Malenkov 1 s job at home - being one concerned, largely, with atomic affairs. He was received at the London airport with all proper protocol - and rigid security precautions. So strict - even the London D ily ' orker complained. But the astonishing feature - was a loud speaker truck. Which greeted M lenkov at the airport - with a blaring note of advice. Telling him - he'd better quit Communism, and seek political asylum, as a refugee in B ritain. The tn sound truck was put on the job by anti- Communist refugee s in London. Nothing illegal about it - and the p olice idn't interfere. So the loud-loud speaker serenaded Malenkov - all the way from the airport outside London to the Soviet Embassy, in th e middle of the town.

Later, at luncheon with rttish officials, he astonished Lord Citrine, British authority on public power. Melenkov - breaking into a recital of the poetry of Robert Burns. He doesn't know any English - and gave the Scottish dialect poems in Russian. They say it was something to hear. Malenkov cutting loose with - nA man's a man for a I that." like! ) Remember?

Whi hi ti t c nves ga ed the identity - of a strange object in the sky. Suspected of being - an artificial satellite. M a ybe - a man-made moon launched by Soviet Russia. It was first observed, at Burlington, North Carolina, by George Newcomer, a scientist who worked on the Nike guided missile. -..rJ1so a volunteer "sky watcher" tor the Air Force,, ~ . , noted a strange object in the southern sky, Just above the horizon. It looked like a star - but the charts of the sky showed no such star in that area, this time of the year. This object was observed, ' night after night - by Newcomer and others. From March Fourth, on through March Ninth - five days. And that tttnt• eliminated the notion - of an artificial satellite. No man-made moon would remain in that same locality - for so long a time. The explanation canes from astronomers at the Morehead Planetarium, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. They find - STAR - 2 it was a star; ,,,,. Which - is rarely visible in the Northern Hemisphere. Hence - not on the sky charts. The star Canopus,m- one of the most brilliant - in the Southern Hemisphere)-ilometimes visible in the latitade of North Carolina - during a few days in March. When weather conditions are - exactly right. So the suspected artificial satellite now tllI'nS out to be - Canopus. Which you'll see shining so brightly, if you're traveling south of the equator. MOON The space travel enthusiasts are certain - that somebody wil l make a trip to the moon, sooner or later. But, befor e th a t happens - we may bring a chunk of the moon down to this earth . So says Dr. Fritz Zwickey, .Astr.ophysicist at the California Institute of Technology. Who explains: "Imagine what it would mean to a scientist - to examine a fragment of the moonf" Well, for one thing, a scientist could tell immediately - whether the fragment was made of green cheese. But, 1laJ anyway, Dr. Zw1ckey tells how it could be done. By firing - a two stage rocket, which would hit the moon. In the nose of the rocket - an explosive charge. ~ock loose . So that the blast - woul;t s, D Z8,,(chunks of the moon, at such velocity that they would fly - off into the field or '°" ~ ~ - g ravitation of this earth. Falling - down on to our own planet. Which c ertainly would be · a scientific miracle - the arrival of a chunk of the moon. Of course, it might fall on somebody's head. But, you can be sure, it wouldn't be the head of a scientist.

Baker, signed her name - upside down. It seems that she paints, not on an easel, but on a table. So, w hen she signed "High Frequency Ping", she walked around to the other side of the tabl e , and w rote her name.
