District Director George K.
Rosenberg of the U.S. Immi

portation action was taken on
the basis of a 1932 change in
immigration laws. He said, the
law was modified to make a

necessary to be convicted in at
least two separate cases before

train. (UPI)
Weeks Needed To
Translate Mariner
Data Into
Washington - lUPn - It will
take scientists weeks to trans
late into English what Mariner
told them about Venus dur
ing its 42-minute fly-by Dec.
14.
Why? Because the inter
planetary space language used
by the scientists in their con
versation with Manner and
by Mariner in its radio reports
to earth is an extremely com
plicated code.
Mariner 2 had been trained
to use the code before it left
home. Aboard the 447-pound
spacecraft was a tiny device
whose sole job was to trans
late scientific measurements
into the agreed-upon code.
This was the so-called data
encoder. The data, in code
form, was transmitted by
Mariner to ground stations, nt
Goldstone, Calif.; Woomera,
Australia, and Johannesburg,
South Africa.
Low Wattage
. Mariner Transmitted at 2.89
watts, a power level at least
as low as the dimmest bulb
that ever purported to illumi
nate a murky passage in some
Old World wine cellar.
By the time it traversed a
million miles of space, the sig
nal had faded to a billionth
of a billionth of a watt. But
this was enough for the 85
foot radio dishes at the three
deep-space tracking stations.
They could amplify it and
record it on magnetic tape.
HST Birthplace
Attracts Visitors
Lamar. Mo. -fUrD- A simple
clapboard house here, the
birthplace of former Presi
dent Harry S. Truman, has
made this southwest Missouri
town a drawing place for tour
ing Americans.
The house was converted
to a state memori?" April 19.
1939, and since has attracted
more than 70,000 visitors.
Furniture of the late 10th
century has been installed.
The original furnishings have
long been scattered and lost.
A plaque was installed:
"In this room on May R.
1884, was born Harry S. Tru
man, whose faith in the youth
of this country has been an
inspiration to all. In honest
and sincere appreciation. The
citizens of Lamar."
Outside, flanked by Mis
souri and United States flags,
is a granite monument that
traces Truman's rise to the
presidency and his quotation:
"I ask only to be a good
and faithful servant of My
Lord and my people."

Enqlish
These stations for their part
had data decoding instru
ments. They recorded Mari
ner's pulses and frequency
switches in what one space
expert called "idiot writing."
Only about 50 persons
among the thousands belong
ing to the J e t Propulsion
Laboratory crew in California
which created Mariner can
make even slight sense out
of so-called "raw data" from
the spacecraft.
But fed into an IBM 7080
computer, the idiot language
comes out in digital form as
numbers which are intelligible
to scientists and engineers.
They are intelligible however,
only after the most careful
analysis.
The final Job of translating
the signals into English words
and the meaningful symbols
of science is one which can
be done only by skilled hu
man beings.
It is at least as difficult as
translating hieroglyphs found
in an Egyptian tomb. And
since the scientists can never
afford merely to guess, it will
take weeks or months to do
the job right.

Midlands Bask
In Record Heat
For December
United Press International
The nation's midlands
basked in a record-setting,
mid-December heat wave to
day. Cold rain and snow fell
along the coasts.
Sioux Falls, S. D., had 36
Monday, breaking by one de
gree the previous high set in
1927. Springfield, Mo., which
less than one week ago set
a record low of 5 below, had
68, equalling the previous
peak for Dec. 17 set in 1939.
Records were set from North
Dakota to Texas Sunday.
To the west, nine traffic
deaths in the San Francisco
Bay area were blamed on
rain, and mud and debris
closed two main highway ar
teries in San Francisco sub
urbs. Boats Upset
Turbulent surf conditions
along the Southern California
coast subsided Monday, al
though waves peaked at 12
feet, upsetting boats at Santa
Barbara and Redondo Beach.
Rain and drizzly fog
clogged the skies throughout
most of California and the
rains were heavy along the
northern California coast. A
persistent week-long fog kept
its cold clammy hold on Utah.
A forecaster said last week's
frost in Florida was the most
severe freeze of the century.
It caused losses to Florida's
vegetables, citrus fruits and
pastures "in the hundreds of
millions, crop experts said.
At Caribou and Mullinock-
et, Maine, the temperature to
day dropped to one above
zero. Some snow fell Monday.
