...report generally agrees that legal action cannot excuse all concerned from using their brains and consciences. So far as the law can act, however, Mark de Wolfe Howe, Harvard law professor (and a nondenominational Protestant) has some significant suggestions. He seems far less worried by the religious partisans than by the Jacobins. He notes that there are a number of possible "aids to religion which do not appreciably affect the religious or other constitutional rights of individuals." Under the First Amendment, he feels, even such aids should not be offered by the Federal Government. But he thinks that state governments...
Explorer IV sped into space with a double task firmly impressed on its electronic senses. It must report on the belt of radiation, probably particles from the sun, that was found by Explorer III about 600 miles above the earth's surface. And it must tell U.S. scientists more than they yet know about cosmic rays...
Little is known about the radiation belt. Explorer III, with a single Geiger counter, reported only that the radiation was strong enough to jam the counter's tube. The more sophisticated instruments of Explorer IV, two Geiger counters and two scintillation counters, are designed to measure the radiation accurately and tell what kind it is. They will report over two radio transmitters, a high-powered one on 108.03 megacycles, a low-powered one at 108 megacycles, both with chemical batteries. Explorer IV has no solar battery, no magnetic tape, no mouse...
...northerly orbit permits Explorer IV to report more fully on cosmic rays, which vary in intensity from the poles to the equator. But the satellite got less launching throw (205 m.p.h. less than Explorer III) from the west-to-east turning of the earth...
Almost unnoticed in the recovery from recession, the U.S. road-building program has been gathering momentum, giving the overall construction industry a sharp lift at a time when industrial building is still declining. Builders report that $195 million in contracts for interstate highways went out last month, almost double May's figure of $105 million. Total contract awards since July 1, 1956: more than $2.2 billion in interstate-highway-construction contracts for 4,938 miles of U.S. highways, plus another $4.7 billion for 65,821 miles of state and local roads. The prospects are that highway work should keep...
