Highly sophisticated "multispectral analysis" under develop­ment at Space and Re-entry Systems Div. of Philco-Ford Corp. was en­abling scientists to extract additional information from photos taken by satellites. Assigning color ratings to gradations of gray in pictures and filtering out color levels as many as 18 times, to create series of trans­parencies in vivid hues, allowed details previously undetectable in gray to be distinguished. Technique could be applied to all black and white photos, enabling scientists to map ocean bottom, prospect for precious metal, and explore composition of sun without leaving darkroom. ''(UPI, NYT, 9/29/68, 28)'' In New York Times Magazine article. "The Universe Is Not Ours Alone," Walter Sullivan recounted discovery of pulsars, "strange .. radio pulsations coming from certain spots in the sky." Ten had been discovered to date. Radioastronomers leaned toward natural ex- planation' yet there were "tantalizing questions that remain unan- swered." It was possible "that evidence for the existence of superior civilizations lies hidden in the archives of magnetic tape at our radio astronomy observatories." ''(NYT Magazine, 9/29/68, 40-1 if)'' FAA released Kling Report outlining four plans for possible moderniza­tion of Washington National Airport. Four options, offered to extend National's short-haul role through 1970s, envisioned no major expan­sion except for 22-acre river fill. All proposed designs emphasized peo­ple-handling or terminal side of airport. Report was prepared by Vin­cent Kling and Associates, Philadelphia, with James Buckley, New York, and Jackson and Moreland, Boston, under $297,000 FAA contract awarded in May 1966.
