Inner Earth
Study Is Set
By Scientists

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. / (AP).-
An ambitious international
study involving 20 nations and
costing $3l million may unlock
some of the secrets of the
earth's birth and history.
The project was discussed
yesterday at the annual au-
tumn meeting of the National
Academy Of Sciences.
Called the Upper Mantle
Project" the program calls for
geophySicists TO explore the
outermost 900 miles Of the
earth's solid-rock interior in
the three-year project.
"A knowledge OF the struc-
ture. composition and physical
state of the mantle is extremely
important to an understanding
OF the genesis and history of
the whole earth" a report by
the academy's Geophysics Re-
search Board said.
I'm recent years. II has be-
come apparent that an inten-
sive and co-ordinated program
OF exploration into this region,
which still is mostly uncharted,
would more effectively yield
useful information concerning
that portion Of the universe
directly beneath our feet than
the continuation Of a program
OF random investigations" tho
report said.
The mantle extends 2,00C
miles below the earth's thir
outer crust and accounts fol
more than 30 per cent OF the
earth's total volume.

OK for Public Schools

NAPA, Calf, Dec. (AP).-
Napa County counsel Daniel X.
York has ruled that Christmas
programs in public schools are
legal if they are not used pri-
marily as a means of religious
instruction.
Mr.. York issued his decision
yesterday in answer to a chal-
lenge from DR.. Abraham Linn,
a psychiatrist at Napa State
Hospital and father of a stu
dent at Phillips Elementary
School.
DR.. Linn said he asked Mr.
York to prepare an opinion as
a result of the United States
Courts ruling that authorize
ton of prayer in New York
schools was unconstitutional.
! He said he would consult ar
attorney after seeing the opin.
ion to decide whether to takt
legal action.
MY feeling is that religious
training or programs are un
constitutional" DR.. Linn said
II questioned the program onl,
on a legal basis. l am no
objecting on a religious basis.

Gen. de Gaulle alone is a

The public relations officers
in European chancellories-

only as dispensers Of news

usually as a convenience for
reporters in their need for
facts and figures.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Dec. /
(AP).-A group of Americas
leading scientists would like to
declare Mars and other planets
"off limits" for space explorers,
until it is determined whether
life exists there.
They warn that premature
landings on other planets might
contaminate them with space
craft-borne organisms from
earth-a result which they said
would be lone Of the greatest
crimes in scientific history"
The warning against contain
ination of other planets was
contained in a summary Of the

ing scientists who met in Iowa

week study Of space research
programs.
DR.. James Van Allen, head

ments, was host to the study
which was sponsored by the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences.
Full recommendations of the
summer study, which was
closed to the public, will be
published later this year by the

The purpose of the study was
to analyze the United States

to the National AeronauticS

should take, and areas ir
which greater efforts should be
