United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Army scientists looked con- ~ fidently ahead today to vast explorations in solar space with

radar.

It is now possible, they believe, that radar-controfled

planets. The space ships will electronically gather and transmit to earth data thus far beyond man’s ken.

Army signal corps enginee

already have bounced radip pulses of extremely high frequency and energy against the moon.

the speed of light, these radio impulses were recorded on instruments at the Evans Signal Laboratory, Belmar, N. J. For the first time the army engineers have demonstrated certainly that ultra high frequency radio waves can penetrate the ionosphere—the electrified outer areas of the earth's atmosphere beyond which ordinary radio waves cannot go. Hope to Contact Mars : They hope next to establish radar contact with one of the planets— possibly Mars, the fascinating red globe whirling 35,000,000 miles beyond earth in the sun's system. The radar round-trip to Mars, at 186,000 miles a second, ‘would take about 6% minutes. Signal corps scientists achieved

238,857 miles away, on Jan. 10. The pulses completed the round trip !n| about 23 seconds. They used a msgdernized radar set directly gescended from the less powerful model which spotted Japaness planes 132 miles from Pearl Harpor on Dec. 7, 1041. By the time .they realized what they had accomplished—and had repeated it several times to make certain they were ndt mistaken—it was a Ts that tremendous new

Beyond a Doubt The signal corps had been studying “the problem of reaching other celestial bodies with radar” for several years. But when the moon contact was, actuslly made, Maj. Gen.

It Sug gested these peacetime possibilities: ONE: .

Housing Shortage ?—Orson

Sees Solution on Moon, Mars,

NEW YORK, Jan. 25 (U, P.).— The universe, said Orson Welles today, is getting awfully small, and very wonderful. Call scientists dreamers if you will. Believe nothing can keep the world from going to. pieces. But Welles believes the army's contact with the moon may solve the housing shortage and the problem of how , to keep junior from getting underfoot. Welles, who

“MR. WELLES, the army has made contact with the moon,” said the reporter who sought him out in his hotel room. “Are you kidding?” said Welles, “No,” said the reporter. “The army has made radar contact from Belmar, N. J.” Mr. Welles felt for a chair. He made his imaginary little men land at nearby Princeton, N. J, in that famous broadcast. “And I was the fool who thought my broadcast was hokuth,” he said. » » » SO ENDS an era. Welles commented that the time was gone when all a mother had to do was worry about what deviltry Johnny- was up to in the back yard. Now she must worry about his catching a cold romping around in inter-planetary space without his rubbers, “I think the day will come when children will play in space, as they do in backyards,” Mr. Welles said.

“There'll be no need to fear {Mars or the moon,” he said. “In- | stead of Mars attacking us, it will | be a real estate subdivision.” ” ” » THE ARMY signal corps’ forecast of space ships flying thousands of miles through the fonosphere made Mars a much more pleasant place to think about on dark nights, he said. “We now realize the possibility of inter-planétary excursions.
