Russia's Arctic Research Dwarfs Western Projects
By DAVE OANCIA Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CPI—Soviet Rus-
sia, using “Sputnik techniques", has in operation a mammoth Arctic research and development program dwarfing anything in the Western world. it was learned Friday.
Ilts extent was brought into focus by a dry, academic cata- logue called “Institutions of the USSR. active in Arctic research
“ and development,” published ear- lier this month by the Arctic In
stitute of North America.
It has prepared by Dr. Vladas Stanlna of the institute’s compila- tion staff, an authority on Arctic research.
The loo-page booklet lists a to— tal 'of 308 organizations actively engaged in, or encouraging, re- search and development in the Far North. ,
It makes available for the first time in English the location of 107 Russian polar stations, some
of which are less than 200 mil from the Canadian Arctic. es
Canadian scientists and Arctic experts. describe the publication as an important key for anyone who wants to see what the Bus- sians are doing in this field.
“Stanka’s book does not list startling facts,” said Michael Marsden, director of the insti- tute's Montreal centre.
“It is a calm catalogue of facts showing organizations located in the Arctic and organizations pro- moting or p u b‘ is h i n g Arctic work
“Simple of itself, it becomes startling when we read the papers it cites or compare its list of townships and their activities with those of our own Arctic.”
’Nnvm ORGANIZATION
Dr. Stankua’s book lists nine major organizations devoted en- tirely to Arctic work.
The first page says that Glave- sesmorput, or the northern sea route administration, in 1956 was
operating 15 icedbreakers. 100 ocean freighters, 150 aircraft and had 35,000 employees.
Another of the nine the Russian Arctic Institute has more than 11 diwsions with 500 research scien- tists working in all fields. Dr. Stanka says the institute sent out 3020 expeditions between 1920 and 1945. Since 1956 it has been spon- soring five major expeditions and 20 field parties annually.
The book's pdblication is part of thew program of the Arctic In- stitute of North America, Which has been compiling a bibli- ography of everything published about the Arctic regions.

ELECTED BY COLLEGE
Under the new constitution, the President is elected by a special oOl'lege of Grand Electors and not the members of both .houses of parliament as under the Fourth Republic.
The grand electors number 81,- 508. Of these, 76,310 are in Metro- politan France. 79 (senators and deputies) in Algeria, 1.266 in the overseas departments and 3,853 in the hoverseas territories chiefly in French West and Equa- torial Africa.
There are two other candidates for the presidency. One, profes- sor Albert Chatelet, is a freak candidate; the other is the Com- munist party’s Georges Marrane. Forecasts are that the Commu- nist will get at most 4.000 votes and the general practically all the rest.
The grand electors are repre- sentatives from all the munic1pal councils in France and the over- seas departments specially elec- ted by their respective bodies for this purpose. They also include members of the Senate and the National Assembly, of the general l counsellors (members of the local parliaments in each of the 90 de-
lpartments in France) and of the

LONDON (AP) — West Euro pean scientists Friday saw the launching of the Atlas as a great stride toward man's first voyage into space. I
Scientists of many nations voiced admiration of the US. ac- complishment. Informed opinion appeared convinced the orbiting Atlas has brought the day of the manned rocket nearer.
“The new American effort is in the first instance a prelude to a manned rocket.” said West Ger- many's leading rocket scientist, Dr. Eugen Saenger. “It will be sent up as soon as possible and will be of the greatest signifi- cance."
But Saenger said the Ameri- cans had still, not finally shown their space age superiority over the Russians a nd‘ the first manned rocket could come from either side.
“Only then will the real probing of the universe begin," he said.
In Britain, Kenneth Gatland of the interplanetary society said the steering of the rocket into or- bit could lead in time to a new system of refuel'ling in space by the accurate firing of supply rockets. v

TARGET IN MINUTES
In about four minutes, the Bo- mare had come within range of the first plane, a B-17 bomber, then was diverted at a right angle to intercept a smaller plane many miles away, reaching it in a total of about seven minutes.
Air force officials said either plane could have been knocked out of the air. However, the Bo- marc finally was permitted to drop harmlesst into the Atlantic.
Reporters watched on' a huge circular radar screen as the mis- sile, put in operation and directed by the computer 1,500 miles away from the launching site, went mating toward its target.

LONDON (Raiders) —— This is the sad story of Charlie, a homesick horse who tried to reach his native Wales on a mnaway ZOO—mile journey.

The railway declined to com- meat.
WASHINGTON (AP) The voice of President Eisenhower broadcast from a big new satel~ lite in space Friday the classic Christmas message of, peace on earth and goodwill toward men.
As the 85-foot Atlas rocket of more than four tons whirled in orbit past Cape Canaveral. F1a.. its unique communications sys- tem flashed the recorded words:
“This is the president ol the United States speaking.
“Through the marvels of sci- entific advance. my voice is com ing to you from a satellite travel- ling In outer space.
“My message Is a simple one. Through this unique means 1 con- vey to you and to all mankind America's wish for peace on earth and goodwill toward men everywhere."
MADE RECORD TUESDAY
The president recorded the message Tuesday, about 43 hours before the mightiest man-made object now in space roared from its Cape Canaveral launching pao at 6:02 p.m. EST Thursday.
The spectacular firing pulled US. military - scientific prestige to a new peak above the depths of 14 months ago when Russia's Sputnik l flashed aloft.
Eisenhower's message did two things. It emphasized, as he al- ready had done in announcing the launching Thursday night, the peaceful aspects of space explor- ation. And it dramatized the workability of an entirely new concept of space communication. ~ The lsovmund payload in the

The first tryout Thursday night was partially successful. The message got to the satellite all right but came back garbled.
Eisenhower's pre - recorded message returned Friday— scratchy and uneven—abut still resognizable.
RELAYED T0 WASHINGTON
It was picked up by the Cape Canaveral communications centre about 3:15 p.m. and re- layed to Washington. White House press secretary James C. Hagerty played the recording for reporters in his office.
At one point. the voice faded to an indistinct garble. Hagerty later supplied the unheard words.
The radio bands on which thl message was transmitted wen 132.435 and 132.905 megacycles. Radio frequencies for tracking purposes were announced earlier as 107.97 and 107.94 megacycles.
Eisenhower. in high spirits joined reporters at the Whit: House to listen to the recording. He listened intently and noted that one sentence was garbled.
"But It didn't hurt the message any." the president said. ~
ASTOUNDING FEAT
He called the feat “one of the astounding things again In thil age of invention." and said that perhaps television-in-spacc would be next. He laughed when report- ers suggested presidential press conferences might be conducted that way.
“Yes, we might us. first." Eisenhower said. adding archly. “where would you people like to be then?"
