Arrives for Trial Alger Hiss, former high State department
official, arrives with Mrs. Hiss at federal court in New
York, for the opening of his second trial on perjury charges.
Hiss was indicted nearly a year ago by a spy-probing federal
grand jury which accused him of lying when he denied
passing pre-war secret government papers to Whittaker
Chambers, confessed courier for a Soviet spy ring. The first
trial jury was dismissed last July when it failed to reach a
verdict. (AP Wirephoto)
People of Oregon Advised
To Look Out for Meteorite
By J. HUGH PRUETT
(Astronomer, Eitttulon DivUion, Oregon Hither Eduction System)
The fall of the brilliant Hunters' Silver meteor at 2:30 p.m.,
Oct. 1, 1949, over a locality 25 or 30 miles west of Canyon City
In Grant county, has renewed interest in attempting to discover
a "fourth meteorite" for our state.
In various places in Oregon, even in a few museums, material
is being displayed as "stones-
which fell from the sky" which I i ,.
bank Puts on
$2 Million Party
Only 22 months after open
ing for business the Willamette
Valley bank has reached the $2,
000,000 level in assets, and cele
brated the event with a party
for its employes Saturday night.
This is the bank's second million-dollar
party, the first hav
ing been in September, 1948,
upon reaching the first million
in assets. The bank started in
business December 1, 1947.
The two-million-dollar dinner
was held Saturday night at Shat
tuck's Chateau. Prior to the
dinner the officers, employes
and their wives gathered at the
home of Alfred Domogalla, as
sistant cashier.
Announcement was made by
Carroll Meeks, president of the
bank, that Assistant Cashier
Henry Ewing had resigned and
would give all his time to his
accounting and tax service business.
are nothing more than ordinary
earth rocks. It is regrettable
that the owners of such terres
trial specimens do not have them
examined by an authority on
such matters before presenting
them to the public as real
meteorites.
During the past 17 years, well
toward 1,000 "suspected" rock
samples from the western parts
of the United States and Canada
have been sent to me for testing.
Exactly four have been the "real
thing." Large numbers were
said to have been seen to fall.
But the evidence was usually
based on the sight of brilliant
meteors, many of which "seem
ed" to strike the top of a near
by hill, when actually they were
likely 100 or 200 miles beyond
the hill. Flaming meteors us
ually cease to glow when from
10 to 40 miles above the earth,
J and any unburned fragraments
' complete the fall as dark bodies.
Only three meteoritical falls
are accredited in lists prepared
by world authorities as ever
having been recovered in Ore
gon: the Port Orford in 1859.
the Sam's Valley in 1894, and
the Willamette in 1902. None of
these was seen to fall as far as
is known. If anyone thinks he
knows of another, he should ar
range to have tests made to de
termine whether he is correct.
Fallen meteorites may remain
en the surface of the ground or
penetrate a few feet below the
surface. They are always solid
and heavy; never porous and full
of holes as are clinkers and lava,
the most common materials sent
in for testing. When freshly
fallen, they have a burned-appearing
crust. The metallic
type is almost entirely nickel
and iron, and appears silvery
when the thin crust is removed
with a file. The stony type us
ually has nickel-iron grains of
silvery hue embedded in the
' atony material.
It seems quite likely that the
October 1 fireball, which fell
almost straight down, reached
the earth before being entirely
consumed. If it was of the
metallic type, it probably land
ed in one piece; if stony, it may
have sprinkled a considerable
iarea with "celestial shrapnel".
It is hoped that everyone in the
general region of fall will be
on lookout for unusual rocks,
and if found, will send speci
mens to me at once at Eugene.
A piece the size of a prune is
quite sufficient. Large muse-
