OREGON PAGE 5 A American Satellite's Radio Fading; May Be Damaged By Meteor Hit WASHINGTON U) Explorer III, America's third earth satel lite, is going silent and may come to a fiery end about the middle of July. Scientists tracking the Army built satellite reported Friday that one of its two radios has stopped transmitting and the other has become erratic. Announcing this, the U.S. na tional committee for the Inter national Geophysical Year report ed also that latest estimates indi cate the satellite will re-enter the earth's atmosphere and disinte grate around mid-July. The committee said there is come evidence the partial loss of radio contacts with Explorer III may be due to a collision with a meteor cloud that might have damaged the transmitters. The satellite, an 80-inch long metal tune, was shot into space March 26 after the successful launching of the Army's Explor- Restoration Of Aid Funds To Be Tried WASHINGTON l Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R-N.I) said Sat urday a bipartisan effort will be made in the Senate to restore 339 million dollars cut by the House from President Eisenhower's for eign aid bill. Smith told reporters the move will be made when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee meets Tuesday to start drafting a but to authorize spending for eco nomic and military assistance to friendly nations in the fiscal year starting July 1. In a separate interview. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn), another member of the committee, called Eisenhower's aid request for $3,942,092,500 1 reasonable and fair in light of the critical world situation. "I would be inclined to support restoration of cuts to bring the over-all authorizations reasonably close to what the President is asking," Humphrey said. Sen. George D. Aiken (R-Vt) said he, too, would join in an ef fort to raise the House allowances. The House voted a total, of $2,958,900,000 in new authoriza tions, coupled with 644 millions in authorizations carried over from previous law. Opponents will concentrate most of their efforts on cutting the ap propriations bill that will provide the actual money for the aid pro gram. Smith said he thought the Sen ate would reject proposals to shut off all aid to Communist Yugo slavia and Poland. Such proposals have been made by Senate Republican Leader Wil liam F. Knowland of California and Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH). "In view of the widening differ ences between Belgrade and Mos cow," Smith said, "support (or continuing aid to these countries, Jn the discretion of the President, should be stronger than it has been when such amendments were re jected before." er I and the Navy's Vanguard. bxplorer II tailed to go into orbit. Both Explorer I and the Vanguard are expected to stay in orbit for some ume. Russia, whose Sputniks I and II came down some time ago. launched its third satellite, a 14 ton vehicle, last week. The IGY committee said Ex plorer Hi's high power transmit ter, a 60 milliwatt device which recorded information about cos mic rays, began sputtering May 9 and went of the air Wednesday night. The smaller transmitter, a 10 milliwatt tracking beacon which has shot back continuous signals to ground watchers, is being re ceived erratically, the committee said. At Iowa City, Iowa, Dr. James van Allen. University of Iowa physicist, said he believes the in tense radiation encountered by Explorer III is related closely to whatever produces the Aurora Uorealis and magnetic storms in the ionosphere. He suggested the radiation may be caused by ionized gas particles shot out by the sun. Moscow radio, meanwhile, said Sputnik III completed its 23rd cir cuit of the globe at 10 p.m., Friday. At Louisville, Ky., Editor Rob ert Hotz of Aviation Week maga zine said Sputnik III probably carries an infra-red device capa ble of taking pictures of the earth. He called it the first step to ward a reconnaissance vehicle and said the new Soviet satellite shows the Russians are at least three years ahead of the United States in the satellite field.

No one professes to know who killed Matni, but his murder was a handy excuse for many ele ments here to take off on a binge of violence. : The government may ride out this particular storm. But there are more storms to come, because Lebanon is an- obstacle to the goals of extreme Arab nationalism. The situation which exists here today has been building up for more than two years, during which the nation has been under severe Syrian- Egyptian-Commu nist pressures. Anti-Western elements appar ently intend to go to extreme lengths, not only to prevent Ca mille Chamoun from succeeding himself as president, but to pre vent the- installation of any pro Western successor. The government's policy appar ently is to contain the riots, arson and bombings, and to avoid bloodshed. WtkF Omit Puffy Automatic Cfawier ELECTROLUX TARKEL TWEET fh. 4-7167 J550 White Si.

Beginners arc subjected to trial by market, poor things. On literature "Homer's 'Odyssey' is the best novel of all time. Twain's 'Jump ing Frog' is the best lyrical thing I know. On religion: "God seems to me to be some thing which wants us to win. In tennis. Or .poetry. Or marriage. Of course, somebody must lose. That's when you step up to the spiritual plane. I'm like a modern car in religious matters. I may look convertible. But I'm a hard top. I'm working on a couplet now: 'Forgive, o Lord, my little jokes on thee And I'll forgive thy great big one on me. Being born, does he mean? Frost only shrugs.
