"We hope to place these in the vicinity of the moon, 'moon probers' to photograph conditions on the moon, including the other side of the moon. "From 1959 to 1965, the schedule calls for launching of large satellites into orbit, up to 300 pounds each." These will be for the purpose of study of all kinds of radiation that comes in from outer space and affects all of us." Weather stations "up there," he said, would aid in forecast of weather and, in time, could influence the graphs, since the earth's at-: mosphere distorts the pic-: tures.

The studies will aid in-completion of knowledge about origin of life, he said, for "surely there must be life on these other planets." He agreed with Judge Florence E. Allen of Ohio, whose outer space resolution had been passed, that the research should be in the hands of scientists and not the military. "This would prevent the increased antagonism engendered by competition between countries," the scientist added.

Peaceful Study of Space Urged The international group had passed resolutions calling for peaceful and non-military study of the universe beyond the stratosphere, and the American women's organisation joined the procession. "Everyone is aware that and velvet inks of unimaginable cold, darkness and distance," had suddenly lost hold of its familiar earth ties and concepts and had gone insane, allowing its splendid and undamaged ship to plummet forever where it would. What, besides panic, had driven this hand-picked crew insane? Soul trouble, says Bradbury. Products of the cynical agnosticism of their time, the magnificently trained and equipped crewmen had proved disastrously unfitted to face the fact of the eternal nothingness of space without a knowledge of God.

Space Travel Must Be Religious Experience Space travel, says Bradbury, will have to be a religious experience. Or it will be bedlam. That is the burden of his message. What else will space travel do to man? Despite his, literary experiences aloft, Bradbury hesitates to speculate on so broad a questiom To the layman, however, man seems, on the record, a pretty poor specimen to go blasting off into infinity. Although he has already journeyed billions of light years to other galaxies (via telescope), it is knowledge that man has progressed little more than a frog's leap toward understanding the black velocities and unimaginable murky distances of his own naturelet alone the natures of his neighbors.

"If you want to do a little hair-raising space travel right now," Bradbury says, "try journeying into yourself to find the 'real How, critics ask, can a creature who has pried into the interstices of the sun, only to make a bomb; who Please Turn to Pg. 5, Col. 1 Notables gathered lor tea in the home of Mrs. Edwin M.

Somewhere on its way, he says, contact with the earth was lost and the ship began to drift and fall without direction, like a dead space whale. Back home newspaper opinion was that the ship had collided with some flaming mass or had been picked to pieces by meteors, or had been frozen and then shattered into a million fragments by the violent gravitational crosscurrents of the universe.
