Since school integration ordered

WASHINGTON — The orbits of
60 comets indicate they originated
from the explosion of a giant planet
that once existed between Mars and
Jupiter, an astronomer says.
Dr. Thomas C. Van Flandern of
the U.S. Naval Observatory here
said in an interview Tuesday that
computer plotting of the comet or
bits seems to confirm that the long-
theorizeef planet existed up to about
six million years ago.
“At that time, the planet exploded
— accounting for most, if not all
comets, the asteroid belt and many
meteorites,” Van Flandern said.
What could have caused such an
explosion is unknown.
The astronomer traced backward
the orbits of 60 comets that have
been seen only once from Earth.
These comets have orbits so large
that it takes millions of years for one
swing around the sun.
“There is a tendency for these or
bits to intersect at a common starting
point in the asteroid belt between
Mars and Jupiter,’ Van Flandern
said.
The asteroid belt is a ring of rocky
bodies orbiting the sun.
Three quarters of the orbits indi
cate the comets originated in that
area five million to seven million
years ago in a zone about 100 million
miles wide, he said.
The orbits don’t intersect exactly

at one spot, he said, because the
comets probably were disturbed by
the gravitational influences of the
galaxy and passing stars.
Van Flandern said his findings,
drawn from a year of calculations,
are in line with a theory proposed in
1972 by M. W. Overden, an as
tronomer at the University of British
Columbia.
Overde n calculated that a giant
planet 90 times the mass of Earth
once existed where the asteroid belt
is now. Three quarters of this planet
would have been made up of liquids
and gases surrounding a solid core.
“The asteroids may be the
broken-up core and the comets may
be the atmosphere or liquid,” Van
Flandern said.
The bodies in the asteroid belt —
ranging in size from a 5-mile diame
ter to thousands of smaller fragments
— contain only about 1-1,000 the
mass of Earth. For so little to re
main, Van Flandern said, the
planet’s explosion must have been so
violent as to fling much of its mate
rial out of the solar system.

Local businesses that bought ad
vertising in the ill-fated first version
of this year’s university directory
may be able to get their money back
through the Better Business Bureau
(BBB), a bureau official said yester
day.
A number of the advertisers in
that version have not yet been reim
bursed by the printing firm which
contracted to publish it. The firm,
BP Industries of Midland (BPI), did
not publish the directory because of
financial difficulties.
Leroy Balmain, with the local
BBB office, said, “They (advertisers)
should get in touch with me and we’ll
see what we can do about getting
their money hack.”
Balmain said he had already got
ten a reimbursement for one adver
tiser, a local insurance salesman. He
said he had no idea how many more
advertisers have not been reim
bursed.
A former BPI official said in
January that the firm had collected
$14,0()0-$18,000 in advance from
local advertisers.
One advertiser, M&W Restaur
ants, Inc., filed a civil suit last month
against BPI seeking reimbursement
for the $1,120 ad the restaurant
group brought in the directory.
Balmain said the BBB would not
file suit for an advertiser but could
probably get a settlement thn
