o - lkers Japanese Security Guard To Include Half of Tokyo Force By CHARLES R. SMITH Tokyo - IUPD - President Eisenhower will be the most heavily-guarded head of state ever to visit Japan when he arrives here June 19. The security guard will In clude more than half the total Tokyo police force. Japanese officials frankly are worried about protecting the President. Anti-American demonstrations by both So , cialists and Communists have been virtually da..y occur rences since May 19 when the K i s h 1 government rammed through ratification of the U.S,-Japanese mutual secur ity treaty. Over-Protection Seen American security officials are reported to believe that the President runs a greater risk in being "over protect ed" and, therefore, blamed for any suppression by police of ;demonstrntions, than in be ing underguarded. They have left the p-i' cipal business of protection to their Japanese counterparts who face: -Threat e n c d Violence by fanatical ultra-leftist members of the Zengakuren students or ganization. -Another threatened dem onstration by Sohyo, the leftist-led labor union confeder ation, which claims 3,500,000 members. -Rightist groups which may cause trouble by attacking leftists. -The chance of a crackpot or fanatic trying to attack the President. Fanatics Cause Worry Said a high security of ficial: "What we are worried about mostly s some fanatic individual who might make an attempt to attack Eisen hower." The Socialists have waged a relentless "stop Eisenhower visit" campaign s i n i e an nouncement of the trip. Security officials hjre have expressed the hope that Amer ican officials are aware of these very real dangers.

Earth Said to Be Gradually Losing Gravity Washington - IUPD - Maybe Mother Earth is gradually losing her chief attraction gravity. Wrinkles could follow. This is the contention of the National Geographic So ciety, which says some sci entists hold with the idea that our globe's magnetism is slowly but steadily fading out. If they are right, the scien tists figure, the earth in time will become somewhat bloat ed and its outer skin will develop widening cracks. One argument in support of their theory is the discov ery of a single, wandering fracture about 45,000 miles long already encircling the globe. Acts in Balance The fading-gravity idea has been kicking around for more than 20 years. But it becomes more important as man finds out more and more about this strange force that holds him on the earth, and also holds the known universe together. It poses one of the main problems of rocketry and space exploration. At the same time, it acts in balance against other forces to keep satellites swinging around the globe. Time was, scientists thought mass and distance were the controlling factors in gravita tion. But Dr. Homer E. New ell, science director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, now says at least a dozen other influences have been found. In fact, the more man learns about this cosmic force, the more riddles he finds fac ing him. One term gravity investiga tors use is "Gals"-meaning not young females, but measurement of gravitational pull named after Galileo, who pioneered in the field. . Variations Measured Sensitive devices, such as quartz rod suspended in an airless tube, are used in meas ure variations of as little as )AAL Evhihif af milllgal. Oil firms have UUUIV LAIIIWII 111 gambled thousands on a test drill because such a tiny dif ference at a particular spot might indicate a petroleum deposit. Gravity is strongest at the Poles, where the earth's crust is closer to its center, and weakest in the high equatorial mountains. A fat man, there for, could lose about a half pound by moving from Wash ington to Quito, Ecuador. But the apparent reduction in gravity isn't going to save anybody any reducing pills. If it is occurring, the loss would be far less than a mil lionth of a pound in a year.
