Scientist Sees
Trip to Moon
In Nil
Lincoln, Nob. HP) Some day1
about 50 years from now, a space
ship may make the 240,000-mile
trip to the moon, and return to
the earth within 24 hours. i
That is the belief of J. P. Col
bert, professor of civil engineer
ing at the University of Nebraska.
He is confident science will solve
the problem of fueling a Riant
rocket ship for the expedition by
about the year 2000.
According to Colbert's predic
tions, the ship will take off at an
almost perpendicular angle and
hurtle through the air at the nec
essary seven-miles-per-second "es
cape speed." Once the plane is
clear of the air surrounding the
earth, he said, its rockets can be
cut bff and it can coast through
.fcpace a large port of the time.
About Nine Hours
He estimated the journey will
take about nine hours.
The aircraft will have to land
stern-first, Colbert said, using its
rockets to break the impact of
the landing.
The arrival on the moon will be
timed for the "dawn line," just as
that planet's 336-hour "day" is
beginning, Colbert said. The tem
perature there reaches the hotter-than-boiling
point of 214 degrees
when the sun is directly overhead,
he noted, and the two-weeks-long
"nights" get as cold as 215 de
grees below zero. Therefore men
must plan to arrive at the most
temperate time, he explained.
Astronomers believe men can
remain safely on the moon for
one or two hours before begin
ning the return voyage, Colbert
said.
The takeoff from the moon will
be far easier, he said, since its
gravity is only one-sixth as strong
as the earth's.
Tests to Come First
Unmanned, guided missiles un
doubtedly will be used on test
flights before a staffed expedition
tries it, Colbert said. If these rock
ets were filled with an explosive,
colorful substance to spatter the
surrounding area, the landing
could be seen by strong telescopes
on earth, he thinks.
Colbert said it is reasonable to
assume the last half of the cen
tury will see development of the
fuel needed for the trip.
"Look what we've done in the
first half," he said. "If anyone had
tried to describe television or ra
dio or jet planes in 1900, people
would have thought he was
crazy." .

CONFIDENCE VOTED
Paris, Feb. 9 & Premier
Georges Bidault's weakened
French government won a back
handed vote of confidence on in
ternal policies Wednesday despite
the abstention o the powerful
socialist party.
Only the solid communist block
of 186 votes opposed Bidault, who
split with the socialists over a
bonus plan for low-paid workers
which would bring their monthly
salary to $48.57. The socialists
1 wanted more.
More than 97 per cent of the
men wounded in the recent war
survived; resources of blood and
plasma played a big part in the
. life-saving.

' - Now In 800's
The veterans administration's
carefully-worked out order of
check-writing depends on the last
three digits In the ex-serviceman's
serial number.
Right now the treasury is work
ing on the "300's" and "400's"
tserlal numbers ending In such
figures as 365, 381, 423 or 4301.
But VA says Gl's shouldn't be
alarmed if they think they al
ready should have received their
check but haven't. There have
been some hitches. For instance,
when an error appears on the
voucher forms, they have to be
recnecKea and that means a ue-!
lay in the dividend check. j
The agency now expects ll,-'
000,000 checks will go out in what
it calls the "first pay cycle." That
means going through the entire
file of potential payees once. The
first go-around probably will be
completed at the last of March.
Withou a break in check-writing,
the VA then will start send
ing to the treasury vouchers for
are the policy-holders whose rec
the so-called "irregulars." Those
ords were not fully in shape when
the check-writing began. They in
clude late applicants and cases
where the government had to
write the veteran for more infor
mation. It should take about a
month to clean up this batch.
Hard pad disease in dogs, grow
ing more common in England,
gets its name from the fact that
afflicted animals acquire a hard
ness in the pads of their feet,
sometimes as hard as Iran.
