U.S. Sets Off 4th
High-Altitude Device
HONOLULU -.■? — A fireball
flashed across the Pacific Thurs
day as the United States set off
its fourth high-altitude nuclear de
vice in eight attempts above tiny
Johnston Island.
A brilliant series of rainbow
colors. visible here 750 miles from
the test area, lighted the skies
for almost a minute before blend
ing into the darkness.
The fireball wasn't expected to
be visible here and observers were
surprised by the sudden brilliance
of the sky. The flash of last Fri
day's blast barely was visible
through the clouds.
The device, sent aloft an esti
mated 30 to 40 miles Wednesday
night by a Thor booster, packed a
nuclear punch in the submegaton
range, equivalent to between 20,
000 and a million tons of TNT.
Four earlier attempts to de
tonate nuclear devices above John
ston fizzled because of malfunc
tions in the Thor missile tracking
system.
Another high-altitude, low-yield
test is planned for Saturday, pos
sibly the concluding shot in the
current test series that began last
April 25.

Stepovich Don't Show
For Debate With Egan
ANCHORAGE — Gov. Win.
Egan Wednesday night charged
his opponent “surrounded himself
with professional political hacks
who are trying to glorify a man
who has not come forward to speak
for himself.”
Egan made the statement dur

His opponent, Republican Mike
Stepovich, failed to appear to par
ticipate in what was billed as a
debate. Stepovich is in Soldotna.

the courage of his convictions or
the knowledge of being right, he
would be here tonight to meet
me face to face.”

Soviet Scientist
Lev Dandaii Wins
Nobel Prize for Physics
| STOCKHOLM, Sweden Mft_-Tlu
| 1962 Nobel Prize for physics was
awarded to Soviet scientist Lev
Davidovic Landau, whose probes
into the mysteries of the universe
hOp pave the way for the launch
ing of the Soviet sputniks.
The 1962 prize for chemistn
went to two scientists at Cam
bridge, England, whose work un
folded secrets in the human blood.
Dr John Cowdery Kendrew and
Dr. Max Ferdinand Perutz share
| 'he $49,656 prize for their studies
of globular proteins.
Landau, 54, is one of the few
Jews to attain a high place in So
viet science. He was awarded the
$49,656 physics prize for “his pio
neering theories for condensed
matter, especially liquid helium.’
Landau’s research was halted
Jan. 7 by an automobile accident.
His car skidded on ice and crash
ed in Rubno, 75 miles from Mos
cow. He lapsed into a coma and
was still unconscious in March
when a Canadian neuro-surgeon,
Dr. Wilder Penlield, flew to Mos
cow to join French, Czech and
Soviet specialists working to bring
him around. Landau is reported
making progress but there are
doubts in Moscow he ever will re
cover fully.
The winners named Thursday
will receive their awards along
with others previously named —
literature a n d medicine — in
Stockholm on Dec. 10. A commit
tee of the Norwegian Parliament
has yet to select a Nobel peace
prize winner for the year.

The Sisterhood Circle of the
Methodist Church will meet at the
