'Photon' Space Ship Hay
Solve Time 1V1 ciciiins Problem
Moscow OPs A Soviet
scientist indicated today that
man's age-old dream of creat
ing a time machine may be
realized some day with the
aid of "photon" space ships
able to project man thousands
of years ahead of time.
K. A. Gilzin, a member of
the USSR astronautical sec
tion, wrote in the newspaper
Soviet Aviation that space
travel on a "photon" space
ship which converts matter
into fuel and travels at near
ly the speed of light (186,000
miles a second) can travel for
half a lifetime into outer
space, then return to earth
and find that thousands of
years have elpased.
Gilzin admitted that this is
a "daring phantasy," but said
this is consistent with Ein
stein's theory of "decelera
tion." According to Einstein, as
man travels at a speed ap
proaching the speed of light
he actually slows down or de
celerates in relation to time
on earth. Thus a man travel
ing through outer space who
leaves behind on earth a six-year-old
son can return after
a period of time to find that
his son is older than he is.
Born and Died
Gilzin said that man trav

can reach "in several years'
stars far distant from the
earth and can returned to
earth. During this time many
generations will have been
born and died."
He described what he call
ed a photon-space ship which
obtained its fuel from minute
particles of matter which ex
ist in outer space.
The ship is composed of
four huge squares, each one
square kilometer in area.
A funnel mouth in the cen
ter of each square picks up
all particles of matter en
countered in flight, then di
gests them and transforms
them into light and ejects
them to the rear thus
creating forward motion.
A passenger cabin is locat
ed where the four squares in
tersect and elevators connect
the cabin to the engines, pre
sumably to permit mainten
ance. Gilzin said that the photon
engines will also pick up par
ticles from the colossal gas
vapors which exist in outer
space.
The writer admitted, how
ever, that there are tremend
ous problems that must be
solved before any such ship
can be constructed, including
the basic problem of convert
ing all matter Into energy.
But, he said, "it is hardly
surprising that our Soviet
people, the people who made
the first step to the conquest
of the cosmos, are already
thinking of such a great scien
tific problem."
"No, there are no limits to
the creative daring of the
man of the first Socialist
country," he said.
The same issue of "Soviet
Aviation" describes an air
plane of the future called an
"ionosphere plane" which
draws its fuel from "disinte
grated and ionized solar ra
diation" in the ionosphere.
According to Maj. Gen. G.
I. Plkrovski, one of Russia's
leading missile experts, a cat
alyst in the engine of this
plane reconstitutes the ions
and atoms into molecules and
the energy produced by this
propels the plane.

Hillary May Aid
Fuchs on Jaunt
Wellington, N.Z. iipi A
New Zealand Antarctic ex
per said today Sir Edmund
Hillary may nelp to set up
an extra supply base to aid
the completion of Briton Viv
ian Fuchs trail-blazing trans
Antarctic trek.
A. S. Helm, chairman of
New Zealand's Ross Sea Com
mittee, said the new base, that
would be 100 miles nearer
the pole than the one Hillary
set up last year, could be pro
visioned entirely by plane.
Earlier, Hillary himself had
confirmed his earlier plan to
fly to the base already es
tablished and guide Fuchs
from there to New Zealand's
Scott base on the Antarctic
coast. It appeared he had ab
andoned efforts to talk Fuchs
out of the transcontinental
try.
The British explorer was
260 miles from the pole at
latest reports. Re expects to
reach it by a week from Fri
day and push on toward the
coast.

of five pounds of butter for
$1.85 and the best silverware
at $2 for one dozen pieces,
which is still in use by the
Grange.
A couple of humorous read
ings were given by Glenn Mil
ler, on vacation from OTS,
who was at the meeting with
his mother, Nellie Miller.
The program closed with a
vocal duet by sisters Eskew
and Bruce. Refreshments
were served by Chauncey and
