...days later, the Democrats were whooping again. By then, they had moved to New York City, a Democratic town. It was Harry Truman's 70th birthday. By way of celebration (and, incidentally, to benefit the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Mo.) a cut-rate $70-a-plate dinner was held in the sprawling Waldorf-Astoria ballroom...
...Last week a group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, headed by Professor Bruno Rossi, reported that a strange intruder from space had entered one of its cosmic-ray cloud chambers. When it first showed up, it behaved like a rather slow-moving heavy particle. Then it hit a brass plate in the apparatus and set off three powerful electron "cascades" that appeared to have been started by high-energy gamma rays...
Professor Rossi believes that the original particle may have been an antiproton that hit a normal proton in the brass plate and annihilated it. Apparently the encounter produced nothing but energy, and it produced too much (about 1.3 billion electron-volts) to be accounted for by any other process...
...could have come from. One colorful theory holds that somewhere in the universe there may be stars or whole galaxies made of reversed matter. From them escape antiprotons that wander through space, perhaps for billions of years, until they hit normal protons (as in Professor Rossi's brass plate) and are annihilated...
...changes in the Crimson lineup are expected this afternoon. McDonald should start behind the plate, Anderson at first, Bill Cleary at second, Art Noyes at short, and Ray Maesaka or Jim Rahal at third. Veteran Ed Krinsky opened at shortstop Saturday, but his still-weak leg forced him to retire in favor of Noyes. Rahal played third at New Haven. It is doubtful whether Krinsky's knee will allow him to play much today either...
