University Plans Largest Telescope U. Os Illinois To Build Huge Scope* CHICAGO (UPD— The world’s most powerful radio telescope, capable of eroding scientific research far bdfond man’s present knowledge of space, will be built by the University of Illinois. The university's board of directors Wednesday announced plans to construct a device which may shift the world's center of radio astronomy from Jodrell Bank, England, to an isolated corner of Illinois. Cost of the instrument was not estimated, but trustees said it will be borne by the federal government. The office of Naval Research already has promised $233,000. The British government built the largest existing radio telescope, at Jodrell Bank, at a cost of about $2,240,000. The Jodrell Bank instrument, used as the most authoritative device for tracking American and Russian satellites, can reach into space about 1,000 times further than the largest visual telescope. University and government officials have selected a ravine about five miles from Danville, 111., as the site of the new instrument. Trustees Wednesday approved buying a 220-acre tract for $15,880. Prof. George C. McVittie, head of the university’s astronomy department, said a giant reflector, consisting of metal plates embedded in the ground and forming a trough will be built in the ravine. In this isolated area, chosen because of lack of nearby electrical' interference, the telescope will be j tuned to pick up cosmic noises, |

McVittie. a world - famed English scientist, said the reflector will be 600 feet long from north to south, 400 feet wide and 65 feet deep. Radio waves will be concentrated on a line of receiving elements over the trough. Neither foggy weather, clouds nor daylight will interfere with the telescope's operation, McVittie said. He said it “will provide data which should take all of us a great step forward in the study of the universe.” Vet Postal Employe Held On Theft Charge TERRE HAUTE, Ind.

Trucker Complains Os Teamster Moves Senate Committee Calls For Answer WASHINGTON (UPD — The Senate Rackets Committee called on the National Labor Relations Board today to answer charges that a moron could have handled a Nebraska labor dispute better than it did. Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr. (D-N.C.) drew this unflattering comparison Wednesday after hearing a trucker complain he was forced out of business by the Teamsters Union while the NLRB was taking three months to count seven vptes in a labor election. , Chairman John L. McClellan • D-Ark.) promptly went to a telephone and instructed NLRB Chairman Boyd Leedom to give the committee an explanation of what McClellan termed the unusual delay in the case. The board said its solicitor, James V. Constantine, would appear before the committee. It told United Press International the delay was caused by court orders obtained by the Teamsters Union. The committee said it would go ahead with the hearing despite the death late Wednesday of McClellan's father in Arkansas. Tom Coffey, former owner of the Coffey Transport Co. of Alma, Neb., said the Teamsters wrecked his business in 1955 by promoting a “hot cargo” boycott in an effort to force him to enroll his employe’s in the union. When he insisted on an NLRB election, Coffey said, the union stalled it off until January, 1956, w'hen seven employes at Coffey’s Lincoln, Neb., terminal voted on whether to join the Teamsters. He said the NLRB did not notify him until the following April the vote was 4 to 0 against the union with three votes challenged.

Airline Mechanics Vole On New Pad Negotiators Reach Agreement On Pact WASHINGTON (UPD — Capita! Airlines prepared today to resume some of its flights Sunday if airline mechanics ratify a proposed contract and'end a 36-day strike.

Deta ! ’- of the settlemerit were withheld pending the vote, but it was reported it provides for a raise of 40 cents an hour spread over three years beginning Oct. 1, 1957. when the previous contract expired. The airline today began recalling some of the 7,544 ,emploees who were furloughed nationwide because of the strike, which halted service to 76 cities. Officials estimated that the prolonged dispute cost Capital 12 million dollars in passenger revenue. Two other airlines, Trans World and Eastern, still were threatened by strikes. Mechanics set a 10 a.m. Friday strity? deadline or TWA. Mechanics on National and Northeast Airlines also were negotiating contracts. Northwest Airlines agreed with its mechanics Tuesday on a contract calling for a wage increase of 41 cents an hour over three years. The Capital settlement was patterned after it. Top scale mechanics at Capital now earn $2.54 an hour. If yiu have something to sell or rooms tor rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — They bring results.
