To some Dayton wives it may seem to mean that their husbands often climb out of bed in the early morning hours to go look for a man-made moon. If you live with an alcoholic, you know the despair of trying to help him see himself as he is. You know the embarrassment of his act3 when he is "not himself." You know the humiliation of lying to your children, friends and his employer to cover up for him. I i (EDITOR'S NOTE: tht first of a series of drticht on alcoholism, tht families it affects, and how to eopo with its problems.) By JEAN SrRATN WILSON, Daily News Special Writer Almost every neighborhood, no matter how elite or unpretentious, has its alcoholic. He may be the eilent type.

You may be fortunate, but on the other hand you could be harrassed by creditors, even desperate in your attempts to salvage some of the drinking money for food.

You may have tried separation, even divorce, but you have hopefully been "taken in" by promises of reform. If you are married to an alcoholic, you probably have had all kinds of fresh starts, new jobs, new towns, and "the same old story." You may know fear for your children and for yourself. Even terror. You probably have run the gamut, of human emotidns, one minute torn apart at helplessly watching someone you love relentlessly destroying himself, the other moment guiltily wishing he were dead. Then these articles are for you.

You need to understand the alcoholic and the people whose lives he influences. For he touches your life, too. JH I DAYTON DAILY NEWS SECTION 2 SUNDAY, OCT. 12, 1958 2 'A their drunkenness and you can see how closely their fate ties in with yours. HIS ILLNESS, and the effects of it, cost you money to support jails, feed abandoned families, provide programs, to curb juvenile delinquency.

While no attempt is made to tabulate the number of divorces filed in Montgomery county which list drinking as one of the causes, domestic relations workers feel the percentage is high. Habitual drunkenness was specifically charged in a number of cases but excessive drinking is frequently concealed in 'gross neglect" charges. Last year the Dayton police department made 8273 arrests for drunkenness. Montgomery county has a high concentration of problem drinkers, mainly because it is a typical industrial community. Multiply these drinkers by the number of wives yes, and children, friends, employers and creditors affected in some manner by stream winds; chemical analysis of air; depth of the ocean; temperature and currents of ice flow; ocean floor studies; the rising of sea level, melting of glaciers; effects -of sun' flares with radio reception; and magnetism of the earth.

The purpose of the IGY satellites is to serve as vehicles for the sensitive meas-' urlnglnstruments used to help collect such scientific data. Information Is radioed back to earth and some is gained by observing the action of the satellites. The voluminous amount of data Is being made in triplicate and kept at three world data centers. The centers are the United States, Russia and Europe-Pacific. The data in the U.

S. is mainly on file at IF YOU ARE the wife of an alcoholic, you have had moments of feeling very, very sorry for yourself. You have felt utterly alone in a wide, wide world of trouble. Then these articles are for you, especially. For their purpose is to show you that you are far from alone.

There are friendships. There is even serenity. Some wives, even those whose husbands have failed to discover a way to sobriety, have found serenity. TOMORROW: Facing the facts. a INDEED, YOU may be very much involved.

You may be married to a man (or wife) a serious drinking problem. Although you may think you are alone, one out of 10 women have this cross to bear. 4 In even more families are other men (and women) who someday will fall over the invisible precipice of innocent social drinking into the abyss of alcoholism. TAUGHT BY AMERICANS 14 Year -Old Boy Has Big Goal International Chess Champion Nationalist Pilot Top Fighter bers of the "Moonwatch team here represent Dayton's official group participation in the world-wide IGY gathering of scientific data. It's the job of the "moon-watchers" to keep watch at telescopes and try to determine exactly where a satelflte was and when, as it passed overhead.

A radio time signal continuously broadcast Irom the National Bureau of Standards In Washington, D. helps the moonwatchers to deter-; mine at what Instant the satellite was seen. The man made moon's position In relationship to particular stars is noted et the time. Osigtoally the members of the Daytca Amateur Radio association planned to participate as a volunteer group by tracking th satellites by tuning in on the satellite radio signals. BUT TO DO IX by the method recommended by the IGY officials would have meant too much expense and too elaborate preparation, Robert Van Patten reported.

The association decided to let Lloyd Root track the man-made moons using his own system, Van Patten said. Root has had outstanding success in tracking the satellites using his own method. In fact, he has had so much success that IGY officials at Cambridge, Mass. and Washington, D. have almost hounded him sometimes for reports of his data.

Van Fatten said the scientific, reports that he has seen published on the satellites are "primitive compared to the work Root has done." Recently Russia's Sputnik HI was giving off a mysterious radio signal which puzzled IGY people at Cambridge. They called Root to see if he could help them. Root listened and offered a theory which has satisfied them, ROOT has a "hobby within a hobby," Van Patten reported. Thus, in addition to operating an amateur radio station, he has made a hobby of the study Of frequency measurement. He is one of the most active In this activity In "ham" radio, Van Patten said.

Much of his equipment he has built himself. He also makes use of "sophisticated" commercial equip-ment. By determining the differences In a satellite's radio algnal frequency as the satellite approaches and disap. spears Root can determine exactly when the satellite as overhead. He tapes simultaneously the satellite's slg-.

nal and the Iturean of Standard' time signal. Another Daytonian who has been contributing his individual efforts to the IGY year ii Stephen Moon, 17, a senior at Col. White high school. He's been counting meteors. Moon Ii the son of Mr.

He is also a member of the "moonwatch" group.

He's slouchy, gangly and crew-cut.

But Batman Is sprawled over an open chess book and his nail-bitten fingers are deftly moving chess pieces over the black and white board which means more td him than anything else in his life. Bobby Fischer doesn't want to be a baseball star or a football player or the most popular fellow at the prom. He wants to be chess champion of the world and It seems a pretty sure bet he will be. Most Americans don't know It, but their honor In a big International contest with Russia Is riding on the thin shoulders of this 13-year-old boy from Brooklyn. Bobby is hailed by the experts as the greatest chess mind the world has produced in many years.

"He doesn't look like one he looks more like a farmer's boy than an intellectual but he is a genius," says Hans Kmoch, secretary of the Manhattan Chess club, which Is the nerve center of chess in the United States. "Fischer is something unique. None of the great ones ever accomplished so much." 'U iJ Wr'tl fi 4 4. 9 A NATIONALIST CHINESE AIR BASE, Central Taiwan, Oct. 11 (AP)-The youngx Chinese pilot grinned and glanced at the American instructors lounging nearby.

"I think we can handle the Communists," he said In perfect English. "We would all like to get some more MIGs." He was Capt. Au Yang Yi-feng, one of the hottest pilots in the Republic of China's tough five-wing air force. Au, 29, a boyish-looking veteran of more than 100 missions against the Red Chinese, is best known hereabouts for his exploits in an aerial battle on July 21, 1955. That day his blazing guns sent two MIGs down In flames and damaged two others in a dog fight over the offshore Island of Miitsii, '1 have been in MIG fights 10 times now." he said, "and I don't think their pilots are trained too well.

Maybe their morale is bad, too." He talked freely against a bustling backdrop of this central Formosan base where a program is under way to build the first F-100 Super Saberjet wing in Nationalist China's air force. Six two-seat versions of the Super Sabre the F-100F and six American instructors were flown here last month from George Air Force base in California to begin training 10 Chinese flyers. These will in turn teach other Chinese pilots to fly the Super Sabres at speeds faster than sound. Au, one of the ID, waved his arm at one of the sweptulng Super Sabre flghfprs bearing the blue and white Nationalist emblem. "I have been looking it over on the ground," he said.

"It's beautiful. Duane (Lt. Duane Mill of Fort Collins, my instructor, let me race it down the runway Wednesday and I get to fly it myself tomorrow." Au has spent so much time with American flyers that he talks and acts like them. His American friends say he flies with skillful application of everything the American Air Force could teach him. In 1034 he spent 40 weeks in U.

"We were going for some Red gunboats." he Mid, making a swooping motion with his hands. "Then eight MIGs came out of the clouds and dived for us.

The exact date and place remain to be The winner will get a crack at the present world champion, Russia's Mikhail Botvinnik. So far, this hasn't meant much to most Americans who look on chess as an intricate pastime for contemplative graybeards. But now even people uninterested in chess are beginning to feel it would be a fine feather in Uncle Sam's cap to have Bobby whip Russia's best players in a game that commands great attention in Europe and South America.

Bobby himself who presents a porcupine exterior to the world doesn't show much interest In possible cold war implications of his career. He just wants to be champion. If he makes It this try, he'll be the youngest world champion In chess hNtory and only the second American ever to occupy thut lofty position.

Bobby, playing In his first international competition, -pulled out of his early difficulties and tied for fifth place winning his place In the star-studded challengers. The Russians keep winning the big tncs In chess, he said, because "everybody there plays.

"I like to play Chinese checkers, shoot a game of snooker, and I have been trying to teach these guys," he said, Jerkins a thumb at the American pilots, "how to play Chinese poker." He Is small, not over five-foot-seven, dark-haired, well musfled and, like many Chinese here, he fled the mainland in YSVS before Mao Tse-tung'i advancing Red armies.
