London, Sept, 18. An historic step in the relationship between Britain and India was made tonight by an official an- nouncement of the appointment of the first British High Commissioner to India.
He

Broadcasts

The Moon Envisaged
Pittsburgh. Sept. 19.
The technical possibility of moon-to-earth broad- casts which would give mankind information now only conjectural about the moon, has been advanced by a scientist who was an observer at the second Atomic-bomb explosion test at Bikini Atoll.
Of course, he said. bread-1 The scientist casts from the moon first in- volve getting, to the moon, and for that Dr. J. Hutcheson is looking to the United States Army, which expects to build earth-to-moon rockets within 18 months.

Hutcheson, associated direc- tor of the Westinghour" research laboratories, said a radio trans- mitting set weighing less than 100 h. including batteries could be placed in the rocket. This hermetically-sealed transmitter, although small, would have the power to send signals 240,000 miles from the moon to the earth via ultrashort waves.
To conserve the batteries, Dr. Hutcheson planned broadcasts for only one minute out of each hour. A rocket ascending at 4,000 miles an hour would take about 60 hours to reach the moon. The batteries
would still have enough life to broad- cast for several days from the moon itself.

"Station M-0-0-N might also help us discover many facts which now are largely a mat- ter of conjecture," he said. "It generally is assumed there is no moisture on the moon. In struments on board the rocket could check on this fact and relay the answer to earth by radio."
Dr. Hutcheson also figured out how to land the rockats without smashing the delicate radio instruments.
The pro- ximity fuse, used in wartime to explode shells at just the right moment, ho. said, could do this by automatically turn- ing
rockets on reverse
and turning oft forward rocket power as the rockets approach the moon.Associated Press.

There was one in Britain and Ittle in the United States.
It was not surprising in view of this that when the United States advocated the control of the raw materials the other bations should be suspicious.
Only countries with a big in- dustrial background could carry out the segregation of Uranium 235 from Uranium 238. This was not always going to be the
