Up unchallenged control of the Atlantic Ocean by the free world is democracy s great advantage today against the rising Power of communism in Eurasia adm Jerauld Wright told the Navy league Here. We control the Atlantic and the soviets Challenge it the com Oriander Iri chief of the Atlantic Fleet said. If we were to lose this control the Iron curtain would be pushed against the one fathom curve sur rounding America and surround ing her seafaring allies he declared. Sea As Battlefield Wright who also Heads All Allied naval forces under the North Atlantic treaty Organiza Tion stressed the importance of the sea As a Battle area in the atomic age. The sea offers tremendous advantages to the free world in this Type of warfare he said. It can be conducted Remote from the homelands involved. The Fleet itself is less Vulner Able to atomic attack because it can resort to unlimited dispersal. Boosts punch of f f e n s i v e 1 a the Atlantic Broadens the base of our delivery of the sea lanes for Commerce Between the democracies is imperative Wright said and is a Factor which has been largely denied the landlocked forces of described the creation of nato As. The principal step for Ward in the defense of North America Europe and the Atlantic Ocean. The three Are interdependent the Admiral said. One cannot be effectively controlled without the others. No one area can have next major decision he told the assembler group of civilian Navy supporters and former officers of the Fleet and Marine corps must be in the use of atomic weapons by the fleets of the Allied nations. Lab studies prove there is organic life on other planet of creates its own Mars on Earth by North american newspaper Alliance san Antonio Tex. The sur Vival and growth of Earth Organ isms on an artificial Mars have just been reported described by it col John d. Fulton of the air Force school of aviation Medicine not Only May explain the Tele Scop locally observed Green pastures of the neighbouring planet but make certain that at least Low forms of terrestrial life Ean exist there. The work is being continued to find some higher form of life which would make possible human survival without the highly difficult requirement of frequent re Supply from the Earth. Fulton duplicated in his Laboratory the Martian environment so far As it is known or can be assumed from the most recent observations he told a world symposium on space physics and medi Cine under air Force sponsorship. The elements reproduced were air pressure loss than a fourth of that of the Earth air composition believed to be chiefly nitrogen moisture Content soil and night and Day temperature ranges. Actual composition of Martian soil is unknown but the Best guess is that it is formed from something quite like the Earth s red Sand whole Complex Ivas enclosed in air and moisture proof Glass jars and then the soil was inoculated with a Large variety of Ter linking Kaiserslautern with the world Poitiers Ausa head Poitiers France special col fielder p.

The station is a one Man opera Tion and that Man is m sgt. R. L. Martin who runs it for Western area come. As Martin puts it the station is More than a Means of communication for Amateur radio men. It is geared to function As an auxiliary to the signal corps in the event of an was two years ago that Ama. Yanks Honor German War dead Tours at the various caverns in Kaiserslautern joined Mars an organized a Mars club station. It is this station which is still functioning but now under the Aegis of Waco. It is open 5%days a week and closed on sundays. There Are 21 Ham radio operator sin the Kaiserslautern area All of them army men some officers and some in the enlisted grades. The meet once a month either in Kaiserslautern or at Ramstein air base which also has an Amateur club with Many members. Martin said there Are 75 Amateur radio operators in both areas. Strict military radio procedures followed on the Mars station Here for training purposes Marl in says. Messages Are sent for All army personnel but Only qualified operators May transmit them. Joint program Mars is an organization of and for licensed Amateur radio operators who Are interested in military radio communications says a pamphlet issued by the organization. It is described As a joint program under jurisdiction of the chief signal officer of the army depart ment and the director of communications and electronics of the department of the air Force. Policy is determined jointly but operational control is separate. Martin said that for a person to col w. R.

Mathematics and science studies Are the educational focus in the Safe dependents schoo system this school year officials said. Become a member of Mars he must hold a valid Federal communications commission Amateur open Ator s License and also a valid Amateur License issued by German authorities. To obtain the German License he must pass an examination and pay a fee of 36 Marks $8.59 with an additional 1 Mark 24 cents for the first year. Then he applies for membership in Mars and is As signed a Call sign As an operator. Martin is with Waco s 7778th signal so co.

The Experiment has been continued for 10 months. The various organisms have died off at different times but three have survived and apparently prospered. Those Are two types 61 bacteria and an unidentified spore forming organism. These three not Only have survived but have multiplied. Next step the next step will be with higher forms of Earth life algae lichens and mosses. These survive under the most extreme conditions on this planet. It is highly prob Able Fulton said thai most will perish but a few will survive thus adding another rung to life s lad Der. We have shown for the first Lime he said that terrestrial living forms can exist under a combination of certain conditions considered to be present on even if higher Plant forms can be proven Able to exist he pointed out it does no mean that Man on Mars can feed himself. The Plant matter would consist essentially of cellulose which the human organism cannot digest. Plant in nor on Earth this Plant Mailer is broken Clown into edible products by a Small group of microorganisms. If these Ever became extinct life on Earth for All higher animals would be impossible. There is 710 Way of demonstrating at present whether these microorganisms Are found on Mars. The problem becomes even More Complex for higher plants and animals in the extremely hostile Martian environment. They May exist Fulton pointed out but they must be radically different from Earth forms because they will have Arisen under an entirely Dif Ferent order of evolution. Importance of Carbon the chief element on which the Earth s higher forms of life depend is Carbon extracted by Green plants from the atmosphere by the Basic life process of photo synthesis. On Mars the vital sub stance May not be Carbon. It has been shown that life based on Sil Ica is possible so that Glass animals might be found roaming Mars. There is the suggestion Fulton said that higher forms of the Earth s Plant life might lie. Grown on Mars in water cultures. The difficulty is that Large amounts of water would be required and water although it must exist in Small amounts is scarce on the planet.
