Mars Atmosphere Found Lacking Water Vapor and Oxygen
Dr C Kiess and Corliss led a United States Weather Bureau team at Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii to scan Mars atmosphere with advanced spectroscopic equipment. They found no measurable water vapor or oxygen, though they caution that life on Mars cannot be ruled out and a frost layer could mask traces.

Scientists Study Mars Atmosphere With Spectrograph Observations
Kiess and colleagues photographed spectra of Earth Mars and the Moon using two diffraction gratings to compare atmospheric absorption bands. They found no definite oxygen or water vapor bands on Mars, implying any such gases are too scarce to detect spectroscopically. The Mars expedition, led by E C Slipher, observes the south polar cap shrink as spring arrives and notes blue green regions suggesting possible life.
