WASHINGTON ifi Scientists of
many countries concentrated to
day on studying the effects of a
major explosion on the sun which
coincided nicely with the opening
of the International Geophysical
Year.
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

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. The committee has al
ready voted to chop 600 million
dollars off that figure.
