IGY is a cooperative scientific effort by 62 nations including Russia and most of her satellites to glean new information about the earth, its oceans, it's atmos phere and the sun which strongly affects life on the planet. About 10,000 scientists are participating in the 18-inonth studies, opening of ficially today. Practical benefits such as better weather forecasting, improved communications' and navigation are hoped for as a result of the pooled research. The solar flare a giant geyser of solar particles and radiation streaming out probably hundreds of thousands of miles from the sun's surface reached the canh Sunday in the form of magnetic storms in the high atmosphere. Such high-altitude storms, which sometimes disrupt radio and tele graph communications, are "as tempestous as hurricanes are in weather disturbances," said a spe cial bulletin from American IGY headquarters. Radio blackouts were expected to occur in many places through out the world before nightfall to day.

SOON House Croup Reverses Self; Votes For Loans WASHINGTON i The House Foreign Affairs Committee re versed itself Monday and voted 17-10 to authorize a three-year loan fund for economic devclop- i mcnt in foreign countries. The action marks a victory for President Eisenhower, who - had sought the long-term authority on the ground it is needed for a sound long-range program of economic aid to other countries. However, the House group voted for less money in future years than Eisenhower wanted. It auth orized 500 million dollars each year for fiscal 1959 and 1960 in stead of the 750 million Eisenhow er requested. For the coming 12-months pe riod, the committee stayed with its previous okay of 500 million dollars for the development funds the exact amount Eisenhower sought. The committee vote was a I switch from its decision last Fri day. It came in closed session as the group neared final action on Eisenhower's $3,865,000,000 foreign aid bill.
