'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

suffering cuts and bruises, when
the truck sped out of the station.

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.

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.
Comer, self-styled "king of the
underworld," was arrested
Thursday on charges of razor
slashing a follower of Billy Hill,
his rival for the leadership of
London's race track mobs.
Mrs. Comer told police Friday
her life had been threatened. Po
lice immediately took up watch
outside her apartment. Detec
tives have been patrolling the
area quietly since Comer and
his wife were attacked by a gang
in the street four weeks ago.
The new outbreak of gang
warfare has sparked protests
from members of Parliament.
London newspapers claim gangs
led by Comer and Hill are re
sponsible for the outbreak.
