I Soviets Dissect
Ice from Space
By ANTHONY WHITE
MOSCOW (jP — Using the most
modern scientific aids, Soviet ex
perts are busily trying to solve the
mystery of the chunk of ice that
fell to the earth last month. The
most popular theory: It came
from far out in space.
Tass reported Saturday that a
“complicated isotope analysis”
could provide the final clue to
the origin of the ice. Scientists
have rejected theories that the ice
fell from a high-flying plane or
formed in the atmosphere.
They are now working on the
assumption that it was part of a
huge “ice meteorite” which sur
vived entry into the earth’s at
mosphere.
Tlie ice, weighing 11 pounds, hit
the ground near a peasant woman
working in an orchard at Domo
dedovo, near Moscow, Aug. 27, ac
cording to Soviet reports. It shat
tered into several fragments which
were preserved by covering them
with rags.
Tass said yesterday a team in-1
vestigating the origin of the ice
includes astronomers, glaciologists
and geochemists.
“There are grounds to believe
that the ice is of space origin,”
they said. “Science, it is true, does
not know of any precedent.
“Theoretically, a meteor body
of ice can exist in space. Latest
studies confirm that there are
frozen bodies in space.
“If we are to make an assump
tion about the space origins of the
ice. then it might have flown from
the outskirts of the solar system
and rapidly disintegrated as it
approached the earth.
“Under this theory, this chunk
of ice is only an insignificant frac
tion of the original mass.”

Dillon Asserts Spending
Rate Is Slowed
WASHINGTON _ Secretary
of the Treasury Douglas Dillon, a
Republican, said today federal
spending has grown at a slower
rate during the Kennedy Admin
istration than during the last
three years Dwight D. Eisenhower
was in the White House.
In an exclusive Associated Press
interview, Dillon said “It is hard
to put a spending tag on one ad
ministration as compared to a pre
vious one with that sort of record
unless you are ready to attack de
fense and space."
Dillon served under Eisenhower
as undersecretary of state and was
named to his present post by
President Kennedy.
He said he still if optimistic
about chances for passage of the
tax cut bill, which he said will
“do more for our economy and
more for curing the balance of
payments than any step I know.”
Dillon said he is counting on in
creased public support in the next
few weeks to speed Congressional
action on the tax bill, which
would provide for a reduction of
about $11 billion in individual and
corporate income taxes.
Dillon believes that a Brookings
Institute report, which forecast
that the basic imbalance would be
corrected by 1968. was “overly op
timistic on the trade side. Conse
quently, I think we might do bet
ter in some of the other areas as
diverting more foreign aid buy
ing to the United States.”
Regarding the tax bill, he pre
dicted the most important support
for it during the crucial Senate
consideration “will come from or
ganized groups — the business
community, for instance, and
labor.”

Venezuelan Quints
Now Three Days Old
MARACAIBO, Venezuela OP —
A team of medical specialists kept
vigil today over three-day-old
quintuplet boys, born almost two
months premature to a Venezue
lan grandmother.
The mother, Mrs. Maria Cuervo
De Prieto, 34. and the infants—the
third known set of quintuplets,
born in the Western Hemisphere—
were reported by a spokesman at
Maracaibo Hospital to be in satis
factory condition. The babies were
placed in an incubator and given
a special skimmed milk diet.
Mrs. De Prieto has five children
by a previous marriage, including
a daughter, 17, who recently gave
birth.
The husband, Efren Luis De Pri
eto, 39, a foreman for the Creole
Petroleum Co., a subsidiary of
Standard Oil of New Jersey, has
eight children from an earlier mar
riage. Both De Prieto and his wife
are divorcees.
The quintuplets were born dur
ing a 50-minute period shortly af
ter midnight Friday. Doctors said
the first baby weighed 3 pounds,
15.5 ounces; the second 3 pounds,
4.9 ounces; the third and fourth
each 3 pounds 1.4 ounces, and the
fifth 4 pounds 3 ounces.
“I feel well,” said Mrs. De Pri
eto. ‘‘There was no sickness nor
pain. It was tranquil.”
The father was quoted by the
newspaper El Nacional as saying
he married his common-law wife
of two years at a simple ceremony
several hours after the births.
‘‘I decided to marry her when
I learned she was going to have
quintuplets,” said the proud father.
