First author takes to task those who invoke so-called "relativistic contraction of time" as basis for assumptions that space travelers would age less rapidly than persons on earth or that time would pass more rapidly on earth than on space ship; second author criticizes statements of first and holds that exposition of relativity theory by him is "wrong"; rebuttal, by first author, further disagrees with claims of second on interpretation of A. EINSTEIN. (See also - v 177 n 4513 Apr 28 1956 p 782-5, (discussion))
