A In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS PIGGLY WIGGLY PIGGLY WIGGLY MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OHE, lj More space stuff: Having apparently got one on the way, Russia is plan ning to launch MORE rockets to Venus. Dr. Alexander Mar kov, writing in the Soviet newspaper K o m somolskaya, says: "The three-quarter-ton lab oratory now speeding toward Venus ushers in an era of interplanetary flights. There is no doubt that after this first rocket others carrying automatic instruments will be sent to Venus. They will transmit back to the earth in formation about the atmos phere of Venus, the composi tion of its surface, its flora and fauna, if flora and fauna (meaning plants and animals) exist on this mysterious planet." Alexander Newsmenov, president of the Soviet Acad emy of Sciences, says in a Pravda interview: "The day is drawing near when man will EXPLORE and DE VELOP planets." WEIRD? Wild and woolly? Certainly. But so was Co lumbus' project to sail west ward into the horizon into the unknown seas in an effort to find a short and simple and relatively inexpensive route to the wealth of the Indies. Everything considered - in cluding man's vastly in creased KNOWLEDGE-it is at least arguable that the idea of space exploration is no more fantastic in these days than was Columbus' idea of sailing around the world nearly five centuries ago. NOTE: Columbus wasn't trying to prove that the world is round, as so often is said. Back in the 15th century ed ucated people KNEW the world was round. Columbus was an educated man-self-educated, but still WELL edu cated for his day-and he knew the world was round. His men trusted his knowl edge. But, after all, they were going farther out of sight of land than man had ever gone before - and that took courage. Probably as much courage as space travel takes now. OEARCHING question: Will Russia LEAD THE WORLD in this business of space exploration - as she seems to be doing so far? IF so, WHY? . We once led the world in scientific and mechanical progress. Could it be that we are slipping-ever so slightly, but still slipping-away from that position we once held? Could it be that we are be coming so intrigued with the idea of cradle to the grave SECURITY that we are losing our interest . in pioneering? That is a grave question. It deserves a lot of thought.
