from the sun, between the or

about 1874 million miles away
on August %, and will reach its
closest point to the sun-about
200 million miles-December

swings around the sun in a
great egg-shaped orbit billions
of miles long. Its last close
visit was 1900 years ago.
Special photographs show
the comet has developed a
swirling tail nine million miles
long and covers an area 20
times that Of the full moon.
Despite its size, however, it is
not visible without binoculars.
Comets are not solid bodies of
matter but loosely combined
forms Of dust and frozen gas.

Aid-fo-CoIIeqe
Hopes Fading

Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, said yesterday II have
not given up hope" for passage
Of the college education bill but
that its prospects now do not
look bright.
Senator Morse, chairman Of
the Senate-House conferees on
the measure, told a reporter he
has no plans at the moment to
call another meeting on the
long-deadlocked legislation.
Il don't plan to do that I'M
til 1t appears we can get to-
gether on a BILL" he said I'VE
haven't been able to do 1t so
far"
The Kennedy administration
has been counting on the COL
lege-aid measure as the one
part Of its badly battered aid
to-education program likely to
be written into law by this
Congress.
But in the conference, the
measure ran into a church
school controversy Of the kind
that has stalled the bill to aid
grade and high schools since
it passed the Senate in May,
1861.
The House in January passed
a bill to provide SIS billion for
college classroom facilities, so
per cent in the form of grants
and 40 per cent loans.
The Senate the following
month passed q bill carrying
the same amount for class
rooms, but as loans exclusively.
1t also would provide $3.50 mil
lion in grants for public junior
colleges and 1924 million for
college student scholarships.
Efforts to resolve these diff
ferences have begged down
chiefly on the question of
grants for classroomS, with a
Senate majority contending no
across-the-board grants should
go to church-connected insti-
tutions.
House conferees insist that
such schools already receive a
variety of Federal aids, and
that it Would not be a signif-
icant additional step to give
them grants to build class
rooms.

PASADENA. Calf, Aug. rs
(AP).-A major traffic acct
dent in the solar system-prob-
ably the collision Of a comet
with an invisible cloud of radia-
ton from the sun-was dis
closed by astronomers today.
Photographs Of the recently
discovered comet indicate it is
being hit hard by something,
possibly a solar wind of mag
netic particles.
DR.. Jesse L. Greenstein of
the Mount Wilson and Palomar
ObServatories said:
when comets are close to
the sun. the disintegrating eff
fectS Of solar radiation can be
observed on them. This is the
first time such effects have
been observed at anywhere near
this distance from the sun"
The comet. named for DR..

said would give Congress "a
very impressive record" If
passed, Senator Hickenlooper

work before October l.

lean attempts to cross the
multi-million-mile gulf between

The first Mariner launching
ended unhappily within about
five minutes last July % when

SAT- Billion foI
Agriculture
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Staff Writer

| ONoA SeaAA "AAkGA
A SAT billion Agriculture De.
partment appropriation bill
SIS billion below administra-
ton requests, went through the
Senate yesterday without oppo-
sition and barely a mention OF
Billie Sol Estes.
Meeting for its third Satur-
day session in recent weeks. the
Senate cleared the way for at
least a week Of debate begin
ming tomorrow on the greatly
modified administration bill for
tax revision.
Democratic Leader Mansfield
said he hoped the Senate would
approve the tax measure before
next Saturday despite numer-
Gus scheduled moves to add or
restore controversial provisions.
$500 Million Cut
The $4,774.ss3, 900 Agricul-
ture Department bill, which
passed on a voice vote after
fewer than three hours of de-
bate yesterday, was still some
distance from final enactment.
The total represented a cut
OF more than $500 million from
the amount voted by the House
July Is and the differences
must be reconciled by a con-
ference committee.
Much more controversial
were conflicting House and
Senate bills designed to control
production Of feed grains and
wheat and thus reduce huge
surpluses held by the Govern
ment.
A unanimous consent request
was expected to be made in the
House tomorrow to send these
bills to conference. A single OBJ
lection could temporarily block
this move but 1t could be done
later this week by getting Rules
Committee clearance.
MOnrOney Complaint
The only reference to the
Billie Sol Estes case was q
complaint by Senator Mon
roney. Democrat of Oklahoma,
that Is million bushels Of Gov
ernment-owned surplus grain
had been moved from Okla
homa warehouses.
He said this left those ware
houses with only about IS per
cent capacity. whereas others
in Texas and nearby States
were more than two-thirds full.
Senator Mundt. Republican
of South Dakota, a member
of the Senate subcommittee
investigating Estes operations,
said this situation was being
investigated.

Opposition Cited

Senator Hickenlooper said
Democratic chairmen of Senate
committees had voted an ag-
gregate Of 260 times against ad-
ministration measures in the
session thus far.

over his New Frontiers pro-
gram. as some Republicans con-
tend.
THE President has given us
sound leadership" he said. He
has tried to meet Congress
more than half way in his deal
ings with it. He has tried also
to be as fair as possible to all
groups in the population and
to all segments in the econ
omy."
Another View
Disputing this. Senator Hick-
enlooper. Republican Of Iowa,
said in a separate interview
there has been "a complete
lack Of success in presidential
leadership" Senator Hicken-
looper. who heads the Senate
Republican Policy Committee,
added:
Tn a good many areas
think it's a good thing for the
country that this leadership
hasn't been successful. Thank
fully. most Of the legislation
that has been passed or will be
passed isn't In the form the
administration wanted"
Taking a similar position,
Senator Clifford P. Case, Re-
publican of New Jersey, said on
a tapped television program that
what he called the failure OF
the administration program
can be attributed to Mr.. Ken
nedy's not setting up priorities
and organizing support for his
bills.

vehicle. The rocket is a two
stage Atlas-Agena B with the
capability Of stopping, coastine
and restarting in orbit. The
payload is a more or less conical
shaped affair about five feet in
diameter and twice as high
The scientific instruments
aboard weigh a little less than
IL pounds.
Far more ambitious Venus
probes had been planned for
this year with total payloads
Of nearly half a ton. These
plans had to be scrapped last
October when it became appar-
ent the "Centaur" hydrogen
fueled upper stage for the Atlas
would not be ready in time.
The United States and the So
Wet Union each have launched
one partially successful payload
aimed in the direction of We
nus: The American Pioneers
in March. 1860, and the Rus
sian Sputnik-7 probe of Feb
ruary 1861.
In addition to the unsuccess-
full Mariner-1 Of last month, II
is possible that another Venus
probe was launched without
success. Some observers be-
lieved that the Russian Cos
moss Of August 18 may have
had a Venus payload aboard, to
be launched piggy-back" from
orbit as was the February, 1861,
probe.
If Mariner-2 does not 60 to-
morrow on its To-day, lo0-
million-mile trip, it can be de-
layed on a day-to-day basis
until about September is. After
that the relative positions of
earth and Venus in their orbits
around the sun will make it i'm
possible for the shot to be
attempted.

Mariner-2 could lead to defini-
tive answers to q number Of
