4 Tiros II. Americas new w.
camera weather satellite. de-
veloped q wobble last Friday
but q second burst of spinning
speed apparently stabilized it.
Reporting this yesterday, the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration said the new
satellite has radioed back
hundreds Of cloud pictures
many Of them useful to
weather experts.
The 2SO-pound satellite was
launched from Cape Canaveral
Fla, last Wednesday.
Its rate Of spin slowed SO
much that its stability was
threatened, and last Friday one
Of five tiny pairs Of spin rock
cts was fired by remote COM
mand. This increased the spin
rate from 8 to 1913 revolutions
q minute.
Later, observers noted that
the satellite was starting tc
wobble. To compensate for this
a second pair Of spin rockets
was fred Friday and increased
the spin rate to 1a.9 rpm.

Kennedy Expected to Ask
Eisenhower to Help Out .
Z ny GARNET ID. HORNER
star stan Writer

President-elect Kennedy is
expected to ask President FL
senhower next week to remain
available for special services
to the Government after he
leaves the White House.
The President and the Presi-
dent-elect have scheduled their
first meeting since the election
for q week from today at 0 am.
The conference was arranged
primarily to discuss the prob
Jems involved in the transit
.tion from the Eisenhower Re-
publican administration to the
new Democratic administration.
!. 1t grew out Of an exchange
Of kilograms between Mr..
Eisenhower and Senator Ken
nedy Immediately after the No
vember 8 election, when the,
President offered to cooperate
in arrangements to assure an
orderly transfer Of executive
responsibility.
: in q telegram thanking the
President for his congratu D.
.tipns on the election victory,
Senator Kennedy told Mr..
Eisenhower ''the whole country
- hopeful that your long expe-
.Tience in the service Of your
country can be drawn upon fur
.taer in the years to come
when the President-elect was
asked If he had anything spe-
'eihcally In mind about what
Mr.. Eisenhower might do in the
future, he replied that he had
Some thoughts" but would
wait to disclose them until I
talk to him about it."
A possible call by the Presi-
sdent-to-be upon the services Of
Mr.. Eisenhower after he leaves
office would follow a course set
by President Truman when he
brought a predecessor, former
President Herbert Hoover, back
into the limelight by naming

Work Starts
On A..Reacfor
Biology Center

Ground was broken this
morning at the Naval Medical
Center in Bethesda for q $4.l
million RADIO biology research
institute.
Heart Of the new medical fa-
cility will be an atomic re-
actor capable of delivering
deadly doses Of radiation to
even the largest animals.
When the center Is in opera
ton q year from now, armed
forces doctors will be able to
examine the still mysterious ef-
fects Of atomic bomb recitation
without actually setting on q
bomb.
DR.. Frank B. Berry, assist
ant Secretary Of Defense for
Health and Medicine, ofiiciated
at the ground breaking cere-
monies. The site Of the reactor
is about 1000 feet north OF
Jones Bridge road on the east
ern half Of the medical center
grounds, behind the m ain
buildings.
Plans to build the Bethesda
reactor were announced last
December 7. Earlier this year
the Army announced plans to
build a similar but not identical
facility at Forest Glen annex Of
Walter Reed Hospital in Silver
Spring. The Forest Glen in
stallation will study effects of
radiation on equipment, while
that at Bethesda will coneen-
trate on its effects on man.
1t was generally believed that
the reactor's construction is
another step In the.armed serv-
ices research into the effects OF
atomic war. However. officials
said experiments by civilian
scientists will be permitted and
that therapeutic use of the re-
actor-in cancer treatments for
Bethesda patients is elm the
picture"
The reactor will also be used
to manufacture extremely short
lived radioactive drugs for use
at the Naval Hospital and its
neighbor across the street, the
National Institutes Of Health.

public hearings, Senator Car
roll emphasized that this is
not an oversight committee.
For that reason he said 1t is
trying to stay away from speci-
flc ethical cases involving con-
flicts of interest and is con-
corning itself with structural
defects. These include such
questions as whether the COM
missions are too independent or
not independent enough.
Another problem involves
how to avoid backlog of cases.
Judge Prettyman was first
requested by President Eisen-
hover to look into this problem
in 1858. At that time, the Judge
organized a temporary con-
ference which made q number
OF recommendations which
have been carried out.
One Of the final recon-
mendations Of that temporary
conference was that a similar
group be organized on q per-
manent basis. and Judge
Prettyman said that last August
Mr., Eisenhower asked him to
undertake that permanent Or
ganization.
Committee Now at Work
He has named a Remember
organizing committee which is
now at work.
Judge Prettyman said this
permanent conference should
have a fairly large membership,
made up partly from within
and partly from outside the
Government, and should OPP
crate as an assembly. consider
ing the procedural problems of
all the agencies. ...-
The jurist said it should
meet twice a year and invite
both houses of Congress to
designate members to meet
with the assembly. He said
much of the detailed work af-
fecting particular agencies
would be done in committees.
Deputy Budget Director FL
mer B. Stats also testified to-
day. describing his bureaus
strong interest In improving
the procedure before these COM
missions. He said budgets nee
essarily involve the problem of
workloads and backlogs Of
cases.
Mr.. Stats said that although
some common problem areas
have been identified, the regu-
latory boards and commits
sions probably differ among
themselves as much as do the
executive departments.

closed until after the capture
of Marrone.
The agents said Marrone-

The track is believed to be
owned by the Alessio family.
A widespread search for Mar
rome started after the FBI ar
rested his wife Selma, rs, and
another couple in Hollywood
last week end. Agents recov-
cred $77,900 Of the ransom
money at that time.
Don Keller, San Diego Coun-
ty district attorney, said last
night he planned to file formal
kidnap charges against the
three today. The other two are
James r. German, 20. identi-
fled as an escaped convict also
wanted for a $4,000 Hunt
ington Park, Calf, market
robbery; and Germans wife
Ruby, 80.
Marrone was also slated to
be turned over to San Diego
authorities.
The FBI agents said he was
carrying part of the ransom in
$40. $40. $50 and 500 bills
both in his wallet and his
pockets.
The FBI said in Washington
the cash found on Marrone
came to $4.593, leaving we'll
over 100000 of the ransom
still missing.
Marrone has been free on an
appeal bond from a 1859 MUIR
der conviction in Alaska. His
arrest record dates back to 1916
for burglary, robbery, forgery
and murder. the FBI said.
