2 B Space Scientists May Analyze Moon's Surface By JOSEPH L. MYLER Unliad Pri International Washington - flIPD - Half a century ago a British physicist discovered in the tiny hearts of atoms a principle which now makes it possible for space scientists to analyze the surface of the moon before men go there. The same principle, operat ing in a rocket-borne device weighing less than five pounds could be used to study the chemistry of planetary sur faces. The story is told in a Uni versity of Chicago report on "The Scientific Imagination at Work." The story traces the evolution "of an idea from an English laboratory 50 years ago to an application on the moon." In 1911, the British physi cist, Lord Rutherford, pro duced the first unassailable evidence that every atom, of whatever element, has a heart, or nucleus. Occasionally Bouncad In the course of his expert ments, Rutherford discovered that charged particles aimed as infinitesimal bullets at a sheet of metal foil occasion ally bounced. Most of the par ticjes went right on through the thin foil. But others hit something that made them carom. This "something" was the atom s dense and weighty nucleus. It developed that each ele ment in the roster of matter produced a characteristic pat tern in the energy and Inten sity of particles rebounding away from it. Thus the way a particle bounced showed whether its target was an oxygen nucleus, say, or the core of a silicon atom. This characteristic came to be known as "Rutherford scattering" and it suggested a relatively simple way of Iden tifying chemical elements. Chemical Information Dr. Anthony Turkevich of the University of Chicago has proposed a device, based on Rutherford's discovery, for getting chemical information about the moon's surface ma terial. This information, the uni versity said, will enable space scientists to determine wheth er human life can be sup ported on the moon by proces sing lunar material to ob. tain the oxygen and other ele ments necessary for survival.' Turkevich's robot analyzer would weigh under five pounds and fit easily into a shoe box. It may be put to work in the space agency's survey program to land In struments gently on the moon In 1963-64. No Moving Parti It would contain no moving parts, no chemical reagents, no test tubes. A pencil-thin piece- of radioactive material would fire a con tlnuous stream of alpha particles-pos-itivcly charged nuclei of he lium atoms-at the moon dust or rock on which the device rested. A detecting material would record the energy and Inten sity of the rebounding parti cles. Turkevtch said this would show without fail the existence of such elements as carbon, oxygen, or silicon to a depth of a few milllonths of an inch In the moon's surface. Heavier elements would be indicated but with somewhat less detail. Results would be "teleme tered" to earth by radio. 1,000 Musicians Expected on Campus Ashland - More than 1,000 high school musicians will descend on the Southern Ore gon college campus Saturday April 14, for the annual sen ior high school large group music contest, Dr. Herbert Cecil and Oscar Bjorlie, as. sistunt professors of music and cochairmcn of the event, have announced. Participating in the contest will be bands, orchestras, and choruses from Ashland, Klam ath Falls, Glide, Phoenix Medford, Sutherlin, Roseburg, Lake view, Riddle, Sacred Heart Academy, Days Creek and Myrtle Creek. The choral events will be held in Churchill auditorium starting at 9 a.m. and the In strumental groups will per form in the college gymna sium beginning at 8 am There will be no admissiun charge and the public is in vited to attend. Judges for the contest will be Helen Mcl'hcrson, Marsh field High school; Don Clock 1 e r, Willamette university; Paschal Monk, Sacramento State College; Frank Leuck, Marshfield High school; Jack Browne, Chico Slate college; and Norman Hunt, Sacramen to Slate college.

Robinson, 63, known as "Eddie," is one of the writers at the domiciliary. He has a work room in the new hobby shop, where he be gins his writing at 9 a.m., live days a week. Before World War I, he was on the Mexican border in the U. S. cavalry, riding hard aft er Villa. Then Robinson, un der the command of "Hard boiled" Smith, went to France in '17, and was attached to the "Old Indianhead" (Second) Di vision. He served on three battle-fronts-the Champaign, the St. Mehiel, and the Meuse Ar gonne. For a short duration he was a prisoner at Coblenz, Germany. "It was an old, old building-or rather dungeon," Robinson said, "built during the time of the Middle Ages." Robinson at. present is en gaged in writing a review of one of Jack London's novels Martin Eden. m Best for Flavor Best for Trim Best for Price, tool In connection with National Library Week, Colonel Meir ing gave a travel talk Monday in the theater on Thailand, In dia, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. His slides were well receiv ed and showed many excMc cities and peoples. Now that the bowling sea son is ended Paul C. Bethel, chief of recreation, advocates that senior members particu larly take up horseshoe pitch ing. Several horseshoe courts are located back of and around the theater building. Pending sale of the old Sal vation Army church at Fourth and Bartlett sts., the Sunday school class of adults met Sun day in Redmen's hall, whera pictures of Indians, canoes, tents strike the eye. These temporary quarters were donated by the Redmen lodge at Fourth and Apple sts. Paintings of great animals at the edge of lakes and stately dark trees dominate the scene. .b 43c Captain Ricken called at tention to William Booth's six resolutions, the second one being, "That I will as much as 7-oz pkg. 49c possible avoid all that bab bling and idle talking in which I have lately so sinfully Indulged. 451 The birthday of William Booth was celebrated on Tues day by the Salvation Army throughout the world. Includ ing visiting members from - White City, there were 80 present at Sunday school. The adults are now divided into two sections, Mrs. Bandy : teaching one, and Mrs. Wenzel the other. Rita Holmes took a bus load of White City members to the 50 Plus club Friday. After noon potluck dinner, formal ceremonies of the meeting be gan with salute to the flag and a song, "God Bless Amer ica." ' Hanna Sirus gave the secre tary's report. The president, Mrs. Bowker, welcomed all visitors, and asked them to sign the guest book. She in structed that cards be sent to sick members; and 'thanked those who came early to set p the tables. She urged a liberal donation to the cancer fund. The meeting was closed with a prayer song and a nickel march. Mrs. Martha McGregory, who had been ill for three months, was wel comed at the meeting. Mr. Snow of White City ade a donation to the club for the cancer fund. He urged that the other men present donate. After which he sang a Texas cowboy song that was relaxing to the group. Mrs. Frank Roberts, who had been ill for six weeks at Sacred Heart, was at tha meeting and enjoyed the oc casion where a count showed 92 were present.
