Soviet Scientists Report On Findings Give First Reports On Earth Satellite LONDON (UP) — Soviet scientists reported the first lessons to- 1 day they said they had learned 1 from Russia's artificial earth sa- i tellite. They said it had disclosed 1 changes In the “absolute intensity < of the energy of the electro-mag- ] netic pole.” Moscow Radio broadcast the scientists' partial report The broadcast was heard in London. (The report apparently referred < to measurements of so-called elec- 1 trical “ring” currents and of the earth's main magnetic field. L_l — (Streams of charged particles ‘ during solar flares and other dis- 1 turbances on the sun may set up t electrical currents around the earth. ( • Such currents, if they exist, r would affect the earth’s main magnetic field. In any case, it is believed the field fluctuates in in- t tensity from time to time. t (Transmission of radio signals 1 through such currents and fields and the earth’s ionosphere can 1 give information on such matters, t Such signals, particularly the long- 1 Wave pulses used in the Soviet i satellite, are refracted on their < Way to earth. i The measurements thus m e , possible permit calculation of some of the electrical charge char- s aeteristics of space some hun- ] dreds of miles above the surface.! ■ Soviet research workers in the ] polar regions are maintaining reg- ; ular observation of the flight of the man-made moon, the broadcast said. It said sound signals from it had been picked up clearly by the Russian observatory at Mirny, in Antarctica.. The signals also are being picked up by experts in the three other Soviet scientific stations in the Antarctic, it added. Bike Appeal ITHACA, N. Y. — W — Police said three thieves stole Donald L.

Three-Year-Old Girl Is Drowned In Well CHANDLER, Ind. W — Three-yera-old Diana Marie Retter drowned Sunday when she fell into a 10-foot well in the yard of the home of her grandparents, the Kenneth Brownings. Authorities said the well was covered by a tarpaulin. The child apparently moved the covering and slipped into three feet of water at the bottom of the well. She was dead on arrival at St. Mary’s Hospital in nearby Evansville. TEVERBAUGH (Continued from Page One) other of the four defendants would testify.— : — — — ■ Former Highway Chairman Virgil (Red) Smith said he. was “confident” of acquittal, but refused to say whether he would tell the jury his istory. "it’ll be impossible to prove us guiltyt,” said Smith. “When you’re not guilty, they can’t prove it.” Circumstantial Evidence On trial with Smith and Teverbaugh were Teverbaugh’s former assistant, Harry Doggett, and Milan attorney Robert Peak. Prosecutor John Tinder based his case on deals that began with two back lot sales to “Dean Burton” for $2,500. ‘ Burton” then sold to Peak for $3,000, and Peak resold to the State Highway Department for $25,800, the state charged. The conspiracy indictments were among 31 charges returned by a Marion County grand jury against six persons since the highway scandal stories with political repercussions began breaking last April 11. The prosecution’s questioning of prospective jurors indicated it planned to base all or part of its case on circumstantial evidence. Veniremen were questioned one by one about whether they would object to conviction solely on such evidence. In its questioning, the defense emphasized Tinder must prove an actual “agreement” to prove conspiracy. Observers speculated Teverbaugh may testify he made no such agreement, but became involved in the deal on orders from his superiors. Two Challenges Used All prospective jurors said it would make no difference that Peak returned the $22,500 profit allegedly made on the Madison Ave. deal. Both sides can eliminate 10 veniremen on a peremptory challenge—without giving a reason. As the trial's second day opened this morning the state had used two such challenges, the defense none. The scandals, which prompted a congressional investigation last summer, were regarded a major campaign issue by Democratic candidates in the 1958 elections. Defense attorneys sought to in the jury box. At one point attorney William Irwin asked a prospective jurors: “The fact that these defendants are associated with one political party (Republican) would not prejudice you?” The answer was candidates in the 1958 elections. Defense attorneys sought to eliminate any political prejudice in the jtfry box. At one point attorney William Iswn asked a prospectve jurors: “The fact that these defendants are associated with one political party (Republican) would not prejudice you?” The answer was “na.” Seven-Year-Old Boy Is Killed By Auto NEW CASTLE (ffl — Seven-year-old William Winter died today in Henry County Hospital from injuries sustained when he was hit by an automobile while on an errand for his mother at Sulphur Springs.

The meeting came amid congressional demands for a complete reappraisal of U.S. defense policies and demands by some congressmen and scientists for a “crash” program to catch up with Russia in the outer space race. But White House Press Secretary James Hagerty said that “as far as I know” his statement of last Saturday still stands that the United States will not be thrown into hasty speeded-up action by the Russian's success with its “Sputnik.”

Soviet Russia Is Winner Os Race To Moon American Scientist < Says Race To Moon Is Practically Won ’ BARCELONA, Spain (UP). —An American scientist who predicted the launching of the Soviet satellite to within a few days said today the Russians have practically won the race to the moon. Heinz Koelle, chief of the preliminary design section of the Army ballistics missile agency at Huntsville, Ala., said the Russians can, and almost certainly will, reach the moon in the next few The Russians, Koelle said, need only to modify the engines used to launch the satellite and reduce its pay load to reach the “escape velocity” that will take them the moon. And by stepping up the power of their engines still further, A feat well within Russian capabilities, they will be able to achieve the sending of manned vehicles into space in the next two or three years if they wish to, he said. Koelle said these estimates are startling but very possible. Koelle said his predictions on the Soviet satellite—made as kmg ago as March—gave him no feeling of eUdton. “It its a tremendous victory for them,” he said. “n>ose people who try to minimize it forget that the weapons cf the cold war are not the same is the weapons of the hot wit. “And this was a cold war weapon. Why Professor Sedov himself told me the Russians considered the satellite a political feat.” ‘ Prof. Leonidas Sedov, head of the Soviet delegation to the International Astronautical Congress, entered the hotel lobby while Koelle was speaking to a United Press reporter? ’•He looked—as he has since the successful launching of the satellite was announced—very pleased. In another corner of the hotel were members of the American delegation which i ncludes both military and civilian experts. There was thinly disguised bitterness among them at the Soviet success and the bogging down of the U.S. “Vanguard - project For various reasons, did not want to be quoted bi name on what they called “jealousies” that have held up tbfj American satellite. Earlier, Andrew G. Haley, of Washington, D.C., an authority on space law, said such manifestations of scientific progress as satellite flights showed the peace of the world is threatened by lack of such laws.

Delay In Trial Os Mogilner Is Likely Attorney Plans To Seek Judge Change INDIANAPOLIS 0? — A delay in the trial of “Gio” salesman Arthur J. Gogilner in the Indiana highway scandals shaped up today.

Mogilner was indicted op charges that he gave former highway chairman Virgil (Red) Smith more than $40,000 after receiving contracts for more than a milliion dollars worth of state business.
