Milan rises from wartime destruction to a modern, neon flooded center with eight new skyscrapers near the central station. Plans for more rise as traffic and urban design shifts spark debates on avenues, tunnels, and the spread of pinball and jukebox machines among Milanese society.
Tallahassee reports Florida will spend three million dollars over two years to eradicate screwworm pests harming livestock and wildlife in the Southeast. The federal government will add 1.51 million dollars next year. The plan uses sterile male flies released from planes at 1,000 feet over 50 000 square miles in northern Florida, following success in Curacao.
A University of Chicago physicist reports that studies of a giant solar flare prove some cosmic rays originate from the sun and that magnetic fields exist between the planets. John A. Simpson says the Feb 23 1956 flare released energy equivalent to a billion hydrogen bombs in part as nuclear particles traveling near light speed.
San Francisco reporters highlight a shift in recreation as anglers and hunters outnumber golfers. The piece cites a federal study showing women account for millions in fishing and hunting participation, with projected 1957 spending on lodging gear and guides reaching billions. It notes licensing figures and state rankings for fishing license revenues and nonresident fishing activity, with Minnesota and Michigan among top states.
University of Chicago measurements at stations worldwide and during campus balloon flights indicate enormous interplanetary space fields behave like a leaky bucket. Simpson described the finding as a key insight into cosmic plasma dynamics and magnetic flux leakage.
A scientist states that minutes after a large flare the intensity of cosmic mic radiation outside the solar system is high. As the field empties the surge lessens and after many heats only a trickle of cosmic rays remains directed outward.
Simpson notes the university first recorded cosmic rays arriving from the sun and later detected rays that leaked from interplanetary space, marking a pivotal moment in solar physics and space science research at the institution.
Simpson notes the 1956 Cave eruption caused up to 10000 extra cosmic rays to originate from the sun, surpassing contributions from stars and interstellar gas. The finding highlights solar activity as a dominant source during the event.
