'Mars Expedition' Returns To South African Station Washington Astronomers studying the face, of Mars dur ing the next six months hope to solve many of the mysteries of the only planet in the heavens that shows signs of life. Dr. E. C. Slipher, world-renowned authority on Mars, will go to Bloemfontein, South Afri ca, on the second "Mars Expe dition" in three years sponsored by the National Geographic Soc iety and Lowell Observatory of Flagstaff, Ariz. From at least 20 other points around the world, observatories will carry on a coordinated photographic patrol in coming months. They will keep watch on Earth's neighboring planet as it swings across the sky in its closest approach since 1941. Red Planet Nears On Sept. 10, Mars and Earth will reach "opposition," lining up with the sun. Only about 35, 300,000 miles apart little more than a third the distance of the sun from Earth they will be virtually as close as they ever come. The nearest possible ap proach is 33,900,000 miles, but that will not occur until me year 278,254 A.D. Dr. Slipher and a fellow as tronomer from the University of Berne in Switzerland, Paul Wild will use the Lamont - Hussey Observatory's 27-inch refracting telescope at the capital of the FIRE HAZARD Detroit (U.R) Fire Capt.

(International) MYSTERY Open Throughout The Year Orange Free State, Bloemfon tein. It is the most powerful in strument in the Southern Hemi sphere for detailed observation of the planets. Mars crosses the night sky in South Africa's winter almost di rectly over Bloemfontein, and the weather is almost uniform ly good. In 1954, from the same location, the first National Geo graphic Society - Lowell Obser vatory Mars Expedition made 20,000 photographs of the red planet as it passed just under 40,000,000 miles away. The continuing scrutiny of the face of Mars, with modern equipment and new techniques, may reveal answers to many of its secrets: its changing atmos phere, often shrouded in a mys terious "blue envelope"; the blue-green markings that grow and shrink against brick-red des ert regions of the planet's sur face; its exact diameter. Dm Life Exist? Man has long been fascinated by the possibility of life on Mars. Surface markings seem to fresh en and spread during the Mar tian spring and summer, turning browner again as fall and win ter near. These markings. Dr. Slipher believes, are definite in dication that some form of veg etation exists on the red planet. If this were not so," he re ported after the 1954 expedition, 'the winds of Mars would long ago have scattered the dust and sands everywhere, rendering the whole surface the same uniform tint." Precise measurement of the diameter of Mars, showing astro-physicists whether the nearly dead world has an iron core like Earth's, could alter .theories of the birth of all planets. . By making telescopic photo graphs in three different colors blue, red and yellow Dr. Sli pher will look for new clues to the strange bluish haze that shrouds Mars at all but rare times of "blue clearing," gen erally observed during opposi tions. -.--'-.V - WRITE, WIRE, PHONE FOR RESERVATIONS ... to the Klamath Basin Roundup Assn., 323 Main St., Klamath Falls, Oregon.

PLAN NOW TO ATTEND Sunday, June 24, 195S London Police Seek Half to Gang Wars London (U.R) Police "set a 24-hour guard on the wife of Jack (Spot) Comer Saturday in a new move to halt the spread of Chicago style gang warfare.
