The lady next door who is re ally getting the lifted eye these days with cameras and glasses trained upon her is Mars. During lit 1-. 5 -J6 the past fortniEht, this Miss Uni verse, a ruddy-glowing planet, has been closer to us than for 34 years! Don't worry about a collision she's still 35,120,000 miles away. Even at this closest range, her face is about 1-70th as broad as our full moon. To probe her fascinating se crets, astronomers in 20 obser vatories particularly those in the southern hemisphere are loaded with brand-new equip ment: never before have they had such large telescopes. Never before, such high-speed photo graphic films in color and black and white, and such fine-grain images, capable of tremendous Threat of Another Incident Hovers Through London London U.P.) The threat of another Anglo-Soviet incident hovered over London Saturday. This one involved 80 tons of scenerv and equipment sent here from Moscow for next month's artpearaace of the Bolshoi Bal let. The 781 nieces of equipment about twice the amount ex pected arrived in the Soviet freighter Balashov on Thursday, and was supnnsed 1 have been taken to the Covent Garden store rooms Fridav. Soviet officials hemmPd and hawed and finallv refused to al low the removal because they had not received proper instruc tions from Moscow. Ten trucks arrived at the quayside early in the day and started loading. Suddenly Bolshoi Supervisor Timilov Danilov burst on the scene and stopped the operation. "No unloading of scenery without special permission from Moscow," he cried. No Help Someone rang the Soviet Em bassy in London. It was no help. Covent Garden phoned the Brit ish Embassy in Moscow. It was no help. Danilov phoned his su periors in Moscow. They were no help. An hour later, at the height of the situation, it was decided that the trucks could load up so long as they did not leave the dock without a Kremlin okay. Hours later, when the last truck was being loaded. Danilov said the loading must stop. Frantic phoning and negotia ting continued all afternoon and into the evening. The truckers played cards on the dockside. In the evening, the trucking company stepped in to say it would not allow its vehicles to stay there all night. So the. equipment was taken off the trucks and piled, on the quayside overnight. A spokesman of the trucking company said, "There is very little chance of this load being moved this week end, even if the Russians give permission. We have other jobs lined up. It might be possible on Monday." Mrs. Cook have moved Into Med ford from Shady Cove during the summer months.

Within the past two weeks' photography some very interest ing things may be proved or dis approved. But don't expect an extra edition of this newspaper: it takes months to interpret the results. For many decades men have been intrigued with the canals on Mars. Ever since Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli, the famous Italian astronomer, announced in 1877 that he had seen canali on its surface. (The Italian word "canali" should have been trans lated "channels" not "canals" which implies man-made labor.) But he really set the world on its ear with this further para graph: "Their singular aspect (that of the canali) and their being drawn with absolute geometric preci sion, as if they were the work of rule or compass, has led some to see in them the work of in telligent being, inhabitants of the planet. I am very careful not to combat this supposition, which includes nothing impossible." Geometrical Perfection But the scientist further point ed out that nature has drawn geo metrical perfection in many things the formation of rings of Saturn, the rainbow, the reg ular design of snowflakes. the measured conical spirals of sea shells, the structure of near-perfect star-shaped flowers. More recently, astronomers have discovered polar ice on snow caps on Mars. An inch or so thick it is believed the southern cap is about 3.700 miles across, the northern some 3.100 miles. In summer (not coinciding with earth's, the southern cap disappears: the northern shrinks to about 200 miles in diameter. And finally, most exciting, just two years ago Dr. E. C. Slipher of Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Arizona, and his co-workers dis covered an entirely new blue green region on Mars covering an area just about the size of Texas roughly. 200.000 square miles. Since then observers have noted seasonal changes in the color from a greenish cast to a brownish-yellow one. (Curiously, the markings seem greener dur ing Mar's winter and brownish yellow during the summer.) If this past fortnight's photo graphy determines that it is vege tation, then for the first time we will know that life is not unique to our planet. And furthermore, if life exists on Mars then why not in some other forms on oth er planets circling other suns? Judging from life on earth, as tronomers believe that the life on Mars if it does exist might be lichen: a most primitive earth plant which can withstand ex treme cold and long periods of drought. Rugged Plant On Mars, it would take a rug ged plant. Clouds are rare but they do exist. A huge W-shaped cloud was seen there two years ago, lasting about a month, ev aporating every morning and re forming every afternoon. Judging from Mars distance from the sun 140 million miles, about a half again as far as our earth and its diameter slightly more than half the earth's the heat Mars Intercepts from the sun would give it a temperature perhaps of about 50 degrees Fah renheit during the day at the equator and drop to around -80 or more during the night! If we don't get the answers this time, it may take until 1971 when Mars once again gets into a favorable position for ob servation. Providing, of course, we don't approach it with a spaceship.

The proposed Intrastate rates would result in both increases and reductions over existing class rates. Commissioner Charles Heltzel said some objections to the new rates had been received from shippers. He said the rates would follow a temporary scale pre scribed by the Interstate Com merce Commission to test its ef fect in the Mountain-Pacific territory. New Stop Signs Due In City of Central Point Central Point Police Chief Wallace Bowen announced this morning that two new stop signs are being installed on East Pine st., the main street through Cen tral Point.
