Scientist Predicts Man
Will Land On The Moon
By End of The Century
COPENHAGEN, — American
scientist Frederick C. Durant pre
dicted today that man will land
on the moon by the end of the
present century.
Durant, of Lexington, Mass.,
made the statement at the official
opening of the Sixth International
Astronautical Congress here.
Referring to the recent White
House announcement that Ameri
ca will launch an unmanned earth
satellite in 1957-58, Durant, presi
dent of the International Astro
nautical Federation, said:
“The next step will be a man
ned satellite which will not re
turn to the earth. This will be
followed by trips around the
moon. I personally believe all
these achievements including
landings on the moon will be
accomplished by the end of this
century.”

in self defense.
Kilday joined nine other of
ficers in putting down last night’s
riot. He said about 40 shots were

South Korea Says
6 Attack Imminent’
From the North
SEOUL, Ml—'The South Korean
government proclaimed its inten
tion Tuesday to “restore author
ity” over a small but startegic
area south of the 38th Parallel
which the Reds occupied while the
armistice was being' negotiated.
It did not say how or when it
would recover the territory, but
said it was necessary for defense
of Seoul and quoted intelligence
reports that a “full scale attack is
imminent” from the north.
It charged the attack “was pre
pared for” by a North Korean
buildup contrary to armistice
terms “while the United Nations
were preoccupied with a peace at
any cost movement.”
In a bitterly-worded statement
the ROK government said the
Reds have again achieved super
iority over ROK forces and “may
feel tempted to utilize this oppor
tunity resulting from the ‘relaxa
tion of world tension.’ ”

Scientists Reported Will
Try To Create “Artificial
Moonlight” 60 Miles Up
LONDON, (#>—A British Scient
ist said today American scientists
will try to create “artificial moon
light” 60 miles above the earth
during experiments in New Mex
ica, probably next month.
Prof. D. R. Bates made the
statement in disclosing that Brit
ish scientists are considering the
same experiment, which involves
release of sodium vapor from >
high altitude rockets.
Bates is a member of the dept,
of mathetmatical physics at
Queen’s University, Belfast, who
will lead one of five university
groups taking part in British
rocket research programs.
Bates said the American ex
periment will probably be tried
Sept. 6 or 7.
The upper atmosphere contains
about one part in a billion of
sodium which produces a great
deal of light in the air, he ex
plained, and by greatly increasing
the amount he believes the “full
moon” effect would be created.
He considers the experiment
would provide much information
about the winds at extreme
height, the temperature of the
atmosphere and the chemical re
actions going on in it.
