A one-pound rocket-borne
weather station designed to
probe the stratosphere and
radio back weather findings
at attitudes up to 40 miles
has been designed by the
Nays ordnance laboratory.
1t is designed for use with
the laboratory's high alti-
tude sounding projectile," a
supersonic anti-aircraft mis-
sile converted into a weather
data collector for ships at sea.
The weather observing ap-
paratuS consists of an IL
inch radio sonde suspended
from a 6-foot metalized
parachute. The sonde con-
tains a sensitive temperature
measuring device and a tiny
radio transmitter powered by
a siX-volt battery. A gauge to
measure StratoSpheric pres
Sures will be included.
The designers say this is
the smallest radio sonde yet
developed for high altitude
observations. During recent
tests at Wallops Island, Va,
the Instrumental payload
was rocketed to an altitude
of 20 miles where it con-
Sistently broadcast accurate
shakespeare temperatures
for a half hour. 1t is ex-
pected to double this altitude
in the near future.
Simple to Launch
The rocket with its wealth
er-observing instruments re-
quires no special launchers,
tracking equipment or record
ing equipment. When used
aboard ship it is launched
from a 5-inch gun to hurtle
aloft at 5000 miles an hour.
1t is automatically tracked as
it goes into the stratoSphere.
Upon reaching the maximum
altitude the Instrumental
payload is elected from the
rocket to float back to earth
by parachute at a rate of 80
feet a second.
Weather data collected in
the stratosphere will be cor
related with that of the lower
atmosphere for more &C
curate long-range forecasts.
The information, says a Navy
report, will be invaluable in
firing long-range ballistic
missiles or determining fall
out patterns if nuclear mis-
sileS are ever used in war.

PARIS

SAIlS-
While the attention of the
world is riveted on Berlin the
last act of what may be an
even more fateful drama
opens this week in France.
The curtain-raiser is Presi-
dent de Gaulle's speech today
in which he will outline his
latest-and very probably his
last-attempt to put an end
to the seven-year war in Al
geria and set up an indie
pendent Algerian state. But
even as he speaks, the OPP
posing political forces are
bracing themselves for a
decisive and, quite possibly,
bloody clash amid the ruins
of the Fifth Republic.
The stake-in which the
whole Western world shares
deeply-is the survival of
Democratic government in
this country. Civil War in
France or the triumph of ex-
tremists either of the Fascist
right or the Communist left
would be a tragedy whose con-
sequences would overshadow
anything that is at stake in
Berlin apart from the threat
of nuclear war. The fate Of
the Atlantic Alliance and
NATO could we'll be settled
in France in the very near
future.
This crisis, which Is almost
completely ignored outside of
France, is also very imper-
fectly understood by most
Frenchmen. After all, it is
argued, there have been sew
eral threats to Gen. de
Gaulle's government since he
returned to power over three
years ago. Each time, the
instruction has been put
down and the generals liberal
policies have been reaSserted.
Each time, the faith which
France and the West have
accorded Gen. de Gaulle has
been indicated.
Growing Weaker
What is not understood is
that each of these victories
has left Gen. de Gaulle
weaker than he was before,
Weaker in terms of the des-
peration and determination
of his enemies-weaker in
the growing hostility of the
professional French army
weaker in the gradual loss Of
faith by the French people
in his ability to find a solu-
ton to the Algerian problem
Today, it is very clear that
time is running out on
Charles de Gaulle. After
three years of virtually die
tatorial authority he has
failed either TO negotiate
peace with the Algerian ma
tionalist rebels or impose his
will on the die-hard right
wing elements in Algeria and
France. Successive efforts to
purge" the French army
have been equally unsucceSS-
full. Each time a high-rank-
ing military figure is retired
or sent to jail the loyalty of
the rest of the French army
becomes more doubtful.
Gen. de Gaulle is entering
the last act of a drama with
his freedom of political &C
ton severely narrowed and
his personal authority dan
gerously diminished. His hope

Research.
Ninety-nine per cent of the
dissolved material, says the
report, consists of eight ele-
ments: sodium, chlorine, sui
fur, magnesium, calcium, po-
tassium, carbon and bromine.
At present, says the report,
undiluted sea water, which
contains an average of two
tenths of l per cent of bro
mine, is the source of 80 per-
cent of the bromine produc-
ton in the United States.
This means that, since 308.-
900 tons of bromine are con-
tanned in a cubic mile of sea-
water, nearly 10000 tons of
the water must be proceSsed
to secure one ton of the
element.
Source of Magnesium
The entire United States
production of magnesium is
extracted from sea water,
which is estimated to con-
tain about 6 million tons per
cubic mile. The recovery
process now in use extracts
IS to 80 percent One plant
alone is extracting ITO mil
lion pounds every year.
About 80 percent of the
dissolved salts in sea water
is composed of common salt,
sodium chloride. This is OBJ
tanned by solar evaporation of
sea water from wide, shallow
basins. More than | million
tons are produced annually
by this method in certain
parts of California which
have the warm, dry climate
necessary for the solar evap-
grafton method to be oper-
able.

report. are obtained from the
shallow waters of the CONT

considered as underwater ex-
tensions of the continents.

WATCHING THE WORLD
France Is Fighting for Time
By CROSBY S. MOVES
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor

ton now lies in establishing
an independent Algerian
executive to run the country
until its future is decided by
a popular referendum. But
since this solution is almost
certain to be fiercely opposed
both by Algerian nationalist
and European settlers its
chances of success cannot be
rated very high.
Meanwhile, everything
points TO an impending show
down with the right-wing
extremists. Algeria today is
once again virtually in a
state of open instruction
against the government in
Paris. Daily public demon
STATIONS and exploding
charges of plastic are evil
dence of the growing strength
and authority of the secret
army organization" Its di-
receives are broadcast with
increasing frequency over the
wave length of Radio Algiers.
It's propaganda and exhorta-
lions circulate freely through
the French mails.
Strong Backing
There may be some doubt
of exactly how strong this
underground organization is
or how much sympathy and
support it enjoys within the
French army. There can be
no doubt whatever that it is
backed by a large majority
of the European population
in Algeria. Nor is there any
doubt that its leaders in any
showdown would count on
swinging the army to their
side under the banner of such
prestigious military figures
as former Gems. Raoul Salan
(still at liberty in North
Africa and Maurice Challe
NOV in Jail in France.
There can be no doubt
either that this conspiracy
has a highly organized politi-
cal wing ready to seize power
with military backing at the
first opportunity. Its front
men include some of the
most respected names in
French politics. If they come
to power the policy of these
men will be to proclaim the
doctrine of a French AL
geria," along with a full-scale
renewal of the war and the
total suppression of the lib
eral opposition. When he
speaks of the danger Of a
Gigantic st. Bartholomew
Day" Socialist Leader Guy
Mollet is counting himself
and his friends among the
earlier potential victims.
The recent assassination at
tempt on Gen. de Gaulle-
from which he escaped by
something of a miracle
showed to what lengths the
conspirators are ready to go
to accomplish their aims. 1t
also helped convince leaders
of the Communist left
that the time to organize a
coherent popular opposition
to the impending coup d'etat
was desperately short. The
meeting last week between
Mr.. Mollet and his sometime
political rival Pierre Mendes
France was a first step in
this direction. But the ques-
ton being asked here is
whether it may have been
taken too late.

Fuses Blowing?
Home Specialist
Suggests Check

Having trouble with fuses
blowing all the time? You say
you are constantly replacing
them but they still keep on
blowing. This remedy is great
for the fuse manufacturing bust
ness but it won't solve your
problem.
Miss Patricia Middleton, ex-
tension home management spec
ialist at the University of Del
aware suggests that next time
a fuse blows, you check to see
what is causing the trouble be-
fore putting in a new fuse.
A fuse usually blows for one
of two reasons, says Miss Mid
dleton. First, you may have a
short circuit in one of your ap-
pliances. Or you might have
too many lamps and appliances
operating off the same circuit.
Either situation will cause too
much electricity to pass through
your household circuit wires,
causing them to overhead. When
the wires become too hot, the
fuse will blow. When a fuse
blows, it breaks the electrical
circuit and prevents the wires
from getting so hot that they
become a fire hazard.
To determine what your prob
lem is, first, check all your
lights and appliances to be sure
they're in safe operating condi-
tion. Check for such things as
exposed wires and worn or
frayed electrical cords. Be sure
the plugs are in good condition
and that the appliances don't
overhead when being used
Next, check to see if you
have too many lamps and appli-
ances operating on the same
circuit. Begin by plugging in
one appliance or lamp and then
a second. Continue to plug in
additional ones until a fuse
blows. Then count up the num-
ber of watts used by the ap-
pliances and lamps that you
had plugged in before the fuse
blew. The number of watts used
by an appliance is usually print

Trends Catch
.Homemakers of
To-day Unprepared
By Miss Patricia Middleton

AS ''fads" or trends" in the
building trade becomes popular
the home owner is often faced
with a host of new problems.
suppose a chambermaid in
the medieval castle would know
how to clean and care for a
stone floor. But many of to-
days homemakers are complete
ly unprepared for this problem.
More and more builders are
including slate, flagstone and
brick floors in entry ways, halls
and even some living and din
ing areas of homes they are
constructing.
With proper care these sur
faces can be beautiful and dur
able. Gena Thames, New Jer-
sey home furnishing specialist,
has become quite an expert on
the care of these surfaces. She
suggests giving them a finish of
penetrating Sealer containing
tung oil to make them easy to
keep clean and bring out their
natural beauty.
Slate is available in a variety
of colors. Gray, black, green
or blue are popular tones. Any
of these may be dulled how
ever by wear or weather. Miss
Thames suggests finishing slate
with thin type of penetrat-
ing floor sealer that has tung
oil base. 1t will brighten the
floor and help resist moisture.
The same finish can be used
successfully for indoor flagstone
or brick floors.
For a screened-in porch or
outdoor patio with slate or flag
stone floors, use penetrating
floor sealer designed for exter-
ior use.
Miss Thames says the sealer
should be scrubbed into the
slate or flagstone with scrub
bing brush. The excess should
be wiped up with a lint free
cloth. Surfaces treated this way
won't have to be waxed and
you can wash them with soap
or detergent.
Your castle floors deserve the
best. With this information and
some hard work, you can put
the best medieval castle keep
er to shame.
