Miniature Cannon Will
Be Fired Off on the Moon
BERKELEY. Calif. Iff* — TJ.S.
scientists are developing a minia
ture cannon to be fired off on the
moon.
The idea is to jiggle the moon
with artificial moonquakes in case
the moon doesn’t naturally have
shudders like the earth does. Shock
waves from natural or man-made
quakes can supply a lot of vital
information about the moon.
The miniature motor cannon
would be landed via spacecraft.
Already tested in the Mojave
Desert, it would fire a projectile
tor a mile across the moon’s sur
face. A wire attached to the mortar
shell would string out a series of
j small explosive charges, set to go
j off automatically later at a time
signal. The wire would also meas
ure how far each charge had land
ed from the seismometers — earth
quake-measuring instruments —
set up on the moon.
The plans were described Tues
day to the International Union of
Geodesy and Geophysics by Dr.
Robert Kovach of the California
Institute of Technology’s Seismo
logical Laboratory.

Police Seek Identification
Of Dynamite Blast Victim
BUTTE, Mont. Uf) — Dental
charts and two charred fingers
will be studied by authorities to
make positive identification of a
man killed in the explosion of
3,500 pounds of stolen dynamite
Saturday night.
The blast rocked a 10-mile area
around Butee, shatering windows
as much as a mile away.
Tentative identification of the
blast victim was made by Coroner
Andy Aleksich. He said the dead
man was believed to be Emil
Guay, 34, of Butte. An inquest is
scheduled Thursday.
Dentists in the Butte area will
be checked and the fingers will
be sent to laboratories of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation.
Evidence now indicates only one
man was killed in the blast. Earl
ier, authorities feared as many as
five men could have died in the
explosion.
Tentative identification of Guay
was made on the basis of finding
a license plate and the hood of a
car apparently owned by Guay. He
has been missing since the explo
sion.
The dynamite exploded less than
200 feet from a group of law of
ficers who had been tipped off
dynamite thieves would make an
appearance. The officers were clos
ing in on a group of men handling
the dynamite when the blast oc
curred.
