Rockets, Instruments Probe Space Ilysteries By MICHAEL SATTINGER "The University has been among the leaders in space research and will continue to be' so in the future," Andrew F. Nagy, assistant research engineer in the Space Physics Research Labora- tory of the electrical engineering department, said. To date, no department of the University has yet had an instrument package placed in orbit. But although most de- partments which have laboratories working in space research are involved mainly with non-orbiting rockets, all have instru- ment packages planned for satellites in the future. One such laboratory is the Space Physics Research Lab, which has a package measuring charged particle density and temperature. The Goddard Space Flight Center has incorporated the lab's instrument package into its S-6 satellite, which will be boosted into orbit in early 1963 by a Thor-Delta rocket. S-66, TIROS This package has also been accepted for use in both the S-66 ionosphere satellite and TIROS (Television Infra-Red Observa- tional Satellite). The next TIROS will probably be launched early in 1963. WORKHORSE-The Journeyman, a NASA supply rocket, carries the Radio-Astronomy Observatory's instruments to 1000 miles. "But the advent of satellites has not made vertical sounding rockets obselete at 'all," he continued. Sounding rockets lift pay- loads to varying heights and then fall back to earth. The payloads are usually not retrieved. Non-orbiting rockets have the advantage that they cover the part of the atmosphere which is too low for satellites and too high for balloons. Also, a sounding rocket can take a vertical profile of the atmosphere, whereas a satellite cannot for all practical purposes, Nagy said. Cost is another factor which works to the advantage of sound- ing rockets. Since a satellite is expensive, many}experiments are crowded in the same satellite. But a non-orbiting rocket is rela- tively cheap, and one vehicle can be allocated per experiment, he added. Starting with a firing in November, the space physics lab began a series of NASA sponsored experiments with an ejectabie package boosted by a sounding rocket. The thermospheric probe, after receiving its initial thrust, separates from the vehicle. It telemeters information on both neutral and charged particles as it rises to a height of about 200 miles and falls back to earth. Working in about the same field as the Space Research Lab, See 'U,' Page 8 At present, the space physics lab has a contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to measure the moon's atmosphere. The instruments used will be soft-landed by a Surveyor spacecraft powered by an Atlas-Centaur. However, difficulties encountered in the development of the Centaur may lead NASA to substitute some other booster for the second stage, Nagy said. The Space Physics Research Lab began making direct measure- ments of the upper atmosphere with captured German V-2 rockets. A number of different experiments were developed to measure the neutral* and charged particle density and temperature. "These early experiments were only partially successful. Their :Hain value was in proving the validity of the techniques," Nagy explained. Successful Experiments In the late 1950's, when smaller research rockets became available, the lab developed and successfully flew a large number of new experiments employing the techniques tested earlier. "The results of these experiments have provided a lot of new information on the physics and structure of the upper atmosphere," Nagy claimed.

The venture, discussed at the Academy's annual meeting in Dal- las, will involve geophysicists of 20 nations over a 10-year period and Grace Notes Threat Of Marxist Idealism By ROBERT SELWA Marxist ideology, aside from the power of Russia, is itself a threat because it has more appeal for young intellectuals today than the national socialism of Germany and Italy had for the young intellectuals of the 1930s. Prof. Frank Grace of the political science department made this point yesterday at the Conference on Teaching About Commun- ism, and cited the theme of Man's Fall and Redemption as the reason. This theme, Prof. Grace noted, is at the base of Marxist ideology. The Marxist theme of the enslavement of the worker by the capitalist system after he had been master India Snubs China Bid For Border Settlement, Seeks Pakistani Peace Urge Erhard In Key Post BONN (A')-West German Chan- cellor -Konrad Adenauer was told yesterday by leaders of his Chris- tian Democratic Party that he should retire next year and make way for Economics Minister Lud- wig Erhard, authoritative sources said., But he was reported to have shown no willingness to accept the advance. Adenauer met for 6/2 hours with party leaders to prepare for nego- tiations next week over a- new coalition government.Attention LUDWIG ERHARD ... next chancellor was given to the question of a successor for the 86-year-old chancellor. He reportedly has been blamed in part for the way the charge of suspicion of treason against editors of the Der Spiegel magazine de- veloped into a national contro- versy, bringing, about the collapse of the old coalition government and the withdrawal from cabinet of Defense Minister Franz Joseph Strauss. Party leaders in the consulta- tions yesterday included Strauss; Adenauer's old friend and close advisor, Heinrich Krone; Chris- tian Democratic Executive Secre- tary Hermann Dufhues; and the Party's Bundestag Leader Heinrich von Brentano.- Adenauer countered, by calling a general meeting for Monday of the party's national and state ex- ecutive groups in an effort to find backing for his position. He has dodged being pinned down on his retirement. Until now, he has promised only that it would come before the 1965 general election. The informants said the nation- al party leaders proposed that the announcement by Adenauer of his retirement date be combined with a declaration to Bundestag mem- bers that Erhard was the choice for the next chancellor. Seven Arrested ",will cost $31 million. The project will explore the outermost 600 miles of the Earth's solid-rock in- terior. Some Research -TheUniversity has already con- ducted a considerable amount of research in this field and surely will become involved in this pro- w ject once specific plans are form- ulated, Prof. Wilson said. He explained that the academy only heard a preliminary report and that no organization to ad- minister the project had yet been formed. "The Vela-Uniform Program of the Acoustical and Seismic Labor- atory at Willow Run, dealing with t detecting underground nuclear tests, has yielded much scientific information on' the outer part of tthe Earth," Prof. Wilson noted. .Gravity Studies Research on gravity is another area in which the University may participate in the project, he said. This study is now being under- taken by Prof. John M. de Moyer of the geology department. The proposal was drafted by the Geophysics Research Board of the academy and has been submitted to the federal government and the Comite International de G6o- physique. "A knowledge of the structure, composition and physical state of: the mantle is extremely important to an understanding of the genesis and history of the whole Earth," the report said. Earth Volume The mantle, extending nearly 2000 miles below the thin outer crust of the Earth, accounts for; more than 80 per cent of the Earth's total volume. The region mapped for study-; the upper 600 miles of the mantle -is where earthquakes are found. "In recent years," the report said, "it has become apparent that an extensive and coordinated program of exploration into this region, which is still mostly un- charted, would more effectiv.-ely yield useful information concern- ing that portion of the universe directly beneath our feet than the continuation of a program of ran- t dom investigations." The recommended United States program calls for expanded and accelerated efforts by university scientists, private non-profit re- search organizations, and govern- ment laboratories, particularly the United States Geological Survey and United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. 1, PROF. JAMES T. WILSON . ..-earth studies FORESTRY: MSU Aide Cites Need Warning that the MichiganI State University forestry depart- ment has the poorest facilities for any such accredited institution in the United States, Prof. Terrill D. Stevens, department chairman, pleaded for a new building before his unit drops "to a position of mediocrity." Prof. Stevens urged the Legis- lature to accept a request for a new building to house MSU's forestry, fisheries and wildlife forest products, and resource de- velopment departments. Currently, the four departments are housed in nine buildings. Plac- ing the departments in one build- ing will increase teaching and re- search efficiency as the four have similar interests, he said. "All four departments are re- sponsible for research and exten- sion activities as well as the teach- ing of professional course work and new equipment and space are needed in all of , them," he asserted. Prof. Stevens explained that his department never had any addi- tional space given to it in recent years and that through normal growth his department is "burst- ing at the seams." Although graduate programs had to be curtailed for lack of space, enrollment has not been limited as of yet, he said. But with the increased number of po- tential college students, the de- partment will soon be forced not to take in any more students, Prof. Stevens warned. The deiartment currently con- tains 700 students. of his own means of production represents man's fall, he said. Ability, Needs He noted that Marxist ideology pictures man's Redemption in the promise of a classless society bas- ed on the maxim, "From each ac- cording to his ability, to each ac- cording to his needs.' "The appeal of Marxist ideol- ogy," Prof. Grace continued, "is not economic, nor political, but spiritual-it holds out to men the hope of overcoming their human, problems." Persons of good will and human- itarian spirit find it difficult to repudiate Marxist ideology be- cause of this theme, the political scientist said. "There was a will- ingness to attack fascism in the '30s, but there is a hesitancy to attack Marxist ideology today," he went on. Close Kinship "We subscribe to many ideals- like progressive advance and a world free from fear and free from want - that are close to Marxist ideals." Much of his talk to the social studies teachers taking part in the conference was devoted to an analysis of Marxist ideology. Karl Marx drew from Western philos- ophy, especially the Hegelian dia- lectic, classical Western economics, and Western politics, notably the French Revolution, in formulating his ideology, according to Prof. Grace. Berle To Give Cook Lectures Prof. Adolph Berle of Columbia University will deliver the 12th series of William Cook Lectures on American Institutions, Feb. 11-14. Prof. Berle, who. has authored several books on the modern po- litical and economic society, will lecture on "The American Eco- nomic Republic." Educated at Harvard, he has been Assistant Secretary of State, ambassador to Brazil, and United Statessdelegate to the Inter-Amer- ican Conference for the Mainten- ance of Peace, 1936. U.S. Official Tells Needs Of Defense Harriman Stresses Kashmir Question PROF. FRANK GRACE ... Communist hopes Communism Study Noted Five state senators or membters of the state department of public instruction explored the pros and cons of required high school courses in Communism at a social studies conference here yesterday. Discussion genierally was con- ducted in very general terms, em- phasizing that educational con- trols should be kept in local hands as much as possible. This is why, Senators Thomas F. Schweigert (R-Petoskey) and George Montgomery (D-Detroit) explained, the state Legislature has exhibited some reluctance to dictate to high schools curricula patterns for comparative govern- ment courses beyond the civics requirement. Schweigert noted two other handicaps which caused the Sen- ate's education committee last year to kill a proposal to require such a course at the secondary level, after the measure had re- soundingly passed through the House: there are simply no ade- quate textbooks which render an adequate treatment of a com- plicated subject such as Commun- ism, and also there aren't very many teachers who are well versed in this field.

He accused the Chinese of using their cease-fire as a cover, up for adding huge shunks of borderlands to China. Nehru's rejection, in a letter to Red Chinese Premier Chou En- lai, came after Peking announced its troops were beginning to with- draw, as promised, from advanced positions on two ends of India' northern frontier. Indian officials could not confirm the withdrawals. Chou had warned Nehru earlier that if his troops did not with- draw also there could be a re- sumption of the fighting that had dealt Indian army forces shatter- ing defeats in an offensive launch- ed Oct. 20. Line Definition Nehru told Chou he could' not accept the Chinese definition of a line behind which the Chinese propose both sides withdraw 12% miles, leaving a 25-mile-wide de- militarized strip. This, Nehru said, would leave the Chinese in possession of the fruits of aggres- sion. Nehru said Peking's three-point proposal of Oct. 24 and the proc- lamation Nov. 21 for a cease-fire and withdrawals were "clearly aimed at securing physical control of areas which were never under Chinese administrative control either on Nov. 7, 1959, or at any time prior to Sept. 8, 1962." India has proposed troop with- drawals to lines both Chinese and Indian troops held on Sept. 8 as a basis for startingdnegotiations on the long-disputed and unde- fined border areas. 'Necessary Atmosphere' Nehru once more asked Chou to accept the Sept. 8 line "so that the necessary atmosphere for peaceful processes may be created." Nehru's letter, handed to the Chinese charge d'affaires here, also asked Chou for further clari- fication of the Chinese proposals. Previous Indian requests for clari- fication have brought only added confusion, Indian spokesman have said. The Chinese proposed withdraw- ing to what they consider the line of actual control on Nov. 7, 1959. India does not accept this line. These claims in the Chinese cease-fire and withdrawal pro- posal violate the principle Chou himself set forth in earlier mes- sages this year, Nehru said.
