Scientist Disputes Theory of
Tektites Being Moon Particles

UPI Science Editor
New York UPI A
hot scientific argument of this
very moment is over the
question of whether -or not
little pieces of the moon are
scattered here and there on
are little
pieces of some
thing scatter
ed around all
right, and if
. they're not

origin of these strange, glassy
rounded bits called tektites
have puzzled scientists for
generations. -
C. M. Varsavsky, brilliant
young Argetine astrophysicist
who is taking advanced stud
ies at Harvard, started the ar
gument by producing math
ematical calculations intend
ed to show that tektites are
pieces of the moon.
His idea was that meteors
colliding with the moon chip
ped off pieces,, which is most
plausible.
The moon is pock-marked
with innumerable craters evi
dently made by meteors It is
logical to assume that colli
sions of such force would
have had to send parts of the
moon hurling off into space.
Varsavsk y's. mathematics
showed how these pieces
could have spiralled, even so
slowly, down to earth.
Dispute Theory
But now come three dis
tinguished scientists, includ
ing Dr. Harold C. Urey, fam
ous atomic scientist and Nobel
Prize winner of the Univer
sity ; of Chicago,, with argu
ments designed to shatter his
theory into pieces even smal
ler than tektites.
Urey objected chiefly on
chemical grounds. Tektites
are largely silica and alum
ina. They are bits of rocks
which evidently were made
in extremely hot and long
enduring fire. If tektites are
moon pieces then the moon's
fire-made rocks are quite dif
ferent from earth's, which
Urey thought most unlikely.
The principal objection of
Dr. Virgil E. Barnes of the
University of Texas, was on
the matter of distribution.
Barnes, by the way, was the
first man to identify a belt
of tektite deposits in the Uni
ted States. It is in Texas. If
the theory were correct, he
reasoned, you'd find tektites
distributed in a wide belt
furthermore, you'd find them
in all the earth's layers of
rocks because the spiraling
of moon pieces would have
been going on over eons of
time. . . '
No Continuous Pattern
But - tektites have been
found only in widely separ-

Luxor Most history books
have a picture of the Temple
of Karnak, but not so many
show the Colossi of Memnon
just across the Nile.
They are two 69-foot gran
ite statues one of which is re
ported as singing at sunrise.
The sound, described as a
moaning noise, was first re
ported in 27 B.C. after the
then 1400-year-old statue was
damaged in. an earthquake.
It has been heard by many
reliable observers in modern
times.
Some say it is due to the
rush of air through tiny cre
vices in the stone as a result
of temperature changes caus
ed by the sun. Others attrib
ute it to a device installed
by the priests who supervised
construction of the statues
that originaly guarded the en
trance of a temple long since
gone.
After visiting the statues,
we drove up the valley a few
miles through an agricultural
area where Egyptian fanners
were working with domestic
buffalo. . . ,
The domestic buffalo, like
the camel, is not to be found
on the wall paintings and
scriptures of Egypt. The rea
son probably is that they
were not imported from In
dia' until after the Pharoahs
were gone. Very likely the
first were brought in after
Alexander the Great's con
quest of western India in the
late 300s, B.C.
Buffalo Dangerous
It seems strange the Indian
buffalo has been so easily do
mesticated when -the African
hasn't been. In the wild state,
the Indian, though a little
smaller, is fully as dangerous.
' They are generally of a
dark, slaty color with white
fetlocks, thick-skinned as they
are, their hide and a long, tuf
ted tail are not enough to pro
tect their hairless flanks from
the flies. As a result they
like nothing better than to
stand in water with only their
nose and heavy horns show
ing. ' '
In addition to -being tre
mendous workers they are
among the strongest animals
they give a milk that it
said to be much richer than,
cow's. Since they are widely
used in southern Europe as
well as Asia . and Africa, it
seems odd that they haven't
been introduced into the
United States.

Cardinals Gather
For Consistory
Vatican City (UPI) -Cardinals
of the Roman Catholic
church gathered Monday for
the first consistory called by
Pope Pius XII in more than
four years.
A secret consistory and a
public consistory 45 minutes
later were being held to de
bate the merits of two candi
dates for sainthood in the
church.
The last consistory called by
the Pontiff was on May ,20,
1954, when . cardinals and
bishops approved canoniza
tion of Pope Pius X.
Today's consistory was ex
pected to be devoted solely to
discussion of the canoniza
tion causes and the reading of
3u list of bishops appointed
during the last four years.
BUMS ASTONISHED
New York (UPI) Harry
Baronian, publisher of the
Bowery .News, has introduced
a new gimmick "to discour
age: panhandling and stimu
late -the latent urge in ; bums
to go to work. Baronian, when
accosted by - a "stem-artist"
asking for a "hand-out" now
gives them a pay packet en
velope containing a dime and
a card reading; "Why not ped
dle the Bowery News?" The
results to date ' have been
an assortment of astonished
glances. .
ated groups in Indonesia,
in Australia, "an the Libyan
Desert, and among ancient
rocks along a 120-mile strip
through five Texas counties.
And they're found in only a
few of the earth's layers and
these few are widely separ
ated. This shows there has
been no more or less contin
uous rain of moon pieces
or of tektites.
Dr. Zdenek Kopal, astrono
mer of the University of Man
chester, England, objected
to Varsavsky's mathematics.
He granted that Varsavsky
had constructed mass parti
cles trajectories which could
bring something from the
moon to the earth. But if tek
tites were chipped off the
moon by meteors, the begin
ning of their trajectories . to
ward the earth would have
been different than Varsav
sky calculated, and the chips
wouldn't have reached earth,
Kopal said.
In Kopal's opinion, the 7ri
gin of. tektites "must be
sought much . nearer to the
terrestrial surface ' than the
moon.". In other words, sci
ence doesn't know where they
came from, but they didn't
come from the moon. '
Schooling Housing Problems Voiced
Portland (UPI) Gov.
Robert D. Holmes told the
Oregon Intergroup Relations
conference here Saturday that
the public must be alerted to
the tremendous discrimina
tion problems in schooling
and housing that lie ahead.
The conference convened at
Portland State College with
State 1 Labor Commissioner
Norman Nilsen presiding.
Oregon's large - population
growth in the next decade will
foster discrimination prob
lems, the governor said,- and
even now such segments as
the Klamath . Indian, the sen
ior citizen and the migratory
worker are running into re-
strictions of their civil rights.
"The chief function of the
state is to educate people-in
the law and not merely ad
minister cold justice," Holmes
said. "Government should
take the leadership in devel
oping equal opportunities for
minority group citizens.".
WINS AND LOSES
Milan, Italy (UPI) Clerk
Felice Doria felt like kicking
himself today for making a
$128,852 copying mistake in
his soccer pool last week end.
Doria won $2,348, but much
to his dismay he learned that
on the original copy of his
forecast he had results that
would have brought him
$131,200. A mistake in copy
ing the actual forecast he sent
in made the difference.
