Currently, it is not clear that the expansionary forces now at work will carry the country through next year. Bauman notes. ^CIENCE^B Topics tjc ~7^ u-4 Those glowing reports made by our astronauts- the beads of light which seem to cling to orbiting space capsules will be studied in a joint program conducted by University of Colorado and U.S. Navy physicists. The experts believe "air glow" results when molecules and atoms an* excited by a bath of solar ultraviolet radiation. cosmic rays and solar winds They hope to obtain a picture of air glow's spectrum by firing a rocket above the altitude where the phenomenon occurs and photographing a large crosssection of it from a very small observatory in the rocket.

Dungeness crabs make excel- ‘ lent guinea pigs for studies of human neuromuscular control, l report medical experts at the University of Oregon. The crustaceans were selected by scientists because their muscular control system is similar to ours, easier to study. The University i will use them in research on diseases such as cerebral palsy, i Parkinson and tabes dorsalis, where muscular control is difficult or impossible.
