Three Released
By Red China
LONDON iff'—Red China Thurs
day ordered the release and de
portation of three imprisoned Am
ericans, Peiping radio said.
A broadcast, heard here, identi
fied the Americans as Mrs. Homer
V. Bradshaw, Marcellus White,
and Justin Garvey.
Mrs. Bradshaw was imprisoned
with her husband in March 1951.
Dr. Bradshaw, a member of the
third Presbyterian Church of
Pittsburgh, and his wife both were
medical missionaries. Mrs. Brad
shaw, the former Wilda Hocken
berry, was graduated from Penn
sylvania State College in 1925. She
and Dr. Bradshaw were married
in 1928 just before going to China.
The Rev. Marcellus White, 46,
of Waltham, Mass., was serving as
a Passionist missionary when he
was jailed in February 1952. He
studied at the Passionist Seminary
in Dunkirk, N.Y., and was or
dained in 1934.
The Rev. Justin Garvey, 40, of
Union City, N.J., was sent to Chi
na by the Passionist order in 1946
to serve as a missionary. He was
arrested in December 1951.
Convention Delegates Will
Take Day Off Saturday
To Tour Ladd AFB
FAIRBANKS, (ff)—Courtesy and
education won out over ambition
yesterday and tomorrow will be
a day off for delegates to the
Alaska Constitutional Convention.
The delegates had accepted an
invitation of Ladd Air Force Base
officials to tour that military in- !
stallation Saturday and it was
part of the official agenda until
someone raised the question of
advisability on yesterday’s after
noon session.
Pretty soon a full scale argu
ment developed over whether the
group should be idle from Fri
day evening to Monday morning
and M. J. Walsh suggested chang
ing the schedule so a half day
would be spent at the air base
and a half day at work.
A move to make that change
lost, however, and those who want
to will see the air base. It is ex
pected some diehards will meet in
the convention hall, anyway.

DOROTHY’S
Senators’ Views Vary
On Result of Geneva
Big Four Meeting
WASHINGTON, M— Sen. Ellen
der (D-La) said Thursday that this
country’s spokesmen “should not
get too nasty” over lack of East
West agreement at Geneva, but
Sen. Jackson (D-Wash) said “we
are still in a cold war up,to our
necks.”
Ellender, who spent three weeks
visiting behind the Iron Curtain
this summer, said in an interview
“nobody should be surprised at
the failure of the foreign minis
ters conference in Geneva.”
But he said he does-not expect
the Russians to resume tough tac
tics in the cold war in Europe.
“I think the Communist leaders
want to keep the Iron Curtain
partly open,” Ellender said. “From
what I saw of the Russian and
satellite people, they do not want
war and are not ready for it.”
Jackson, a member of the Armed
Services Committee, said the lack
of agreement at Geneva should
“convince everyone that the Sovi
et smile is a smokescreen to cover
up the continuing Communist ob
jective of world domination.”
Soviet leaders have made no
concessions of substance that dem
onstrate actual good faith,” he
said.
Air Force Releases 5,283
Acres Near Eielson AFB
WASHINGTON, UR — The Air
Force has turned back 5,283 acres
near Fairbanks, which will be
opened to public use this winter.
The Air Force action was noted
in a Bureau of Land Management
order setting up priorities for
public acquisition of the land.
The tract is adjacent to the
west boundary of Eielson Air
Force Base and includes some is
lands in the Tanana River. Near
ly all of it is flooded periodically.
Subject to existing rights, ap
plications to occupy the land un
I der the Homestead, Alaska Home
| Site and Small Tract Laws, will
I be accepted from veterans of
| World War II or the Korean war
until March 16, 1956. It will then
be opened for applications by non
preference applicants and for lo
cation under the mining laws.
Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
So rapid has been the move
ment of our largest planet, Jupi
ter, that it is now on the east side
of Regulus, the lowest star in the
constellation called “Leo.”. The
. planet now forms a scalene tri
l angle with the bottom two stars
! in the constellation. Two weeks
ago it had the same relative posi
tion on the west side.
The telescope reveals cloudlike
masses near the edge of the equa
torial zone. They appear to flow
over into the red belts in the
shape of long oblique streamers.
Farther from the equator are still
other belts, growing narrower to
wards the poles. This is due to
the curvature of the spherical sur
face and is therefore foreshort
ened.
Color and intensity of the prin
cipal belts are by no means con
stant. Their hues being at times
brownish, copper - colored, and
purple^ Of the two hemispheres,
the reddish tint of the southern
one is most noticeable.

U.S. Will Launch
At Least 10 Space
Satellites in 1957-58
CHICAGO, The United
States plans to fire at least 10
instrument filled satellites into
space in 1957 and 1958, hoping
half of them will circle the globe
in the manner of the moon.
This was disclosed Wednesday
night by Dr. Joseph Kaplan, the
chairman of the group entrusted
with the American satellite pro
gram. He outlined some new de
tails about the satellites in a talk
to the American Rocket Society.
Kaplan heads the U.S. national
committee for * the International
Geophysical Year, a section of the
National Academy of Sciences
which President Eisenhower em
powered to conduct the satellite
program..
The program is part of the U.S.
contribution to the IGY, a period
from July 1, 1957, to Dec. 31, 1958,
when scientists of more than 40
nations will cooperate in a study
of the earth and its atmosphere.
The satellites are to be carried
into space by giant rockets. Then
they are expected to travel freely
about the earth, much as does the
moon. Inside will be instruments
to measure ultraviolet rays, cos
mic rays, and other particles in
space. Measurements taken from
observation points on the ground
with the satellites as references
are expected to add to man’s
knowledge of the earth itself. I
