Ellis (United Press Science Editor) New York, March 21 IP The planet Mars is making its closest approach to earth in 10 years, but scientists insist that it's no basis for the new report of flying sauc ers. Mars has been making these neighborly visits every so often, and on the current approach the copper-colored planet will be as near as about 44,000,000 miles just a stone's throw in astronomi cal distances. The astronomers pointed out today that on Thursday, March 23, the planet Mars will be direct ly opposite the sun with earth in the middle. From that date on, the distance between Mars and earth will decrease until about March 28 when the planet of the "Mar tians" begins its usual retreat into its eccentric orbit. When the sun-earth-Mars line up in a row, it is called an oppo site and the last occurred in 1939. At that time, however. Mars did not approach as close as it will in this opposite. The planet will even be closer in 1954 when only 35,- 000,000 miles will separate earth and Mars. That is the year wnen astronomers hope to make some real, scientific observations of Mars. Some Oxygen Astronomers seem sure that Mars has an atmosphere, but very little oxygen not enough' to sup. Dort life as is known on earth. However, "yellow" and "blue" clouds have been observed on the . planet. They are so-called because tney are picKed up Dy oDservation through yellow or blue light. One expert said today that with Mars approaching earth to within 44,000,000 miles and about 123, 000,000 of the sun, that the plan et's surface temperature might rise as much as 10 degrees. Earth people can now see Mars with no trouble. It rises just as the sun sets, and is brighter than any star in the eastern sky. It also is recognizable by the reddish glow it radiates. The scientists ad vise observers not to strain their eyes looking for "flying saucers" zooming off the. surface .of the planet. Britain to Dine On U.S. Dried Eggs Washington, March 21 (IB The United States has agreed to sell Great Britain some 1,158,000,008 dried eggs for a net price of only' one cent a dozen. ' , The British technically will put up S4,000,000 for the eggs about 4 cents a dozen. But this" govern ment will supply $3,000,000 of this total from funds of the economic cooperation administration. The eggs represent about one third of the government's egg hoard. It originally paid $40,000, 000 for them under the price sup port program.

Castle Rock, Colo., March 21 ill' Ranchers of this high altitude cattleland were convinced today that a tropical boa constrictor is roaming their rangelands. One was convinced that the boa, which kills by crushing its victim in its colls, had attacKea one of his cows. The ranchers were pretty cer tain of how the boa arrived from the tropical jungles to the wild west. A boa was among several trop ical snakes that escaped three years ago when the menagerie trucks of a traveling circus were involved in a collision near here. No one took time to look for the snakes since it was believed that they couldn'f live for more than a couple oi days in tne sun. zero temperatures and arid con ditlons of the high plateaus. But. the ranchers said today, the boa apparently survived, "How any tropical snake could live at an altitude of close to 7.000 feet is fantastic," said rancher Norman Smith. "But there definitely is a boa constric tor here and it's on my place." Track Seen Smith said he has seen a four. inch wide track in several places on his land. He and his ranch hands tried to follow the marks but couldn't find the snake's hid ing place, he said. Sheriff John Hammond said a road worker told him he saw the constrictor crawling through the sandy loam near where the hlgn way crew was working recently. The road man said the snake was "about six inches in diameter." The inake drew considerable at tention after another rancher, Ed Campbell, reported that one of his cows suffered long gashes in the loose folds of its throat last week. The gashes, said Campbell, could have been caused by the constrictor. "I'm not satisfied that it wasn't,"- he said. In Denver, zoo superintendent Clyde Hill said it was "unreason, able" that a boa could survive the winters in Colorado. He ad mitted that "an alligator, also s cold-blooded reptile, can freeze up solid and then thaw out." Gar-Truck Crash Takes 8 Lives Uoekton. III. March 21 mi Eight! persons!

HOW TO TREAT YOUR TELEPHONE 1. A twisted cord can lead to trouble. Although the wires are especially designed for flexibility, too many twists and kinks may eventually break them and inter fere with service until a repairman can c.Ul. Good idea to get the curls out by letting the receiver dangle and unwind by itself . . , then keep them out by remembering, each time you call, not to put turns in the cord as you handle the receiver. 3. Did you ever stop to think that your telephone is one service or piece of equipment in your home that's repaired and maintained for life at no extra cost to you? This maintenance is one of the values in- eluded in the rates you pay for service . . . rates that make it one of your really good buys today.
