As for the council itself, where conservative and progressive prelates are expected to clash major topics like religious liberty and modern world problems, the Pope said: "We have not touched (in the speech) on any of the themes which will be submitted to the examination of this assembly. "Our silence has deliberate. It is to be interpreted as a sign of our unwillingness to compromise, by any words of curs, your freedom of opinion with regard to the matters to be presented to you." Special Bishop Unit The Pope also announced the establishment of a special synod of bishops which he will convene for consultation and collaboration when he sees fit.

Pope Paul said the episcopal synod would be composed largely of bishops from the various episcopal, conferences around The pontiff said the special synod, or senate of worldwide bishops, would be of use in the day-to-day work of the Roman Curia."

With Cosmic Dust Mother Earth Is Putting on Weight ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) A voice from the ocean bottom gossips that Mother Earth is gaining weight at a pretty good clip about 13 tons every hour. The new weight comes from cosmic dust raining down all around the earth. It is composed of particles of matter some of them microscopic from burned-up meteorites or shooting stars and from comets. The earth, wheeling through space, constantly runs into meteorites.

So do man-made satellites circling the earty. Space, in fact, is fairly dirty this way. A new way of estimating how much cosmic dust falls to earth was reported today the American Chemical Society by John L. Barker a research assistant at the Enrico Fermi Institute for Nuclear Studies of the University of Chicago. He did it by measuring tiny traces of two little-known chemican elements iridium and osmium found in sediments at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

These elements are part of the cosmic dust. Barker made them "speak in a way, by bombarding samples of ocean-bottom sediments with neutrons. A small but known fraction of the atoms of iridium and osmium was thereby made radioactive, giving away their presence. Special techniques made It possible to calculate the original concentration of these elements, down to levels of less than one part in 10 billion parts of the Reserve Merger Is Given Prod SEA ISLAND, Ga.

The plan to merge many organized Reserve units into the National Guard has been delayed and may be blocked by congressional action. sediment, and to calculate how much cosmic dust rains down annually, he explained. The figure comes to 100,00 tons a year, he said, or about 13 an hour.
