Soviet Lunik III Completes Moon Trip|
By PRESTON GROVER
MOSCOW, UP) — The Soviet
Lunik III, its historic trip past the
moon completed, presumably con
tinued on out into space Thurs
day on a wide curving course
scheduled to bring it rocketing
i back past the earth Oct. 18.
An official announcement Wed
nesday night said the 614-pound
flying vehicle will not start its
turn back toward the earth until
Saturday, after reaching a point
292,043 miles from the earth.
When radio contact was made
Wednesday, the vehicle was
78,750 miles from the moon and
258,957 miles from the earth.
There was no word of the re
sults — if any — of the vehicle’s
survey of the hidden side of the
moon. The announcement said
only that the “scientifc measuring
instruments, the thermal regula
tion and power supply systems
continue functioning normally.”
“After passing the point of
minimum distance from the
moon,” the announcement said,
“the automatic interplanetary
station continues to move firmly
along the pre-set orbit.”
The announcement added that
Lunik’s “shortest distance from
the earth’s surface will be about
40,000 kilometers <24,854 miles'”
when it passes the planet.
At the time ofllast Sunday’s
launching, Soviet scientists pre
dicted the vehicle might approach
within 1,240 miles of the earth.
But the new figure indicated it
would continue in orbit indefin
itely, since it would be far out of
the earth’s atmospheric friction
which would burn it up on con
tact.

Female Fan Undulges
In Sliding Practice
CHICAGO, UPI —Early arrivals
at Thursday’s sixth game in the
1959 World Series got a bit of
extra entertainment when a
plump woman fan, wearing a
white blouse and dark skirt, dash
ed from the right field boxes and
raced around part of the infield
while the White Sox were at bat
ting practice.
She slid into second base, raced
to third and slid again. There she
appeared delighted as she rolled
in the loose dirt while the Chicago
players watched. Finally three
policemen picked her up, and es
corted her from the field.
Alaskans Warned Against
Dangers In Plastic Bags
JUNEAU — Following a report
that plastic bags were involved in
almost 100 deaths in the United
States during the first, eight
months of this year, a warning
for care in re-use or disposal of
plastic packaging was sounded
again this week by Dr. Harry V.
Gibson, Alaska Divsion of Health
Director.
Orignally used for protection
of dry cleaning, laundry and other
packaging, 4he filmy plastic has
caused suffocation of infants when
re-used as mattress or pillow cov
ering that clung to their faces,
shutting off air. the reports
stated.
Parents are warned, Dr. Gibson
said, that filmy plastic coverings
should not be used in cribs and
children should not be permitted *
to play with discarded plastic
bags. The plastic wrappings
should be destroyed when they
have served the purpose for which
.they were intended.
No deaths due to misuse of plas
tic bags have been reported to the
Alaska Health Divsion, Bureau of
Vital Statistics, Dr. Gibson said,
and it is sincerely hoped that
none will be.
