| Public Hearing Planned
| On Proposal to Restrict
jOil and Gas Leales
| WASHINGTON, Uf$—A public
hearing will be Jtield there Dec. 9
on the Interior Department’s pro
posal to forbid oil arid gas leases
on certain federal wildlife lands.
Secretary Seaton announced he
ordered the hearing because of
widespread interest shown by the
general public.
The proposed new regulations
were announced last month.
Under them, all oil and gas
leasing would be forbidden on
wildlife refuge lands under the
complete jurisdiction of the Fish
and Wildlife Service except
wh^re the government determines
the lands are being drained of oil
and gas by nearby wells.
Leases for excepted lands could
be issued only upon approval of
the secretary and would contain
stipulations designed to protect
wildlife resources.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
Suppose that some day in the
near future a rocket trip to the
moon becomes a reality.
No human being could visit the
moon without taking air and wa
ter along. What we know about
the surface of our satellite en
ables us to describe some of the
natural phenomena. Absence of
atmosphere means no diffused
light. Nothing could be seen un
less the direct rays of the sun
were shining upon it. The instant
one stepped into the shadow of a
lunar crag, he would become in
visible.
No sound could be heard, how
ever loud. Sound would be im
possible. A landslide, or the roll
ing of a rock down the wall of a
lunar crater could be sensed only
by the tremor it produced. There
would be no noise.
So little is the force of gravity
that a good player might bat a
baseball half a mile without try
ing very hard.
