New “Sky Compass”
Permits Navigation
Without Sun, Moon, Stars
McKINLEY PARK, (^—Devel
opment of a new “sky compass”
that functions through use of po
larized light has been disclosed
by the Air Force.
The new aid, which has en
abled North Pole weather plane!
navigators to find their way with
out use of radio, moon or stars,
was described at the Alaska
Science conference here.
Capt. Eugene C. Murphy, 32,
assistant director of the naviga
tion section of the 58th Strategic
Reconnaissance Squadron at Eiel
son Air Force Base, told of the
new sky compass. He said there is
only one working model of the
instrument, employed excusively
on Boeing B-29s making weather
hops to the North Pole from the
Fairbanks base.
The sky compass is so named
because it requires only the sky
overhead to translate polarized
light into geographical location.
By computing the different inten
sities of light from the sky and
relating them to time and space
according to a fixed formulg the
navigator can get an accurate
heading.
The sky compass was described
as chiefly valuable in polar navi
gation where the magnetic com
pass sometimes goes awry and
radar and loran are not always
completely effective.

High Officer Asserts There
Are 5,000 to 6,000 .Russian
Soldiers In North Korea
SEOUL, (jT*)—A highly placed
U. S. Eighth Army officer said
Tuesday there are from 5,000 to
6,000 Russian, soldiers in rear
areas of North Korea.
This officer said in an inter
view that the Russians were tech
nicians and advisors and prob
ably manned modem radar-con
trolled anti-aircraft guns manu
factured in the Soviet Union.
The officer cannot be identi
fied but he holds a 1 sponsible
post that qualified him io speak
authoritatively.
; He conceded that some of those
reported to be Russians could be
East Europeans from Soviet satel
lite countries.
The officer described the anti
aircraft batteries at Red airfields
south of the big Antung bases in
Manchuria as modem stuff.
He added that because avail
able evidence has shown them to
be manned by Caucasians it was
assumed Russians were at the
guns.
Viscount Astor, Husband
Of Lady Nancy Astor,
Dies At Age of 73
CLIVEDEN, Eng., (/P) — Vis
count Astor, prominent British
publisher and sportsman and hus
band of Virginia - born Lady
Nancy Astor, died Tuesday. He
was 73.
Lord Astor, who was born in
New York City, long had been a
leader in British social and pol
itical life, along with his wife.
Unable, because of his title, to
hold a seat ii^ the House of
Commons, Lord Astor sponsored
his wife’s political career and
helped her to become the first
woman elected to the lower
parliamentary chamber.
He kept as close as possible to
the political scene and spoke fre
quently in the House of Lords.
But his wife’s peppery tempera
ment and eagerness to get into all
political arguments brought her
greater headlines.
Astor was the chairman for
many years of the influential
Sunday newspaper, The Observer.
16-Year-old Seward Boy,
Out Goat Hunting, Found
At Base 1,000 Foot Cliff
SEWARD, m — The broken
body of a 16-year-old boy who
slipped into a forbidden hunting
area was found Tuesday at the
base of a 1,000 foot cliff.
The youth reached the fatal
spot after by-passing police who
had set up roadblocks in search
for an escaped convict.
Willard Mehurin, formerly of
Carterville, Mo., had been missing
since Sunday when he failed to
meet a companion Jack Parret,
19, after a goat shooting trip.
Parret, a school mate of Me
hurin at Seward High School, re
ported his companion’s absence
after he failed to meet him at
their car. A search was begun,
aided by a 10th Rescue Squadron
helicopter.
Today, a party of 80 longshore
men and National Guardsmen lo
cated Mehurin’s body at the foot
of the cliff. At the top was a
goat, leading to a belief the youth
had fallen the entire distance.
