CkaseSeeds 101 East Broadway Phone 4036 skies as the first perceptible wisps of the mysterious "Mylke Whyte Waye" tinge a clear and moonless summer night. This delicate, misty band now extends entirely across the eve ning heavens from the twinkling stars of Perseus in the north-north-east to the rich region of Sagittarius low In the south. Late Summer Best Late summer views of the Milky Way are the best of the year. Far from uniform throughout, this galaxy breaks into many ir regularities of nebulous light of varying width and brightness. Overhead it divides into two dis tinct branches which continue side by side toward the south. In classical mythology this sky band was considered the dust tial billows in the rich regions of the south. He wrote that "the stars piled up in great cumulus masses like summer clouds. They appeared very bright as if an illumination far greater than the Milky Way was shining through." Brewer Mourns Order to Unload Supply of Beer RED BLUFF, Calif (Pi A river of beer good beer too flowed toward the sea Saturday, alas. There were 124,000 gallons of it. A federal Judge said the beer had to be dumped.

One ancient scientist thought it was a zone of stars partially obscured by the earth s shadow; another, that stars i were here so crowded together that they illuminate each other. Theophrastus taught that this was a crack in the sky due to poor joining of the two hemispheres at the time of creation. The noted Aristotle considered it a mass of glowing gas. The Greek Pytha goras around 550 B. C. taught it was a vast assemblage of very dis tant stars. Pythagoras Right Galileo in 1610 found that the Pythagorean theory, propounded over 2000 years earlier, was cor rect. His newly-invented telescope showed the Milky Way as "my riads of stars, their blended light causing the white effect the un aided eye reveals." It is "star dust," each fleck too distant to show individually. The galaxy completely encir cles the sky. Our star system of billions of blazing suns is thought : to be arranged in the shape of a disc. Our sun and Its planets are about half way from the center to the edge. More On Edges If we look skyward in the direc tion of the thin part of the disc, we do not see as many or as dis tant stars as when we look toward the edges. They aren't there. The accumulated effect of these mil lions of far-away stars in the di rection of' the disc's edges gives the appearance of the Milky Way.

Red Hunters Accuse Truman of Delays WASHINGTON (P) Congres sional investigators formally ac cused the White House Saturday night of refusing to help "protect the national security." In a report on "Communist es pionage in the United States gov ernment," the House UnAmerl can Activities Committee said: 1. Tts Inquiry has been "ham pered at every turn by White House 'obstructive tactics'" and refusal to supply Information. 2. The "failure" of Attorney General Clark to enforce laws against spying "as. vigorously as he should" is la'-gely responsible for "the growth a.id power of jlhe Communist conspiracy" In Amer ica. 3.
