Kekkonen returned saying he had not realized how bad Finno-Russian relations had become. "I am sure that all reasonable Finns will join me in saying that we cannot have spells of cold. Finland must naturally take into account that vital interests require our neighbor to trust us." Apparently Khrushchev had applied pressure against the free Finnish press, and despite Finnish constitutional guarantee of press freedom, Kekkonen said. "Without restraint and responsibility on the part of the press, our relations will never achieve that degree of confidence our interest deserves...

The Observatory, with its special stations in Texas, New Mexico and Colorado, is the greatest single producer of solar data, vital to IGY research in solar-terrestrial phenomena, such as aurorae and magnetic and radio-transmitting effects. In addition, University and Smithsonian personnel made significant contributions to the IGY in the fields of oceanography (the Geology Department and graduate students), meteor work (the Astronomy Department and Smithsonian), and upper atmosphere studies (mainly...
