13: these included military per

and overseeing developments of
the atomic powered plants which

Plans are Peiim
Made to Station
Man on the Moon
BALTIMORE, Md. UP — Tenta
tive operational plans for sta
tioning men on the Moon were
disclosed today.
The government-backed study
maped some strange methods for
sustaining life in a still stranger
environment.
“It’s going to be a barren,
monotonous place,” said John De
Nike, program manager for the
Lunar Transport study.
The planning project is being
carried out by the Martin Co.
under contract with the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration.
A preliminary report said a
decade or more may be needed
to establish permanent bases on
the Moon. It outlined some of the
techniques and conditions in pros
pect for the expedition.
Insulated balloons and caves or
tunnels are foreseen as Moon
shelters, protecting against solar
radiation and extreme temper
atures ranging from 250 degrees
in daylight to 230 below zero in
darkness.
Boring machinery for digging
tunnels and other equipment for
building bases is expected to be
operated by remote control by a
crew still within the space ship.
Man himself presumably won’t
be able to do heavy construction
work, since a chance break in his
space suit could be fatal. It’ll be
a pushbutton construction job.
Vehicles for traveling about the '
Moon’s surface will have to be
of special design, perhaps with
wirebrush or rolling-sphere
wheels, since rubber tires would
deteriorate rapidly.
To make the space ship itself
maneuverable, so it can be moved
about or its position changed, it
will probably be supported on
stilts that operate mechanically
like walking legs.
A likely landing site is on the
relatively flat areas within one of
the large Moon craters. Provisions
must be made, however, for pos
sible scattered boulders, jagged
rocks or crevices.
Man will find his apparent
strength and stride magnified six
times, since gravitation on the
Moon is only a sixth of earth. A
three-foot earthbound step will
carry him 18 feet.
The Moon-expedition studies are
making plans for three basic mis
sions in this sequence: A Lunar
landing and immediate return for
three men, a 30-day stay on the
Moon for three men and a per
manent Moon base which would
accommodate 10 to 12 men.
Geologist Hopkins Leaving
The Dave Hopkins family is
leaving today for Kotzebue en
route to Manley Hot Springs after
spending two months in Nome.
Mr. Hopkins is a well known
geologist of this area and is now
working out of Kotzebue by skin
boat and helicopter, continuing
his study of the beachline and
undersea formations.

New Proposal Made on
Ocean Passenger Service
Between Seattle—Alaska
SEATTLE l/ft — A new proposal
for regular ocean passenger serv
ice between Seattle and Alaska
has been proposed by a company
organized among Hawaii ship
crewmen.
The Seattle-Alaska Feriy Line,
Inc., proposes to acquire a C-2
freighter and convert her to ac
comodate 225 passengers, 150 ve
hicles and small amounts of
specialized cargo. Haines would
be the Alaska terminus. The ship
would sail for Haines from Seat
tle each Tuesday via Prince Ru
pert.
Copt. R. S. Armitstead, presi
dent of the new company, told the
weekly magazine, “Marine Di
gest,” he believes the operation
could be started for $3.5 to $5
million. This is much less than
most estimates of the cost of
Alaska ocean passenger services.
Armitstead’s company has had
discussion with naval architects
and now is trying to raise fi
nances.
Armitstead is chief mate of the
Matson fierghter Hawaiian Crafts
man. Other principals in his cor
poration also serve with him on
the ship.

j Airliner Slips Off
Taxiway Into Mud —
DENVER Iff* — An airliner with
95 passengers aboard slipped off
a taxiway, and one wheel sagged
deep into mud last night.
For an hour and 45 minutes, a
big tractor-truck tugged at the
Western Air Lines plane — to
no avail.
A burst of horsepower finally
freed the turbo-prop plane.
“Another six inches deep and
the propellers would have been
stuck, too,” said Capt. John Bar
chard.
The passengers stayed in the
Terminal Bldg, at Stapleton Air
field until the plane resumed
flight from Minneapolis to Los
Angeles.
