A delicate balance

Two on a teeter-totter may be fun, but one on a teeter-totter is more of a challenge. This little girl gives the mystery of the delicate balance her complete concentration while enjoying a warm Mary day.
Manhattan to continue research in Arctic
TULSA, Okla. (UPI)—The SS Manhattan leaves next month to retrace its historic path to the Arctic region aimed at gathering more information on possibilities of year-round tanker operations through the North-west Passage.

Soviets deny plan to send arms to Egypt
MOSCOW (UPI)—The diplomatic concensus in Moscow is that there is no immediate likelihood the Soviet Union will supply Egypt with its MIG 23, the latest and deadliest interceptor in the Soviet arsenal.
According to the Vice Premier the question is not even being considered.
It is also noteworthy that although the present campaign against Israel and its alleged American backers has reached unprecedented proportions there has been no mention of Soviet "volunteers" for Egypt to man planes and guns.
In London this week, diplomatic sources said Russia also had decided to delay shipment of massive new arms-exclusive of the MIG 23-to Egypt pending developments in Big Four efforts to find a solution to the crisis. In this connection it was considered noteworthy that President Nixon delayed his decision on whether to send F4 Phamtom Jets to Israel.

Some time ago, Nasser told American newsmen Egypt did not have skilled pilots, like those of Israel, to man such sophisticated aircraft as the complex MIG 23. For this reason alone, if for no other, Russia is believed unlikely to send the expensive jets to Egypt since they could easily be wrecked by untrained pilots or fall into Israeli hands.

Announcement of that trip coincidentally followed announcement by 17 oil companies to begin geophysical surveys of selected areas off the coast of Alaska.
Taking part in the surveys will be American Petrofina Exploration Co., Atlantic Richfield, Getty Oil, Gulf, Humble, King Resources, Mobil, Murphy Oil, Phillips, Skelly, Standard Oil of California, Sun Oil, Superior Oil, Texaco, Union Carbide Petroleum Cor., Union Oil of California and Union Texas Petroleum.
U.S. may join Forces with Soviets in space
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The head of the American space program said Sunday that U.S. and Soviet astronauts might be flying joint space missions once the Apollo moon program is completed. Dr. Thomas O. Paine, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), said such cooperation would be similar to multi-national scientific efforts in Anaretica. "I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Soviet scientists in an American space stations and an American scientist in a Soviet space station," he added.
Skelly's district office in Denver will direct the 1970 survey.
Operations are expected to get underway May 15 and continue through late August. One of the questions that must be answered to fully take advantage of the huge oil discoveries in Alaska is how to transport it.
"We could construct a pipeline," said Humble marine department manager R. C. Curtis. "But costs for both methods muts be considered."
Additional radar has been installed on the Manhattan but she is generally outfitted the same as for her maiden voyage into the forbidding northwest passage.
"We expect no record making precedents," said a Humble spokesman of the second voyage. "Our planned activities will be restricted to the daily measuring of ice and testing the ship's performance."
The spokesman said the ship had no plans to transit the passage again during this cruise.
The Canadian Ministry of Transport has said it wants to join the Manhattan during the series of Arctic ice tests.
Humble said the first voyage indicated it was "operationally" feasible for commercial ships to transit the Northwest Passage as well as learning "there is no human limitation to Northwest Passage operations."
The company still does not
know, however if such an operation is "economically" feasible. ible.
The voyage will cost about $1.7 million which will be shared by Humble, Atlantic Richfield and B.P. Oil Corp.
Asked if a trans-Canadian pipeline was still under consideration as a means of moving the
crude oil back to the Continental United States, spokesmen said they were "keeping an open mind."
"We have to consider every economically practical means of moving crude oil from the north slope and until we are satisfied that one method has clear advantages over the other; we have to keep an open mind."
Andes snow avalanche blocks auto race path
BUENOS AIRES (UPI) Snow avalanches triggered by an earthquake crashed down from peaks in the Andes mountains Sunday, blocking a road on which an international auto race was in progress and isolating several villages.
Argentine frontier police reported the leading car in the race missing and 14 other cars trapped or blocked by snow on the road, 15,600 feet above sea level in the Andes range between Argentina and Chile.
Radio reports from the Argentine frontier police post at Vieja and from the Chilean post at La Serena said there were no reports of injuries.
A heavy snow storm in the mountains hampered the drivers even before the avalanches, police reported. An earthquake
registering 5.3 on the Richter scale was reported early Sunday by the astronomical observatory in San Juan. That city was slightly shaken by the quake, and Argentine police said it apparently triggered the avalanches in the mountains above.
