Wufch That
Ice. Anglers

LANSING, Mich. - There is
ice on many lakes which is GO
ing to deceive anglers opening
the winter fishing season too
early. the conservation depart
ment warns. Season normally
does not get well underway un-
til January.
To keep fishermen from join
ing the fish below the ice, the
department urges that crusts be
thoroughly tested before setting
up shantieS. Those who venture
out on the ice first also should
remember that other groups will
follow.
Alternate freezing and melt
ing of lake covers can provide
unrelished thrills, especially
early in the season in southern
Michigan. Lakes with spring.
fed streams can trap the un-
wary, too.
The department reminds win
ter fishermen that hook and line
now and spear beginning Janu-
ary 1 are legal fishing tackle. A
maximum of two lines or two
single rods and lines utilizing
any combination of hooks total
ing not more than four is per-
misSible. Snag or grab hook cam
not be used, nor can firearms or
explosives.
Spearing for carp, suckers,
mullet, sturgeon, muskellunge,
red horse and northern pike
also may be tried i'm specially
designated trout lakes and trout
ponds, or portions thereof, dur
ing Jan uary and February.
Those portions of the Au Sable.
Boardman, Black, PreSque Isle.
Manistee. Pine and Chocolay
and other rivers open to spear
ing can be checked with local
officers.
Other ice fishing information
can be found i'm the fish law di-
gest which accompanies the new
fishing license required start
ing January 1. u4

Scientist Believes Satellite Base
1000 Miles In Space Possible

Der raft. These sections could be
fired UP separately and collapsed
Then men working in pressurized
space suits could initiate them and
join them together into a giant
donghnut 200 feet in diameter.
The station could be made to
rotate slowly around its hub to
generate a synthetic gravity for
personnel stationed in the dough-
nut rim. The rim would be pres
surized and air monditioned.
This station actually would be
an orbit circling the earth at a
speed of some $1,000 miles an
hour.
Might Return to Earth
The rocket could return to
earth simply by reducing its
speed below the pull of gravity.
If it were equipped with wings,
it could land.
Trips to the moon and nearby
planets, DIR. Won Braun said rise
considerably fewer problems
than the design Of ships capable
of reaching the velocity of an or
bit.
Space ships refueling at the
space platform, he said, would
need to increase their speed only
$500 feet a second to reach the
moon.
1T can therefore be stated that
once an artificial satellite has be-
come a reality, interplanetary
voyages will not be far away" he
said.
Other scientists, however, point
ed out in the book that medicine
has not caught up with problems
space travel would raise.
There are problems of weight
lessness out beyond the pull of
gravity the danger of cosmic radi-
alton and collisions with meteors

The farthest point of this ellipse
the point at which the space
rocket would halt its flight from
earth is LOIS miles from earth's
surface.
At this point the rockets speed
would be only slightly less than
that of an orbit circling the earth.
The rockets motors would be
cut in to accelerate the ship to
orbit speed.
Orbit speed is the point where
a circling objects velocity-its
pull away from earth--is matched
exactly by the pull of gravity
At this point the rocket would
be circling the earth freely like
the moon. Without using any adj
ditional power, the rocket would
circle the earth's surface ecery
two hours.
The space station could be
built of flexible plastic, like rub

er than the V-2 rocket. 1t would
start straight up, but Its path
soon would start fitting. When the
fuel in the first section was ex-
hausted, that section would drop
off and the motor of the second
section would roar into action.
The third section, carrying a 30
ton payload, would take off alone
the instant the fuel in the second
booster was gone.
The nose section would be only
so miles above the earth when
its fuel was cut off but it would
be streaking along at 27,0O0 feet
a second and by then in path
horizontal to the earth.
At this great speed, the rockets
terrific momentum would be grea-
ter than the pull Of gravity and
it would sail out into space in
