Problems Are Discussed Al Conference

LONDON. Sept. 3 - (Reuters)- The first step on the stairway to the stars - a man-made satellite revolving around the earth like the moon - may be operating within 10 years.

This forecast was made today by the world's leading space-flight scientists here for the second In-

ternatlonal Congress on Astron- autics (navigation among the stars).

They said a 50-ton earth satel- lite vehicle may be boring through space about 300 miles above the earth at a speed of 18,000 m.p.h. within a decade. In 25 years flights lily! man to the moon may be poss-

9.

Once the space platform has at- tained the dizzying speed in its orbit no further power would be required, the vehicle being held in space by gravity like the moon.

With this satellite operating, first with only instruments and radio and later manned, the way would be open to exploratory flights in space by piloted rockets.

Besides being used for research purposes, it might also have mil- ltary significance. Among schemes mooted is the use of a giant mir- ror on the space platform to con- centrate a beam of sunrays in a burning blaze on enemy territory.

The congress is organized by the British Inter-Planetary society. founded in l933 to "promote the development of interplanetary ex- ploration and communications by the study of rocket engineering as- tronomy and other associated sciences." ,

At this year's meeting scientists from 12 countries including Canada hope to found an international as- tronautlcal society to co-ordinate research and pool results.

one of the main questions fac-

ing the scientists is the reaction of man's body beyond the force of gravity. For the rest oi this week the congress will delve into the realms of higher mathematics and tech- nology and exchange the results of years of work to bring man nearer to what the British society de- scribes as "nothing less than the greatest adventure awaiting man- kind."

The doors will be removed and normal bunks restored in time for the liner's scheduled crossing to Olnada tomorrow.

Meanwhile. work will proceed on planning furnishings for the royal suite. An official in close touch with arrangements said today he believes the fumlture will be so declined to to facilitate its remov- al when the Empress of France arrives in Canada with the royal party only in October.

Scientists Predict Space Navigation In 10 Years

MIAMI. Fla.. Sept. 3 - (AP) - The hurricane in the Caribbean Sea shifted its course tonight and pounded directly toward the al- ready storm-batterecl island of Jamaica.

Unless the tropical twister again changes direction during the night, the Miami Weather Bureau said it likely will slam into Jamaica to- morrow morning. covering the same ground where 150 persons died in a. hurricane last month.

The most immediate threat was to the southern coasts of the Do- minican Republic and Haiti. Hur- ricane warnings were hoisted there at 8 P. M. (E. D. T.).

Winds in the northern semi- circle of the hurricane were ex- pected to strike a glancing blow at these coasts in the next few hours.

The centre of the hurricane was located at 6 P. M. about 130 miles soutli-southeast of Cabo Beata. on the southernmost tip of the Domin- lean Republic. Winds of 100 mile- an-hour velocity whirled around the centre.

Winds of hurricane force ex- tended 125 miles to the north and 40 miles to the south of the eye of the storm. Gales reached out many miles farther.

The storm was moving on a

miles an hour and gradually grow- ing in size and intensity.

The hurricane formed yesterday between the islands of Martinique and St. Lucia, lashed at Martin- ique, then headed directly west- ward, over a. 1.200-mile stretch of open sea. On that course, there were no land areas between it and the coast of Nicaragua. Then it curved gradually northward.

., Another Storm Reported

While this hurricane, the fourth of the season. was taking its men- acing new turn. another tropical storm began growing up far out in the Atlantic.

The steamship Barn (not fur- ther identified) ran into high winds and heavy rain and reported circular movement after taking three different weather readings.

The Agenca France-Press report- ed in Paris that the storm at Mar- tinique was the most violent to hit the area in 20 years.

.Wlnds of 112 miles an hour rip- ped away roofs and uprooted trees in the capital, Fort-de-France. and throughout the southern part of the island.

There were no reports of casual- ties.

Convention held yesterday at Sum- irlcrside. The oftficial opening and the morning business sessions were held in the Regent Theatre and the afternoon meeting was held at the Legion Home.

At noon the veterans paraded to the war memorial -headed by the new Legion Band of Summer- side and Wreaths were placed. However a heavy rain set in and the March-past was not held. the parade being dismissed square.

Provincial president A. H. Peake presided at the opening and clos- ing sessions and the convention opened with the solemn 'Act of Remembrance." Past. president's medals were presented to a number of past presidents by His Honour Lieutenant-Governor T. W. L. Prowse who was present accompanied by his aide. Lt. Col. A. Rogers. The past presidents re- ceiving their medals were: Major T. 1:. .ilacNutt. W. S. Hughes. R. L. Molllson. Norman W. Lowther, Brenton Clark. Thos. Rogers. James Walker. John A. McDonald.

Dominion Command Greetings

The main speaker at the morn- ing session was Mr. J. K. Kennedy of Saint John. N. B. 2nd vice president of the Dominion Com- mand of the Legion. He brought the greetings of the Dominion command and the Dominion president and went on to deal with the "unetmpioyabllity supplement." 1 new feature of the vcterans' pension legislation which was passed at the last session of par- liament. He explained that it is opposed by the Legion because it endorses I. mean. test for pensions oither economl l or Q ysical.

He said it is an attempt to adopt somethin, from British leg- islation without telilng into con- sideration the social legislation in the British scheme which it sup- plements. He said "the legion op-

ment on the basis that veterans' pensions are based on right and not on need." He stressed that there is I need for an increase in the basic pension rate in line with the increased cost of living. He said that the Legion is asking that It be restored to its DEC-WI! value because it is now worth only so percent in real vIlue' of what it

Returning to this Province he practised at Kinkora for a time before moving to Emerald where he remained until 1918.1-le then came to this city where he stayed ever since. build-- ing up a large practise as a. phys- lclan and surgeon.

Last June he was honored by the Canadian Medical Association by being made Senior Member, ll. title only given to members of at least 20 years standing who reach the age of 70.

A keen student of Irish history, his interest was further deepened several years ago when he visited that country. and traced the an. ccstry of his own family. His love of the lore of Ireland and its romanticism led him to make a thorough study of the subject, on which he became an authority.

Two men died in fires. one was electrocuted and two died in tractor accidents. one man jump- ed from a bridge in Vancouver and one was found dead in an ot- tawa hotel room where. police said. he left a note indicating he intended to commit suicide.

Ontario reported 23 fatalities and Quebec three. New Brunswick. Manitoba and British Columbia each reported one.
