Alderman Mielke told Reinke he was out of order since there was a question before the house. Following the 8-0 vote in favor of receiving the communication and placing it on file, Alderman Thomas Coughlin read the council a statement clarifying his position on the question of teacher salary increases. "There has been quite a lot of controversial thinking in regards to the 2H per cent salary increase of the teachers he said, "and I would like to clarify my stand, with these The teachers in our public school system received a raise in September eft 1956.

He quoted the "spacemen" as saying "we'll have to be here a little while you may as well come inside." They appeared to be working on the wiring, the salesman said, and did not offer to explain any of the equipment. They spoke among themselves in GermanSchmidt said.

Call Appsan prominent Russian authority oa astrophysics And author of several basic works oa cosmic navigation, explains why In the following dispatch written for the United Press. It is one of the very rare occasions that Soviet scientists have written- exclusively for publication la the West. By PROF. ARI STERNFELD Written for United Press MOSCOW OP) We have be come witnesses of a remark' able hew event in the history of astronautics the birth of man made satellite No. 2.

This isnt simply a second Sputnik. This "bio-Sputnik" has aboard it a living being, the iirst live scout of unexplored cosmic space. Need More Investigation Coded signals from the ap paratus signal, "Dog behaves calmly." Evidently, living con ditions on Sputnik are quite satisfactory. This makes us con fident that with time we could send man into the cosmos. Bow long we will have to wait is another question.

To achieve this we must also have full confidence in the possibil ity of returning man to earth. But questions of braking at the high speeds that a rocket will hit its return trip require still additional investigations. The first Sputnik had a calm ing effect from the viewpoint of meteorological 'threats to astronauts. The second will probably prove to us that harmful ultraviolet solar radiation can be fully absorbed by Sputnik's shell without permitting it to affect living organisms. Could Reach Venns Because gravitation force der creases wlttrrealeriteishl.

a hugs economy of energy is- ob-t tained: Lifting to a given height will require one-seventeenth of the energy obtained by the us ual calculations when an un changing force of gravity is as sumed. Thus, natural laws themselves favor the development of astronautics. Because of this, a rocket may be launched from a man-made satellite, revolving around the earth at a distance, for example, of 200 kilometers (125 miles), with a speed of merely 3.14 kilometers (1.95 miles) per second, in order to fly around the moon, which revolves around the earth at a distance of 384,000 kilometers (240,000 miles). If the speed of the same rocket launched from a given Sputnik were increased to 3.51 kilometers (2.20 miles per second,) it would be entirely sufficient to reach Venus. With further insignificant increases in speed to 3.61 kilometers (2.25 miles per second, a rocket would be able to fly to Mars.

Hence, interplanetary flights may be carried out in the near future. Not So Cold -But Cloudy Partly cloudv and not so cold tonight.

For the Democrats, the reelection of Gov.

Robert B. Mey-ner in New Jersey projected a new glamor boy into the array of potential candidates for the 1960 presidential nomination. This was a real defeat for the administration, which had gone all out in support of Republican Malcolm S. Foibes. But in Virginia, the National Democratic Party could draw little more comfort than the GOP over the fact that the Democratic candidate for governor won more easily than in 1953.

The Democratic campaign (there was keyed to massive resistance to racial integration in schools and was a reminder that the Democratic family quarrel over the civil rights issue can only become intense. On that issue, J. Lindsay Almond Jr. in Virginia had nothing in common with Meyner or Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr, of New York City, who typify the northern position in support of a strong dvil rights program.

Wagner, son of the fate new deal senator, was reelected Tuesday when he overwhelmed" Republican Robert K. Christen-berry by a 3-to-l margin. He polled the largest plurality ever given a mayoral candidate in New York.

Frank Appraisal By Ike in Space Talk Thursday By MERRIMAN, SMITH United Press White House Writer WASHINGTON (IP) Presi dent Eisenhower appeared ready today to give the nation as frank an appraisal of U.

Officials disclosed that Eis enhower has had Defense De partment experts preparing tor him detailed data on American missile performance compared with that of Russia's new space-conquering rockets.

The President decided withi dramatic suddenness Tuesday night to speak to the nation from the House on the same day that the Russians celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution. That is the occasion on which the Soviets are expected to announce any new technological achievements as a fol-Iow-up to their two space satellites. It also is the time that they put on a massive display of their mihtary might. It also was possible hut there was no indication that it was probable that the President would disclose some striking new U. S.

The salesman said his car engine died when he approached the object, which stood on four posts. "I got out and walked closer about 25 or 30 feet from it," Schmidt said. "Two men came out and came toward me. One waved what looked like a flashlight which glowed for a sec- ond. I couldn't move.
