The British say that much ot the 11111.tary equipment was still in crates when it was captured - standing just as when it arrived from Russia - or tr0111 the satellites. Recent ritis h ) olicy concernin the iddle E a st ha s been much af ected by growing Communist influence in Syria. Today's word from London is that the Kremlin h a s been moving into Syria to an alarmin g extent. Syria getting more than a hundred million dollars worth of 'oviet arms - utting her deeply in debt to Russia. Plus an invasion of Soviet technicians. fro ■ London we also hear that Syria has had warnings from Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan - warnings that she may become a Soviet satellite - if she continue• to allow the Russians to move in. How Syria reacts to the warnings of her neighbors is something the British are watching with some aaxiet7.

The former head of Nato says that the Strain between Russia . nd her satellites - is far g reater than bet•een the We t e rn a llies. T is from General Gruenther, in Washington, as he r etired from active service_ now to take over as head of the Red Cross. General Gruenther pointed out that democratic nations always have differences of opinion - because each has a right to decide for itself. Therefore any tension etween America - and Britain and France is not as serious as it might seem. Jowever he says the difficulties that Russia face• are even greater than we of the west realize. That while the captive nations are held down and silenced - their hatred of Russia connot be destroyed. So the outlook is in favor of the west right now - with the allies having a much better chance of restorin g t h eir alliance - t h an the Kremlin has of controlling its satellites.

Returning to his native land, he became Dean of the Science Faculty at Allgargh University, near Delhi. India, not wantin g to be left behind in cosmic ray research, asked him to investigate Himalayain possibilities. ~ Jtot only d i d ~ this,~ he even lured scientist Compton to India, and in April of 1954, Dr. Compton made a report in which he said that the Gulmarg cosmic ray u center ta -d-< @1tou promise~o:f 11,,,, ne of the best h1 gh ai altitude researcl KASHMIR - DR .

I' Here is another reason why this Kashmir mountain peak i'ff;. ~ t a c e for n cosmic ray research. Scientists et better results if they can compare observations at one point with observations elsewhere, especially if both observatories are in the same longitude, with one of the two on the taxt E uator, where the maximum effects of the earth's ma neti f el · --t as re .el . e ma neti c fiel our Air Force -' ~t ex edi ion I tu in o n ~ :: o 111ety.. thousand mile fl i '1 t. r. 111' Himal an mo nt in to is 1 eal for comparin observations wi ha research station im on the island of Ceylon ~. e h ve nothi omparable in the western hemis~here, i1a because observ tories in South America and North A merica are not in the same longitude. Said Dr. Compton: "The chief factor in the u successful operation of a cosmic ray observatory is the iia1 director. And it is dif !cult to find the right combination of scientific competence, originality of ideas, persistent drive, executive responsibility and personal tact." Then he added, that India is singularly fortunate in having T Dr. Gill who possesses al/or these. One of the most interesting k'°' men I have ever met.

Dr. Compton, when he cmne, in the laboratory guest book quoted the following from Aristotle.
