i'ILS. Scientists Say
“We Hit the Moon”
PASADENA, Calif. UF> — There
was no one there to watch, early
April 26, when U.S. spacecraft
Ranger 4 came cruising around the
edge of a bright half moon.
American scientists said it fell,
there on the moon’s hidden back
side, pulled into the lunar crust
by gravity. And no one disputed
them — until Thursday.
Then Soviet Premier Khrushchev
declared that no U.S. rocket had
hit the moon.
He offered no scientific facts to
back up his statement — just the
taunting comment that the Rus
sian marker on the moon is
getting lonesome, up there, waiting
for an American companion.
“Nonesense,” replied scientists at
Pasadena’s Jet Propulsion Labora
tory, who built Ranger 4 and track
ed it to its lunar rendezvous. “We
hit the moon,” they said.
Observers noted that there was
no one on the moon when the Red
Lunik made its 1959 landing,
either.
Although Hungarian astronomers
claimed seeing a dust cloud when
the Lunik crashed, and two British
astronomers said they saw a pin
point of light which could have
been Lunik’s impact, it was radio
data which convinced the world’s
experts that the spacecraft had
really gotten there.
U.S. scientists have similar radio
data to back up their statement
that Ranger made it to the moon,
too.
.TPT . oh 1 of wmiow Dinlravmfr
couldn’t be more certain about
Ranger’s fate. He said:
“On April 26, at 4:47.50 a.m.
(PST), Ranger 4 was tracked by
the Goldstone (Calif., space signal)
receiver as it passed the leading
edge of the moon.
“At 4:4953 am. (PST), it crash
gi An the at --s: 'Idsifi
| tude of 229.5 degrees east and lunar
I latitude 15.5 south.”
U.S. space experts offered some
further arguments:
1. The fact that Ranger 4 was so
low (110 miles from the moon)
that it couldn’t have possibly
escaped the moon’s gravity,
2. The fact that if it had, it
would have swung around the
moon and headed bade to earth—
but didn’t.
But the main proof of Ranger’s
historic voyage rests with the radio
data. And there is this complica
tion: Ranger experienced a power
failure which shut down its big
radio transmitter, the one the whole
world could have treked. The tiny
transmitter which kept operating
had so feeble a signal, said the
experts, only Goldstone’s giant
ear could track it.
And Premier Khrushchev, ap
parently, wasn’t buying Goldstone’s
version. v
Plans to Name Atty. General
JUNEAU (if) — Gov. Wm. Egan
said today he planned to name a
new State Attorney General by the
end of this week to replace Ralph
E. Moody, who was appointed to
the Superior Court bench in the
Third Judicial Division.
There was strong speculation in
Juneau that Egan’s choice would
be George N. Hayes, for diitrict
attorney for the Third Division
who also served as chief of the
law department’s criminal division.
Egan also said he planned to
name the commissioner to head the
new Department of Economic De
velopment and Planning shortly
before the new department is for
mally created July 1. ~
A COMPLIMENT . . .
Two ladies from Fairbanks, here
for the Republican meeting on
Saturday had an interesting com
ment to make on Nome’s hospit
ality. They were Mrs. Lucile Har
kabus and Mrs. Sylvia Rings tad,
who said thata “Everyone who
comes to Alaska is impressed by!
the hospitality shown them, but it
is only at Nome that the old-time j
welcome is really shown.” rw Wm

| TV Executives
Get Airing on
“Sex Shows”
WASHINGTON UP* — A network
executive says that in the lingo
of television, an order to write
parts for wholesome, attractive
girls can easily be interpreted as
a demand for ‘‘broads, bosoms and
fun.”
And another executive told Sen
ate investigators Friday that the
word sex can mean anything from
“mother-and-ehild scenes to the
way an actress walks.”
Top officials of all three major
television networks appeared before
the Senate Subcommittee on Ju
venile Delinquency, which is in
vestigating television’s impact on
the nation’s youth.
Subcommittee chairman Thomas
Dodd, (D-Conn.), said he saw an
“unmistakable pattern” in network
programs. “You all seem to use
the same terminology ... to think
alike . . . and to jam this stuff
down the people’s throat,” he said.
James Aubrey Jr., president of
the CBS Television Network, said
he didn't believe he used those
words in connection with any
CBS program.
But he said it is “quite easy for
people in the business” to trans
late a request for wholesome,
pretty girls as asking for broads,
and to interpret attractive as
meaning bosoms.
Walter D. Scott, executive vice
president of NBC, told the subcom
mittee about television transla
tions of the word “sex.”
“Sex, as used among people who
create films, is somewhat different
than when it is used by those not
in the business,” he said. “I’ve
heard it used in every -connotation
in the industry — from mother and
child scenes to the way an actress
walks.” **
W. More, head of ABC
television replied:
“I don’t «se it. We refer to ro
mance or love interest. But we
don't call it sex.”

US. OBTAINING DATA ON
RECENT NUCLEAR TESTS
WASHINGTON UP> — Chairman
Glenn T. Seborg of the Atomic
Energy Commission says indica
tions are the government is get
ting the information it sought in
the current series of nuclear tests
in the skies over the Pacific.
Except for this remark Seaborg
was as tight-lipped Sunday on a
recorded television interview with
Sen. Kenneth B. Keating, (R-N.Y.),
as the government has been in
announcing firing of the tests.
The 10th Pacific explosion was
announced Saturday. It was de
scribed as an air drop of inter
mediate yield — meaning a blast
equivalent to 20,000 to 1 million
tons of conventional explosive
force. The government also an
nounced an underground test of
intermediate yield at the Nevada
proving ground, the 32nd in that
series.
TAKING IT EASY , . .
SOFIA, Bulgaria — “When
you work, you should work quickly
but when you drink you should take
it easy.”
This was the dictum laid down
today by Premier Khrushchev dur
ing a chat with Bulgarian Com
munist party leader, Todor Zhiv
kov, over glasses of chilled Bul
garian wine. Someone asked the
visiting Soviet Premier about his
current drinking habits and he re
plied with a smile:
“There’s not much to be said
about that.”
He hasn’t been doing much
drinking for quite a spell now, i
presumably on doctor’s orders.

PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT
WILL NOT VISIT US.
MANILA UP — President Maca
pagal tonight postponed his state
visit to the United States inde
finitely because of the U.S. House
of Representatives’ rejection of a
long-pending Philippine war dam
age bill.
Magcapagal, in a nation-wide
radio television address, said “while
reiterating my gratitude for the in
vitation that the American Presi
dent so kindly extended to me, it
is with deep regret that I am con
strained to postpone the date of
the visit.”
The President put off the visit—
scheduled for next month—“until
such time as the circumstances will
permit me to go on a state visit,
which would be most pleasant, be
cause it would be acceptable to
our people.”
Macapagal explained that “the
feeling of resentment among our
people and the attitude of the
Congress of the United States ne
gate the atmosphere of good will
upon which my visit to the United
States was predicated.
“I feel that our people would
never understand how, under the
circumstances at this time, I could
go to the United States and dwell
on the subject of good will. At
this present moment, the word will
sound empty.”
