Jerusalem; Situation Quiet
By WALTER LOGAN
United Press Correspondent
Jordan's Ramallah Radio
lerted Jordanian and Saudi
Arabian troops today against
"Zionist danger."
Armed Jordanian soldiers pa
O trolled the streets of old Jeru
salem throughout the night and
this morning and the situation
was reported quiet but tense.
There was no report on the
activities of the Saudi Arabian
troops who entered Jordan last
year during Israel's invasion of
the Sinai Peninsula.
The Ramallah broadcast con
firmed the troops were still in
Jordan.
High Israeli sources predicted
the crisis between Israel and
Jordan might worsen within the
next few days and expressed
hope a visit by U.N. Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold
would ease the situation.
Hammarskjold leaves New
York Friday, and an Amman,
Jordan, dispatch said he would
arrive there Sunday in response
to a cable from the government
of King Hussein.
United Nations observers in
the no man's land between Jor
dan and Israel watched through
the night over the flood-lit bar
riers despite Jordan's announced
intention of ignoring the truce
- organization until Col. Byron T.
Leary is replaced as chief truce
supervisor.
Few Tourists
Only a few tourists strolled
through the narrow bazaars of
the Jordan section of Jerusalem
today. Heavily armed guards pa
trolled the roads leading out of
Jerusalem, and only persons
with special passes got through.
Israeli officials were keeping

der as well as the Jordanian bor
der. There have been three
shooting frays on the Syrian
border this week and Israel
sources feared more.
United Press Correspondent
Eliav Simon reported in a Jeru
salem, Israel, dispatch that the
crisis between Jordan and Israel
would deepen if Jordan contin
ues to refuse passage of a relief
convoy for the Mount Scopus
area, site of an Israel school and
hospital behind Jordan lines.
Violations Discussed
Leary met Monday night with
Premier David Ben-Gurion and
Foreign Minister Golda Meir
when recent charges and counter-charges
of border violations
with Jordan had precipitated
the current tenseness to impress
other Arab nations.

Flying Saucer

By CHINA ALTMAN
United Press Correspondent
Cambridge, Mass. (IP) Dr.
Donald H. Menzel, director of
Harvard college observatory,
said today flying saucer reports
these days can be attributed
largely to "Sputnikitis."
Menzel, long known as one of
the leading saucer debunkers,
said he was not implying that all
reports are psychological hyster
ia. "Most of these images actually
exist and have been seen," he
6aid, "but they are just not
what people thought they saw.
"And I just don't believe those
reports of saucers putting out
lights and stalling engines. That
was probably just a nervous foot
on the accelerator."
Some Causes
Menzel lists these causes of
"flying saucer" reports:
Searchlights playing on thick
cloud layers of cloud or moist.
Venus, Jupiter or various oth
er bright stars, bright fireballs
- nt WORLD S HNEST BuuKflui Q
between Israel officials and
Hammarskjold is that of Israel
rights under the armistice agree
ment to visit holy places in Jor
danian territory, Simon report
ed. The Israelis claim the Jor
danians have refused this right.
The situation between Israel
and Syria also was a trouble
some one for Hammarskjold to
face. Israel has complained that
local Syrian commanders have
ignored an agreement and con
tinue to attack Israeli workers
engaged in soil improvement
and drainage projects near the
border. -
Damascus dispatches said
Syria regarded this work as a
breach of the armistice agree
ment. A Syrian military spokes
man also accused five Israeli sol
diers Monday night of infiltrat
ing into Arab territory Monday
and opening fire on shephards.
Reports Are
Sputnikitis
and even the moon shining
through broken clouds.
Reflection from distant planes,
jet aircraft, vapor trails, bal
loons, spider webs, peculiar
clouds.
Phenomena related to the Au
rora Borealis. Some unusual
forms of shooting stars.
Most Explained
Menzel does believe there are
some saucer reports which "rep
resent natural phenomena that
we simply still do not fully un
derstand," but he contends that
most can be explained.
'.'A whirlpool of air near an
airplane may reflect a distant
light and appear to be a flying
saucer alongside the ship," he
said.
Menzel confesses that he has
personally seen and chased sau
cers. "I admit that strange sights
do appear in the sky, more in
deed than the average man re
alizes," he said. "I have my

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Space travel stuff:
The other day our Air Force
(presumably somewhere down
in the New Mexico desert) fired
what amounts to a king-size
shotgun load of aluminum balls
about the size of a marble up
into the air way, WAY up into
the heavens.
A booster jigger wag used. A
rocket nose-cone streaked 54
miles up into the sky and then
burst with an explosive charge,
flinging the marble-size t balls
into space.
At least two of them escaped
the earth's gravity and scientists
think they probably fell into the
gravity pull of the sun. (In
which event, of course, they
went poof! in a burst of metallic
vapor, for the surface tempera
ture of the sun is about 12,000
degrees Fahrenheit. In case it
interests you, the temperature
of the sun at its CENTER is be
lieved to be about 40 MILLION
degrees Fahrenheit.)
Hc
OW does this gravity busi
ness work?
Try this on your tabletop:
Park a magnet somewhere on
the smooth surface of the table.
Place some other magnets
around it at varying distances.
Get yourself a smooth steel ball
say a ball bearing of modest
size. Roll the ball gently away
from your center magnet. As
long as it stays within the pull
of the center magnet, it will
COME BACK to the center mag
net. But
When it gets away from the
pull of the center magnet and
INTO the pull of one of the oth
er magnets, it will go to THAT
magnet.
That's the gravity story in an
imaginary nutshell.
SO MUCH for how it happened.
Now for what it means.
ONE of our Air Force scientists
(Maurice Dubin of the U. S.
Air Force research center at
Cambridge, Massachusetts) says
this break-through of the earth's
gravitational barrier MAY PIN
POINT A PATH TO THE
MOON.
In other words
The same technique that hurl
ed a bucketful or a wagon
load, or maybe only two alumi
num pellets the size of a marble
beyond the earth's grasp could
SEND A ROCKET TO THE
MOON.
IT HAS another angle:
This experiment, which be
gan over a month ago, is be
lieved to be MAN'S FIRST
BREAK-THROUGH TO INTER
PLANETARY SPACE.
If that is true
IT PUTS ONE OVER ON
SPUTNIK.
THAT is to say:

RECOGNITION OF DIABETES
Throughout this country be
tween Nov. 17 and 23, special
effort is being made to warn
people of the
need for rec
ognizing diabe-
tes early.
There must be
around a mil
lion persons in
the country
who have a
beginning o r
even a serious
diebetes and
Ml
Dr Alvarez
don't know it.
Common symp-
toms are, increased thirst with
increased passage of urine, and
increased hunger, perhaps with
loss of weight. Persons who have
diabetic relatives, who are stout,
and are Jewish, should be par
ticularly careful to have their
urine checked and ther blood
sugar estimated at least once a
year. The blood test is often the
more revealing because many
persons go around for some time
with an excess of sugar in their
blood but not enough to "spill
over" into the urine. All people
who get crops of boils should
quickly have their blood sugar
measured, also all elderly per
sons who suffer from generalized
itching and all persons who start
losing their sight.
Diabetes is due to a destruc
tive process in certain cells in
the pancreas a large digestive
gland which lies back of the
stomach. These so-called islet
cells produce the insulin which
we must all of us have if we
are to handle the sugar we take
in. Without insulin our fats al
so are not well handled.
Small children can get dia
betes, and when they do they
must have the very best of care
if they are to grow up strong
and well. Diabetic women, when
pregnant, also need special care
if they are to have a live baby.
Today, there is little excuse
for a diabetic's getting into se
rious trouble or losing his life,

Even children with the severest
form of the disease can be kept
in good health with the help of
insulin. Older persons usually
have a milder type of diabetes
which can be controlled either
with diet or with the new pill
that can be taken by mouth.
Younger persons with severe dia
betes are not likely to get relief
from the new medicine.
It is important that everyone
with diabetes read one of the
booklets that have been pre
pared for laymen by experts
in this field A man's health and
his life will depend on his knowl
edge of diabetes, and perhaps
of the way in which insulin must
be taken. Today, Dr. Joslin, the
great expert, says that if a dia
betic will behave properly and
intelligently, he should live out
his three score and ten.
Not so the diabetic who. be
haves well for a while and then
goes on a binge of eating. Such
a man's doctor may forgive
him, but his body won't, and,
as a result, he may get into se
rious trouble with his arteries
or his eyes or his kidneys. To
day, no diabetic should die of
his diabetes, but if he does not
behave he can die of arterios
clerosis. Average Earning of
