Lunar Mappers Spot Possible Volcanoes By WILLIAM HOYT The Lowell Observatory here today announced that three apparent eruptions possibly volcanic in nature were observed here this week on the surface of the Moon. The sightings were made by two stenographers of the U.S. Air Forces Aeronautical Chart and Information Center (ACIC) working at Lowell, who were attracted to the strange disturbances by their distinctive reddish color on the usually colorless surface of the Moon. Dr.

John Hall, Lowells director, said that the report of the eruptions will probably create quite a stir in the scientific community. The apparent eruptions were observed over a period of 20 minutes Tuesday night (Oct. 29) by cartographer- By MURRAY SINCLAIR TUCSON (AP) The note was from a Navajo Indian. Inside was a dry, thin, podlike object. This, said the note, was the heart of his tribes virtual im-hunity to cancer.

Dr. Willis R. Brewer, dean of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Arizona, and Dr. Mary E. Caldwell, professor emeritus of bacteriology, were fascinated and skeptical.

Certainly the cancer rate of the Navajos is remarkably low, Dr. Brewer said. And if tribal medicine men knew of secret herbs that prevent or cure cancer, white scientists hadnt been able to find them. The thin object, as it turned out, wasnt the heart of anything. Instead, it was the liver of a rattlesnake useless in the battle against cancer Dr.

Caldwell wasnt surprised. observers James Greenacre and Edward Barr of the ACICs Lunar Observation Office through Lowells 24-inch refracting telescope which the ACIC has been using for two years to map the Moon.

About one per cent of the plants have properties that warrant further investigation.

Dozens of herbs reportedly used by the Navajos and other Indian tribes of the southwest for the treatment or prevention of cancer and other diseases have been tested. None has offered any promise. For years Yerba del Manza a plant that grows in profusion along irrigation ditch banks has been described in whispers as a certain cure for cancer, Letters have come into the Arizona laboratory from Europe and other parts of the world begging for the magic extracts from Yerba del Manza. Possibly the Pima Indians know what they are doing when they use the plant to treat childrens colic, but it is useless in the battle against cancer. It is not even among the one per cent of the plants that indicated further study is justified, Dr.

Brewer said. The unfounded rumors about the plants magical qualities are distressing. There is no such cure. Dr. Caldwell is a slight, grayhaired woman who came out of retirement to sprearhead the plant research in 1956.

Her husband, who had headed the Arizona zoology department, had died from lung cancer a short time before.

The three areas formed an oblique triangle in the Aristarchus region with two of them about 16 miles apart and the third some 40 miles away from the other two at what would be the apex of the triangle and almost on the" rim of Aristarchus crater itself.

Aristarchus is a medium-sized lunar crater, located above the so-called Oceanus Procel-larium (Ocean of Storms) and what on earth would be west of the Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains), two major fiat dark areas of the visible lunar surface. Vulcanism on the Moon has long been a subject of scientific controversy, with only three instances of suspected volcanic activity having been reported in the past decade, including a spectographic observation by the Russian astronomer, Kozyrev. Two of these earlier reports involved the Aristarchus region, but these have not been generally accepted as valid by the concensus of world astronomical opinion. Kosyrevs observation, made in the fall of 1959, involved the Alphonsus region, which is just below dead center of the full Moons face, and is considered valid by som astronomers while being questioned by others.

Either buy out the old with a permit or try to prove the permit holder is not giving proper service.

To date, Arizona has 38 permits. Thirteen of these are in the Phoenix area. One prospcteiv permit buyer said he was quoted a $50,000 figure but rejected it. Champion for breaking the present system is Max Trouber-man of Phoenix, who seeks a household goods hauling permit. His recent hearing before the Corporation Commission saw his application rejected when five lawyers for the 13 Phoenix permit holders objected.

PHOENK (AP) Trucking permits the Arizona Corporation Commission issues for $25 are now being sold for from $2,500 to $25,000. The situation has been likened to sale of liquor licenses prior to 1961, when a shortage resulted in licenses being sold for as much as $50,000. State law limits the number of trucking permits that may be issued and rates are set to protect license holders. Jack a commission chairman, declined comment Thursday.

The housing will rise 27 feet from the top of Mars Hill, just southwest of Lowells main build ing, and the dome of the 20-inch telescope will rise 17 feet above the housing a total of 44 feet from ground level.

Eriksen, the new commander of the U.S. Air Forces Aeronautical Chart and Information Center which is currently mapping the moon at Lowell Observatory here, made a brief two-day inspection of the ACIC facilities and other scientific installations in Flagstaff yesterday and today. A prime stop for the new ACIC chief, who flew in Wednesday afternoon from his headquarters in St. Louis, was the housing for Lowell Observatory's new 20-inch triplet refractor telescope which, when it is in operation sometime after the first of the year, will be the major instrument in the ACICs moon mapping program. Col.

Eriksen was greeted at Lowell by the observatorys sole trustee, Roger L.

The two dead men had taken off at 4 p.m. from Winslow Airport on what they said was to be a routine hop to check some potential hunting areas.

CAP officials, after seeing the wreckage, said that Clark, who was the piiot, was apparently flying low and stalled out, spinning into the dry lake bed and burying parts of the plane in the deep mud there.
