Abominable Snowman A Myth Sir Edmund 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," lie 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.- plantlon 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 small animals enlarged by the sun melting the snow around them," Sir Edmund also doubts wheth- er the Chinese really climbed Everest, According to their claims, their mountaineers reach, ed the summit at 2 a,m,, when it was -ImiSossible .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 I? By Roberta Lee Q. How can I go about clean- ing my all - fiberglass luggage, which is of the type that has no additional covering? A. This type of luggage is cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth. Any scratches can be smoothed out by the careful use of some fine steel wool. Q. How can I freshen rancid butter? A. This can often be done by breaking the butter up and put- ting it into some fresh milk. Allow it to absorb the milk, drain thoroughly, then wash in cold salted water and work it again into the desired form. Q. Bow can I remove an espe- cially stubborn "press-on" knob from the radio or TV? A. Loop a twisted scrap of strong soft cloth behind the knob, gripping the loose ends firmly in your fingers. Press against the cabinet front with your thumb tips, at the same time pulling firmly on the cloth. The knob should work free without damage to cabinet or knob, Q. How can I remove finger- nail polish stains from fabrics? A. These, stains can be remov- ed from all fabrics (except ace- tate rayon, plexon, and vinyon) with acetone or fingernail pol- ish remover. Pure amyl acetate (banana oil) can safely be used on rayon and vinyon. Saturate -the spot .first with carbon tetra- chloride, then apply a drop or two of amyl acetate to the stain. Brush lightly upward with a ' soft cloth to, pick up the dissolved polish. ISSUE 39 — 1962 AGENTS • "0,"+••••*•., DAIRY EQUIPMENT FOR Salet Craft bulk milk cooler, 22, can slze,_ 3 years old, Ross W.

Moscow's "heavenly twins" have orbited the earth in companion spacecraft, the word "rendezvous" is going to have to be more carefully defined. At their press conference in Moscow the two cosmonauts said they had come within some three miles of each other in space, but that there had been no plan to join or couple the two spacecraft. Washington officials, prior to that announcement, had gener- ally estimated the two cosmo- nauts had ,not been closer to each other in space than 100 miles, though some insisted a docking, or locking, operation had been intended but failed. Up to now.ithe word "rendez- vous" has covered any dual space operation, from bringing satelli- tes or spaceships in close proxi- mity to actually joining them or locking them so that fuel, passen- gers, or supplies could be trans- ferred from one to another. From here out it would seem that the word, "rendezvous" would have to be used to de- scribe a meeting in space of two satellites or spacecraft, and the term "docking," or "locking," or "joining" applied only to an ac- tual uniting of the two space- ships, Otherwise there will be a constant confusion from now on as to just what happened in double space shots. Obviously spaceships would have to rendezvous before they could dock, but they would not, of course, have to dock after rendezvousing in space. Also both "rendezvous" and "docking" would hardly be the appropriate words to use for an actual or near hit of an anti- missile missile and missile or even spacecraft. But what of the possible need to silence a scientific satellite whose radio timer, say, failed to turn it off? One could explode a package of shrapnel in its path, silencing and possibly destroying the satellite. That operation might be called a rendezvous, but most certainly a very special kind, This proposal for a more exact definition of rendezvous would read out of its meaning a coupl- ing or linking of spaceships, As the technique of docking or linking of spacecraft progresses it will involve more and 'more varied operations, First there will be the transfer of fuel, of supplies, then of pas- sengers. From that it will go on to the assembly of major com- ponents into a larger space struc- ule It will include repairing tspa'c'ecraft in space, the possible rescuing of space crews in case of an abort, of relieving and rotating space crews on large space stations, writes Neal Stan- ford in the Christian Science Monitor, There are some interesting sidelights to rendezvous, For example, if fuel is being trans- ferred, it must be remembered it Will not flow from one ship to another by ordinary gravity as is done with refueling air- craft. There is no gravity, A special pump will have to be used, with power to force the transfer. Also it may not be wise to let spacemen move about outside their spacecraft in space suits, clambering around the outside of their ships with magnetic shoes, sparfoegosliionnes, and gas bottles for Pressure stilts may prove to be too rigid and the range of temperatures on each side of the suit may prove too difficult to Cope with, 1Vticro-rneteoroicls also May be a problem for a suited Man, whereas they would have rio effect on a spaceship. It could well be that space- men, doing space station assem- bly work, will have to work in small, one-Man space tugs oper- ating from the mother ship.

The last two came during the. same week that the United States launched its successful Mariner Il spacecraft. In both cases, the. vehicles 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 on Soviet countdowns, tracks climbing rockets by radar, and "clocks" all objects in orbit with its worldwide tracking net- work, But the Soviet Union should not be allowed to learn how well all this is done. NASA, on the other hand, had conducted a long campaign against this reasoning, First, it argued that the basic U.S. monii. toring techniques are common knowledge. Secondly, and most insistently NASA argued that its own "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 react to this revelation? "We have nothing to say," said a Foreign Ministry spokesman in Moscow. "And we cannot understand why anybody is interested in. this matter."

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. channel. 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 tine camera out of its case. 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 tinned 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 hi• the ice made the area unsafe they had enough information to Prove the' success of the operation, Se OROlitit On a scorching 'hot day on the French Riviera :recently an at,, tractive girl was amazed when a yOting Man dashed up to her and atiatelied Off her hat.

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 his 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 times 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 keeps 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, and it was found that each of the 10 h.p. • 'OLD :BLACK The beat and the rhythm of a secret society 'devil" dancer is re- Corded,. while' the old-time dealer in evil spirits teems interested in modern man's, biotic Dance took 'placer' in the district of Malemai located in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
