12 Kokomo (Ind.) Tribune Friday, Nov. 14, 1980 Voyager 1 speeds into the unknown Germany's Gabriella Brum, 18, wears her new crown (AP photo) Boyfriend not pleased that Gabriella won it LONDON (AP) Gabriella Brum, 18, of West Germany began her reign as Miss World today by fending off questions from reporters about her 52-year-old boyfriend, a film cameraman in Los Angeles, who she said was "not too pleased" about her victory. Britain's domestic news agency, the Press Association, quoted Miss Brum as saying after her win Thursday night that camerman Benno Bellenbaum was the man she had been "living with for the last six months" in California, where she has been working as a model. Her mother lives in West Berlin. During the traditional morning- after champagne breakfast with the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Ronald Gardner-Thorpe, Miss Brum said she called Bellenbaum to tell him of her victory, adding, "I think he did not expect it, just like I did not expect it." Miss Brum, blonde, blue-eyed and tallest in the contest at 5 feet 11 inches, won over 66 other contestants.

Promoters said she was the first Miss World chosen on the basis of characteristics other than beauty. Reacting to criticism that the 30-year-old contest was nothing but a "cattle market," the organizers this year said the contestants would be judged on personality and intelligence as well as looks, and the usual bust-waist-hips measurements were not given to the judges or the press. But Miss Brum told reporters she thought she won "more because of my beauty." Miss Guam, Kimberly Santos, 19, a travel consultant representing the U.S.-owned South Pacific island, was second, and 17-year old Miss France, student Patricia Barzyk, was third. Miss Israel, Anat Zimerman, finished fourth; Miss Britain, Kim Ashfield, was fifth; Miss United States, 17-year-old receptionist Brooke Alexander from Kailua, Hawaii, was sixth among the seven finalists, and New Zealander Vicki Lee Hemi was seventh. Just before the start of the contest, a group of feminist students confronted late arrivers outside the Royal Albert Hall.

"We are not trying to get at the contestants," one said. "We feel the men are using them and the whole contest is sexist." Crowned by outgoing queen Gina Swainson of Bermuda, the new Miss World got a cash prize of $12,050 and a $36,150 contract for 12 months of traveling commercial and promotion work. A capacity audience of 6,000 was in the hall, and the worldwide television audience was estimated at 400, million. There were no contestants from Soviet Bloc countries, but that may change next year. Because of the new emphasis on personality and intelligence, the Soviets are warming to the idea of sending an entrant, said Moscow journalist Vladimir Simonov of the influential Literary Gazette.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) After radioing a legacy of photographs and data that tells more about Saturn than earthlings had learned "in the entire span of human history," Voyager 1 today was already more than million miles beyond the ringed planet. The robot spacecraft has one last duty as it speeds into the unknown: to send radio signals as long as possible. Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory here will monitor them in hopes of finding the end of the solar wind a stream of electrically charged particles emitted by the sun. That point marks the end of the sun's influence, where the spaceship truly begins its endless voyage among the stars.

The week of photographs taken as Voyager reached the climax of its 38-month, 1.24 billion-mile journey by soaring near Saturn's moons, rings and swirling cloudtpps will mean years analysis and interpretation for scientists. "We have learned more about Saturn in the past week than in the entire span of human history," Bradford Smith, head of Voyager's camera team, said Thursday. "Saturn has always been special to me. It was always the mysterious one that was just a little bit too far out to really see. It's an object about which we knew almost nothing and now that we're finally seeing what's really out there, it's all unexpected," he said.

But for the moment, "It's almost impossible to concentrate on (one) picture for more than a few seconds without being distracted by the next," Smith said. Here are some of the revelations that Voyager 1 radioed to Earth: famous rings are far more numerous than previously thought, incredibly complex and, for the moment, quite inexplicable. They are filled with hundreds of concentric ringlets, at least two out- of-round ringlets and three others that appear braided "in some sort of strange fashion that we don't understand," Smith said. dark spokes or fingers reach across the brightest part of the rings. Voyager confirmed a dim and long-disputed D-ring stretching about 11,000 miles from Saturn's cloudtdps to the edge of the other five major rings.

A new ring, "very thin very inconspicuous" also was dicovered beyond the others, Smith new moons were discovered and close-ups of the planet's smaller moons show they consist of dirty ice. Some are pockmarked by meteoritic craters collected over the eons, but others are smoother and apparently younger. ovals and halos are driven by winds within the outwardly bland yellow, tan and brown bands of Saturn's churning surface of clouds. dense, reddish atmosphere of Titan, largest of Saturn's 15 known moons, may be filled with nitrogen, not methane, which had been considered its major component. Scientists speculate that great atmospheric pressure and temperatures some 300 degrees below zero would give Titan "nitrogen clouds and undernearth there could be puddles, pools, swamps or oceans (of liquid nitrogen) on the surface," said scientist Andy IngersolK And Titan "may hold clues as to how the atmosphere of Earth has evolved over the eons," said researcher Von R.

Eshleman. The atmospheres of Earth and Titan billions of years ago, may have had some of the same constituents.
