14 MAIL TRIBUNI, Modford, Or. A Thursday, April il, 1960 ANOTHER WEISFIELDS FIRST! 1 11 1 United States Leading Russia In Space Probes Washington (Science Serv ice) Against Russia's six spectacular bids tor world leadership In space explora tion, the U.S. has made more than three times as many suc cessful launchings. Who is ahead? The U.S. satellites have stayed up longer than the USSR's. More U.S. moons now circle the earth. The American satellites have discovered that the earth has belts of radiation about it and that the earth has a pear shape. They have made the first determination for the denstiy of micrometeors in interplanetary space and the first measurements of in terplanetary magnetic fields. An American satellite first beamed the recorded human voice from space. Record Established And Pioneer V has estab lished a space communications record. Tiros I is sending to earth excellent photographs of the earth's cloud cover. The USSR has not publish ed scientific findings to match those of the U.S. But Russia has accomplish ed these feats: Sputnik I, weighing four tons, on Oct. 4, 1B57, became the world s first satellite. Sputnik II, weighing about the same, carried the dog "Laika" and led to the dis covery that the sun signific antly influences upper atmos phere densities. First Sun Satellite Sputnik III carried 7,000 pounds aloft, 2,925 pounds of which formed the instrument ed payload. On Jan. 2, 1059, Lunik I became the first, arti ficial satellite of the sun. The USSR's Lunik II, bear ing the Soviet coat of arms, hit the moon on Sept. 13, 1959. Less than a month later Lunik III produced photographs showing 70 per cent of the far side of the moon. The payloads of thess six shots weighed half aain as much as the weight of all the U.S. payloads put together. Still, some Americans feel that the USSR's greater rock et thrust does not matter. One Congressman argued in a rec ent hearing that America's better miniaturization of in sturments puts the U.S. on par with Russia, that Rus sia s might is only needed to orbit bulkier insturments. "But sir," replied a testi fying scientist, "you can not miniaturize people." 12-Mile Limit Could Bottle English Channel Washington (Science Serv ice) A 12-mlle sea limit, auch as proposed unsuccessfully by the Soviet bloc at the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea at Geneva, could bottle up the English Channel. An atlas will show the po litical implications of six-and 12-mile limits around the world. Could Seal Channel The English Channel Is. at its narrowest point, 21 miles wide. Adoption of the Russian-favored 12-mlle limit would, therefore, enable Eng land and France, acting to gether, to seal off the Ens lish Channel. Shipping from Russian Baltic ports, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Holland and Scandinavia would -thus be forced to go around the north of Scotland, a long and often hard route in winter, in order to reach the rest of the world. Other possibilities are the legal sealing up of the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas by the mutual agreement of only two nations in each case. The United States-Canada compromise for six mile territorial sea, and a further six-mile fishing zone received approval, and the delegates rejected the Afro-Asian-Latin American plan for self-determined territorial limit of up to 12 miles. This latter proposal was supported by the Soviet bloc. Proposal Approved The Conference also ap proved for further consider ation the Icelandic proposal that states whose economics depend largely upon their fishing Industries should nave preferential fishing rights In their coastal waters. Although the main purpose of the U. N. Conference is to provide a basis for the settle ment of fishing acspuies, wun especial reference to the long standing feud between the Icelandic and the British fish ing fleets, certain political aspects came to light, and were debated with some vlg- a, i iyo No $5 Trade-in B ViXUfi I 1 I'J$flkmmji I WIISFIILD1, SM 'x iowfrici PROCTOR ifer- ,ssss!safta5 2 Height - Adjustable J;s!v k IRONING TABLE with PAD and COVER T"" OHiol laai glvo mora knot f&SstS Mn " 01 m ,ow" pp room and pravant wobbla, asiaw,ijpBaBMasBBM Swival front foot Spacially iX -. dtslgnad if a a m v a n top "TiX covar always itay smooth! aV.
