One Survivor
Found In Crash Of
Argentine Plane
BUENOS AIRES, UP> — An Ar
gentine airliner with 52 persons
aboard crashed into the Atlantic
Ocean Friday night off the seaside
resort of Mar Del Plata. Only one
survivor was found.
Almost four hours after the
vacation flight crashed, a man
was found alive on the beach, his
clothes burned or ripped off. All
others on the twin-engine plane
apparently perished. Only three
bodies were recovered.
Searchers were hampered by
stormy waters, and said many of
those in the plane presumably
were trapped inside and drowned.
Among those on the j^ssenger
j list were Eduardo Braun Menen
dez, one of Argentina’s most fa
• mous scientists, and Dr. Jose Mex
zadra, another well-known scien
tist. There was no immediate con
firmation that they actually had
been aboard.
The plane belonged to Austral
Airlines, a new company known
throughout the country for its
penguin trademark because of
flights to Argentina’s cold and
bleak southland.
The airliner was on a special
summertime vacation flight from
Buenos Aires to Mar Del Plata,
240 miles to the south, and then
to Bahia Blanca, another 260 miles
west.
ASTE'INOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
Next to the moon, the four
bright satellites of Jupiter are
the most conspicuous in our
skies. They could be glimpsed with
the naked eye if they were far
ther removed from the glare of
their planet. Galileo discovered
them early in 1610.
The four bright satellites are
numbered in order of distance
from Jupiter. They have personal
names, although they are not so
often used. The first and second
satellites are about the size of the
moon. The third and fourth are
half again greater in size. They
are the largest of all satellites,
and surpass even the planet Mer
cury in diameter. Like the moon,
they all have equal periods of ro
tation and revolution.
These bright satellites revolve
from west to east in nearly cir
cular orbits, nearly in the plane
of the planet’s equator, and of
its orbit around the sun. Since
their paths are not far from edge
wise to the earth, they seem to
oscillate from one side of tne
planet to the other.

Atom Plant
Produced By U. S.
By FRANK E. CAREY
Astoria* ei P^e-5 Science Reporter
WASHINGTON, — An atom
ic device with no moving parts
and small enough to be tucked in
a handbag may be the forerunner
of means of providing the elec
tricity to help man in space.
This was one result foreseen
last week of a new method to pro
vide power over lengthy periods
without the aid of batteries.
The new development, hailed by
the Atomic Energy Commission as
“highly significant,” was an
nounced Friday at the White
House.
Col. Jack Armstrong, deputy
chief of the AEC’s aircraft reac
tor division, predieted such bat
teryless power might also be used
in the future to:
Provide juice for instruments in
large, unmanned satellites for long
periods of time; furnish shelter
heat and power for communica
tions and weather instruments in
remote areas like the Arctic and
Antarctic: provide new types of
navigational aid, for air and sea
traffic, and allow use of radio
controlled beacons which might
forecast the development of hur
ricanes.
The device employes radioac
tive polonium 210 as a heat source
and chemicals which convert the
heat into electricity without any
moving parts.
The AEC calls it Snap 3 — short
for System for Nuclear Auxiliary
Power.
The development at present
consists of a five-pound device,
somewhat resembling a ship’s ba
rometer. Officials estimate the
weight could be cut to three
pounds.
The model cost $15,000. But
AEC spokesmen say it probably
can be turned into a production
power unit.
WORRIED FATHER . . .
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., UP — A
father with worry in his voice
called the Knoxville Journal Fri
day night and asked if he could
“run a piece in the paper about
my boy.”
“He ran away from home Thurs
day and we haven’t heard from
him since,” he explained. “I
want him to please come home.”
Asked his son’s age, the father
replied, “He’s 37.”
