Charles S. Dubin, 39, highly paid director of NBC-TV's Twenty-One quiz show and a summer replacement, The Investigator, denied current membership in the Communist Party, but refused to say whether he was a member before May 8, the day the committee first questioned him in a closed-door session. NBC promptly dumped Director Dubin as "unacceptable...
James D. Proctor, 50, pressagent for Broadway Producer Kermit (The Music Man) Bloomgarden, drew an even finer line than Dubin's. He said he was not a Communist Party member that day, but he dodged behind the Fifth Amendment when asked whether he had been a member two days earlier...
Space near the earth is not as beset with micrometeorites as some space pessimists have feared. During last week's Washington meeting of the American Physical Society, Drs. Edward Manring and Maurice Dubin of the Air Force Cambridge Research Center told about the experiences of the Army's satellite Explorer I, which carries two meteorite detectors. One of them, a microphone that picks up the slight vibrations in the satellite's shell that are caused by the smallest dust particles, registered only seven hits during the 120 minutes that the transmitter could be heard. The other detector...
Escape Velocity. When the Aerobee's nose exploded 55 miles up, the focused force of the shaped charges made three jets of aluminum pellets shoot into the near-vacuum like shot from three shotguns. The Air Force announcement is none too clear about what happened, but Maurice Dubin, physicist in charge of the project, thinks that some of the pellets reached the speed of 40,000 m.p.h. A photograph taken of the explosion showed meteorlike trails whose speed could be measured by a fast-moving shutter on the camera...
Since the particles started their flights at an altitude where there is still a little air, they were probably slowed down considerably by it. But Dubin thinks that some of them may have reached outer space while still moving about 30,000 m.p.h. This exceeds the escape velocity (25,000 m.p.h.) that is necessary to carry an object beyond the pull of the earth's gravitation. Any particles that did escape moved into the sun's gravitational jurisdiction. They will either 1) be swallowed by the sun, or 2) move around it on elliptical, cometlike orbits...
