The worlds biggest movable
radio telescope has been de-
clared obsolete even before it
could take its first sounding in
space.
In junking the project yes
terday the Pentagon cited ris-
ing costs as well as rapid ad-
vances in space technology.
Since 1858, the Government
had spend SALT million of the
$126.2 million voted by Con-
greSs for the research station
at Sugar Grove, w. Va.
West Virginians, who planned
to use 1.-The big ear" as a tourist
attraction during next years
centennial observance, kept a
stiff upper lip.
Program Continues
The decision, said Gov. w. w,
Barron, will "by no means"
halt plans for a tourist project
near the Pendleton County site
in the States eastern Pan
handle Mountains.
And, said the West Virginia
Centennial Commission, the
telescope stays on its official
emblem.
The Pentagon action had
been rumored for more than a
year. Meanwhile, construction
progressed to the point where
access roads were built in re-
mote areas, the site graded and
the turntable completed.
The telescope, standing TOO
feet high and weighing $4,000
tons, was to listen for signals
from any life on other worlds.

than 5000 acres Of cotton allot-
ments we're transferred to Estes
IN Reeves and Pecos Counties.
Basis Of Decision
The witness said Mr.. Mar
shall apparently based his de-
cision on the belief that the
Estes transactions involved
side agreements under which
the land sold by Estes to dis
placed farmers having cotton
allotmentS would revert to him
at the end of the year with
him retaining the allotments.
Mr.. Allen said the College
Station meeting took place one
day after Agriculture Depart
ment officials met in Dallas
and took steps to strengthen
regulations to prevent such
transfers as Estes was seeking.
Committee Counsel ODon-
nell asked Mr.. Allen the
net result of the meeting with
the Estes attorneys.
Mr.. Dennison was quite I'M
satisfied with the results" Mr..
Allen replied.
He said he met Mr.. Naylor
at the airport that evening end
flew with him part way on his
return to Dallas. He said Mr..
Naylor tried to convince him
that Mr.. Marshall had made a
mistake in not approving the
Estes contracts.
Questioned by Senator Nc
Clellan. Mr.. Allen said he did
not ask to see the contracts
as he did not realize the i'm
portance of the matter at the
time. He explained that he
considered it a routine" prob
lem.
Seen Man of Integrity
He also testified that he left
it to Mr.. Marshall to handle
as a specialist. He said he con-
sidered Mr.. Marshall a man OF
integrity.
Senator Mundt, Republican
of South Dakota, asked If il
was within the realm of posi-
bility that Mr.. Marshall had 9

Satellite 'Jomming' Called
Possible but Impractical

and tune in a program from
a satellite because of the I'M
usual antenna requirements.
Space officials have great
confidence" that communica-
ton satellites will become eco
nomically feasible, but DR..
Dryden admitted this has not
yet been demonstrated "in &C
tual hardware"
The witness indicated it will
be necessary to develop satel-
lites that can remain in orbit
for from three to five years to
make this new system of COM
munication economical.
Senator Kerr asked DR.. Dry
den what response the Rus
slams have made to efforts to-
ward international agreement
on the ALLEGATION of frequen-
cies and the use of commune
cation satellites.
The witness said he will not
know the full answer to the
Russian attitude until the In
ternational Tele communica-
tons Union. a branch of the
u. NJ. meets in the fall of
1868.
Little Cooperation
DR.. Dryden said there has
been very little evidence of
cooperation by the Soviets,
but we cannot give a final
answer until the ITU meeting
in 1853"
DR.. Dryden said there is
little doubt that a greatly ex-
banded global communications
facility will be required within
a few years to handle the rap
i'd increase in overseas mes
sages.
The committee also heard a
long technical discussion of

America, through its president,

Pennsylvania 6. 0. P.
Counts Less Chairs

Then, suddenly, the rivals
merged with Mr.. Blooms bless
ing, and a ticket of Woodside
for Governor. and Van Zandt
for Senator emerged.
Scott Jumps In
It had no more than seen
daylight when Senator Scott
was handed a rifle and a hunt
ing license by Gen. Eisenhower
and began blasting away. The
Senator jumped into the Gov
ernor race, aggressively but
reluctantly, and Democrats
grinned.
There followed an effort at
peacemaking. Mr.. Scranton, a
Congressman of liberal per-
suasion, offered himself as a
compromise candidate, but
Judge Woodside declined to
yield.
Then the Judge, Senator
Scott, and Mr.. Bloom caucused
in a Washington motel. Judge
Woodside said he would with
draw in favor of any of three
men. Senator Scott said like
wise.
Unfortunately, none of Judge
Woodside's three men was on
Senator SCOTS list of accept
able compromises, and vice
versa.
Meeting Yesterday
Yesterday, Mr.. Bloom met
again with Judge Woodside, Mr..
Van Zandt and representatives
of the manufacturers group.
AS Senator Scott tells it, Mr..
Bloom called him and said they
would take Mr.. Scranton for
governor, if he would take
Mr.. Van Zandt for Senator.
Senator Scott said he needed
time to check it out with his
allies. This, he said, Mr.. Bloom
refused.
Mr.. Bloom indicated to Penn
slyvania reporters he had re-
ceived the impression Senator
Scott was against Mr.. Van
Zandt for Senator. At any rate
Judge Woodside, firing of the
tu.., withdrew and let MIR Van
Zandt try for governor.

Cuba Repeats
Claim on Base
BY the Associated Press

Broadcasts by Fidel Castro's
radio stations again have been
emphasizing that the Cuban
government has no intention of
attacking the United States
Naval Base on Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba.
United States officials are
inclined to believe this despite
another broadcast last night
saying Cuba will demand its
legal right to claim" the United
States base.
One broadcast overheard here
used an oblique method to get
over the thought that the
Castro regime is not planning
any attack on Guantanamo.
1t said United States citi-
zens residing in Cuba" have
sent a letter to President Ken
nedy denying calumnies pub
liShed by the official publica-
ton of the military forces sta
toned j.. at the Guantanamo
Naval Base, Gitmo Gazette"
The letter said the United
States citizens "have read with
alarm an article recently pub
lished in Gitmo Gazette refer
ring to a possibility that Pre-
mier Fidel Castro may be
preparing to attack the United
States Guantanamo Naval
Base"
Informed sources here say
they are agreed Mr.. Castro
would never attempt an attack
on the base.
But without threatening &C
ton, Cuba continues to claim
the base. 1t restated the claim
in a note to the Soviet Union
Havana Radio reported in a
broadcast monitored last night
at Key West. Fla.

D. c. Seeks Right
To Remove Dead ,
Diseased Trees

The District will ask Con-
gress for authority to force re-
moval of dead, dangerous, and
diseased" trees from private
property.
Under the proposed legisla-
tion, the city would notify a
property owner that he must
remove the hazardous tree. II
the owner took no action, city
work crews would take down
the tree and the property
owner would be billed for the
cost through a tax lien.
The proposed bill, requested
by the Highway Department,
would expand the city's MUS
ance Act. This law provides for
municipal action to correct
other hazards on private prop
erty, such as a dangerous ex-
cavation. The District also has
authority to require removal
Of trees which have Dutch elm
disease. This is under a special
Federal program.

Cab Head Is Held
In $3.50 Attempt
To Hush Witness

A cab association president
today was ordered held for the
District grand jury on a
bribery charge. A woman
charged that he offered her
$3.50 not to testify at a
hackers board hearing.
Bond was set at $1,000 for
the man, Frederick M. Mccoy,
40, of the $500 block of Hayes
street NE, head of the Cru
sader Cab Association.
Miss Doris jackson, rs, a dry
cleaning firm clerk, of 2606
Eighteenth street Sc, said
that on December "a Mccoy
approached her, identified
himself as "Mr. Martini" and
asked her not to press her dis
courtesy complaint against a
cab driver.
She told a Municipal Court
hearing that she revealed the
offer on February 7 at a board
of revocation hearing which
resulted in the revocation of
the drivers license. The cab
driver was not charged in the
bribery case.
Through his attorney, Henry
Lincoln johnson, jr., Mccoy
denied the charge. Mr.. john
son commended that Miss Jack
son was not legally a witness,
but Judge Dewitt S. Hyde
ruled that complainants before
administrative boards are wit
nesses under the bribery
statute.

Witnesses admitted before
the Senate Space Committee
today that it would be posi-
BILE for an unfriendly nation
to jam communication satel-
lites in the early stages of this
new method of sending COM
mercial messages.
But both Government and
private spokesman testified it
would not be easy for a nation
that was not cooperating to
get any pratical use out of
these satellites.
DR.. Hugh L. Dryden, deputy
administrator of the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration, told Senator Hicken-
topper, Republican of Iowa,
that in the early models Of
communication satellites it
probably would be possible for
a nation to solve the codes and
use the satellite surreptitiously
without helping to develop the
system. but he indicated that
in later models at higher alti-
tudes this possibility would be
minimized.
Private vs.. Public Ownership
The committee, presided over
by Senator Kerr, Democrat of
Oklahoma, was beginning hear
ings on bills which are expected
to provoke lively debate over
whether communication satel-
lites should be privately or pub
licly owned.
Both President Kennedy and
Senator Kerr are sponsoring
bills providing for private own
erShip under close Government
supervision. Senators Kefauver
OF Tennessee and Morse of
Oregon, Democrats, introduced
a. Government ownership bill
yesterday.
Under questioning by Sem
ator Pastore, Democrat of
Rhode Island, DR.. Dryden
agreed that a prompt settle
ment Of the ownership question
is essential to speedy develop
ment.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-27

Senator Pastore said he raised
the question because he feels
sure development of peaceful
uses of atomic energy was
slowed down by a debate in
Congress in 1854 over patent
rights and ownership of atomic
devices.
Agrees With Pastore
DR.. Dryden agreed with Sen
ator Pastore the United States
is striving to be first with a
workable system of communica-
ton satellites and said it would
result in great international
prestige" if we succeed. He said
he thinks we are doing all we
can to succeed at this time.
In response to committee
questions, DR.. Dryden also
testified that:
It will be at least five years
before a satellite system of
sending commercial messages
around the world is in opera
ton.
1t will be a "long time" be-
fore a person can sit at home

The game of musical chairs
Pennsylvania Republicans are
playing for the Senate and
Governor nominations went two
more rounds today, with one
player eliminated, another half
way out and a third, once side
lined, apparently back in COM
petition.
Senator Hugh Scott told a
press conference today he would
withdraw from the race if all
the other players agreed to let
Representative William w.
Scranton be their gubernato-
rial contender.
WOodside Pulls Out
The liberal G. o. P. Senator
acted just IL hours after Penn
sylvania Superior Court Judge
Robert E. Woodside, formerly
the conservatives entrant in
the Governor race, pulled out
in favor of Representative
James Van zandt, who had
been billed as his running mate
for the Senate.
Senator Scott said Mr.. Van
Zandt was all right with him
but only as a Senate running
mate for Mr.. Scranton. If Mr.
Van Zandt stays in the race
for Governor, Senator Scott
said he will plunge back into
the battle against him by filing
his own petition for Governor
Informed of this, Mr.. Var
Zandt, obviously unhappy at
being pushed into his fourth
switch since the game began
said that, so far as he knew, he
was stir a candidate for Gov
ernor. Any further announce
ment, he said, would have to be
cleared with his hackers ir
Pennsylvania.
Liberal VS.. Conservative
The Republican entertain
ment, whose plot line now has
become as confusing as an earl!
Shakespeare comedy, is basi
cally a struggle between Liberia
Republicans, led by Senator
Scott, who holds former Pres
ident Eisenhower's proxy, ant
conservative forces, backed b!
the Pennsylvania Manufacture
ers Association and represented
by State Chairman Georg
Bloom.
In the beginning-it seem
ages ago-Mr. Van Zandt ant
Judge Woodside were rival can
didates for Governor, with tn
judge enjoying conservative
backing, and Mr.. Van zand
wooing the liberals.
