To See Mars In Closeup
McDonald Observatory. A top Mount Locke, Tex., Feb. 17.—(UP) If their hopes come true, astronomers here tonight may determine whether life exists on Mars.
For weeks work has been progressing toward tonight when, at 1:15 a. m. C. S. T., Mars will approach within 63 million miles of the earth.
Astronomically speaking, that's almost as close as your next door neighbor.
Scientists will be using McDonald observatory's 82-inch reflecting telescope—the third largest in the world. And through it, if the weather is good, Mars should appear about four times as large as a full moon.
The observatory, situated on this rounded mountain top far out in the wastelands of west Texas, is operated jointly by the Universities of Texas and Chicago.
Preparations for the work tonight have been supervised by Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper, director of the Yerkes observatory at William bay, Wisc., as well as the observatory here.
Before the sun crests these mountain peaks tomorrow, Dr. Kuiper hopes to determine whether water can stay on the earth and green vegetation cover maps.
If they do, then speculation might logically follow that some form of animal life exists there, too.
He has pointed out that this could be expected "from a climate that resembles earth at an elevation of 50,000 feet. Lichen act like sponges, suck up water vapor present in the air. Rain is not necessary for their existence."
From these basic facts, scientists have long speculated that life might exist on the far-off planet.
Summons Husband To Court
Tonight - weather' permitting— they hope to learn the answer.
Gary, Ind.—(UP—Mrs. Lucretia Fowler, outgoing chief deputy clerk of courts, signed as one of her final official acts a summons ordering her husband to appear in court. The Rev. Newton P. Fowler, president of the Gary school board, was ordered to appear to answer a $10,000 damage suit against the city schools.
and Logan Holtgrew, Kansas City; Tom Collins, Belleville; Gene Balloum, Russell; Thomas Foster, Bartleau, Okla.; Kenneth Smith, Webb City; Norman Crane, Long Beach, Calif.; and Scholes, Council Grove.
