The Air Force announced today its scientists have achieved the first step in unlocking a vast new power potential by reaching into the sky Jo release energy chemically stored by the sun in the upper atmosphere. The top-secret air research and development command (ARDC) here said the achievement was a "major breakthrough" and came when a rocket was sent 60 miles above the earth from Holloman Air Development Center in New Mexico to release nitric oxide gas under high pressure.

This indicated by several billion times the natural amount of nitric oxide in the atmosphere, the ARDC said, creating a flood of light. The light was "chemically stored sunlight" in huge quantities. The experiments, the ARDC said, may eventually lead to means of extracting this energy for such uses as the propulsion of rocket ships high in the earth's atmosphere. Llkn New Star The ARDC said that when the nitric oxide was released. observers said the resulting flood of light appeared to be the formation of a bright new star.

The light spread, and in less than 10 minutes the "star" had grown in size so a it seemed from the earth about four times the diameter of the moon. The ARDC said that spot of BOYS HOXOR PASTOR: Members of St. Augustine's Boys Brigade honored their pastor, the Rev. Msgr. Thomas P.

In Minnesota MINNEAPOLIS, March 18 Wt- The Democratic race in Minne sota's presidential primary tightened today and Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn) said he will consider it a victory if he gets 30 per cent of the votes Tuesday.

But, he told a news conference shortly before flying back to Washington for "crucial" farm bill votes, of course, I am going to do much better than that against Adlai E. Stevenson."

Even in the Twin Cities, he said, the marEin is narrowing.

Regardless of what happens In a 5 DONALD B. ALDRICH More Snow Moves Up East Coast By ASSOCIATED PRESS A winter that refused to die spawned another snowstorm in the Northeast Sunday, bringing ine weekend death toll to 82 and imperiling highway travel with ice and snow drifts. Spring was officially scheduled to bow in Tuesday, but stalled cars, ice-glazed roads, slushy streets and snow shovels were the order of the day from Vir ginia to Connecticut. Trucks Move Up The new storm, cominsr on the heels of Friday's combination northeaster and blizzard, grew out of a low pressure area in West Virginia and moved diag onally across the Northeast in the general direction of New England. Snow was reported in portions of Virginia, West Virginia, Mary land, Pennsylvania, New York New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut.

The Weather Bu reau predicted the newcomer would lay a blanket of up to six incnes over the area. Sand trucks moved out to help clear up traffic snarls on many major highways and -bridges. Cities called in additional snow removal crews. Toll roads and thruways cut speed limits in half and found, in many cases, the motorists were obliged to halve the figure again. Ike Snowbound Among the snowbound was President Eisenhower, who gave up the idea of returning to Washington when a five-inch snow pileup closed roads in the vicin ity of his Gettysburg, farm.

But like a boy suddenly let out of school, the President seemed to enjoy the weather and trudged about his farm in a snowy morning constitutional. Meanwhile, the effects of Fri' day's storm lingered. In addition to the deaths directly attributa ble to the storm, three elderly women perished in a Boston apartment house fire. Snow and parked cars hampered fire en gines trying to reach the build ing. The new storm quickly added to the death tally.

Three women and a man died in a two-car col lision on an ice-slick highway near Warrentown, va. The weekend storm death toll included: Massachusetts 16, New York 17, Rhode Island 10, Con necticut 8, New Jersey 6, Ohio 12, Maine 3, Maryland 1, New Hampshire 1, Pennsylvania 4, and Virginia 4: The Italian freighter Etrusco remained hard aground in Scitu-ate. while salvage offi cials laid refloatation plans. They called it "quite a project" and said they probably will have to jack it up and skid it on. The Etrusco was driven to within 50 yards of shore by 60 mile an hour winds Friday night Its 30-man crew was taken ashore in breeches buoys after 10 harrowing hours aboard the grounded craft.

Passion Is Given Here Under direction of Fritz Mah ler, many elements combined to give a deeply rewarding performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion at the Bushnell Memorial auditorium Sunday night. There were five estimable soloists, including Marquita Moll, soprano; Betty Lou Allen, mezzo-soprano: Walter Frede ricks, tenor, who sang the Evan gelist; Chester Watson, bass- baritone, who sang the role of Jesus; and Richard Park, as Judas, Peter, Pilate and the High Priest There were the 135 or so mem bers of the Hartford Symphony Chorale handsomely prepared by Robert S. Brawley, and the boys' choirs from St. John's Church and St.

Justin's and Kingswood schools, directedhy Clarence Watters, F. Francis Crowley and Stanley R. Waterman, respectively. There were Mr. Brawley him self as a well-tempered organ ist, and Daniel Pinkham, one of the country's most distinguished harpsichordists.

And there were some 50 members of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, for it was under the aegis of the Sym phony Society of Greater Hart ford that this performance of the Bach work was given. All In Perspective It might have been a case of too many cooks, but it indeed was not. Mr. Mahler had fitted the components together most astutely. Not too much chorus to bow down the small but choice orchestra.

Not to much orchestra to frenzy the singers The harpsichord, to many listeners usually a frail instru ment, filled its niche clearly and firmly. And the soloists were al lowed to work against this tem perate, finely balanced back ground with as much vocal and dramatic impact as they saw fit, They saw very fitly indeed. Mr. Mahler whole concept of the Bach Passion was on the introspect side. There was no florid musicmaking or flamboy ant performance here.

The drama he conveyed rather through a kind of intense quie tude and the sweet and poignant color and mood of the mu sic itself. I am free to admit that at the outset, the temper and tone of the performance seemed pitched a little too low But as the performance pro gressed, one became impressed with how right it really was, a meditation upon more than a taking part in a sacrificial drama. 1 All this was no better summed up than in the close tf the per formance. There was long and ardent but the audi ence reaction was Better oo- served in the protracted silence that hung over the house right after the final notes had been sung and played, the had patently been plunged into a depth of meditation and rap ture itself, all of a piece with the performance, a spell that everyone hesitated to break for quite a rew moments. Soloists' Contribution The soloists all sang very well.

Miss Moll was substitutin for Madelaino Chambers, whom illness prevented from appear ing. Her voice was light and ethereal. Miss Allen, well be loved here, sang with all the velvet beauty of her opulent voice and all the patrician taste that have been her high attri butes for so long now. Mr. Fredericks' clear tenor was the flame that illuminated the Evangelist's account of The Passion.

The strongest dramatic moments were from Mr. Watson in the role of Jesus. Mr Park sang the remnant roles neatlv. I thought neither the chorale or the orchestra had been heard together in such rewardingly transparent, delicate yet com municative performance here before. The diction of the singers was not ns lucid as some times perhaps, but their musical Quality was elegant.

The men and women of the orches tra played warmly and expressively, and I was particularly caueht up bv the playing of Gerald Gelbloom, the concert- master, and Carl Bergner, flute, in many eloquent passages. It is onlv too bad that so sen sitive a performance of such a great work as this Bach Pas sion was heard by so tew pco- it, 9 Heads Of Eire And Yale Trade Gifts At Dinner Funerals Funeral services for Mrs. Vi vian M.

Seen 60 Miles Away The light was observed from up to 60 miles away from tha ARDC launching site at the Holloman Center.

It said nitric oxide hai the property of bringing two oxygen atoms together to form an oxygen molecule and release light. The gas is not used up in the process, but is used over and over again without exhaustion. The light thus produced Is actually sunlight which has been stored chemically in the oxygen atoms, the air force explained.

He said lie had 26J on the first ballot that year. By voting time Tuesday, the primary might become one of those-anything-can-happen affairs if Kefauver keens his momentum.
