Eisenhower Hopes
To Achieve Goal
Washington (Science Serv
ice) - President Eisenhower
has little hope of achieving
an East-West agreement on
nuclear test suspension dur
ing his administration; but to
get such an agreement still
remains one of his cherished
goals.
The President's pessimistic
appraisal of chances for a
pact with Moscow on nuclear
tests was given in response
to a science service question
at his news conference.
Pointing to the history of
nearly two years of unsuc
cessful negotiations at Gene
va, the President bluntly ad
mitted the prospect for suc
cess now "doesn't seem too
good."
"Nothing," he said, "would
gratify me more than to
achieve between the East and
West some agreement that
would bring a bit more of
peace of mind to all our peo
ple." Stresses Need
He stressed the need for ef
fective policing ('on both
tides" to be part of such a
pact.
The question of inspection
requirements has been one of
the major stumbling blocks in I
negotiations between East and '
West on this subject. I
On the subject of further
studies before enacting legis
lation for the medical health
and care for the aged, Presi
dent Eisenhower said that a
great deal of study and con
sultation on the subject al
ready has been completed
and this group of people
"need help now."
He favors the administra
tion proposals for help for the
aged even if it should be more
expensive than the Democratic-sponsored
"pay-as-you-go"
bill because he is "against
compulsory medicine."
Issued Statement
President Eisenhower also
issued a statement on recent
U. S. space conquests, saying
thatthey demonstrated "be
yond all doubt the vigor, ca
pabilities and leadership of
the U. S. . . . in exploration
and utilization of space."
"The United States," he
said, "leads the world in the
activities in the space field
that promise real benefit to
mankind."
Canadians Find
Muscle Changes
Ottawa, Canada, - (Science
Service) - As a man grows
older, his heart muscle under
goes more change, of a cer
tain chemical nature, than
other major tissues in the
body, two Canadian research
ers have reported here.
Drs. Kanaka Mori and Jean
Paul Duruisseau of the Uni
versity of Montreal have
measured the concentrations
of sodium, potassium, phos
phorous, calcium, magnesium
and chloride ions present in
the body tissues of rats 1-36
months old. They round that
older heart muscle not only
showed a decrease in all ex
cept phosphate ion, but also
confirmed the loss of cardiac
tissue water previously re
ported. This means that the
concentration drop was not
due to dilution with water.
"These changes in the wa
ter and electrolytes (the ions)
of cardiac muscle with age
may be important to the un
derstanding of various geron
tological problems," the doc
tors state.
Liver Is Second
The tissue showing the sec
ond greatest degree of change
was the liver, where all the
positively charged ions except
calcium decreased as the ani
mal grew older.
Age brought about a "strik
ing decrease" in magnesium
concentration of the aorta,
where calcium showed a grad
ual increase.
The brain, by contrast,
showed no change, and only
chloride increased in the ser
um of older animals. There
was also little change in skel
etal muscle, the type found
on the arms and legs. Only
potassium and calcium de
creased with age.
The doctors state that the
decrease in potassium and
magnesium in aged heart
muscle and liver "might be
connected with a general re
duction in cellular functions
of these tissues."
'Remarkable Decrease'
Other workers, the research
ers note in the Canadian
Journal of Biochemistry and
Physiology, have found a
"remarkable decrease" in
metabolic rale in the aged
heart in rats.
The doctors are now work
ing at the Institute de Geron
tologie, Hospital Notre-Dame
de la Merci, Montreal.
News Satellite
Speeds Stories
Washington, (Science Serv
Ice)-The "news satellite,"
Courier, launched recently is
designed to demonstrate the
way a satellite could speed
news and other communica
tions around the world.
News stories by many
American newspapermen
beamed to the satellite' can
be immediately rebroadcast
to the ground or taped and
broadcast to the ground later.
The broadcasting and re
ceiving stations equipped to
work with Courier are at Ft.
Monmouth, N.J., and the U.S.
Army Caribbean Signal Ag
ency's Space Communication
center near Ponce, Puerto
Rico.

Clothing Burglar
. Loses Own Coat
Atlanta - A burglar left
with less than he started with
when he tried to rob a down
town hotel room.
Police said Mrs. J. D. Bul
lock of Columbia, S.C., fright
ened the burglar away when
she entered her seventh floor
room.
Instead of carting off the
Bullocks' clothing as he in
tended to do, police reported,
the thief left his own coat be
hind while making a hasty
exit through a window to a
nearby building.
Apparently he removed his
. coat before trying to squeeze
under the screen on the win
dow after climbing a fire es-
: cape.
' Police Offer Hints
For Safe Crackers
Santa Monica, Calif. - Don
aid V. Crackers, 21, told po
lice who booked him for safe
cracking that he had received
expert instruction.
. Crackers told officers he
used a phony press pass to get
Into a police meeting where
veteran locksmiths were de

ing safes and locked doors,.
"Those boys sure know
their stuff and explain it
well," he said.
over ground teletype equip
ment faster than at most
newspapers. This special
equipment will handle the
approximately 68,000 words
Courier can receive and trans
mit over its 20 teletype chan
nels in a minute.
The teletypes in a news
paper office handle about 60
words a minute. In a five
minute pass over a station,
Courier could send and re
ceive about 340,000 words
about half the number of
words in the Bible.
Voice Channels
The 500-pound satellite al
so has four voice channels.
For each one in use, how
ever, four teletype channels
must be silenced.
The sphere, powered by
19,200 solar cells, is impor
tant militarily because scien
tists predict it will be harder
to disturb than other com
munications systems, such as
underwater cables. It broad
casts over secret frequencies
in the ultra-high range, never
before used in satellite com
munication. The width of the frequency
band is very narrow, much
too narrow for television, for
example.
The 51-inch-diameter sphere
was put into orbit by an Air
Force Thor-Able-Star. This
was the third time the Air
Force had used this com
bination of rockets.
Warnings Unheeded;
Guards Take-Over
Port Chester, N.Y.-OT-If
the nurses can't enforce visit
ing hour rules perhaps Pink
erton guards can.
' Such is the view of the
United hospital, which dis
closed it has hired uniformed
Pinkerton men to prevent
more than two visitors in a
room at a time.
"We have found as many
as nine people at a time vis
iting a patient," said a hos
pital official.
Nurses warnings were go
ing unheeded, he said, and
"th recovery of the patients
has been endangered."
