each
other. He added that the first
attempt to place such satellites
in orbit will be made in three
or four years as part of the De-
fense Departments space pro-
gram.
Mr.. Pollack estimated total
cost of the system over a 10
year period would be $3.50 mil
lion.
He added that gross income

distance communications earn.
ings would be $50 million 6

Within the next decade you
will be able to bounce your voice
of a satellite $4,000 miles out
in space and talk to someone in
Europe by phone, a communi-
cations authority says.
The prediction was made
here yesterday by Robert F.
Brady, president of the Wash
ington branch of the Profess
sional Group on Communica-
tions Systems of the Institute
of Radio Engineers.
However, Mr.. Brady warned
that scientists still haven't fig
ured out a way to make sure
the phone in Europe won't be
busy when you call.
Mr.. Brady said in an inter-
view that commercial radio sat-
elites orbiting the earth 5000
miles out in space will have sew
eral advantages over submarine
cables for continent-to-conti-
nent phone calls.
He said satellites would pro-
vide a vastly greater number OF
circuits than cables, would be
more reliable and should result
in lower rates.
Mr.. Brady was attending 9
national symposium on global
communications.
