7 1 si Year No. !." ('. nul Wnn'tul h's Siimlay. itril 2' K lt7, f 5 Sections 0 lt' ." i." Viti Imsifffoi; Astronomer skeptical of alien life By Malcolm W. Browne New York Times NEW YORK A standing scientific assumption that the universe abounds with advanced, human- lik- e civilizations is encountering a challenge from a small but growing number of astronomers. While most scientists continue to believe that extraterrestrial in-telligence must be common in a cosmos filled with trillions and trillions of stars, dissenters increasingly are calling this assumption into question. In fact, they say, it is quite possible that our earthly civilization is the only one of its kind. A particularly strong attack on the established view of a populous universe has come from an American astronomer in the form of articles published by the specialist journal Icarus and a British quarterly. The Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society. The astronomer, Michael H. Hart of Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, has completed a computer analysis of hypothetical planets, sketching in the features they would seem to require to produce advanced civilizations like our own. His con-clusion is that, far from being common, civilized life must be exceedingly rare and the civilization that we have on Earth may even be unique. " The exobiologists and other believers in advanced extraterrestrial civilizations have estimated the number of those civilizations at anything between 50,000 to 1 billion or more," Hart said in an interview. " This study shows that such theoretical estimates are 100 times to 1,000 times toohign." Two basic planetary conditions are assumed to be necessary for the creation of life and the evolution of an advanced civilization, he said. The first condition is that prevailing temperatures must be moderate, and the second is that they must remain so continuously for at least 3.7 billion years the time that elapsed on Earth between the origin of life and the present level of evolution. " My computer simulation varied the brightness of hypothetical stars and varied the distance of hypothetical planets orbiting them," Hart said. " From this, calculations showed the proportion of planets that would fall within the continuously habitable zones required to produce life and let it evolve to an advanced civilization. The con-clusion of the study was that existing estimates of the number of planets that could produce advanced civilizations would have to be reduced by a factor of between 100 and 1,000. In fact, I think ours is the only advanced civilization in the universe and almost certainly the only one in our galaxy." In his earlier computer studies. Hart concluded that our Earth just barely made it as a cradle for life. At a distance of 93 million miles ( 148.8 million kilometers) from the sun, earthly temperatures have supported life. But if our Earth had been slung into an orbit only 5 percent closer to the sun, a runaway greenhouse effect would have turned the planet into something like Venus a cloud- shroud- ed planet with a surface tem-perature close to 900 F ( 482 C). If, on the other hand, we had been only 1 percent farther from the sun ( See HART, Page 12A) Petition leaders say home rule would streamline bureaucracy By Delia Fichtel and Harry Papineau Missourian staff writers The following is the first in a series of articles about home rule in Boone County. A picnic this afternoon that was planned as a celebration of the end of the home- rul- e petition drive may turn out to be just another stepping stone in the League of Women Voters' ef-fort to bring charter government to Boone County. Leaders of the petition drive had hoped to have the 7,040 signatures needed to authorize formation of a charter commission by now, but things have not gone quite so well as expected. The public picnic at 2 p. m. today at Cosmos Park will go on as planned, and organizers hope it will bring them closer to their goal. George Trial, co- chairm- an of the drive, said last week more than half the necessary signatures had been collected. He hopes that today's " hoopla" complete with refreshments and live entertainment I will attract the public attention I needed to finish the job. i Once the signatures are collected I and verified by the county clerk, the Boone County Circuit Court judges will appoint seven Democrats and seven Republicans to hash out the details of the county's new govern-mental structure. The charter commission will have one year to draw up a charter and submit it to the voters for approval. During that time, the commission will take a long hard look at the state statutes that shape county govern-ment and decide how well they meet the needs of Boone County. Under the current statutory ( See HOME, Page 14A) University makes plans for China exchange By Diana Dawson Missourian staff writer When the People's Republic of China opened its doors to the United States in January, a University task force began planning a student- facult- y exchange between the two countries. " Since we've normalized relations with China, arrangements can be made above the table, with greater ease," said Prof. Paul Wallace, associate director of the Center for International Relations and Studies. Prof. Clara Louise Myers, chairman of the Chinese exchange task force, said Pennsylvania reactor successfully shut down HARRISBURG, Pa. ( UPI) Three Mile Island's nuclear reactor was safely shut down Saturday, but area residents say the trauma of the near- catastrop- he lingers. U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Richard Vollmer said the nuclear reactor's new cooling process was successful. " We're certain it's working. I would describe it as very stable and safe," said Voilmer. Vollmer said engineers will work to isolate the cooling system so that no radiation carried off from the uranium core in the cooling process will get into the air. Experts estimate that the Isolation operation will take a minimum of a month. Heat in the damaged uranium core will remain near 212 F ( 100 C) for some time, plant chief Victor Stello said. For that reason officials hesitated to use the phrase " cold shutdown." A shutdown occurs when water in the cooling system circulates by natural convection rather than by use of a DUSK). Workaday life in the vicinity of Three Mile Island, 10 miles ( 16 kilometers) south of Harrisburg, resumed its pace. Robert Reid, mayor of Middletown, was able to go fishing. But some, including Reid's wife, Priscilla, are worried. " We just don't know what's going to happen to the future generation of children. Will they get sick because of radiation? It's an unknown," she said. Mark and Julie Sipling and their 14- month-- old daughter left town after the March 28 accident They're not going home again ever. " It was my little girl, Debra. I didn't want to take a chance on her, health," said Sipling, who is looking for another home at least 10 miles ( 16 kilometers) away. " It's a hassle, but it's better than living back there." The Rev. Jackson Otto, pastor of Middletown's Wesley United Methodist Church, said he has stopped mentioning Three Mile Island in his sermons. " People want to forget," he said. " Also the realization there could have been a real catastrophe just caught up with some people." IiasMe Five Soviets describe joy of being free By Pranay B. Gupte - New York Times NEW YORK The five dissidents who were exchanged Friday for two convicted Soviet spies spoke Saturday of their disbelief at being released from prison, of their delight at being flown from the Soviet Union to New York, and of their hope that more Soviet prisoners would be freed. " We still can't believe that all our camp burdens are behind us," said Eduard S. Kuznetsov, reading in Russian from a prepared text. " Yesterday, we were still deprived of all rights: today, we are here in a Related stories, Page 3A country which for more than 200 years has been a symbol of freedom." " We are here in the United States and this is as incredible as if we found ourselves on the moon," he went on. The elation of the dissidents at being free seemed to be darkened somewhat by memories of their experiences, about which they spoke with con-siderable emotion. They told of harsh conditions, of being denied medical attention and the right to religious worship, of abuse and anti- Semit- ic epithets hurled by guards and of the fact that, within minutes of being informed of their imminent ex-pulsion from the Soviet Union, each man was told he had been stripped of Soviet citizenship. Kuznetsov spoke at a crowded news conference at the United Nations Plaza Hotel, barely 24 hours after he, Georgi P. Vins. Mark Dymshits, Valentin Moroz and Alexander Ginzburg landed at Kennedy International Airport in a Soviet airliner. The plane picked up Valdik A. Enger and Rudolf P. Cher- nyaye- v. the spies who had been sen-tenced to 50- ye- ar terms in the United States. The episode was the first in which Soviet citizens were exchanged by the United States for Soviet citizens. Each of the five dissidents was weary, and each would occasionally smile or wave to their supporters in the audience, some of whom applauded the speakers from time to time. the exchange would benefit both the United States and China. Now the task force is sifting through the University curriculum to determine what the Columbia campus could offer Chinese exchanges. Such inquiries are taking place on all four campuses. " This gives us an opportunity to participate in areas that the University is strong in, in an international sense," said David McDonald, acting associate vice- preside- nt for academic affairs. Chinese scholars are interested in the University's plant pathology, political science, journalism, cyto- geneti- cs and engineering programs. They want to learn how to apply American research methods to Chinese problems, Wallace said. " During the cultural revolution, higher education did not function well in China," he said. " Now the educational institutions are em-phasizing merit rather than political criteria. The exchange program is representative of the Chinese education today they recognize that they have a lot of catching up to do." One Chinese alumnus of the University has expressed interest to a former classmate, now a horticulture professor, in " catching up" on plant viruses that effect Chinese crops. The professor has sent him information on the program which will help him make arrangements in China. University students and faculty- studyin- g in China would do research in their areas of interest. Older Chinese scholars, rather than undergraduates, will comprise most of the participants, Wallace said. When they complete their study here, they will then return to China to pass on what they leam during the exchange. An exchange with younger Chinese would not be practical, Wallace said, because Chinese society favors the aged. It would be considered disrespectful for young students to teach their elders. To arrange for an exchange, the University must follow federal guidelines as well as going through the institutional hierarchy. Besides red tape, other problems might arise with an exchange program. Since most Chinese, prior to Mao, were admitted to universities for political reasons rather than academic merit, their transcripts are hard to evaluate.

Vins, a leader of a group of Reform Baptists, the Initsiativniki, said, " I thank my Lord that I am free. I thank President Carter, the American Congress and all the Christians in the United States and all the people of good will who have been interceding for the persecuted Christians in the Soviet Union." Vins paused, then smiled. " I was delighted that the first book I saw in this hotel in New York was the Bible." he said. " For five years I was deprived of this book." Like Vins, Ginzburg, who was sen-tenced last year to a third term of eight years in a strict labor camp to be followed by three in exile, occasionally grew emotional during the news con-ference. " You can't tear Moroz away from the Ukraine, you can't tear me away from Russia that is not within the power of the Supreme Soviet.'" Ginzburg declared. Asked whether he knew of the whereabouts and welfare of another prominent Soviet political prisoner, Anatoly B. Shcharansky. Ginzburg said that he had heard in his labor camp that Shchanransky was recently transferred to a new prison at Christopol. Although Dymshits said he was never tortured physically, he said he was subjected to " moral torture and pressure." " Could I have stayed on in the Soviet Union if I had a choice?" Dymshits said. " Absolutely not! I couldn't bear it any longer I couldn't bear the anti- Jewi- sh policy and the Soviet approach to Middle East policy." But Moroz told of beatings he had received from prison guards. In par-ticular, he said, he remembered a train ride to Moscow three years ago when guards pummeled him " without reason." " During the past 12 years, a certain degree of normalization has occurred between the West and the Socialist camp." Kuznetsov said. " We believe our liberation can be looked upon as another instance of such normalization, but with certain reservations.
