Washington - (Science Serv-
- lce)-Man can land on the
- mystery planet Venus after
making its air suitable for hu
mans. This job could be done
... by dropping primitive plants
v into the planet's atmosphere,
then waiting for results. : '
"; The primitive algea would
i. split the carbon dioxide be
u lieved to poison the air on
- Venus for humans. The result
j would be carbon and oxygen,
found in the earth's atmos-
phere.
Dr. Carl Sagan of the Uni
" versity of California, Berke-
ley, believes the best algae
i to drop on Venus are the blue-
green algae (primarily of the
!f. Nostocaceae family).
'? Need Experiments
; He said many experiments
on developing algae in a
simulated atmosphere like that
on Venus should be made.
Such experiments would show
" which strain of this algae is
better suited to live in and
- reproduce and to change the
atmosphere of Venus.

Land on Venus
the existing conditions on
Venus nave Deen inorougn
ly investigated. Otherwise,
unique scientific information
might be lost, Dr. Sagan said.
The theories on the kind
of "weather" Venus has are
many and varied, but all are
no more than educated guesses
since the planet is covered by
a cloud layer that hides its
surface. The clouds were once
thought to be formed only of
dust, but water vapor has been
found to be about as abundant
as it is in the earth's atmos
phere, Dr. Sagan reported.
Some scientists think the
surface of Venus is dry wnue
others believe it is covered
with oceans of carbonated
water.
The algae first dropped on
Venus would live high in the
air and use water deposited
there in the form of water
vapor or ice crystals.-
Temperature Falls
As the carbon dioxide con
tent of the atmosphere on
Venus falls because of the
algae, the surface tempera
ture,' now believed to be 600
degrees Fahrenheit, would
begin to fall.
When the temperatures are
low enough, the decreasing
rate of: algal decomposition
would reduce the water abun
dance slightly, and the surface
may cool below the boiling
point of water, Dr. Sagan said.
At this point surface photo
synthesis (by which plants
produce food) would become
possible. At somewhat lower
temperatures rain would reach
the surface. A balance would
then- be established in the

Begin Supplying
Antarctic Bases
McMurdo Sound, Antarcti
ca (UPD U.S. Antarctic Com
mander Read Adm. David M.
Tyree reports that fuel trains
may replace aircraft in sup
plying vital fuel to American
tmeses inland in Antarctica.
The trains of tractors would
tow huge rubber tires filled
with thousands of gallons of
fuel.
Tyree said the use of rolli
tanker equipment, which cur
rently is being investigated,
looks like "the answer to the
problem of running the fuel
train overland rather than de
livering by air." . ? .
Rolli-tankers have been
use don the scientific traverse
from McMurdo Sound to the
South pole this season and on
the Victoria land traverse in
previous seasons.
Difficulty
Tyree said he doubted that
the project could be organized
by next season because of the
difficulty in acquiring equip
ment. He said it had been-proposed
that the U.S. Navy bor
row such tractors from the
U.S. Army to make an experi
mental run with the fuel train
from Little America to Byrd
station in Marie Byrd land,
but the possibility was fairly
remote because the cost would
be more than $1 million.
The rolli-tanker would con
sist of two huge tires, each
with a capacity of 500 gallons
of fuel. A platform between
the two tires permits carrying
equipment.
The admiral noted that fuel
requirements had increased at
all stations in Antarctica and
that Byrd station now was be
ing used more than before as
a staging point for field par
ties. He said fuel accounted
for more than half of the
weight of equipment used by
these parties. , .
Plane Corrects
Available Maps
Washington, (Science Serv
ice) - The U. S. now has a
plane that "knows" where it
is more precisely than the best
available maps and shows how
the maps should be corrected.
- Primary function of the es
pecially equipped Boeing 707
jet is to check navigational
aids at high altitudes. It does
this with a fast electronic
computer system, which re
cords as it monitors.
The system is so accurate
that the plane's position with
respect to the ground is
known within 400 feet at all
times. The stations are check
ed much faster and more ac
curately than by any previous
method.
In a four-hour light cover
ing 1,446 air miles, the plane
checked 35 ground stations
from an altitude of 32,000 feet.
Preliminary information in
dicated that there was radio
interference between stations
at Front Royal, Va., and
Charleston, W. Va., although
not enough to make a safety
hazard.
The plane, which cost $2,
600,000 and is considered a
bargain, is operated by the

Book Hitler Dictated in 1925 To
Be Published in Germany This Year
Munich-IOPD-For many West
Germans the haunting sha
dow of Adolf Hitler will nev
er quite fade away despite
the reports of historians that
the fuehrer died in the rub
ble of his empire 15 years ago.
The ghost of the man who
brought the world as much
misery as any plague will
cast its shadow again this year
through the familiar tortured
prose of a second book he
wrote, but chose not to pub
lish. In other times the book
would have the makings of a
sensation. But in Germany,
where the public has been
re-living the past it would
rather forget in brutal film
documentaries, educational ra
dio programs, books and tele-
visision Hitlers "Weltansc
hauung" is expected to have
little interest to the man on
the street.
The book will- be entitled
"Hitler's Second Book," a title
chosen by the staid Munich
Institute for Contemporary
History which plans to ..pub
lish it in late spring or sum
mer. "Mein Kampf" was Hitler's
first and only so far published
book. It became the National

Korea's Pusan
Still Suffers
Effects of War
Pusan, Korea-IUPJJ-Pusan Is
one of a few cities in Korea
that was not directly hit by
the Korean War. But the war
brought many problems to
this sprawling port city.
The war-time capital of Ko
rea, Pusan is over-populated,
filthy and full of refugees and
people without jobs.
With a population of 1.2
million, it is, after Seoul, the
second largest city of South
Korea.
But Pusan is designed for
only 400,000.
The over-population Is a
direct result of the Korean
War, which began in 1950 and
ended in an armistice in 1953.
After the war broke out,
thousands upon thousands of
refugees poured into this
southern port city. It was the
last major city held by the
United Nations and Republic
of Korea forces against the
advancing North Korean
troops in the summer of 1950
At the height of the fight
ing, the population swelled
to the peak of 1.5 million.
After the war ended, many
of the refugees returned to
their homes. But nearly a
half-million stayed. Most
were from North Korea and
had no place to go.
Acute Shortage
The result: The city now
suffers from an acute short
age of water, housing and
jobs.
Out of 190,000 families liv
ing in Pusan, 70,000 have no
homes of their own, accord
ing to city authorities. Many
of them live in canvas-cov
ered crate-wood shacks built
in clusters on hill slopes.
Many families have to buy
water by the bucket (4 cents
for a five-gallon bucket) from
water peddlers.
The city government esti
mates that one-sixth of the
city population is unemployed
or under-employed.
Pusan is also a city of
tragedies.
A year hardly passes in
Pusan without a large-scale
fire, typhoon, or traffic acci
dent that brings heavy casual
ties or leaves thousands of
people homeless.
In 1960 alone, 63 girl work
ers were burned to death in
a factory fire. Nearly a dozen
other Pusan residents were
killed, more than a score in
jured and nearly 20,000 left
Homeless by Typhoon Car
men last August.
Born as a-small fishing port
some 2,000 years ago, Pusan
now handles more than 70
per. cent of the nation's mari
time transportation. About
three-fourths of South Ko
rea's fishing industry is based
here.
There are several factories
in Pusan-a sugar refinery,
flour mills, canning and tex
tile plants. But manufactur
ing is not the basic industry.
It serves as the main sup
ply base for the 600,000-man
Republic of Korea armed
forces and the 50,000-man
United States force in Korea.

bers and a book that even
non-party Germans found it
wise to have on their book
shelves before and during the
war.
No Improvement
Few understood the twisted
prose of "Mein Kampf" and
reviewers who have obtained
a glimpse of the Fuehrer's
second book report it is no
improvement.
It is the 324-page manu
script Hitler dictated to his
personal secretary in 1925
when he was but a drop In
the political whirlpool that
later engulfed the world.
Shortly after Hitler com
pleted "Mein Kampf" he sec
retly began laying down his
thoughts on foreign policy in
another book which he plant

parently made no move to
publish it.
Institute officials said Al
bert Zoller, a French liaison
officer to the U.S. Army, first
mentioned its existence in a
book he wrote about Hitler
after World War II.
In 1951 the institute took
up the hunt in earnest. Docu
ments were examined and re
searchers questioned persons
who might know what hap
pened to the manuscript. The
first break came when Josef
Berg, former section chief of
the Nazi publishing house,
told the institute the manu
script had been stored in sec
recy and later confiscated by
an American officer in 1945.
In the United States, Ger
hard L. Weinberg, professor
at Chicago University, had
started a similar search for
the book. He and Dr. Her

the institute, finally found the
manuscript burled among oth
er captured documents in the
National Archives in Washing
ton. Typing errors showed
that the book had been dic
tated directly into the type
writer of Hitler's secretary.
Funds Low
Weinberg has written the
commentary to the book and
it is his belief that Hitler de
cided the words he dictated in
1925 were not the words he
thought opportune to publish
later. Another opinion is that
the book was withheld , be
cause party funds were low,
and "Mein Kampf" was not
selling.
The book was ready for
publication last October, and
was briefly reviewed in at
least one German newspaper,
but then it became unclear
as to who exactly had the
publishing rights.
Many of the nebulous ideas
which Hittler expressed in
"Mein Kampf" were repeated
in the second manuscript.
Publishing rights of the
Nazi Party were transferred
to the State of Bavaria after
the war. The State Finance
Ministry gave rights of the
book to the institute. But
there still are some doubts
the ministry was on strictly
legal ground
Munich officials say it is
possible that one of the six
distant relatives of Hitler
could claim royalties. But In
stitute officials are confident
the book will be ready for
publication before too long.
