Chicago August 28 UP R L Farnsworth president of the United States Rocket Society urged that the United States occupy the moon to become the No 1 power in the atomic age.

He cited cost at 1 000 000 and warned moon bases could bomb Earth and be protected from counter bombardment, proposing a two year build time for a man carrying rocket if funded. He highlighted benefits for Americans and described the moon as a new frontier with weather forecasting observatories and health resort potential.
