Mariner’s Space Shot Slated Friday

- By DOUGLAS DILTZ United Press International PASADENA, Calif. -<UPI) — Within a few days, man may begin solving a big question which has haunted his imagination since he first gazed with wonder into the heavens: Does life exist out in the universe? A due to this may be learned Friday (Dec, 14, when the United States expects to score a major space age triumph by giving q?an his first close look at a planet — Venus. Although the Mariner 2 spacecraft will not determine whether life actually exists on the mysterious and cloud-masked planet, it can determine whether life as we know it is possible there. This can be revealed in data cn Venusian temperatures the spacecraft sends back to Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) here from across more than 36 million miles of space. “We can tell whether or not temperatures on Venus are mild enough to support life as we know it, or too hot,” a JPL spokesman said. Sophisticated Probe Mariner 2, laden with scientific experiments and the most sophisticated space probe yet launched, is scheduled to make a fly-by exploration of the planet known as earth's twin, peering with an “electronic eye” beneath its perpetual shroud of strange clouds. If all goes as planned, and agency officials expect no trouble, the probe should gather historic data during a key halfhour period while sweeping within about 21,000 miles of the interplanetary target after a 109-day, 180.2 million mile flight. The fly-by exploration also could herald a tremendous feat of interplanetary guidance and accuracy for this country. i

“A rifleman firing a bullet at a wrist watch a mile away would have to hit its second hand to achieve the accuracy of the Venus space probe new racing towards it planetarj* rendezvous,” a JPL scientist said. The accurate guidance was performed when trajectory scientists, during the earlier part of Mariner's mission, corrected its course by flashing direction changes tc its “robot brain” to make its pass close to Venus. Two Space Firsts Mariner 2 has set two other space firsts, both in radio communication. It broke a distance record for transmitting scientific data when it got 17.7 million miles from earth. The previous record was set by the Pioneer 5 moon probe. Mariner then broke Pioneer s's distance record for transmitting a position signal from 22.5 million miles. By the time it passes by Venus, Mariner 2 will have plunged onethird of the distance from the earth to the sun. The Russians now have a [ spacecraft headed for Miars, the closest planet to earth, but' it is not due to make a fly-by photographic pass of that heavenly body until June. The 447-pound Mariner, resembling a miniature oil derrick with flaps, is the most intricate and gifted spacecraft yet launched. What about Venus itself? It is the earth’s brightest neighbor because its dense clouds reflect twice as much sunlight as does the earth. Os the heavenly bodies, only the sun and moon exceed the sparkling planet in brillance. Surface Never Seen Yet telescopes on earth, giant instruments which have detected exploding stars trillions of miles away, have never seen her surface because of the pervading mantle of clouds. The clouds have prevented scientists from even making a good guess at the length of the Venusian “dray” — the time the planet takes to make one revolution on its axis. Scientists have never found a break in the clouds under which Venus hides her mysteries. Is Venus a huge ocean, or is she a barren desert forever tom by raging winds and fierce heat? Is the surface marshy, or does it perhaps hold continents and bodies of water much like earth? Most speculation js that Venus

Farm Bureau Opens Annual Convention ATLANTA, Ge. (UPI) — The president of the nation’s biggest farm organization said today that federal taxes should be cut only if government spending is slashed Any other course would be “the rankest kind of fiscal irresponsibility,” said Charles B. Shuman, head of the American Farm Bureau Federation, in an address to the opening general session of the 44th annual convention. He criticized Kennedy administration planners in a range of fields including taxes and farm policy, foreign trade policy, and medical care for the aged. Shuman’s tafc statement appeared to put him in general agreement on the issue of proposed 1963 income tax cuts with leaders of the National Grange, another fnajor farm organization, i The Grange voted at its recent convention that “there should be no tax cut while the budget is out of balance.” Shuman, whose organization is a leading critic of the Kennedy administration’s “supply management” policies for controlling farm production and propping farm income, today also called on farmers to make 1963 the year to: —“Change the direction of government farm policy— (because) the vast majority of farm families are united as never before in determination to reduce the role of government in the managment of businesses.” —“Halt the trend toward an all-pdwerful central government.” —“Overhaul foreign aid programs, putting increased emphasis on technical aid, and cutting spending by at least $1 billion.” —“Follow a tough trading policy with the European Common Market.” is extremely hot, having a surface temperature of up to 615 degrees Fahrenheit — nearly three times hotter than boiling water. This is based on the theory that the cloud layer traps in heat. The surface of the planet is thought to be barren and its atmosphere is believed to be filled with carbon dioxide with little or no free oxygen or water vapor. Mariner Experiments Experiments of Mariner 2 include: —Microwave radiometer: Will “see” through the clouds to the previous unseen surface. It will determine whether there is water in the atmosphere and what the surface temperature is —two of the most important factors in determining the possibility of life there. —High-e ner g y radiation: To measure radiation particles in deep space and around Venusconsidered perhaps the greatest hazard facing future spacemen. —Solar plasma detector: To determine the flow and density of “hot” from the sun — the so-called “solar winds” which fill our planetary system. — Cosmic dust detector: To measure dust particles in space — another major hazard to manned flights to the moon and particularly the planets. After its mission is accomplished, the Mariner 2 will join America’s Pioneer 5 in an endless orbit around the sun.

The Fort Wayne depth was an inch, Lafayette a trace. Traffic hazards were mostly confined to the northern and eastern sections. The situation was bad partly because temperatures have remained generally below freezing since the snow started falling last week and none of the accumulation has had a chance to melt by natural means.

Sees Reduced Management, Labor Strife By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — Business management is learning a great deal about human nature and both employers and employes are profiting from the knowledge, according to a group of behavioral scientists. One scientist even predicted that by 1999, management will have the scientific means of discovering the "real needs” of employes, whether or not the employes are conscious of those needs, and will then proceed to satisfy them. ' These scientific means he described as “accurate, detailed feedback systems” comprised ot psychological testing, supervisory reports and on-the-job studies. The satisfying will be done, added Dr. Alan A. McLean, "without fostering excessive dependency or conformity and without utilizing techniques for manipulation or exploitation. McLean, psychiatric consultant to the International Business Machines Corporation, participated in a symposium on “the impact of psychiatry on American management" at Cornell University. The participating scientists were all professionals concerned with how employes get along with their bosses and vice versa. Their discussions were largely theoretical, but McLean made factual predictions of what is going to come. The behavioral sciences are going to come up with “valid psychological laws,” he said. (Scientifically “laws” of human behavior do not now exist; everything is theoretical.) And the policies of employers toward employes will be based upon those laws. The overall result of knowing the “laws” and of having accurate detailed feedback systems” will be “a marked reduction in labor-management strife,” he said. In the future, he predicted, there will be strong emphasis on “management education in psychological and sociological principles. Such training may well consist of individual education — perhaps bordering on psychotherapy — in order that managers may learn to know themselves and to be aware of their own feelings in their daily practice of the profession of mahagemeht.” Eight Persons Die In Indiana Traffic By United Press International Traffic accidents during the weekend in Indiana killed eight persons—three of them in one crash—to raise the state’s 1962 toll to at least 1,138 compared with 995 this date last year. Police said none of the accidents resulted from generally poor driving conditions caused by the snow and below-freezing temperatures which hit the state. Three persons were killed in a two-car head-on crash Sunday evening on the outskirts of Lagro in Wabash County. Officers said there was no skidding, and U.S. 24 was free of .ice and snow at the time. The dead were Marvin D. Steward, 37, R. R. 8, Huntington, the driver; his wife, Helen, 36, and Victor C. Davison, 41, Huntington. All died instantly when their car veered over the center line and into the path of ra car driven, by Max Leroy Pasko, 23, R.R. 4, Huntington. Pasko was taken to Wabash County Hospital in Wabash in serious condition with multiple fractures. A third car ploughed into the wreckage, but its driver was unhurt. Franklin Smith, 44, Americus, was killed Sunday morning when a train crashed into his car at a Tippecanoe County crossing near Buck Creek. James Fox, 23, and Dennis Kale, 22, both of East Chicago, were killed in that city Saturday when their car crashed into a bridge girder. Melvin McClurgs 22, Carthage, was killed Saturday when his car hit a culvert three miles east of Rushville. Elaine E. Lantz, 48, Berne, died an hour after a car she war in collided with a truck Saturday in' Decatur. —-— r ' ‘ Two Charged With Failure To Provide Two Decatur residents are to enter pleas- in the Adams circuitcourt this afternoon and Wednesday morning, both on charges of failure to provide. Edward Norris, a former resident of 1121 Elm St., will enter his plea to a charge of failure to provide at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, while Richard Kiser, 104 N. Fifth St., was to enter a plea to the same charge at 2 p.m. today. Both men were arrested on affidavits signed, by their wives. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

Adlai Stevenson Controversy Flares

WASHINGTON (UPD — Thei Adlai Stevenson controversy I flared anew today when a national magazine said the White House “opened doors” for reporters whose article attacked the j U.N. ambassador. Life magazine said that President Kennedy had requested Charles Bartlett, ®n old friend and one of the authors of the critical article, to help prepare a semi-official chronology of events in the Cuban crisis. It said that Bartlett “joined talents” with Stewart Alsop and “thereafter, on White House orders, the doors of the State Department *and of the Central intelligence Agency were thrown open to the two reporters.” Contradicts Post Article The Life article, written by Time - Life Washington bureau chief John L. Steele, sharply contradicted ,the recent Alsop-Bartlett article in the Saturday Evening Post saying that Stevenson favored a soft policy on Cuba. Life said that, contrary to the Alsop-Bartlett report, Stevenson never supported any proposal to swap U.S. missile bases overseas for Cuban missile bases and that the U.N. ambassdor strongly backed the arms blockade of Cuba. Steele wrote that Stevenson had insisted that a “very strong U.S. position be taken at once’’ in the Cuban situation. The Alsop-Bartlett article ' said Stevenson allegedly dissented on the arms blockade. It also quoted an unidentified official as saying "Adlai wanted a Munich” and favored trading Turkish, Italian and British missile bases for the Cuban bases. Says Matter Closed Stevenson, informed of the Life article, said Sunday night that “As far as I am concerned the matter is closed.” Ho said he was “most pleased and gratified with a letter from President Kennedy expressing regret at the stir caused by the Post article. The Life article noted that while the President expressed the fullest NFO President To Seek Eighth Term DES MOINES (UPD—Oren Lee Staley, who in September led the National Farmers Organization in a 32-day market boycott, Sunday night opened his campaign for re„eiection to an eighth consecutive term as president of the NFO. Staley told a meeting of 100 key NFO leaders that the two candidates opposing him in Thursday’s secret ballot election have generated “false impressions” which he will “clarify and set straight.” He is slated to present a “state of affars” report to more than 5,000 voting delegates from 18 states at the opening of the twodaiy convention Wednesday. Besides electing a president, convention delegates are expected to decide whether to resume the holding action on livestock and feed grains, which has been in “recess” since Oct. 2, and whether to expand the boycott to include other farm commodities, especially milk. Opposing Staley are two NFO officers — Harold Woodward, the group’s director of county activities, and Robert Casper, a national vice president. Woodward, 39, Bethany, Mo., has been critical of Staley’s handling of the NFO boycott to force prices upward. He has called for a change of leadership and policies and said he opposed resumption of the holding action at this time. Woodward’s criticism of Staley was tempered, however, by his statement that he had “considerable respect” for the veteran president. Staley said Sunday night that Woodward’s program was “shortsighted and unworkable.” He said both of his opponents have presented their positions “in insufficient detail for the members to know what they stand for.” Casper;' 48, who operates a 1,300 acre farm near Winterset, lowa, has said he will make no general statement on NFO policies until the convention opens. Staley denied rumors that Casper entered the race to split the anti-Staley vote and thus assure his re-election to the top post in the 7-year-old organization.

confidence In Stevenson, "unaccountably the letter still did not contradict the allegation made in the Post story.” "One thing, however, is very clear,” Life said. "The consequeces of the Alsop-Bartlett story and of the president’s hesitancy in denouncing it directly, served to undercut Ambassador Stevenson’s position in representing the U.S. at the United Nations. His prestige there, so carefully developed, has been tarnished.” Changes Are Made In License Branches K INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Changes have been made, or soon will be made, in auto license branch managers in six counties. Commissioner Allen Nutting of the Indiana Bureau of Me*rr Vehicles said today. Nutting said change* are scheduled soon in Lake anc Knox Counties, in addition to others just announced in Marion, Madison, Starke and Wells Counties. He said the changes in Marion and Madison Counties were the only two resulting from instructions from “across the street”— meaning the Democratic State Committee headed by Manfred Core. These two counties failed to pay assessments levied by the state political headquarters. — "I can see the state committee’s side,” said Nutting. “It takes money to run a political campaign and if these assessments were not paid, the party would soon fold.” Nutting said the Lake County change involves the replacement of Elmer Gerhart at Griffith by Robert Deeter. He said this change was requested by Lake County political leaders. Although Nutting declined to confirm the report, there had been rumors that at least three other Lake County branch managers may be replaced soon. No date was given for the Griffith changeover. However, Dec. 19 was set as date for Marie Shuckman to replace Frances Bell at Vincennes in Knox County. Mrs. Bell was elected county auditor and is resigning for that reason. Two other license branch changes also resujted from successful county elections. At Bluffton in Wells County, Hershel Grove replaced William Booher, who was elected county auditor. Gerald Wilson replaced Gordon Armstrong, who was elected sheriff in Starke County at Knox. Both changes were effective last Friday. Nutting said “it’s too bad” these changes came just before the start of license sales Jan. 2, but added he felt there would be no cutback in service with the possible exception of one of the two Marion County license branch changeovers. Russell Swisher, director of the Marlon County License Service, said he was told of the action by Core last Friday. Swisher is former Marion County Democratic chairman. Cor& said the reason for the action was the failure of the county committee to pay an assessment of $32,700 to the party treasury, - — —- ----- -- - The Marion County License Service is composed of the county’s Democratic ward chairmen and vice chairmen, under the state’s patronage system for selling license plates. The service is allowed to charge a 50-cent fee for each license plate sold with the proceeds being split between the party and the partners in the service. The change will be made after the State Board of Accounts completes an audit of the branch financial records. Some branch managers indicated they wanted to close up shop immediately but Swisher said they will stay open until audits are made. M Auction School To Present Program Reppert’s auction school will have the program for the Decatur Lions Club this evening, Clyde Butler, program chairman, announced joday . A large crowd is expected for the meeting, Butler said.

A seventh laureate, Soviet Prof. Lev Davidov Landau, received his award for physics” in a Moscow hospital, where he is recovering from injuries suffered in an automobile accident. It was presented by Swedish Ambassador Rolf Sohlman. Steinbeck, 60, author of the “Grapes of Wrath,” was presented his diploma, gold medal and a $50,043 check as the winner of the Nobel Prize for literature. “Among the masters of modern literature who have already been awarded this prize—from Sinclair Lewis to Ernest Hemingway — Steinbeck more than holds his own,” the chairman of the Swedish Academy of Letters, Dr. Anders Oesterling, told the audience. Dr. James Watson, 34, a Harvard University professor and youngest of this year’s winners, was the second American to be honored in this year’s prize list. He shared the medicine prize with two Britons, Dr. Maurice Wilkins, 46, and Dr. Francis Crick.

Record Peace Time Budget For Russians By ROBERT J. KORENGOLD United Preaa International MOSCOW (UPb — Hie Soviet Union announced today the highest peacetime -.budget in its history for 1963 including a slight increase in military spending. Finance Minister Vasili Garbuzov told the opening session of the Supreme Soviet, the nation’s parliament, that planned expenditures for 1963 would total 86.1 billion rubles (about $94.7 billion) of which 13.9 billion rubles (about $15.3 billion) were earmarked for defense. The figures topped last year’s record spending of 82.7 billion rubles (about $90.9 billion). Last year’s announced m’litary budget was 13.4 billion nbles (about $14.8 billion). Garbuzov said next year’s income for the government was planned at 87.6 billion rubles (about $96.4 billion), also a record total. This year’s Income was estimated at roughly 84.7 billion rubles (about $93.2 billion). The Supreme Soviet’s 1,143 deputies agreed at their opening session this morning on an agenda including a survey of the 1963 ectmomic plan and budget and a on foreign policy and the international situation. It was not known whether Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko or Premier Nikita Khrushchev would give the foreign policy report. Western observers here doubted it would come before Wednesday. .4
