Astronomers to
Try Sharpshooting
And Hit a Comet
BERKELEY, Calif. UP) — As
tronomers are eager to try some
celestial sharpshooting and hit a
C'wnet.
They want to shoot a space
probe , complete with camera,
clean through a comet’s huge
glowing head. That would answer
many mysteries about comets,
which are thought to be dirty
snowballs trailing tails millions of
miles long. '
In fact, world astronomers meet
ing here suggest a good target is
Encke’s Comet, dut to visit three
years hence.
It will be a neat trick, for the
closest Encke’s Comet comes to
earth will be 25 million miles,
July 12, 1964. And since comets
wheel along about 50,000 miles
an hour, the probe needs a good
and accurate head start to make
the rendezvous.
Comet and meteor specialists
from 33 countries in the Inter
national Astronomical Union have
endorsed the comet shot as a valu
able scientific goal.
Encke’s Comet has a genuine
head about 60,000 miles wide. But
the core is believed to be only
a mile-wide hunk of frozen gases
and dirt, like “a dirty snowbank
in Chicago,” said Dr. Gerard ifcui
per of the University of Arizona.
One plan, he ahd Dr. Gerhardt
Herzberg of Ottawa, Canada, ex
plained, would be to send the
probe through the head, coming
within perhaps 10,900 miles of its
snowball heart. A telescopic
camera 40 inches long could take
pictures of the core and televise 1
them back for the first look at
the structure of the heart.
Other instruments could take
samples of the chemicals in the
head —'presumed to be various
forms of carbon atoms arid com
binations of carbon, riltrogen,
hydrogen and oxygen — and other
comet jpaKs
The smaller heart is thought to
be mainly frozen ammonia and
water and solid particles of
heavier matter or metals.

CAB Seeks Advice from
Airlines Serving Alaska
WASHINGTON UP) — The Civil
Aeronautics Board is meeting in
formally this week with officials
of the four interstate airlines serv
ing Alaska.
The board, in separate meet
ings, is seeking advice on these
issues:
Are there too many airlines in
this field? If so, which should be
eliminated?
Could one or more mergers be
achieved? Or would realingment
and transfer of certain routes be
the answer?
CAB said yesterday that Chair
man Alan S. Boyd invited Pan
American World Airways, North
west Airlines, Pacific Northern
Airlines and Alaska Airlines to
discuss “the continuing problem
of uneconomic multiple-carrier
service in a relatively thin mar
ket.”
Boyd said he has discussed the
problem with the Alaskan con
gressional delegation.
The informal talks could lead
to a formal investigation of the
Interstate Air Service needs of
Alaska.
The representatives at the con
ferences include three airline
presidents — Northwest’s Donald
W. Nyrop of Minneapolis, and two
Seattle citizens, Charles F. Wil
lis Jr. of Alaska Airlines and A.
G. Woodley of Pacific Northern.
Hfettiihgway's Widow
Receives Entire Estate
NlSW YOfilt tf) — Ernest Hem
ingway’s handwritten will leaves
his entire estate to his widow,
Mary, and asks her to provide for
his three sobs by a previous mar
riage.
The Nobel and Pulitzer prize
winner died July 7 from a self
inflicted shotgun wound at his
home in Ketchum, Idaho.
His will was filed for probate
in Surrogate’s Court Thursday,
and his estate was listed as “over
$2#,000” pending further apprai
sal.
In the will, Heminway wrote
“I have intentionally omitted to
provide for my children as I re
pose complete confidence in my
beloved wife, Mary, to provide for
them according to written instruc
tions I have given her.”
The three children are John
Hemingway of Mill Valley, Calif.;
Gregory Hemingway of the Uni
versity of Miami (Fla.) School of
Medicine; and Patrick Heming
way, a safari guide in Tanganyika.
Hemingway’s attorney, Alfred
Hice, said the estate consisted of
cash, securities, real estate in the
United States and Cuba, copy
rights to the published works and
original manuscripts of published
works and unpublished manu
scripts.

State of Washington to Start

food-rationing plan for a national
emergency. The 756,000 heads of
household in the state probably
will register for the program the
week of Nov. 6. Gove. Rosellini

Lysine improves Protein Value of Bread [
“There is no question that the addition of lysine greatly
improves Me protein value of wheat flour,” Dr. w. H. Sebrell,
Jr., director of the Institute of Nutrition Sciences, Columbia
University, told members of the food industry recently.
In an address delivered ai
a meeting in New York City
to celebrate the twentieth an
niversary of bread enrichment,
Dr. Sebrell, a leader in nutri
tion research and its applica
tion to public health, discussed
the desirability of adding the
amino acid, lysine, to enriched
bread in order to improve its
protein value.
Bread has contributed to
mankind’s well-being for some
thing over 8,000 years. It has
figured in the advancement of
civilization itself. It was the
production of grain and bread
that helped induce man to end
a nomadic life and establish
homes and communities. Our
entire modern civilization is
based on the cereal grains of
which wheat is nutritionally
the most important.
In the human diet, wheat
protein is inferior to animal
proteins because it does not
contain the essential amino
acid, lysine, in the proper ratio.
__
: I ra_i
But extensive tests made by
scientists working for universi
i ties and manufacturers, such as
i Merck & Co., Inc., who produce
. lysine, have shown that wheat
; proteins with small amounts of
lysine added have an efficiency'
comparable to the best quality
proteins. Proper lysine fortifi
cation can double the protein
efficiency of bread.
