Three-Nation
Team Discovers
102nd Element
CHICAGO, UPi—The discovery
of element 102—the 10th and
newest synthetic element of the
atomic age—was announced yes
terday by a joint international
research team from the United
States, Great Britain and Sweden.
The new element has the pro
posed name of nobelium, after the
-Nobel Institute for physics in
Stockholm. It was made by bom
barding curium, synthetic ele
ment 06, with positively charged
carbon ions accelerated in the No
<bel Institute’s cyclotron.
The discovery resulted from
the joint efforts of scientists from
the Argonne National Laboratory
near Chicago, the Atomic Energy
Research Establishment at Har
well, England, and the Nobel In
stitute.
It marked the first time any of
the artificially created elements,
all heavier than uranium, has
been discovered by an interna
tional research team. Uranium is
element 92.
Nobelium is very unstable, hav-!
ing a half life of a few minutes.
It loses half of its radioactivity in
that time.
The new element is a solid but
has not been obtained in suffi
cient quantity to determine its
color, melting or boiling point.
Natural Gas Bill OK’d
By Commerce Committee
WASHINGTON UR—The House
Commerce Committee yesterday
approved the controversial natur
al gas bill by a tight 15-13 vote.
The bill is designed to free
natural gas producers from utility
type regulations by the federal
government. It is now slated to
go to the House Rules Committee,
where further opposition is ex
pected.
The natural gas bill has been
hotly attacked by some consumer
groups.
The measure is similar to one
vetoed last year by President Ei
senhower. Eisenhower said then
he believed in the principle of the
legislation, but was vetoing it
because of what he said were
“arrogant” lobbying efforts in its
behalf.
Hawaiian Delegate Asks
Lower Rate for
Air Parcel Post
WASHINGTON, URU-Delegete
Burns (D-Hawaii) introduced a
bill yesterday to revise and re
duce the rate for air parcel post
in the United States and its terri
tories.
The present rate is 80 cents for
the first pound and 80 cents for
any fraction of a pound.
Burns proposed a rate of five
cents for each ounce. Thus the
rate would remain the same for
even pounds but lower otherwise.

Ousted Leaders
May Be Expelled
From Party
MOSCOW <£>—The Soviet press
hinted strongly yesterday the way
is being cleared to expel V. M.
Molotov, Georgi Malenkov and
Lazar Kaganovich from the So
viet Communist Party.
The government newspaper Iz
vestia listed various degrees of
punishment which can be invoked
against party members who plot
against the party’s “monolithic
unity.”
Izvestia quoted Lenin and de
cisions of the 10th party congress
of 1921 to show that “plotters
against party unity” are liable to
punishment up to and including
expulsion from the lowest ranks
of the Communist party.
Malenkov, former Foreign Min
ister Molotov, and former First
Deputy Premier Kaganovich were
ousted from the party’s ruling
body in last week’s purge. Malen
kov, successor to Stalin as pre
mier, has been signaled out for
the most severe criticism.
The campaign of press denun
ciation expanded as party boss
Nikita Khrushchev, victor in the
current upheaval, and Premier
Nikolai Bulganin, traveled to
Prague on a “good will” visit.
Just after he crossed into
i Czechoslavakia, Khrushchev made
a brief speech. But he pointedly
refrained from mentioning the
I Kremlin shakeup.

Joint Army-Navy
Arctic Supply Mission
Well Under Way
SAN FRANCISCO, (^—Prepar
ations are well under way for the
annual Army-Navy joint arctic
supply mission in support of the
Air Force, Brig. Gen. Charles
Tank said yesterday.
Tank said an Army task force
of over a thousand stevedore sol
diers is assembling on the West
Coast for the mission, and will
embark from Seattle next week.
Tank is commander of the
Army Transportation Terminal’s
Pacific Command. He discussed
the Army’s mission in a speech at
a Treasure Island luncheon.
U.S. Territories
Are ‘Colonies in
All Except Name’
WASHINGTON, Ufi—Rep. Moss
(D-Calif) today urged the prompt
admission of Hawaii and Alaska
as states to show the world the
United States believes what it
preaches about the evils of colo
nialism.
The Californian described the
two territories as “colonies in
everything except name” and said
they should have become states
long ago.
“Ever since the purchase of
Alaska from the Russians and the
annexation of Hawaii, the peo
ples of these two territories have
been the victims of wholesale re
strictions, discriminations and ex
clusions,” he said in a statement.
“They have been and are sec
ond class citizens, forced to suffer
virtually the same political indig
nities that in earlier days brought
about the revolt by the American
colonies against England.”
Moss said taxation without rep
resentation is “no less tyranny in
1957 than it was in the days of
the Boston Tea Party.”
“If we want the people of Eu
rope and Asia to believe in our
national honesty and have faith
in our protestations of concern
over the evils of colonialism in
other parts of the world, we must
indeed practice at home what we
preach abroad,” he concluded.
When slight success turns a
person’s head he is facing toward
failure.
Prime Minister
Of Pakistan Gets
Big U.S. Welcome
WASHINGTON, Prime Min
ister Suhrawardy of Pakistan to
day said that his country and the
United States are “pursuing the
same path of freedom” in efforts
to further world peace.
Suhrawardy, arriving here for
an official visit, was greeted at
National Airport by Vice Presi
dent Nixon, who assured him that
“our two countries are firm
friends and good allies.”
During Suhrawardy’s three days
of talks with President Eisenhow
er these ties of friendship will be
strengthened, Nixon said.
The Pakistan leader, an out
spoken foe of neutralism and of
Communism in Asia, was accord
ed a 19-gun salute and full mili
tary honors upon his arrival.
Eisenhower’s personal plane,
Columbine II, brought him here
from New York.
Suhrawardy said the 80 million
people of his country are grateful
to the U.S. for the assistance this
country has given to it for its se
curity and economic development.
