I Page 2-Tuesday, November 11, 1980-The Michigan Daily VOYAGER I FINDS SURPRISES AT RINGED PLANET Hydro-ge PASADENA, Calif. (AP)-Voyager I, speeding to its rendezvous with Saturn's mysterious moon Titan, gave scientists yet another surprise yester- day with the discovery of a huge cloud of hydrogen-gas surrounding the ringed planet. The hydrogen cloud forms a ring several hundred thousand miles thick amound the planet, William Sandell of the University of Southern California said at a news conference. He said the hydrogen apparently leaks atom by cloud surrounds Saturn IN BRIEF k Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports atom from Titan's bizarre atmosphere, which seems to be mostly methane, or natural gas. "T4IE PRESENCE of hydrogen in the atmosphere of Saturn has been. known for some time, but we didn't know how this hydrogen was distributed," he said. "The shape ... we actually saw doesn't conform well at all to what was expected." Scientists had anticipated a very narrow ring of gas mostly restricted to the orbit of Titan, rather than the, broader cloud, Sandel said. "This means some mechanism, which we don't know, is operating to spread the hydrogen over a much larger region of space," he said. THE CLOUD, he said, contains only about 25,000 tons of hydrogen, so "it's an extremely tenuous gas cloud" visible only through Voyager's in- struments. Scientists expect to learn more about the hydrogen cloud as Voyager sails to scarcely 2,500 miles of Titan late today on its way to Wednesday's close pass by the planet itself., "Tuesday is going to be a very ex- citing time," said chief scientist Ed- ward Stone. "We'll once and for all know what kind of object Titan is." ALTHOUGH discovered 325 years ago, Titan remains mostly a puzzle. Voyager so far shows little more than a bright orange ball with scant detail. A darkish cap covers the north pole and there seems to be a sharply defined boundary near the equator with a uniformly brighter appearance below. "Titan really has quite a remarkable atmosphere," Stone said. "It's a methane atmosphere-natural gas." "The object almost undoubtedly has a rocky core," Stone said. "But we don't know how large that core is. It could extend right up to the surface." Some experts theorize Titan may be coated with acetylene and ethane, piled more than a mile deep and frozen solid. "It's a very unusual place," Stone said. DOES THE IDEA OF BE iN G pAicD FOR YOUR PLA SMA L EAVE You .1. COLD?' 6mmmw...... w. ^Fin .

University& corner of Forest Jury continues deliberations in Klan murder trial GREENSBORO, N.C. - A jury deliberated a second day yesterday in the loigest trial in North Carolina history, trying to reach a verdict in the case of six Ku Klux Klansmen and Nazis charged with bsilling five com- munists at an anti-Klan rally. The all-white jury of six men and six women asked the judge for per- mission to see the videotape recordings made by reporters during the November 3, 1979 shootout at a Greensboro housing project Judge James Long promised a screening, but he denied a request to allow lists of witnesses and exhibits in the jury room. When defense attor- neys objected, Long ruled the lists would remain in the courtroom where jurors could review them. Explosions kill 12 in Beirut BEIRUT, Lebanon - Two booby-trapped cars exploded during the lunch hour yesterday near a crowded square in predominantly Christian East Beirut. Police said at least 12 people were killed and scores injured. More than 20 people were seriously wounded by the twin blasts and dozens more were treated for shock and minor injuries. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for' the attack, the fifth from bomb-rigged cars in four months. Thirteen people died in the previous bombings. A spokesman for the Lebanese forces, the militia of the Christian Phalange Party, said yesterday's attacks were "blind terrorism" and that "we have no idea who organized these operations." Court indicts Gang of Four PEKING - A special court yesterday indicted the Gang of Four, led by Mao Tse-Tung's widow, and six other defendants on charges ranging from - conspiracy to plotting the assassination of the late chairman of the Com- munist Party. The trial, the most crucial court case in the 31-year history of Com- munist China, could start in seven days. The official Xinhua news agency said the court will judge the defendants for their "grave crimes" which brought "calamity to the country and people." The Gang of Four was arrested four years ago but their trial was held up because of the reported inability to get a confession from Jiang Qing, Mao's widow, who insisted she acted on orders from ,Mao during the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution. The trial, the most crucial court case in the 31-year history of Com- munist China, could start in seven days. The official Xinhua news agency said the court will judge the defendants for their "grave crimes" which brought "calamity to the country and people." Authorities wanted a confession because they did not want the trial to be a judgement of Mao's policies. Bishops discuss statement on Marxism at annual meeting WASHINGTON - The nation's Roman Catholic bishops yesterday opened their annual four-day meeting with a flurry of debate over a proposed pastoral statement on the relationship between Marxism and Christianity. The proposal, while making a sharp distinction between the Marxist and Christian world views, was criticized.as not going far enough in condemning violations of human rights in communist-dominated countries. During the meeting, the bishops will also debate a proposed statement opposing the death penalty and proposed changes in certain liturgical texts to eliminate sexist language, and elect a new president to succeed Arch- bishop John Quinn of San Francisco. Trial of two 'once-powerful' House chairmen begins NEW YORK - The biggest Abscam trial to date began yesterday with jury selection in the bribery and conspiracy case against Reps. John Murphy of New York and Frank Thompson of New Jersey. Murphy and Thompson, both defeated for re-election last week, were the first two House of Representatives committee chairmen indicted as the result of the FBI undercover investigation into political corruption and the first two congressmen to stand trial together. The once-powerful Democrats are charged with sharing $110,000 in bribe money from FBI undercover agents posing as representatives of an Arab sheik. They allegedly agreed, in return, to introduce private immigration blson behalf of the sheik. Fires rage in Ky., W. Va. Scores of wild fires that have scorched more than 35,000 acres of woodlands roared out of control yesterday in the mountains of eastern Ken- tucky and West Virginia, and officials laid much of the blame on "pure meanness" and hunters flushing out game. "Most of these, about 75 per cent, have been set by people mad at lan- downers or people who just like to see fire burn," said Ralph Glover of the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources. "We know a few that could be attributed to squirrel hunters." The National Weather Service said the next chance of rain in Kentucky would come Friday. 14 I I 11 WORLD OF SPORTING GOODS oGRACcom, Sale now through Sunday, November 16.
