All firing during the first three Days of Competition is being done with the m14 automatic Rifle. The various cosmic rays May peril space shot Washington Nana two distinct kinds of cosmic rays Shower interplanetary space fro the Sun. They have quite different effects on both machines and  was shown recently in a report on the possible results of such radiation on Man launched satellites issued by the office of naval research. First is radiation of the High Energy class. It can be detected at sea level and has been known for dec teachers set conference Heidelberg special Spe Cial education for the mentally retarded and physically handicapped children in the army s dependent schools will be discussed at the Spring conference of special Educa Tion teachers Here monday.

These rays consist of the elementary particles know Nas protons with energies of about 1 billion Electron volts. Second is the Low Energy class also mainly protons with Energy ranging Between 40 million and 500 million Electron volts. They Donot reach sea level except at extreme Northern and Southern latitudes near the poles. Their existence has been Dis covered Only recently with High Altitude balloons satellite and space probes. They May however constitute the greatest danger or nuisance in the future. The Navy report sums up what now is known about them. The Yare it says first detected in the Vicinity of the Earth approximately an hour after the appearance of a major flare on the Sun. Since the Earth s magnetic Field acts As a spectrometer they can come in undisturbed Only Over the poles except in periods of intense magnetic storms. Particles have been observed As Early As 30 minutes following flare. The intensity reaches a maximum Over the first hour or so and then decays with time. The protons Are believed to be accelerated Over the first few hours and then stored in some sort of magnetic bottle or plasma Cloud from which they slowly leak  these Low Energy protons it is pointed out May constitute a considerable Handicap for any extended space explorations just above the magnetic Field of the Earth and the so called  Allen belts of trapped protons. Winning team will be determine Don Friday by combining the scores fired during the first three Days of Competition. The first Day s firing was held under Clear to partly Clear skies with the temperature ranging be tween 23 and 40 degrees.

Greely Alaska went critical sustained a controlled Chain reaction last week. It is the third such army Plant to be put into  corps of engineers District Engineer at Anchorage Alaska said the medium sized nuclear Power generating Plant designated the sm-1a, the first in the 49thstate, achieved its initial self contained reaction at 5 38 . Est March 13. The Plant s capacity is 4.000 kilo Watts of Power 2,000 for heating base installations and 2,000 for generating electricity. The output will be sufficient for the needs of a town of about 2,000  the initial period of testing the Plant will be studied closely in the development of further peaceful uses of the automat Remote installations. Army engineers Are operating nuclear Power plants at it. Bel vol va., and at Camp Century Greenland on the Arctic ice Cap,800 Miles from the North pole. It Greely is in Alaska s subarctic area. Navy research project watches Moon for meteor explosions Washington special for10 Days each month while the new Moon is shaded from the Glare of the Sun by the Earth a powerful Navy Telescope controlled by a electronic Eye watches across 240, 000 Miles of space for the brie Flash of meteors striking the Moon s  study is being carried out by the office of naval researching an Effort to gain new knowledge of the dangers meteoroids hurtling through outer space will pre sent to Man when he travels across the void Between Earth and Moon. Some research into space dust has been made through telemetry information sent Back by Man made satellites launched from Earth. The new study encouraged by one of the world s leading astronomers will provide a new source of data. In addition scientists May Beable to determine the frequency size and Force with which meteor ites can be expected to Pelt manned Moon Colony in later years. According to research scientist Sidney Russak who is conducting the project Only two other systematic efforts have been made to study meteor flare activity on the Moon. These were in 1934 and in1940 and Only the human Eye was used for detection. The Eye Russak said is subject to fatigue and can be deceived after Long periods of watching. To improve results the Navy is using sensitive electronic equipment attached to the Telescope. Russak has served As project manager of a Navy study to interpret data on High Energy x rays sent through space by explosions on the surface of the Sun. Meteor flares have not Bee studied intensively in the past since most observations of the Moon were made of the sunlit face Side. But a meteor striking the lunar surface at High Speed makes an explosive burst of Light know Nas a meteor flare which can be seen on the dark Side of the  meteors Are burned up by friction when they hit the Earth atmosphere. Since the Moon has no atmosphere All the space debris hits the Moon surface at a Speed of about 54,000 Miles per hour. Months before visible.
