Webb, chief.. of - the National Aerc nautice and Space Adminis- tration, lie also confirmed what had been reported unofficially On four ether Occasions the So. viet Union had shot for Venus and failed. On Feb, 4, 1961, a Venus probe did get into a parking orbit around earth, but the final firing •stage of the rocket failed to send it on to the planet. Another failure, to Venus on Feb, 12, 1961, involved the breakdown of the spacecraft's communications af t- er it wtis 4.5 million miles out. The last two came during the t,ame week that the United States launched its successful Ivlariner II su'leeeraft, In both cases, the veh:oles were put into parking orbit. The broken pieces are still parked there. From the first, U.S. intelli- gence knew all the details of the "There must be something wrong. We just can't find any fault with each other." early failures. The U.S. decision to hold back its intelligence in- formation was made at the high- est political level—by both the Eisenhower and Kennedy ad- ministrations. The reasoning ap- parently went this way: The U.S. ELINT (electronic intelligence) listens in en Soviet countdowns, tracks climbing rockets by radar, and "cracks" alt objects in orbit with its worldwide tracking net- wott'.. But the Soviet Union should not be allowed to learn how well alt this is done, NASA, on the other hand, had conducted a long campaign against this reasoning. First, it argued that the basic U.S. moni- toring techniques are common knowledge. Secondly, and most insistently NASA argued that its o',vn "fallible" program of hits and misses suffered grievously by comparison with the public image of Soviet perfection. And following the flight of Nikolayev and Popovich, Air Force parti- sans had begun sniping at the Administration in general and at the civilian space effort in parti- cular. As much to quiet domestic cri- ticisms as to correct world opin- ion, the Administration lifted the security lid a little bit. And how did the Russians reaet to this revelation? "We have nothing to say." said a Foreign Ministry spokestr.att in Moscow, "And we rano' understand why anybody ite interested• in this matter." , Fr .v NEWVSWEEK silleaSaaleasaz BACKFIELD iN MOTION -- Although the above looks more like a football game l..an a baseball game It is the latter.

Defying Danger Under The Ice Killer whales were Jinn Thorne's biggest worry when he first dived through an ice -hole in McMurdo Sound, off Ross Island in the Antarctic, to photograph the effects of a new thermal de- vice for melting thick ice or pre- venting its formation, This American diving expert, with colleague Don Johnson, had to wear a rubberized suit clamp- ed at the wrists and neck and two sets of thermal underwear, then dive through a four -foot hole which broadened bell -like towards the bottom. The aqua -therm was on the end of a fifteen -foot metal pole lowered into the water and fixed to a tripod anchored on the sur- face, Down below it was pitch- black. Thorne felt cold Water seep in through his rubber gauntlets and Inc suit at the neck, which were evidently improperly seal- ed. Suddenly he felt something rub against him. His first thought was: killer whale! But, looking down, he saw that it was only a seal making playful passes at his dangling feet, Four tinges he came up for a new flash -bulb. After the fourth, his fingers could hardly set off the trigger mechanism, But by speeding up the trips to the sur- face he managed to make the necessary observations and finish the roll of film, He and Don, he says in "Occu- pation: Adventure" where the first men to make a working dive under the Antarctic and stay sub- merged for half an hour. Their tests, he claims, showed that the aqua -therm could stop ice forming round piers. Duck and cattle ponds, rivers, harbours could retain open water, and boats — especially small craft — be left safely all winter in water that normally freezes up. Locks could remain operative and even the St. Lawrence sea- way be kept open to world com- merce. Invented by an engineer, George Cross, who accompanied the expedition; it has a submer- sible motor of low horsepower, with specially designed propeller, which can be lowered below the ice and angled towards the sur- face on a compact unit. When switched on, the propel- ler drives to the surface the warmer water which always sinks to the bottom during the winter months, never mixing with the cold. None of the warmth is lost as it passes through the middle layers, so it melts the surface ice and provides open water — or keepe it open if the unit is installed be- forehand. Holes were drilled in the ice around the aqua -therm to mea- sure the rate of ice -erosion as the ice grew thinner, arid it was found that each of the 10 h.p.

This was an appreciable rate for practical purposes, and prov- ed that the device could do the job for which it was designed, One morning Thorne drove out to inspect, for diving conditions, a hole which the aqua -therm had opened up to a 65 -ft. chazmel. As he approached, he heard a loud whoosh as a killer whale loomed up from the water, spout- ed through his blowhole, then headed down again and vanished before Thorne could get his cine camera out of its ease. Frantically, he threw every- thing he could lay hands on into the water - blocks of wood, piec- es of seal meat. Then he grabbed one of half -a -dozen red flags on poles — indicating dangerous ice — plunged it into the water and waved it, yelling: "Come on up!" And suddenly the whale did, not more than ten feet from him. Even through the camera -viewer he could see the little pig eyes. The deadly -looking, high black dorsal fin flashed in front of him, then the whale dived and dis- appeared. He got his picture. Another day he and a colleague saw a school of penguins in the middle of the channel, leaping in and out of the water in a panic, with the killer in pursuit. Fast as penguins can swim, the whale overtook them and they disap- peared for good, "Luckily," Thorne says, "we had not been spotted by the whale, "Eye -witness accounts tell how they've tipped over large blocks of floating ice, and devoured whole the seals who had climbed there for safety. In the next hour I counted fourteen killer whales." Then the testing had to end because a large crack in the ire made the area unsafe they had enough information to prove the success of the operation. SCORCHER! On a seoreiting hot day oit the French Riviera recently an at- tractive girl was amazed when a young man dashed up to her — and snatched off her hat. It was a new hat and site promptly smacked his face. Teen she asked him for an explanation of his apparent rudeness. He pointed to her hat, It was cmotldering, The sun had acted through. a glass oonament in the hat as it would on a magnifying glass and set it alight. Abominable Snowman A MVIyth. Sir Edmund Hillary, the con- queror of Everest, and leader of an expensively equipped expedi- tion to discover the "Abominable Snowman," no longer has the slightest belief in the creature's existence. "As far as I'm concerned," he said In Montreal recently, "the Snowman is just a myth. In the area supposed to shelter him he exists only in the minds of the natives." Sir Edmund contends that he found a simple but logical ex- plantion for all reports of the Snowman's activities investigat- ed by his team., "We figured," he said, "that the tracks were just tracks made by shall animals enlarged by the sun melting the snow around the" Sirm,Edmund also doubts whetb- er the Chinese really climbed Everest, According to their claims, their mountaineers reach- ed the summit at 2 a.m., when it 'was impossible to take pictures. And instead of planting a flag there, they left a bust of Mao Tse -Tung. More proof is needed, in Sir Edmund's view, before the Chin- ese claim can be accepted, New Zealand's greatest climber loath- es bunkum and brings a hearty, down-to-earth attitude to bear on all his problems. As a friend of his says: "Ed doesn't care a damn for legends or stories, unless they measure up to hard truth." How Can 1? By Roberta Lee Q.
