ball of wire grating material.
It is this ball which serves as
i the mooring nation for other
space ships which bring tools and
j machine parts wi'h them and
from these in turn we build, in
side the ball, the actual mechan
isms which will make the flights
among the heav enly bodies.
The process will be carried out
lip this way because our kinds of

Instead, we will build "electric

These electric space ships, built
inside the ball, will be run on

of solar energy or atomic pile

If such a station orhited the
earth at a height nf 36 Ooft kilo

tan one full day for it to orbit.
If the orbit were from west to
east, it would be. in effect, al
ways standing still over the same
spot on earth tttCitm the earth
itself turns on its axis.
The station would have a vtew of
3-7 of the earth's surface. Three
of them, therefore, properly
spaced, would have among them
a full, permanent view of this
planet on which we lip.
Such a station could, among nth

radio and TV reporters from be
ing compelled by federal courts to
disclose their sources except in
cases affecting the national secur
ity. Another point which arose in
connection with the Torre case If
whether the identity of news
sources involves press freedom as
established by the First Amend
ment to the U.S. Constitution. The
newspaper trade publication "Ed
itor and Publisher'' took note of
this in an editorial Feb. 14
It said in part "It is contended
by some that freedom of the press
is involved in this issue. Perhaps
it is. People, including newspaper
men, can still write what they
please within certain legally de
fined limitations There is no" priori
restraint on publication. But R
seems to us there is a conflict!
