The Rev. Dr. O. Frederick Nolde, Director of Commission of the Churches on International Affairs, said in report to World Council of Churches' Central Committee that a joint U.S. U.S.S.R. lunar exploration program would "avoid the menace of military use" of Space by either country. Dr. Nolde's proposal was part of an analysis of nuclear test-ban treaty which he said would provide a "new and more promising atmosphere" for peace. (Price, N.Y. Herald Trib., 8/2863)
Thermonuclear researchers at LRC reported on devices able to measure temperatures in excess of 400,000 degrees. In recent tests, Lewis apparatus recorded an electron temperature of 20 volts, or about 420,000° F, in an experimental helium plasma. (LRC Release 6371, Lewis Chronology, 8)
