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 sound
was variously described as a ser
ies of dots, a low moan, and
"some kind of code group."
An FCC spokesman said the
commission had received reports
of "interference" on 14.286 kilo
cycles. 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.

'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.

Mamie's Health Said Not Factor
Washington W The White
House denied today that Mrs.
Eisenhower's health is a factor
in the President's decision not to
pay a state visit to Britain this
year.
Acting Press Secretary Anne
Wheaton said the President prob
ably will not be able to visit Lon
don in connection with his De
camber trip, to Paris for the
NATO "summit" conference.
"The President would like to
go to London sometime later on,"
Mrs. Wheaton said, "but it does
not look as if he would go there
on this trip." She said he will
need to get back on the job in
Washington immediately after
the NATO meeting.
She pointed out that a London
visit, repaying Queen Elizabeth's
good will visit to the U. S. last
month, never has been definitely
scheduled.
Asked if Mrs. Eisenhower's
health was the real reason for
deferring the suggested London
visit, as isritisn government or-

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."

day's election results they would
have a "fight on their hands if
victory is to be achieved in the

"It is clear that the Republi
