By United Press International LOS ALAMOS, N.M. - Fifty scientists, industrialists and scholars in a formal report have recommended the establishment of a permanent U.S. base on the moon within a decade, a spokesman said Tuesday. NASA's Lunar Base Working Group said in a report released this week that a return to the moon by the United States could advance scientific exploration, ex­ pand commercial opportunities and prepare for the habitation of other planets. # "The cost would be roughly comparable to the Apollo pro­ gram, which amounted to less than three-tenths of a percent of the U.S. gross national product in the decade from 1962 to 1972," said Paul Keaton of Los Alamos Na­ tional Laboratory Physics Divi­ sion. "We don't think a lunar base program would mean an increase in NASA's historical budget level, given the doubling of the GNP after inflation, the long useful life of a lunar base compared to the Apollo program and the possibili­ ty of international funding, such as is happening with the space shuttle. In fact, the lunar base would probably cost only about one-tenth of a percent of the GNP." The report, which is based on a workshop held by the group at the laboratory last spring, said a lunar base would provide a chance for unprecedented scientific research. "The far side of the moon is per­ manently shielded from direct radio frequency emissions from Earth," Keaton said. "This uni­ quely 'quiet' lunar environment may be the only place instruments can really be fully utilized in the search for extraterrestrial in­ telligence." Detailed studies of the moon also could be made from such a base, he said, which in turn could provide valuable information about the formation of the Earth and other planets. The report said lunar resources could be mined for industry and there are indications that a base could produce enough oxygen, fuel, building materials and metals for the colonization of other planets. It said a scientific and industrial complex on the moon could become a spaceport to launch space missions. The group said it could find no insurmountable technical pro­ blems to setting up a permanent base on the moon, although it said conditions would be difficult at first. A public symposium to discuss the group's conclusions and recommendations will be held in Washington, D.C., Oct. 29-31, of­ ficials said. By Lani Jordan XJnited Press International ; BOULDER JUNCTION, Wis. - , When the governors of Great Lakes border states gather at a ^Wisconsin resort this week, the ; dominant topic of conversation is ; more likely to be who caught the biggest fish rather than any press- . 4ng serious issue. • ; "Gov. (Anthony) Earl wanted it I that way," Carol Stroebel, a ; spokeswoman for the host Wiscon­ sin governor, said. "They wanted !to spend some time socializing •Jand relaxing together." As many as six of seven gover­ nors representing states along the • live Great Lakes are expected to gather from Thursday through ; Saturday at the Dairyman's • resort in Wisconsin's scenic nor­ theastern lakes region. ; The governors are expected to mix discussions of economics, | tourism and environmental issues ;with liberal doses of fishing for ! muskellunge, barbequeing brat- ; wurst and enjoying regional enter­ tainment. iBrits to sell idesolate isles t inear Scotland By United Press International LONDON -- For sale: five I desolate islands off the west coast ;0f Scotland. Home for monks in * the ei|ith century and now in- i habited by seals and seabirds. A I steal at $78,000. » They may not be everyone's T idea of an island paradise, but the ; Ascribs in Loch Snizort, a remote * archipelago that has just come up I for sale, offer seals and solitude to J the prospective buyer. « "The present owner does not * want to be named and is asking 1 59,000 pounds ($78,000) for the t islands" in a fjord of the Isle of I Skye, London's Times newspaper * reported Tuesday. I Traces of a group of eighth cen- * tury monks, the Culdees, can be »found on the five islands, but no one has lived there since the turn ; of the century, and the Ascribs * have reverted to a haven for seals " and birdlife. > Awaiting the new owner is a ;» small dock and a ruined summer 4 lodge, overlooking a sheltered \ lagoon that is a haven for seals. i On cliff sides overlooking the >\ grey, wind-flecked waters of Loch > Snizort, black and white puffins ^with their large fish-snatching bills nfest, and many other bird species visit the islands. 0* The Times quoted Robert Preston of Skye, the real estate agent handling the sale, that the Ascribs had been offered to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds as a sanctuary, but the group had not been able to make a "realistic" offer. . KIMONO SHOW Over 40 Japanese kimonos will be on display in the Chicago Botanic Gardens Exhibition hall on Saturday, Aug. 25 from 1 to 5 p.m. and Sunday Aug. 26 from 11 to 5 p.m. The Chicago Botanic Garden is located on Lake-Cook Road, just east of Edens Ex­ pressway. Ms. Stroebel said she did not ex­ pect any formal resolutions or ac­ tions to be made during the meeting of the Great Lakes Governor's Association. "We could have really packed in a lot of business," she said. "But in some ways, I think they will get more done this way." Members of the relatively new organization includes Govs. Earl of Wisconsin, James Blanchard of Michigan, Rudy Perpich of Min­ nesota, James Thompson of Il­ linois, Robert Orr of Indiana and Richard Celeste of Ohio. Thus far, only Orr has declined the invita­ tion to what Ms. Stroebel describ­ ed as a regular business meeting of the group. Also invited to attend is New York Gov. Mario Cuomo. Although New York borders on Lake Ontario, its governor is not a member of the Great Lakes association. Ms. Stroebel said there had been some concern among the other Great Lakes governors that the in­ terests of New York's chief ex­ ecutive might be torn between economic issues that affect the Great Lakes and competing Atlan­ tic coast matters. Cuomo, however, has expressed interest in joining the Great Lakes group and a compromise appears to have been reached. "Gov. Earl will propose that New York be invited to join on en­ vironmental and water quality issues," Ms. Stroebel said. Cuomo still has not said whether he would attend, but at least will send a representative as will the premiers of the Canadian pro­ vinces of Ontario and Quebec, she said. , On the serious side, Friday mor­ ning the governors will hear presentations on economic development, regional tourism and international business development. Saturday morning's program features a presentation by Ohio's Celeste on the machine tool in­ dustry and a proposal from a con­ sulting firm on a regional marketing plan. The bulk of the three-day meeting, however, will be devoted to recreation. Ms. Stroebel said as well as pro­ viding the governors with time to relax together, Earl wanted to show off northern Wisconsin's at­ tributes as a Great Lakes region tourist spot. * The governors will be greeted Thursday evening at the rustic lodge with a typical Wisconsin "brat fry." On Friday and Satur­ day afternoons, they will have the opportunity to try their hands at muskie fishing. The nearby city of Minocqua is holding its annual Muskie Festival, part of the reason the location was selected, Ms. Stroebel said. Even plans for a dinner speaker Friday night -- who was rumored to be Cuomo -- had been scrap­ ped. Ms. Stroebel said there would be entertainment, including songs and storytelling, instead.

The vessel was the 3,700-ton Selmon Zabaykayle, nearly the length of a football field, which is loaded with sophisticated elec­ tronic sensing devices. It carries 117 crewmen and is armed with surface-to-air missiles. When the Zaybaykayie was spotted late Monday 180 miles southwest of San Francisco,. the U.S. Navy was watching another Soviet intelligence ship, the 3,000- ton Semyon Chelyuskin. For a week that vessel has been cruising off Washington state along the route of three Trident nuclear submarines passing through the Strait of Juan de Fuca to their base at Bangor, Wash. On Tuesday the Chelyuskin was 20 miles off Cape Flattery. The Zabaykayle, which was operating off Hawaii two weeks ago, is described by Jane's Fighting Ship Guides as one of the most modern Intelligence ships in the world, equipped with its own analyzing computers. "The U.S. Navy doesn't have any intelligence collecting ships," said Cmdr. Fred Gorrell, public affairs officer at Treasure Island All your shopping needs are right here for you.

However, he added: "We have a variety of in­ telligence collection platforms and systems, surface and sub­ surface and aerial, but no in­ telligence ships." Gorrell said the U.S. Navy sees Soviet spyships off the West Coast several times a year. At the Pentagon, a Navy spokesman said, "They're always out there, particularly off San Francisco and Washington state. They watch our fleet movements, and we watch them watching." The last such spyship off the Pacific Coast was the Balsam, which cruised from north to south in March as close as 50 miles from shore, Gorrell said. BACK TO SCHOOL SALE!
