Dallas First of Its type in Polk county, a new hay storage
barn and dryer at the Chester Jenkins' farm, Greenwood,
will hold between 50 and 60 tons of hay and can be con
structed at a cost of about $1000. The circular shed has a
shaft running vertically through the center as an air vent.
A blower may be placed in the doorway at the bottom
to force air up the shaft and through the hay. Cracks are in
tentionally left between the exterior sheathing to allow an
exit for air. In the picture are Marvin Jenkins (left), father of
Fred Jenkins (center) and son of Chester Jenkins (right).
The shed now nears completion and will be filled soon with
chopped hay. (Abel photo)

Installment Buying
Controls to Lapse

Government controls over in
atallment buying by consum
ers will be allowed to expire at
the end of this month, senators
said today.
The wartime and post-waV
controls over the amount of
down payments and total time
for payments have been known

Dutch Forces Quit
Indonesian Capital

Dutch forces began pulling out
of Jogjakarta, capital of the In
donesian republic today.
Dutch army headquarters
here said that within six days
all Netherlands forces will be
evacuated from Jogjakarta
which was captured in a sur
prise paratroop attack six months
ago.
The evacuation was agreed to
through the United Nations com
mission on Indonesia Wednes
day. Some equipment and troops
had been pulled out in the six
weeks since a provisional agree

Astronomer Gives Advice
On Building Telescopes
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Aitronomtr, Bxteulon DItWob, Oreion Hlibr Wue.tion Sutem
"Will you write a story on how one may acquire at a moderate
cost a telescope for viewing the stars?" (Mrs. J.G.Z.)
Draw-tube terrestrial telescopes selling from $10 to $30 are
seldom of much value in studying the heavenly bodies. High
grade optical parts, specially constructed, are needed. The
stated site of a refracting tele
scope indicates the diameter of
the front lens. Before the war,
one company was making a real
ly fine 2-inch instrument for
about $50. Recently some con
cerns are selling at about this
price military surplus material,
reputed to have cost the govern
ment much more.
W Out 70th j0nAtiM!j&f
For really satisfactory celes
tial observing, one needs a 3
inch telescope. Since the light
gathering power increases with
the square of the lens diameter,
a 3-inch is over twice as strong
as a 2-inch (9 to 4). A com
pleted 3-inch instrument of high
quality on a good mounting
which will permit it to be pointed
to any part of the sky can be
bought complete from regular
manufacturers for from $200 to
$300. For anyone not inclined
to "make things," this is doubt
less the surest way to obtain a
good instrument. But deficient
in ingenuity as he may be, the
present writer fixed up 3-lnch
of just as good quality two years
ago for about $70.
From a reliable manufacturer
the front lens mounted in a
short metal cell was purchased
for $60, the standard price for
that size. From a war-surplus
company a "focusing" eyepiece
of 's-inch focal length was
bought for $6.50. A local ma
chinist threaded a 1 '4-inch tube
to the eyepiece so it could be
fitted into the main tube.
For a tube, one of very heavy
cardboard was used, the kind
on which rugs are rolled. The
inside diameter was a little over
3 inches; the walls, inch thick.
By means of paste and strips
of heavy paper, the inside of the
ends of the tube were built up
so that the front lens cell and
the eyepiece tube would fit snug
ly into them. Result: An ex
cellent, lightweight telescope
which (with dew cap exten
sion) has a length of almost 50
inches and gives a magnification
of 46 times.
The front lens and the eye
piece in opposite ends of the
tube must be the proper dis
tances apart, else nothing can
be seen. This distance can be
tested on a far-away terrestrial
object before the tube is cut to
its final length. The fine focus
ing obtained by turning the eye
piece is very essential to clear
views. A firm mounting which
will allow the telescope to be
nointed to any part of the sky
can be made of wood, bolts and
screws.
Although the writer has at
times helped with the construc
tion of such telescopes, he must
henceforth "respectfully de
cline." But for a self-addressed
postal, he will gladly name
sources from which the optical
parts or completed telescopes
can be purchased. Address him

gene, Oregon.
200,000 Reds in
Hungary Purged
Prague, Czechoslovakia. June
25 VP) Hungary's Red leader,
Matyas Rakosi, said last night
200,000 Hungarian communist
party members have been ex
pelled in a purge of "spies and
provacateurs.."
The communist party chair
man told a rally of Czech work
ers he is waging a "campaign of
destruction with an iron hand"
against dissidents still in the
party.
Apparently he referred to the
recent expulsion and arrest of
Laszlo Rajk, former Hungarian
foreign minister, and other com
munist leaders on charges of
spying and Trotskyism.
Rakosi said a purge of Hun
garian communist ranks was
found necessary to "strengthen
our party." He said it had been
trimmed to about 1,000,000
members.
