Above, Millie Mysterious New Space Signals Being Studied Washington W Powerful radio receivers tilted skyward today to tune in on a mysterious new signal from space. The Federal Communications Commission alerted its monitor ing stations to try and fix the origin of the signal. Ham operators across the na tion reported hearing the signal on 14.286 kilocycles.

The spokesman pointed out that the frequency is far re moved from the frequency on which the Sputnik II radiiP op erates. Not Classified The spokesman denied reports that t information was "cla&i fii" or "declassified." He said (ynas no classification. He also pointed out that all in terference on radio frequencies is investigated by the FCC. He said he did not know why the interference had been linked in some reports with the new satel lite, which broadcasts on 20 and 40 megacycles. The spokesman said that when the Russians launched Sputnik I the FCC's 18 monitoring units throughout the country picked jj the signals and other infor mation and turned it over to the U. S. satellite project. Pilot Overdue At Pendleton . Pendleton (IP A Californ ia pilot w u overdue today on a flight from Condon, Ore., to (TjPendleton and an aerial search was under way.

'Warm Up' of No Value To Alhletes Santa Barbara, Calif. (IB The warm-up period long thought to be an assist to ath letes has been shown to have no value. The "cold" athletes did just as well as the "warmed up" ones. Even in specific test activities the warm-up did not help. For speed, -'the athletes were re quired to ride one-tenth mile on a bicycle ergometer; for strength to throw a soft ball the maxi mum distance; and for accuracy to score as many successful bas ketball free throws as possible in' ten tries. In all, 360 tests were tried by the researchers, but no proof that warming-up increases any of the three abilities was found. f w; n j , s ' v 0 .

To Get Testimony On Rackets Probe Washington IP) Senate Rackets Committee Chairman John L., McClellan said today portions of testimony given on anti-union practices by manage ment will be sent to the In ternal Revenue Bureau and Justice Department. McClellan said the transcript should "interest" both tax agents and legal experts. The Arkansas Democrat wound up the management phase of the hearings Tuesday, declar ing they had shown activities that "reflect a great discredit on some business firms in this coun try." McClellan said there are no present plans to produce more witnesses such as Nathan W. Shefferman, whose firm Labor Relations Associates, Inc. was pictured as an instrument for management improprieties against labor in two weeks of testimony. The chairman said, however, the committee will continue to expose any additional irregular ities it finds involving business or labor. McClellan commented that the committee's proposed inquiry into the bitter labor dispute in volving the Kohler Co., at Koh ler, Wis., will involve charges of improper activity against man agement and against the United Auto Workers Union. He said hearings starting Tuesday on garbage handling in New York City will explore the role of management as well as labor. The chairman said the com mittee, which has focused in the past on improper activities of labor leaders, is now on notice that some managements are just as "unscrupulous" and their practices just as "improper."
