Planet Hitting Moon
Dug Mare Imbriunl,
DR.. Urey Explains
BY the Assoeiofed Press

CLEVELAND, Dec. 27.-Sud-
denly there was hell on the moon.
A planet, only 100 miles in
diameter, shot in from space and
smashed into the moons great
yellow face.
1t blew up hundreds of miles
Of the crust, created a hot deep
sea of lava, shot bomb fragments
skittering out to dig deep fur
rows.
1t was hell without sound. For
the moon is without air, and rides
the heavens always in dead
silence.
Best Known Sea.
This planet-moon collision Gre
ated the best known of the moons
seas, Mare (sea) Imbrium, DR..
Harold c. Urey of the University
of Chicago's Institute for Nuclear
Studies suggested today to the
American Astronomical Society
at Case Institute for Technology.
DR.. Urey, a famous atomic
scientist, studied the moon to
learn more about the abundance
Of chemical elements in o.
planets and the universe.
His report supports q theory
that the moons seas and craters
were formed by tiny planets or
asteroids flying in from space.
He gave details and estimates
backing up a dramatic account
Of the creation of Mare Imbrium
told by DR.. Ralph B. Baldwin
in recent book.
Vast, Dry Plains.
Both scientists believe Mare
1mbrium was the last of the great
seas to be created. These seas
actually are only vast, dry plains.
Only Mare Imbrium, near the
center of the moon, has a large
crater.
Since then, the face of the moon
has changed only slightly, DR..
Urey believes. The earth, moon
and other planets have swept the
heavens fairly clean of tiny
planets that come close enough
to collide.
DR.. Urey estimates the suicidal
little planet was 100 miles across,
big for such asteroids.
IT hit from the northeast, at
an angle. For an instant, by DR..
Baldwin's account, it dug only
a little hole, then it exploded to
rip the features you now can see
in Mare Imbrium.

10 South Korean Officers
Arrive for Sightseeing

Seventy South Korean Army
officers are sightseeing in Wash
ington today and tomorrow after
a three months training period at
Fort Benning, Ga. The officers
arrived here yesterday.
On leave for the holidays, they
are touring the States. Most of
them are from cities whose names
are familiar to Americans since
the Korean war began-Seoul,
Taegu, Pusan or Taejon.
Many of the officers have been
members of the Korean Army
since it was first established in
1948. They were trained by the
Japanese army and served as
members of the Korean constab-
ulary until the formation of the
Republic of Korea, when they be-
came a part of the new nations

The next chapter in q House
subcommittee inquiry into the
mysterious killing of Mai. VIII
liam v. Holohan, wartime Amerf-
can secret agent in Italy in 1914,
will star an Army officer who made
an on-the-spot investigation.
It was reliably learned today

parachuted with Maj. Holohan on
a secret mission, of having killed
him with the aid Of two Italians
In a statement earlier this year
the department said that Io-
Dolce Of Rochester, N. Y, had
made confession involving him
self and Icardi. formerly of Pitts
burgh.
LoDolce later repudiated the
confession and both men denied
any part in the Holohan death.
The Pentagon said there had
mad been no prosecution because
neither United States military nor
civil courts had Jurisdiction. Both
men had been honorably dis
charged from the Army.
Representative Cole, Republi-
can. of New York, member of the
House Armed Services Committee
urged an investigation of the story
OF Maj. Holohan's death. Chair
man Vinson named him and Rep
resentative Kilday, Democrat, of
Texas to a subcommittee to do
the job.
Mr.. Cole has held one close
door hearing with Michael Stern.

Investigators appealed to him for

was found.
Maj. Manfreidi is understood to
Ihave sought out all those in italy

Owners OF ''E" Bonds
Can Increase Value

Individual owners of Series "E"
U. S. Savings Bonds will be able to
realize a 1870 increase on their ori-
ginal investment by holding their
bonds for an addition 10 year peri
cd following maturity dates.
This was announced recently by
Willard Springer, Jr., Chairman of
the State Advisory Committee for
the U. S. Savings Bonds Division in
Delaware upon receipt of word that
the U. S. Senate has joined the
House in Congress in giving unani-
nous approval to the Treasury's
plan for handling maturing Series
'E" Savings Bonds beginning May
1, 1851. The Maturities Legislation
now goes to the White House for
President Truman's signature.
This action by Congress should
effectively brand as false any ru-
mOrs that owners of maturing Ser
les "E' Bonds will not receive full
payment of their bonds at maturity
if they so desire" said Mr. Spring
er. "The holder of maturing "E"
Bonds has the privilege of retain
ing them for another 10 year peri
cd, or any part thereof, but he is
under no obligation to do So"
Under this maturities legislation
a holder of Series "E' Bonds, now
known as Defense Bonds, will have
the choice of three options: Cd ac-
cepting cash, if he so desires. "E"
Bonds will continue to be cashable
at any time after go days following
issue date; or (2) continuing to
hold his present bond, with an auto
matte interest bearing extension.
Owners who exercise this exten-
sion privilege will receive 21a per
cent simple interest for all or any
part of the next 71a years, and in
terest during the final 21s years of
the extension will bring the total
interest to 90 per cent compound
ed; or CD exchange his matured
"E" Bond for a current income
Series &c" Savings Bond.
Under the extension plan a hold
er of a.Series "E" Bond with ma
turity value of $10O may elect TO
hold the bond for another 10 year
period. At the end of this second 10
years the owners will receive
$133.33 for his original investment
of $500.
At the U. S. Savings Bonds Divi-
sion office in the Old Customs
House, Alex d. Cobb, State Direc-
tor, said that he has received nu-
merous inquiries about the propO.
sed extension plan from individuals
and banks during recent weeks.
Apparently there are many own
ers of Series "E" Bonds who wish
to hold them for an extended peri
Od," said Mr.. Cobb. "This plan will
make this possible without the add
ed expense of issuing new bonds
The fact that the extended bonds
may be redeemed at straight 212
per cent interest at any time dur
ing the first 716 years of the ex-
tended maturity period will be a
decided factor in encouraging indi-
vidual investors to hold their
bonds"
The first Series "E" Bonds will
mature in May, and by that time
Mr.. Cobb will have printed instruc-
tiOns available for bond holders
and banks, explaining details of the
extension plan.

Garry Stamp For
Ducks In Pocket

Duck hunters were cautioned
this week by Lester Bailey, chief
Of the law enforcement section of
the Ohio WildIife Division, to
refrain from pasting their Fed
eral Migratory Waterfowl stamp
to the regular hunting licenses.
Bailey said that it not only will
inconvience the hunter il he
should want to hunt in another
state during the waterfowl sea-
son, but that it is a violation of
Ohio law. The violation occurs,
Bailey said, in that when the
stamp is pasted or fastened to
the license it covers some part
of the license and thereby makes
it illegible. He suggests that duck
hunters carry the stamp in their
billfolds or pockets. If placed in
the hunting license container
there is the possibility that it may
adhere by heat and pressure to
the license.

Drivers Should
Fear Dark More

Columbus, Ohio T. ]. Kauer
Director of the Ohio Department
of Highways, said today that mo-
torists on Ohio highways would
be safer if they were more afraid
of the dark
He pointed cut that : study
by the State Highway Depart
ment's Division of Traffic and
Safety indicated that a driver on
the highway after dark has only
one-third the chance of getting
home alive as has the driver
taking the same trip during day
light hours.
In 1850 about 56 per cent Of
the fatal traffic accidents on the
state highway system occurred at
night although night travel ac,
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1951-10-26

counted for only about one-third
of the daily travel On a travel
basis, the night death rate was
three times the day rate.
Safe night driving Kauer
said, depends on the drivers be-
ing particularly alert for pedes-
trians walking in or crossing the
road, dimming headlights for on
coming cars, keeping within range
of your headlights, guarding
against fatigue and abstaining
from driving after drinking"
He cautioned pedestrians to
take into account the fact that
the driver of the car whose head
lights may be seen long way
off may not see anyone walking
in or along the roadway until
only just a few yards off
IF you have to walk along the
highway, wear or carry something
white at night" Kauer advised.
Carry a flashlight knot a hand
kerchief on your arm or carry a
