But the earthquake Issue is the big one in scientific circles it was raised by a Blue ribbon panel of scientists formed to report to the presidents science adviser on the potential hazards of underground nuclear tests. The panel headed by . Kenneth s. Pitzer president of Stanford University studied data compiled primarily by the age from previous tests talked to dec scientists then utilizing the expertise of its own members wrote a the panel is seriously concerned with the problem of earthquakes resulting from Large yield nuclear tests new and significant evidence demonstrates that Small earthquakes do actually occur both immediately after a Large yield test explosion and in the follow ing weeks. A the largest of the observed associated aftershocks have been Between one and two magnitudes less than the explosion itself. However there toes not now appear to be a basis for eliminating the possibility that a Large test explosion might induce either immediately after a period erf time a severe earthquake of sufficiently Large magnitude to cause serious those at the regular Nevada test site since the More northerly portions of Nevada Are rip re pkg Tive seismically. Since the Amchitka area in Alaska is still More Active seismically the Hazard of inducing an earthquake must be considered to be greater at that location than at either Nevada the report disappeared into the White House.

Astronomers Fin new evidence _ for a big bang idea of universe by Frank Carey a science writer Washington a Navy astronomers reported today Dis covery of new evidence supporting the Quot big bang Quot theory that the universe was created bit Lions of years ago by the explosion of a fireball the evidence consists of x rays believed to come from an invisible Galaxy some 76 million trillion Miles from toe planet Earth the team of a amp by scientists said. The pattern and relatively Low level intensity of the x rays substantiate big bang theorists beliefs that space radiation has an extremely cold temperature. The temperature would have to be a cold Quot to confirm the big bang theory. Earlier measurements Kaen in the Milky Way Galaxy by Infra red techniques have indicated space radiation is warm the a big bang Quot theory has Long been the More heavily of voted of the two major concepts to explain the birth of the universe. It Bolds that some 10 billion years ago All the matter for a potential universe was contained in a primordial fireball a a massive single a atom a having a temperature of 10 Bil 1 staff photo by Litchfield the universe is born lion degrees this super fireball lasted Only a second then exploded with a Quot big bang a to eventually form All the stars galaxies and plants the theory also holds that radiation from the initial blast still pervades the universe us that at least some of the radio Waves detectable on Earth by radio telescopes represent in effect the very whispers echoes of creation itself. The rival theory to the Quot big bang Quot is the so called Quot steady state Quot concept also known As Quot the theory of continuous it contends the universe has always been in a steady state but that matter is continuously being fed into it possibly just one atom at a time and that this is what makes the universe expand rather than any primeval fireworks. The new evidence was obtained by an a Ray Telescope carried 102 Miles High by Anaerobes rocket launched from White Sands n.m., missile Range in april 1968 the Telescope in an up and cd own flight lasting Only a few minutes zeroed in on an optically invisible radio Galaxy called Quot centaurus a Quot the nearest of the powerful radio emitting galaxies the Navy said the evidence dispels doubt recently cast on the Quot big bang Quot theory of the universes Crea Tion the scientist said. The x rays Are a truly a measurement of the space radiation As it exists out in the cold environment of outer space whereas the Infra red observations constitute just a measurement of the background radiation within our own Galaxy a the scientists said. Herbert Friedman . T. A Chubb and researcher Edward t. Byram All of the naval research Laboratory described their findings in a re Pkt to the technical journal science and in an interview. Previous the scientists reported All the evidence ran contrary to the idea the universe is pervaded by a somewhat warmer form of radiation called Infra red whose temperature would be inconsistent with a big bang origin
