5 inuhbuAi, nuvulD.n n. Hoi MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Mapping Moon Will Be Important Partof First Manned Lunar Flight By AL ROSSITER. JR. Charlottesville, Va. - (UPD -When an American astronaut first lands on the moon, he will step out on to what may be an ancient lava field un touched by a human and yet it will seem as if he were just following a road map into a new town. He will be like a Christo pher Columbus traveling to the new world with a detailed map of Central America. Even as his bug-like space craft settles through a thin layer of dust on the moon's surface, the lunar explorer will have a good idea of what kind of rock he's landing on. He will probably know what's under it. He will be able to look at a nearby crater, know what's inside and even tell its relative age. Unlike Columbus, who was convinced only that the earth was round and not flat, the astronauts and the space agency have to know what the moon's surface is like. They have to know where to send the moon probes and where to set up base camps. Must Bt Certain They must be certain the space ship won't be swallowed up in thousands of feet of dust or that it won't land in an area too rough for man and machines to cross.

Its scale (one-eighth of an inch equals about two miles) shows features of the moon down to a half-mile wide. (UPD Child's Behavior Problems Can Get Deeper With Growth Bv DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - WPU - It Just Isn't true children "grow like flowers, blossoming out from wlinin, sam Prof. Henry H. Work in a d m onishing p e diatriclans and family i physicians be- I cause so many of them as- i sume children ' automatical! y Ueloi smiih "grow out 01 their behavioral problems. The truth Is these problems can get deeper and firmer as physical growth goes on, con tinued Dr. Work who Is a pro fessor of psychiatry at the University of California Medi cal Center, Los Angeles. He was taking the stand that not nearly as many children are sent to psychiatrists as should be for the sake of their own adult mental health and well being. "Children grow and devel op In relationship to the out sidcworld and particularly In relationship to other human beings," he said in a tech nical organ of the Ameriran Medication Association. "This Is especially true of those with whom they have close contacts, such as their par ents." Psychiatry Impressed Scientific psychiatry has been much Impressed by lis experiences that childish be havior Is consistent through out childhood, and this con sistency applies most strongly to the children "who have gotten into conflicts early In life." Early troubles "become exaggerated as time passes, and each singe builds on the previous one in a rather or derly fashion, thus it is that a rebellious adolescent may well have shown Increased difficulties at the beginning of school and can often be re called by Hie parents as one who was difficult to train in his very earliest learning ex periences." P h y s i cians interested in children naturally become al lies of the child, he said. If they do not appreciate be havioral problems can he ac cumulative In a deepening and worsening process, they dish out reassurances to anxious parents which are in no way Justified. For these physicians "in terested In children" he de scribed "hints" to which, in his view, they should be alert. "One of these Is the num ber of complaints that a par ent makes about a child. Studies have shown that a parent who makes a large number of behavioral com plaints about a child Is dem onstrating with good correla tion the amount and intensity nf the difficulty. Consistency of Patttrn "Secondly, there is the con sistency of behavioral pal terns. A child who actively rebels during Infancy and early years and continues to do up to the early years of school is quite likely to be in need of help. Whenever one sees this pattern there is in dication to interfere." It is all very well for physicians to deal in reassur ances - "It Is one of the most powerful and ancient tools of the physician." They may even alleviate the behavioral symptoms of small children. But the symptoms may only go "underground," he said, and then reappear In the next developmental phase. "It is quite reasonable to be an ally of a child, but children arc neither loaded with original sin nor con tinually 'trailing clouds of glory.' All of the range of adult behavioral pathology (sickness) can be demonstra ted in children, and it is pos sible that were more atten tion paid to It earlier, less of the adult pathology, with which someone must deal, would be present." Two Subpoenaed in Oregon Land Deals Portland -UPII- Postal in spectors said Wednesday two persons have been subpoenaed to appear before a federal grand Jury here Dec. 13 In connection with reported probe into a land promotion project at Lake Valley south of Burns. The probe was said to have been conducted by the Postal Service and the Federal Trade commission. A spokesman for the FTC in Seattle declined to say why the government conducted the investigation. Oregon's real estate commis sioner, Robert Jensen, recent ly toured land developments In eastern Oregon and said the state needs a subdivision law. Milk is used as a barometer of fallout not because it is particularly likely to be dangerous, but because it is available in all seasons and in all parts of the U.S., and thus is a good test material. ! To set the stage for the first manned flight to the moon, the air force, army and geo logical survey are piecing to gether data by using every thing from the latest electron ic devices to a telescope built when the airplane was un known. Already, a map covering an area of the moon about the size of Colorado has been com pleted by Robert J. Hackman of the geological survey. Its scale 'sth of an inch equals about two miles, is similar to that of a typical stale road map and shows features down to a half mile wide. The map, a multi - colored chart on sale to the public for $1, is the first in a series of geological maps covering a broad belt across the face of the moon where a lunar land ing is most likely. Hackman used lunar photo graphs compiled by the air force, detailed pictures taken at several large observatories and sought out details by peer ing through the University of Virginia s 74-year-old refract ing telescope - largest of its kind in the east. "It took him about 50 hours of actual time on the telescope over a two-year period," said Dr. Valfrids Osvalds. head of the University's McCormick Observatory. the mapping chore mav be greatly helped by close - up television pictures scheduled to be taken by the Ranger series of lunar probes. But even with present in formation, the map is a great step forward in the National Aeronautics and Space Admin istration's preparation for the race to the moon. It gives an impression that the area mapped, named the "Kepler Region", is like a rugged, rocky expanse on the top of a rocky mountain range - without the vegetation. It shows an 18-mile wide crater, most likely caused by metcroid impact, with a flat center of crushed rock and slopes fractured in several places by moonquakes - move ments in the moon's crust. About 50 miles on either side of the crater is a hum mocky area of large blocks of rock, scattered ridges and dome-like hills. Small shallow craters are strewn about. To the west of the jagged crater area is a vast expanse of relatively smooth, dark colored rock - the "seas" of early astronomers. These areas, called maria, are be lieved to be lava fields from volcanoes that once might have racked the moon. Hackman said the great ex tend of the maria suggests the presence of thick sheets of basalt - a heavy, dark igneous rock found on the surface in many parts of the United States. Covering much of the maria are layers of finely crushed rock, probably only several feet thick, radiating from large craters like spokes from the hub of a wheel. This ma terial, called "rays", apparent ly is rock debris created when pieces of solar bodies smashed onto the moon's surface. Scattered throughout the maria are small craters, round hills which may be extinct volcanoes and long, narrow ridges similar in appearance to the Appalachian mountains of the eastern United States. The ages of lunar rocks can not be told in terms of years until men or instruments land on the moon. But the relative ages of major features have been determined by using the maria as a common denomina tor. Anything the maria cov ers is older and any craters smashed onto maria are younger. Tedious Task The moon mapping job is a necessary but difficult and tedious task. The smallest object seen on the best lunar photograph is one-half mile across and, with the use of a pair of pictures of the same feature viewed at a different angle for a stereo graphic effect, heights down to 1,000 feet can be measured. But an area one-eighth of a mile wide can be seen through a telescope under good view ing conditions. And at lunar sunrise or sun set - 14 days apart because of the two-week length of a moon's day - when the sun casts a long shadow on the moon's surface features, re lief of 100 to 200 feet can be seen. Because of the infrequent sunrises and sunsets on the moon, Hackman can look for lunar details only twice a month - and then only if the sky is cloudless. "Sometimes he will call from Washington to check on the weather here," OsvaldJ said, "and the sky will be clear. Then when he gets hera (a two-hour drive), it will ba raining." After the Ranger probes, the next and final planned step before sending a man to the moon is the surveyor proj ect. The surveyor will bo a maza of machinery designed to re port to earth everything its human namesake could do and maybe more. It will bore into the moon's surface, chew up and analyze rock, and take its temperature and measure ra dioactivity. And while it s doing that, the surveyor will be scanning the area with tele vision cameras. With that information, tha maps should be complete and the way paved for manned lunar exploration . lajifiiiiiw i X ' RUDOLPH STRUKOFF To Dirtct Choir Milo Chorale Will Present Concert The Mllo chorale of the Milo Academy, Milo, Ore., will present a concert of sa cred music at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, at the Medford ar mory.
