Voyage To Venus llope olSludenis

GRAHAMSTOWN, South Africa. Aug. 16 - tCP) —There ls n small grqup of students here who are only too eager to be on board the

first rocket ship for a WW8" through space.

They are senior students at Rhodes University C011989i “m

for more than six "1001-115 1'1"“? been studying the 90551111111!’ “l ititerplanetary flight '1‘11'~’Y ._ Mlle that within a few year! $119!“ have a chance to volunteer f0r the firs; mp away from the world.

They 90m admit that the first voyage may be a one-way affair.

The groups study has been done privately. having no connection with university courses. A mltlll source of information has been technical material from the United States.

Ono of the conclusions reached by the students is that the easiest planet to be reached is Venus, not Mars.

“A much smaller velocity would be necessary to escape from the earth's gravity and reach Venus than to travel to Mars." a science student said, "This ls because s spaceship travelling inward through the solar system, toward the sun. would be able to fall to its destin- atlon with relatively little expen- diture of power. Travelling to Mars would require noticeably more than the normal escape vel- ocity from Earth of seven miles per second.

“The reverse would be true oi the return trip, which would be infinitely more difficult from Ven- us than from Wars. For this rea- son, the first trip to Venus is like- ly t.o be one way only."

Members of the group were not perturbed by recent reports from the United States Air Force school of aviation medicine that space travellers would float helplessly in

the air and have difficulty in eat- inrz. “ agnetlc shoes would make it possible to walk normally about the deck and it. would be quite easy to produce a small. but ad- equate. artiflclal gravity field by rotating the ship about its own axis. The inside of the ship's outer wall would then become the floor

"I couldn't be ungrateful,” relates. And besides the contest officials hold lho money in escrow for Bess and she was allowed to draw checks on it.

There were compensations, of course. A six-week vaudeville tour at $1.000 a week, for instance. Bess played the piano (in evening dross) and then came out in a bathing suit and joked with the comedian. "I don't remember the lines." she says, “but they were pretty bad."

Continued Studies

Meanwhile. she was using up the scholarship, continuing her piano studim at Lafollettc School of Music and studying conducting at Columbia. In May 1946 she played a concert at Carnegie Hall.

"Of course, l never would have had the chance to play at Carn- cgic if I hadn't been Miss Ameri- ca. But. the reviews were very nice and the press didn't say anything about bathing suits."

Later, she appeared at Carnegie with the Philadelphia symphony, as a flute player. Again she was well received.

Bess, who was born in the Bronx, a. daughter of an interior decorator. had just finished Hun- ter College when she was entered in the Miss America contest. She was 2i.

for out Whittington

IDNDON, Aug. 16 - (GP) - Plans to excavate in search of Dick Whittlngtows tomb. believed to be lying under the north wall of St. Michael Paternoster Royal Church in the city of London, are being made by a band of people headed by 51-year-old Canon J.A. Douglas.

A church was originally built on the site in 132i. During Dick whittingtonm term of office as ‘first lord mayor of London he lived next door and was buried under the north wall.

In time he came to be regarded as n saint and people made pil- grimagcs from all over England to touch the tomb in the ho of be- ing cured of diseases. T o auth- orities, however, frowned on this custom and an organ was built over the tomb.

Canon Douglas, one-time pro- fessor at London University, is anxious to bring the tomb to light.

"It is remarkable that there is not. one monument in london to a rnan who might be called the father of the city of InOIldOTl." he said. "If our plan is successful I should like to soc some sort of monument erected - a beautiful garden or a great picture - to make the church one of London's historical sights."
