r SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, January 1, 1958 Many Nuggets of Information Accumulated by I GY Scientists I among By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Presi Correspondent and West who are working to Washington TP The earth j gether in IGY. That is the is cracked. I word of Hugh Odishaw. execu- Under the tidal influence of j tive directc of the U.S. Na the moon, its skin crawls andtional Comn ittee for the In heaves. ternational Geophysical Year. It is pelted without surcease From the ' start, Odishaw by particles billions of times told the United Press, '"there scientists of the East ! perhaps four times as dense more energetic than a split ting uranium atom. Intense electric currents periodically ring it. It and all the other spin ning planets wheel on their courses within an envelope of thin hot gas flung into space by the sun. These are a few nuggets of information gleaned from an immense store of information accumulated in the first six months of the greatest scien tific venture ever undertaken by man. This venture, designed to Icarn everything possible about the mysterious earth and the even stranger space in which it moves, is the In ternational Geophysical Year (IGY;. It started last July 1 and comes to an end next Dec. 31. No formal official pro gress report has yet been made, but one is being pre pared and will be released here in the next few weeks. Satellites Biggest Sersation The most sensational achievements of the IGYs first months were the launch ing of the Soviet satellites on Oct. 4 and Nov. 3. They stirred the world and in tensified the Cold War be tween politicians of the East and West because of the im plications they contained of Soviet power in the field of military rocketry. But any public dismay over the Russian moons has not "impaired the relations" as previously thought. A continuous 45,000-mile rift exists in the earth's un dersea crust. It averages 20 miles wide and IV2 miles deep. It coincides with te world-wide chain of earth quake zones. New pictures of the sun disclosed never before - seen features, including swirling gas storms 200 to 600 miles across. The greatest ocean depth ever found was reported by a Russian oceenographic ship in i the Pacific Marianas trench. The depth was 35,948 feet, or about 6Vi miles. Cosmic rays, charged "messengers from space," achieve energies of several billion billion electronic volts. By comparison a splitting atom in an A-bomb releases only 200 million electron volts of energy. Huge eruptions of the sun, spewing gas and atomic particles hundreds of thous ands of miles into space at speeds of 500 miles a second, energy as could be packed into a billion big H-bombs.

But enough announce ments have been made by IGY scientists independently in va rious parts of the world to pro vide a large bits-and-pieces sample of discoveries to d.te.
