WASHINGTON — Sen. William
Proxmire, D-Wis., wants to call a
halt to federal financing of the Na
tional Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration’s studies of the moon
rocks.
NASA already has spent more
than $41.2 million studying the
rocks, said Proxmire in a statement
Sunday. He said he opposes a re
quest for another $5.7 million.
Proxmire is chairman of the ap
propriations subcommittee on
NASA.
Lunar sample research should be
done by the National Science Foun
dation rather than NASA, Proxmire
said, calling the additional federal
funds “inappropriate , unjustified.”
Proxmire said he had been told
much of the funding was being used
to train young scientists and provide
equipment for laboratories, and
said:
“I do not in any way mean to show
disrespect for these motives. How
ever, we have programs for training
graduate students. We have pro
grams for providing research equip
ment to universities. NASA’s moon
rock program should not be used for
these purposes.”

Seven divers were playing a
laminated version of Monopoly
today at the bottom of a 10-foot
deep pool trying to break what
they believe to be the world’s re
cord — 22 hours — for playing
Monopoly while submerged.
Twelve divers, raising money
to combat muscular dystrophy,
eased into an indoor pool at Col
orado Divers World in Denver at
2:30 p.m. Sunday, planning to
stay under until 2:30 p.m. Mon
day. Another diver checks their
vital signs every three hours,
motioning players up if their
temperatures dip to 94 degrees.
Two divers. Bob Dickerson
and his son, Scott, both of De
nver, surfaced at 7:15 p.m. Sun
day. Bemie Mathewson of De
nver came up at 12:55 a.m.
Monday, and two other Denver
men — Mike Litzo and Dennis
Cleary — hit the surface at 2:47
a.m. Their temperatures were
raised with a sauna and warm tea
and food.
The divers periodically spell
each other at weighted tables
around the weighted four-player
table, and when not playing,
they read laminated books or
write messages to each other on
special pads.
The dice are thrown again and
again and again — the contes
tants go to Jail, directly to Jail,
without collecting $200; they
visit Marvin Gardens, walk the
Boardwalk, take a ride on the
Reading, and wait for the unfor
tunate to land on a Park Place
crowded w'ith hotels and tiny
green houses.

Old songs never die and some
them don’t even fade away.
There was a time not so long ago
when rock and pop groups would
not be caught dead with any music
from other generations.
Maybe times are changing.
Some old songs played in fascinat
ing new arrangements may be heard
on “Silver Blue” (Epic 35474). They
are “Tennessee Waltz,” “So Rare,"
“Alexander’s Ragtime Band," “Yel
low Rose ofTexas,” “Jambalaya” and
the fairly recent “Light My Fire.
Whether the “Silver Blue” group
is playing country or pop, the music
is refreshing. The female vocalizing
is sharp and the instrumentals im
part a sense of newness to each
song.
And a young Polish jazz pianist
w'ho is making big waves has in
cluded some oldies in an album re
leased w’ith his name as the title,
“Adam Makowicz” (Columbia
35320).
He has taken such established
oldies as ”1 Got It Bad and That
Ain’t Good," "All the Things You
Are," "Over the Rainbow,” “Tea for
Tw'o” and “Cherokee” and dressed
them up nicely with some classy*
keyboarding.
John Hammond, who discovered
such recording stars as Billie Holi
day, Count Basie, Bob Dylan and
Bruce Springsteen, said recently
that the Ad am Makowicz album was
one of the liest he has ever been
involved with.
Makowicz, like many other bril
liant jazz pianists, was influenced by
Art Tatum. He also has leaned heav
ily on the stylings of Erroll Garner,
Keith Jarrett and Earl Hines.
Milestone — Nancy Wilson began
her 25th year as a singer last spring in
Pittsburgh. The sultry thrush
started her career a quarter of a cen
tury ago in Chicago and a few years
passed before she began recording.
But Nancy made up for lost time
with almost 30 hit albums. HkI®
recent is Music on My 1 \e\
(Capitol SM AS-11786). To cel da
the event, Capitol put the li cb
silver-colored album. All
— from “I’m Gonna Let Ya 6 Fr
