ilYTMirVILLl (AM.) COURIER NEW! TUESDAY, MAY If, Science Probes Mysteries of Mars As Red Planet Gets Nearer Earth. Fifty-Seven New Books Added ByBOSE KRULL NBA Spwiftl Correspondent WAHINGTOK (NEA) red planet has an important XtndMVOur with earth this year during which man will try to solve some of its age-old secrets. Is there life on Mars? Are there intelligent beings? What is the meaning of the mysterious "blue envelope" which the planet's surface? What do the dark greenish markings portend during the Martian summer? Are they vegetation? Are there really "canals" on Mars as claimed by the Italian astronomer Schiaparelli in The patting years have not settled this controversy. Thftat are some of the mysteries to penetrate this in the planet will approach closer than it has in 16 years. Mars swinge next beyond tht in distance from the sun.

When the two planets reach positions nearest each other in their at intervals of slightly more than two years, their average distance apart is 48,000,000 miles. At Mars is more than 300,000,000 miles from the earth. Mars' orbit is off center, however, bringing it closer to the earth In regular cycles. In 1954 it will pass distance of about 40,000.000 and in 1956 a little more than 36,000,000 miles, closer than it has been at any time since 1939. Last summer the International -Mart CJommittee was formed to plan and coordinate astronomical work on the red planet.

In the coming year, observations will be on all major continents, from high flying planes and perhaps even from stratosphere-piercing missiles. The chief attack upon the planet's will-be made by a team of sponsored by the Lowell Observatory, of Flagstaff, and the National Geographic Society. The expedition will be led by Dr. K. C.

Sliper, of Flagstaff, who has given a lifetime study to Mars. It win spend nine months at the Lamont-Hassey Observatory Bloemfotein, South Africa, where a 37-inch refracting telescope will be trained nightly at the planet. The telescope is ideally placed for the work, being located at a latitude where Mars will pass almost directly overhead each night. The akies there are unsually also clear in late spring and summer. The committee hopes that by organizing round-the-world study of Mars, in which numerous amateur astronomers will participate, science will gain its most searching knowledge of the strange planet.

One goal more exact measur- ment of the planet's diameter, a- bovit haK that oC the earth, and from, it a better understanding of internal makeup.

These change overthe years and also with the seasons, althought their general outlines remain relatively fixed. The markings are dark greenish blue in the Martian summer, turning to a browner shade as fall and winter approach. This has led to conjecture that, they are formed by vegetation.

A. is the fact that more and more young men and women are attracted to the program "before" (heir problem drinking- results in complete disaster. (hat the nature of alcoholism is better appreciated, these young people recognize that, if one is an alcoholic, the BEST time to arrest the illness is in its early stages.

In the first days of the movement it was commonly thought that the only logical candidates for A. A. were those men and women who had lost their jobs, had hit Skid Row. had completely disrupted their family life or had otherwise isolated themselves from normal social relationships. Today many of the young people turning to A.

A. are their twenties. A few are still in their teens. The majority are in their thirties and forties. Many of them still have jobs and families.

Many have never been jailed or hospitalized. But they have seen the handwriting on the wall. They recognize that they are alcoholics and they see no point in letting alcoholism run its inevitably disasterous course with them. Their need for recovery is just as compelling as that of the older men and women who had no opportunity to turn to A. A.

in their youth. Once they are in A. the young people and the oldsters are rarely conscious of their age differentials. In A. A.
