BUCK ROGERS:
Interplanetary Travel Is
Foreseen Soon by Conlon
In the midst. of the discussions by
eminent scientists concerning the
possibilities of interplahetary travel,
Prof. Emerson W. Conlon, chairman
of the Department of Aeronautical
Engineering, stated the belief that
such travel will be possible within his
lifetime, if missiles can be made for
projection beyond 600,000 miles.
Interplanetary transportation,
according to Prof. Conlon, will sim-
ply be a natural consequence of
modern developments such as pro-
pelled planes, German .rocket
bombs, atomic power, and radar.
Evidence of the terrific speed of the
jet-propelled planes was given last
month when the Lockheed Shoot-
ing Star crossed the continent in
four hours and thirteen minutes.
Freedom to exploit atomic power
will be necessary, he believes, in order
to be able to use it most effectively.
The cost of such research, he added,
will have to be met by the federal
government. Space cars are bound to
be produced before another half cen-
tury, depending upon the develop-
Lncoln.. .

ments of instruments and vehicles
bhat will attain greater altitude, speed
and automatic controls as well as in-
,orporating improvements in other
aspects of aeronautical engineering.
Two obstacles to interplanetary
take-offs from the earth's surface
are the earth's atmosphere and its
gravitation. When a plane can rise
600,000 feet above the earth, how-
ever, it will be beyond the atmos-
phere belt. At that distance the
gravitational force will be greatly
diminished. As the space car con-
tinues in flight this force will con-
tinue to decrease.
Far out in space, Prof. Conlon con-
inued, little power will be required.
After the vehicle of the sky comes
within reach of a planet's gravity, its
journey will consist of falling to the
destination. Jet discharges in front,
,o act as brakes for this fall, then will
be necessary. The use of wings may
Facilitate landing either upon the
planet or upon the earth when re-
urning. Wings will be of no use in
interplanetary space, believed to be a
vacuum..
The transportation of oxygen will
be a vital factor in determining the
range of flight as room for it must
be made on the space vehicle. If
landing is made on the moon,
where no atmosphere exists, oxy-
gen tanks will have to be carried
about by the explorers as well.
According to Prof. Conlon, Mars
appears to have some free oxygen and
Venus, which is not so far as Mars
.rom the earth, has an atmosphere so
dense as to obstruct the view of the
astronomers from its actual surface.
The presence of oxygen in the lower
levels of the Venus atmospheric bele
has not yet been determined.
The use of atomic power may be
able to solve the fuel problem that
would be involved in such a jour-
ney. Gasoline and liquid oxygen
will be the principal fuel for the
space "rocket," but it is question-
able if a sufficient load can be car-
ried to make the return journey
without the use of atomic power.
To escape from the earth's gravita-
tion, aespecial power plant which can
be "kicked off" once a good start is
made, will have to generate the nec-
essary force. After that, a little jet
propulsion will suffice.
In order to steer the space vehicle,
Prof. Conlon concluded, engineers
will have to employ radar. The
planet-headed vessel, Prof. Conlon
concluded, will, in effect, "ride a
radar beam" to its destination.
murderer escaped from sight among
the scenery, taking advantage of the
state of the paralysis that gripped
the audience. After the first shock,
Sanford reported, "all rose up trying
to recover themselves, inquiring anx-
iously what it meant and if the Presi-
dent had been assassinated."
While the late President was lying
in state in the East Room of the
White House, Sanford wrote a second
letter to Goodrich describing the
"rush and jam" created by the people
in trying to see their former leader.
Sanford himself was one of those who
saw the late President. "The shape of
his face was perfect," he declared,
"but the expression was wanting."
Manifestations of grief and sympathy
among the crowd, he reported, were
startling; secessionists flinging out
their mourning through fear. San-
ford, concluding his letter, observed
that the slightesthtreasonable state-
ment made the speaker liable to ar-
rest and punishment.
Sanford returned to the University
shortly after this event and gradu-
ated in 1866. The letters are the
property of Francis L. D. Goodrich,
curator of printed books of the Li-
brary and son of the student to whom
the letter was written.

proximately three-fourths of the last
purchase price. A ten per cent
charge will be deducted by the Book
Exchange to cover the cost of han-
dling.
Owners Notified
Owners of books not sold will be
notified by postcard after the close of
the Exchange. Unsold books must be
picked up within the week after
March 7.

A cquit~ctAse
By The Associated Press
JACKSON, Feb. 11 - A directed
verdict of acquittal for the five de-
fendants accused of a liquor conspir-
acy was requested today by defense
counsel, afterthey completed long
motions to have major portions of
testimony stricken from the record.
Court was adjourned until Wed-
nesday morning, when Special Prose-
cutor Kim Sigler will answer the mo-
tions. Tuesday, Abraham Lincoln's
birthday, is a legal holiday.
The motions were made., on behalf
of Frank D. McKay, Grand Rapids
politician; William H. MKeighan,
former Flint mayor; Fisher L. Lay-
ton, Flint politician, and Charles and
Earl J. Williams, former Detroit liq-
uor agents. They are accused by the
state of conspiring to corrupt the ad-
ministration of the state liquor law
between 1938 and 1940.
William Henry Gallagher of De-
troit, arguing for a directed verdict
on behalf of McKay, and former
State Supreme Court Justice Bert D.
Chandler, speaking for the other de-
fendants, declared that the state had
failed to show that a criminal con-
spiracy existed or that any of the de-
fendants had done anything unlaw-
ful.
Sigler, requesting time to prepare
his answer, told Judge John Simpson
that "The people believe they have a
strong conspiracy case and we believe
we have the duty of doing everything
we can to help the court make the
proper determination."
Judge Simpson said he would not
rule on any of the motions until ar-
guments are completed.

Construction on a mile-and-a-half
long bathing beach to relieve 40,090
from summer dog-days has begun
near Mt. Clemens, as the first of the
H-furon-Clinton park and parkway de-
velopment which will, when com-
pleted, make five Michigan counties
nicer to look at and live in.
According to Prof. H. 0. Whitte-
more, president of the citizen's asso-
ciation that originally sponsored leg-
islation responsible for the Huron-
Clinton Authority, negotiations for
the Huron-Clinton parkway to run,
through Ann Arbor, will be made in
this city some time next summer.
Scenic Parkwa y, B ach Phanned
The Authority, in Washtenaw,
Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Liv-
ingston counties with an annual in-
come of a million dollars, was set up
in 1940 to provide recreational ffa-
cilities for the Detroit metropolitan
area. A scenic parkway following the
routes of the huron and Clinton riv-
ers is being planned, with foot and bi-
cycle trails, youth hostel accommoda-
tions, and canoeing facilities.
The beach, now under construction,
is on Lake St. Clair near the mouth
of the Huron river. Two million cubic
yards of sand are being pumped out
of the lake to mnake a resort similar
to Jones Beach, near New York City.
In Ann Arbor, plans for the park-
way are still in the tentative stage,
with the University opposing a route
which would cut off University land
below 'U' Hospital and deprive the
Arboretum (of which Prof. Whitte-
more is director) of access to land
for expansion. The University pro-
posal would have the parkway. com-
ing into the city from Ypsilanti on
the south side of the Huron, cross
the river at Geddes Road, go up what
Lcal ha
is now the Patawamonie Trail or Ful-
ler Road, recross the river at the
Fuller St. bridge near the Municipal
golf course. The parkway would then
go under Broadway and the Ann Ar-
bor railroad, leaving the city, out
past the bathing beach east and north
of the river to the Whitemore Lake
bridge.
University objections to the other
route are based on the loss of pros-
pective University property, the great-
er cost of grade separations to cross
State Street, and the possibility of
(Jut-of-town parking and picnicking
in the Arboretum.
Taxation To Provide Lands
The Authority is also beginning a
Slrge park halfway between Detroit
and Lansing near Oakland City which
will include the largest aritificial in-
land lake in Southeastern Michigan.
Revenue for the million dollar in-
come is raised by a % mill tax (25c
per $1,000 assessment), costing the
average person in the area 35c a year.
The Authority is "ad hoc," created
the local government units which
could not operate so extensive a plan
working individually.
To Build Ne
By The Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 11--
Croil Hunter, president of Northwest
Airlines, said today the company
plans construction of a group of
headquarters and maintenance build-
ings costing between seven and eight
million dollars with their lbcation
depending on the "city where condi-
tions offer us the best inducements."
Hunter said that in addition to
Minneapolis-St. Paul, the company
is considering New York and Newark,
Chicagoa, Detroit, Milwaukee, Billings,
Mont., Spokane ancd Seattle-Tacoma.
Construction work is due to start next
fall. From 95 to 125 acres will be re-
quired.
By "inducements," Hunter said
he meant a favorable labor market,
a reasonable tax situation, proximity
of the maintenance base to main-
tenance supply stores, a favorable
attitude by the state's aeronautics
commission, and a favorable attitude
on the part of the community.
Between $1,000,000 and $1,250,000
will be spent by the company, Hunter
said, for a new hangar at Seattle-
Tacoma's Bow Lake Airport and a
similar amount for a hangar at eith-
er Newark or the New Idlewild Field
in New York. Facilities also will be
built eventually at Detroit, and work
already is underway on a hangar
enlargement project at Chicago.

hoped the United Nations could
maintain world peace and Stritch
added that the United States should
provide relief for all war-stricken
nations.
To Arrie Tomnor"roW
Archbishops Francis Spellman of
New York, Archbishop John Glennon
