States.
"The centuries-old struggle of the
Irish people for self lf-determination and

grave concern to the civilized world.

WORCESTER. Mass, Jan 19-Thc
posslbllIty of photographing in space

ASSOCIATED Press to day by Dr. Robert
II. Goddard, associate professor Of

ATTENTION has been given to the chance
that his rocket with a flash powder at
'achment may hit and illuminate the
dark quarter of the moon. For the
present the exploration of the atmos-
phere IS the thing to be aimed at In
signed statement Dr. Goddard says:
since the announcement by the
SmItnsonlan Institution n few days ago
l nave been interviewed a number Of
times and on each occasion have been
as uncommunicatve as possible. The
result has consequently been number
OF published articles that were not all
that could be desired, and I feel that
! owe 1T to myself, as we'll as to the
institution, to make the situation clear
IN the first place. too much atten-
ton has been concentrated on the pro
posed flash powder experiment and too
little on the exploration of the atmos-
phere. My reason for saying this is
not because I believe the former is en-
tlrely unrcalizabe
IN fact, if were to speculate
boldly. instead Of too timdly. | would
say that, based upon equally sound
physical principles, is the possibility
OF obtaining photographs in space. by
an apparatus guided by photo sensitive
cells (to guide it toward, or near, a
luminous body. a method already pro
posed for directing high altitude an
paratus), precautions being taken to
insure a sufficiently safe and conspicu-
Gus landing on the return.

on matters concerning which there is
little experimental data would. of
course, be unwse.
p" me point is this: whatever inter

mc'hod that has been proposed, other
than the purpose for which it was IN

taken without first exploring the

ANY rocket apparatus for great
elevations must tirst be tested at vari-
Gus moderate attitudes; also. a knowl
