ASTRONOMERS PLAN '

AMERICAN PLANS TOO FANTAS. Alc, GERMAN DOCTOR
 STATES

BERLIN, Dec. 30. [P)-An attempt to hit the moon with a bomb is the announced purpose of a newly founded astronomical society of which Dr. Franz Hoeff, noted Viennese astrono- mer, is one of the leading members.
 Discounting American plans for shooting man up to the moon as a "bit too fantastic" Dr Hoeff is quoted as saying the society will at- tempt next year to obtain virtually the same scientific results with light bomb rocket weighing about one ton. The moon rocket on which engineers and savants are now working is de- signed to reach the moon in 10 hours, propelled through space at the rate of little more than six miles a sec ond by series o powder explosions within. When the rocket lands the impact is intended to explode huge chemical bomb, the blaze of which is to be sufficiently brilliant to be ob- served from the earth.
