LOS ANGELES (i-GovTAdlal
E. Stevenson said Thursday night
the turning point in the struggle
for peace was President Truman's
decision to send American forces
into Korea. 1
The Democratic presidential
nominee, speaking over a nation
wide television and radio hookup,
asserted that the Communist in
vasion of South Korea "was not
an isolated incident but a part of
the whole world struggle.'"
The Illinois governor thus pro
vided a Democratic answer to
charges by General Dwight D.
Eisenhower, the Republican nomi
nee, that the Truman administra
tion had "fumbled and bumbled"
ts way into the Korean struggle.
Stevenson spoke from a studio
after he was acclaimed by about
100,000 persons on his arrival here
and in a parade through Los An
geles streets. i
"There is a much broader prob
em than can be expressed in the
one word Kprea,' be said. "The
hopes of the world Were lifted by
the . decision to halt forceful ag
gression in Korea. President Tru
man's courageous decision was

Charge Delays
He charged that the British, who
want compensation and damages
for. losses under a contract due to
run until 1993, intended merely to
waste tune by continuing the note
exchange and "prevent us from
taking another economic path
which would bring salvation and
freedom to the Iranian people."
"The British government so far
has prevented our reaching an
agreement," Mossadegh said.
"The Iranian government is un
fortunately obliged to break diplo
matic relations with Britain."
That means withdrawal of dip
lomats from the Iranian embassy
in London and return of British
diplomats from Tehran. Interna
tional custom allows each nation
to name another to represent its
interests. -Blame
Mossadegh
I British officials in London de
clared Mossadegh was solely to
blame for the break. They called
it-"a futile. move." It lessens
chances of a settlement by remov
ing a major means of contract be
tween the two nations, iney saia,
but Britain intends to go on seek
ing a settlement. .
I The U. S. State Department saia
Mossadegh's decision "is to be re-

much more difficult."

AP Aviation Reporter
WASHINGTON UP)- The Navy
announced Thursday night it has
launched rockets from giant bal
loons, high above the north geo
magnetic pole, and sent them to
altitudes of about 40 miles lit
erally above the top of the world.
The instrument-laden balloons,
tall as 10-story buildings, were re
leased from the Coast Guard ice
breaker Eastwind in Baffin Bay,
west of northern Greenland. -
The j soaring rockets radioed '
back cosmic radiation measure
ments at the one point on thi
globe where the earth's magnetw
field has the least influence on in
coming: cosmic ray particles. T
Tabulations Begin '
It will take scientists months to
tabulate and interpret the lnfor-
mation obtained.
This 40 miles is the sreatest
height I known to have been
reached in these latitudes,",-the
Navy said. The' Navy also sent i
photographic "nuclear emulsion"
plates aboard the balloons to alti
tudes Of about 80,000 feet, or 17
miles.
The
valuable photographic
and equipment from two
plates
of the.
balloons were seen to para
chute '! safely to earth. One set
landed on EUesmere island west
of Greenland, and the other on the
Greenland icecap within 10 miles
of the! geomagnetic pole.
Storms Slow Test -
The snow storms during the
last of August and early Septem
ber ; prevented Navy helicopters
from .recovering the equipment,"
the Navy announcement said.
1 "Dr. Marcel Schein of the Uni
versity of Chicago has offered
reward of $100 for the return of
this equipment and there is some
hope that it may be recovered by
the Greenlanders or Eskimos dur
ing the coming spring."
Fourteen balloons, ranrinz in
diameter from 55 to more than 100
feet, .were launched from a flight
deck! only 60 feet square. It was
the first time this has been done
from a vessel as small as an ice
breaker.
Deacon Type Balloons
The Eastwind had to race down-
wind, through iceberg-strewn
waters, at the speed of the wind in
order to create the no-wind can-:
dition essential lor launching.
The rockets launched from
some of the balloons were of the
"deacon" type, less than eieht
inches In diameter and more than
10 feet long'.
Each rocket carried either a
Geiger counter or an ionization
chamber to measure the cosmic
radiation and "telemeter" the data
back to the Eastwind for recording .
and! analysis.
