Glittering Labrador Base Has Changed Since 1942 GOOSE BAY, Labrador (API This glittering air base with its aluminum-trimmed living quar ters, ice rinks and swimming nools Is a far cry from the make. shift field that greeted wartime bomber ferrying crews In 1942. Now, as then, the U.S. and Royal Canadian air forces are based on opposite sides of the air field. The RCAF maintains the net work of 9.000 and ll.oon-foot run. ways and mans most of the base radar facilities. The USAF unit is under Strate gic Air Command and its commit- mcnts through scores of KC97 tanker planes are to keep SAC's airborne B47s and H25s fueled. THE STORY NO ONE OARED FILM. ..UNTIL NOW!

Also quartered in Goose Bay are schoolteachers, Army Service Corps personnel, a seven-man Ca nadian mounted police detach ment. a Newfoundland provincial magistrate, and employes of the Hudson's Bay Co., an oil company and the Canadian Broadcasting to. Two morale boosters, are the local radio and TV stations. The radio station is operated by the RCAF and broadcasts daily from 7 a.m. to midnight. The TV station broadcasts from the American quarters with American personnel, but it presents a cross section of Canadian programming, all of it turned and flown in. Airmen are allowed to shin in meir own cars and there are nun dreds on each side of the base. A C o k,H4 A I A iSV A fdl ' ' t . I E oiS 13 1 i imn. ifnv &i kI ii ?

It is believed their bodies are trapped in their car somewhere in the Columbia River in this area. The family vanished on a motor trip last Dec. 7. There was no trace, despite intensive searching, of the Martins until Sunday when the body of Susan Martin, 10, was found. Monday the river yielded the Body of her sister, Virginia, 12. Autopsies indicated they had drowned and that the bodies had been in the water for many weeks. Tuesday skin divers and other searchers looked in areas where roads run parallel to the river above Bonneville Dam. But they failed to find the automobile or the bodies of Martin, his wife and their other daughter, Barbara, 14. Sheriff R. L. Gillmouthe plans to direct volunteers in a renewed search of the Columbia and its tributaries over the weekend. GATES OPEN :45 P.M. ENDS TONIGHT !

Earth's Hydrogen Halo Reported By Scientist By FRANK CAREY Associated Press Science Writer WASHINGTON (AP)-The earth is surrounded by a harmless halo of hydrogen at altitudes between 30 and 20,000 miles, a California scientist reported today. Another researcher said a known weak spot in the earth's magnetic field may account for the gap between two dangerous doughnuts of radiation discovered in space. ; ' These separate phenomena were described to the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in reports prepared by scientists of the Lockheed Missiles and Space Division, Sunnyvale, California. Dr. Francis A. Johnson told of the hydrogen halo, which he de scribed as a glowing veil. He said it is a cloud of hydrogen gas made up of electrically neu tral atoms of the chemical. Its existence became ' known from radiation detectors aboard satel lites and missiles. At first it was believed to be something coming from far out in interplanetary space, Johnson said, but new research shows that it is actually a part of the earth's outer atmosphere. Though it has a certain glow, he related, it oan not be detected from the earth's surface because the radiation is absorbed in the earth's atmosphere at an altitude of about 50 miles. Dr. Alexander J. Dessler of Lockheed offered the new theory to explain the gap between the two belts of Van Allen radiation which encircle the earth. They are considered potentially hazardous to space travel. These two belts named for Dr. James Van Allen of the State Uni versity of Iowa hang suspended like monster doughnuts around the earth, but with openings above both the north and south polar regions. The first belt begins at about 1,300 miles altitude and extends to about 3.000. Then there's a 5,000-mile gap be fore the second belt begins at about 8,000 miles. Dessler believes the 5,000-mile radiation-free gap between the two doughnuts is due to the Cape town anomaly, mat is a weak spot, approximately 1.000 miles long and 300 miles wide, in the earth's magnetic field near the southern tip of Africa. The existing bands of Van Allen radiation consist of charecd narti- clcs either electrons or protons mai are trapped by lines of mag netic force extending in great bows upward from the earth's surface. The particles of radiation spiral back and forth from north to south along these lines of force, and at the same time drift east ward around the earth. According to Dessler's conceot. the bowing line of force that starts at Capetown is so weak that it can't keep the particles tranoed. Thus, some particles, in falline into this weak soot, are absorbed by the earth's atmosphere there by causing the radiation-free zone. MDs Admit 'Mercy Killing' Spurring Fresh Debates L&NDON. (UPD-Two doctors' admissions that "they have used drugs to hasten the deaths of in curable patients are spurring fresh debate on the merits of "mercy killing." Dr. Maurice Millard, son of the founder of the Euthanasia (mercy Killing i society, and Dr. Char es McDonald, its current president, both admitted using drugs to put dying patients to sleep, '.knowing mat oeatn mignt ensue. Both men said they are sure most other doctors have done the same. Police have taken no action against the two men because no formal complaint has been filed and it is uncertain that one will be. No one complained to the po lice when another doctor con fessed a mercy killing in a tele vision broadcast some time ago. Millard touched off the debate with a Rotary Club speech Mon day. The patient he "helped" to death was an 80-year-old woman suffering from cancer. I gave the old lady a dose of a drug and was prepared to give her another if she showed signs of waking up again," he said. sue couidn t have lived for more than two or three days. McDonald said Tuesday he fol lowed the same course" in a sim ilar case 20 years ago. Churchmen and doctors prompt ly took sides, newspapers were bombarded with letters to the editor, and editorialists lined up on one side or the other. Msgr. Michael Gilleran, senior Roman Catholic priest in Leices ter, where Millard practices, said no Catholic doctor would "admin ister a drug for the express pur pose of killing." Leslie Wetherhead, ex-president of the Methodist Society, argued on the other hand that if eutha nasia had been legalized "the old lady could have gone away in peace and dignity instead of suf fering months of useless agony." London newspapers lined up generally against mercy killing. "It would be arrogant for any one, however strong the provoca tion, to cut short an innocent hu man life in the supposed interest of humanity," said the Daily Express.
