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.

LUNAR CHART Printed in multicolors,
this map is one of a series of lunar geologi
cal charts. 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

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 .
