Secrets of outer space will
be probed this autumn with a
wonderful new $300,000 radio-
telescope — the largest in the
world — which has been' erect-
ed on a remote hillside in New
England.
,,This radio "ear" has a sixty-
foot antenna, a huge precision
made aluminum bowl weighing
8,000 lbs., centred on a conical
pier set in a concrete founda-
tion twelve feet deep.
The telescope is designed for
listening to the faint ,crackling
of radio signals sent back ..by
the cosmic gases of outer space.
By studying these signals, the
astronomers will be able to
trace features of the universe
that are hidden from ordinary
telescopes which work with
visible light.
The new telescope is control-
led by motors that car turn and
tilt it to face any part of the
sky and that can drive it to
keep pace with the stars. AS-
tronomers are already calling
it "a new window on the uni-
verse."
They believe it will enable
them to study hitherto un-
known heavenly bodies and fix
their position with certainty in
the sky and also to measure
their radiations — those invis-
ible waves which reach our '
earth from, the Milky Way and
other great galaxies of stars.
Nothing more fantastic than
this new instrument has ever
been conceived by astronomers,
for it will enable them to hear
sounds which occurred millions.
of years ago.

Mystery has for a generatibri
StirrOtObleti the sudden death
of Stalin's wife, Nedezhda
(Nadya)-
Now, Mine, Elizabeth
who spent ei elit terrible years
in concentration camps in Reie-
ele, comes forth with the ,sea-
eational disclosure that elm was
stilled in a jerslone row with
Stalin over one of his Mistresses.
She heard the story from Nw
tedie Trushine, a fellow peleeMee
and formerly eriend and com-
panion of Nedya.
Nadya, says Mme, Lermolo
"Face Of A Victim", had long
been out of favor with Stalin,
supplanted by 'the beautiful
Rosa, sister of Lazar Ktiganos
vich, member of the Politburo.
On the OCeaSi011 0 the, fifteenth
anniversary of t h e October
Revolution„ Nadye s and Stalin
attended , a ebig party in the
Natalia stayed at *me,
with the children.
About one o'clock, Nadya re-
tVened alone, rushed to her
room and sat on the bed, staring
blankly into space.. "It's the
end," she told. Natalia. "I've
reached the-limit.. .Cr-WI now I've
been a sort of wife to. him, but
not ,any more, I'm nothing. The
only prospect is death. j, shall be
poisoned or killed in some pre-
arranged 'acicdent'. What eat)
I do?"
She became hysterical, Natalia
tried to calm, her, saying Stalin
would tire of his present at-
traction as. he , had of others,
then took her into the bathroom,
Starting to tinciress, she fainted.
Alarmed, Natalia telephoned,
asking, that Staliii return borne
at once.
When be arrived a few min-
utes later Natalia heard Nadya
accuse him of carrying on
shamelessly with "that woman",
of hurting and humiliating her.
Stalin retorted by saying that
she had lost her revolutiormey
ardour, become a conventional
housewife. "You are no .longer
the companion needed by a lead-
er of the world revolution!"
The row -went on and on. In-
furiated by his jibes, Nadya said:
"Rosa, I suppose, revives you!
I know the kind of leadee you
are. More than anyone else, I
know the kind of revolutionist
you are!" She accused him of
usurping the leadership. dishon-
estly, involving her in, his' shady
schemes. She, was ashamed to
look her comrades in the eye
because of his blood purges and
lquidations. e
"Shut up, damn you!" Stalin
roared at, last..
.e Then Natalia heard a blow, a
fall, someone gasping. She push»
ed open the door. On the"floor
Was Stalin, savagely choking
Nadya with both hands, saying,
"You would, would you?" Na-
talia screamed. Stalin broke
away and tore out of the bath-
room.
Nadya lay on the floor, not
breathing, at her temple a large
Wound. There .was blood; and,
near her on the floor' a blood-
stained revolver.
Natalie carried her into the
bedroom, bandaged her wound,
but could hear .no, hcar,tbeat, A.
Kremlin colleague, Poskreby-
shev, forbade her to summon a
doctor..
Towards morning, Yenukidze,
one of Stalin's friends, came and
asked her for an account of
„What nappened, then said, "You, ,
it seems, were the only witness
to the tragedy. It is necessary,
..Natalia, that no one should
knew. about this."
Later; he suggested that 'she
go away fet. a few days' rest.
She was taken by car and train
under constant guard, to Suzdal
and never saw the Kremlin
again/ There she remained, year
after year, ignored—a prisoner.
The whole affair was hushed
tip; Yenulsidze, who knew too
much, was subsequently arrest-
ed on a political.charge and shot.
