Salmon Migrate in
Similar Manner to Birds
VANCOUVER, B. C. UP) — A
scientist said the miraculous
homing instinct of salmon is at
tributed to celestial navigation.
Dr. A. J. H. Needier, Director
of the Department of Fisheries
Biological Station at Nanaimo,
B. C., said studies indicate that
salmon migrate from mid-ocean
to their spawning grounds in a
similar manner to birds.
The fish seemed to be confused
when skies are cloudy and speed
up when conditions are clear, he
said at a meeting of the Canadian
section of the North Pacific
Fisheries Commission.
Scientists had long attributed
the salmon’s homing instinct to a
sense of smell. This theory now
was practically abandoned in the
light of modern research.
Dr. Needier said that tagging
operations by the commission
prove that Canadian spawned
salmon spend their adult lives in
the Gulf of Alaska.

Will Explore
Radiation Mystery
By Howard Benedict
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. W—
A complex “space telescope” was
fired into orbit Thursday to ex
plore radiation mysteries of the
universe.
The 95-lb satellite named Ex
plorer XI sped away from this
test center at 9:17 a. m. in the
nose of a 76-foot Juno II rocket.
All four stages of the booster ig
nited successfully and propelled
the payload into orbit at nearly
18,000 mph.
More than two hours after
launching the National Aeronau
tics and Space Administration an
nounced that “tracking stations
at Johannesburg, South Africa;
Woomera, Australia; San Diego,
Calif., and East Grand Forks,
Minn., confirmed that the satel
lite is in orbit.”
The exact orbital path and other
details were not immediately
known. The telescope was aimed
at a course which would swing it
between 300 and 750 miles above
the earth.
Project officials said good sig
nals were being received from the
satellite.
The success gives U. S. scientists
the world’s first astronomical ob
servatory in space.
Explorer XI is shaped roughly
like a telescope but is not like
I the familiar telescopes through
which man looks at the stars.
The front end of the tubular
| section is stuffed with instru
; ments intended to peer into mil
j lions of miles of space, sorting
: out gamma rays from other space
I radiation such as protons and
| electrons.
The payload includes equip
; ment to relay the data to earth
I to be recorded in photographs of
wavy lines on an oscilloscope.
Each intended 98-minute orbit is
! expected to produce 36 feet of
35mm film for study.
The whole device is designed
to tumble end over end ten times
a minute as it speeds through
space. The Space Agency ex
plained that action will permit
the device to scan a given part of
the sky every six seconds.

Maine Sardines Seen As
Cholesterol Deterrent
RECENT feeding tests have
shown that diets with a Maine
sardine base will greatly re

to serious heart ailments. Ex
amination showed the choles

Maine Sardines was less than
half that of those fed a diet

Report Russians Have
\tomic Powered
"Phantom Warplane"
NEW YORK UP — The current
issue of Flying Magazine reports
the Russians have developed a
nuclear-powered “phantom war
plane” capable of flying nonstop ,
for months at supersonic speeds 1
and of outwitting radar detection
systems.
The magazine says its informa
tion comes from a Korean under
ground report turned over to
Allen Dulles, head of the U. S.
Central Intelligence Agency.
According to the publication,
the Soviet plane:
Can cruise at 2,500 mph with a
top speed of 3,500 mph.
Can fly nonstop for 90 days
and flew for 21 days without re
fueling during its test run.
Can fly at altitudes of up to
85,000 feet.
Can avoid and break through
detection systems, and in experi
ments outwitted detection by the
Soviet radar system 23 out of
25 times in flights over 10 major
Russian cities.

Two Defiant Anti
Castro Invaders Say
We’re Going Back’’
MIAMI, Fla. 14* — “We’re going
back. And the sooner, the better."
That was the defiance hurled
yesterday at Fidel Castro by two
rugged, sun-tanned Cubans who
said that in surviving the bloody
repulse of their invasion force
they learned lessons that will help
them “next time.”
The men, 35, and 42, smiled
when asked if they and brother
rebels were demobilized.
“We’re only on leave,” one said.
“In a few days we’re going back
to training camp.”
“Where?”
“Fidel Castro would like to
k n o w. Guatemala? Nicaragua?
He’s not even close in his guesses
so far. The men he captured
didn’t know where they trained
for the invasion of April 17. They
traveled by night and were res
tricted to the training area.”
