are taking a look at the problem of preventing space traffic Jams and getting rid of old man-made moons. Do you blow up useless satellites, shoot them into the sun, send them skylarking into the cosmos or. bring them back home? Right now just four satellites are circling the earth a huge Sputnik and three small U.S. moons. But one day there could be hundreds from numerous countries.

Collisions would be a remote chance, but the dead soldiers could be a nuisance, interfering with other and better experiments of space travel. Blowing up the old satellites them jaunting further Into space, off the beaten tracks. The question of how to recover or destroy satellites whose mission is complete is on the agenda of the Committee on Rockets and Satellites at the special meeting of the International Geophysical Year Committee under way here. The agenda also lists discussion of the radio frequency voices usable for future satellites to avoid a Tower 4 of Babel on the air waves; a possible international quota of satellites that should circulate at one time a central 'agency for satellites or spaceships to other planets; and questions concerning other bodies, such as the moon or the planets. The most immediate questions concern how to share most fully and efficiently the IGY information obtained by the satellites; Fair and Rodeo to Wind Up Saturday The action-packed rodeo of the Central Wyoming Fair he-tins its third nijtht at the Fair Grounds west of Casper with chuck wagon races starting at 7:30 p.m.

Frank Barrett today asked the Senate Appropriations Committee to restore a $5,768,000 cut made by the House earlier this week from appropriations for the Atomic Energy Commission's 1959 raw materials program.

The senator appeared before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee considering the 1959 supplemental appropriations bill which provides funds for the Atomic Energy Commission. The House cut from the supplemental appropriation bill includes $768,000 of funds for bonus payments to uranium mine operators who expect to be newly certified as eligible for such bonus payments during the fiscal year 1959 and $5 million from the AEC's 1959 uranium purchase program. The senator declared that "The purpose of the bonus payments was to encourage and assist in the development of new of do-' mestic uranium production," and added that "As a matter of good faith it would be unconscionable for Congress to suddenly cancel the bonus payment Barrett also told the committee that "It has been only in recent months that the ore purchase program has reached a point where the AEC can determine with any degree of accuracy what its requirements will be and what funds will be necessary to cover its cost." Because the AEC has underrun its purchase program in past years, the House cut $5 million from the commission's request.

Four states Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Nevada rejected a move to remove power provisions from the compact.

The other members of the organization are Utah, Washington and Oregon. Washington and Oregon, the dowTistream states, urged elimination of power provisions if the commission does not become a so-called action group. This step as an, action would give the commission authority to plan and build, power dams and market the electricity.
