Bing Crosby's Son to Make
Radio Debut Tonight With Pop
San Francisco, Jan. 18 (lira Gary Crosby, 16-year-old son of
Crooner Bing, makes his radio debut tonight.
"And it's not because I'm looking ahead to old age," protested
pop, nearing completion of two decades of popularity.
"I'll keep going for awhile," the old groaner said. "But I hope
Gary's successful. I coma even
quit and be his agent."
Youne Crosby, a student at a
San Jose prep school, makes his
bow at 6:30 p.m. (PST) over the
Chesterfield hour (CBS) with
his pop and Barbara Whiting.
He'll sine "Dear Hearts and
Gentle People" and "Be In and
Out" the whole half-hour pro
gram, Bing said.
For that, young Crosby will
get $25 union scale.
"He hasn't heard of the big
salaries yet," said the elder
Crosby.
The show was a tape record
ing, transcribed Monday night
on the stage of the Marine Me
morial club here
Pop Crosby guessed as howl
his young one turned in a "pret
ty darned good" performance.
"The cast thought he did i
good job, too," he added.
The show's producer, Bill
Morrow, here from Hollywood,
thought more than that.
He's really got it," Morrow
said. "He's got the same com
posure and easy-going qualities
as Bing. .
Bing said Gary really "didn't
want to go on at first he
thought he'd get razzed by his
pals at school."
Gary, a B-plus student, is full
back on the school football team
and plays baseball.
Crosby the elder said that
Gary, eldest of his four boys,
was just like the rest of the
youngsters in "fooling around
with music since they were ba
bies."

Gemini, Classical Twins, Can
Be Seen in Sky This Winter
By J. HUGH PRUETT -
; Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System
In the long ago, so we are sometimes told, there lived twin
brothers whose mighty deeds become so famous that at last they
were changed into bright stars and placed side by side in the blue
night heavens.
-: After ages of time they are still there, and can easily be seen
tonight and during the next few
months whenever the sky
clear.
. Around 7 p.m., face almost
due east and look quite high in
the sky. There they are, two
prominent stars, fairly close to
gether and one almost above
the other. The upper one, the
whiter in color, is Castor. His
brother Pollux is slightly bright
er and to normal eyes is decid
edly orange. This indicates a
lower temperature than that of
Castor. Both are exceedingly
far from the earth, Castor be
ing the more distant.
The twins, or Gemini, really
constitute a considerable group
of stars, with Castor and Pollux
marking only the faces of the
brothers. At our observing hour
at this time of year, they are
reclining with their feet toward
the south. It is easy to trace
their outlines. Starting with
Castor, we find an irregular
line of fainter stars extending
toward the right and finally
Curving gently upward into the
foot of this brother. Then trac
ing in the same direction from
Pollux we find a similar line al
most parallel to the first. The
foot of Pollux, however, turns
sharply downward with his heel
at the square corner. When pic
tured, the twins are shown very
close together. Late in the
spring, they will be standing
upright in the western evening
sky- ,
The Gemini, the sons of Jup
iter, are often mentioned in
classical literature. Many were
the exploits ascribed to them in
ancient stories. The Romans
were accustomed to decorate the
prows of their ships with im
ages of these great "Twin
Brethren," who were thought to
prevent wrecks in violent
storms. The sailors often prayed
to them for protection. It was
said that as soon as they ap
peared on the tips of the masts
likely the electrical effect
known as St. Elmo's fire the
violence of the storm abated.
St. Paul sailed on a ship "whose
sign was Castor and Pollux."
omsio&sz
Good telescopes break Castor
into two stars, a double. At a
considerable distance from the
double there is a fainter star
which seems to belong to the
same system. The spectroscope
indicates that every one of the
three is also a double, but too
close to be separated visually
by any telescope.
Whenever the light profanity
of "by Jiminy" escapes your
lips, you are actually swearing
by the sons of the great Jupi
ter, although your pronuncia
tion may be quite faulty. This
expression, so glibly used by
many today, is a survival of
the common oath of the Romans,
isy uemini.
Hope Vanishes for
Entombed Miner
Mahanoy City. Pa.. Jan. 18 up
Hopes that a 25-year-old miner,
eniomDea since last Friday
would be found alive had all but
vanished today as rescue work
ers neared the bottom of a 120-
foot shaft.
Rescuers, hacking their way
through an anthracite vein
alongside the debris that filled
the shaft on Broad mountain,
were within only a few feet of
where they expect to find the
coal car of Edward Burda.
But as they inched closer there
were no signs of the trapped
miner, whose brother. Josenh
30, was rescued after 40 hours
ot digging. Another brother. Cas-
mir, 32, jumped clear as the
cave-in started.

Pioneer Name
James White, pioneer who laid
out the city of West Salem, now
part of Salem, was honored
Tuesday night when the city
planning and zoning commis
sion recommended that a street
be named in his memory.
The name is a change from
Lincoln avenue, which conflicts
with Lincoln street in Salem.
White street is in the old
White donation land claim. It
extends three blocks north from
Edgewater. and a block west of
Wallace road.
The commission has before it
in tentative form a proposal to
change from Class II resident
ial to Class III business zone a
large area on both sides of South
Commercial extending from the
city center to a business zone
farther south. Keith Brown, now
out of the city, may head a
movement for the change when
he returns to the city.
Some who are said to be in
favor of the change are among
the 36 per cent of affected
owners who are opposing a bus
iness zone for property in the
600 block of South Commercial
where Roy Ferris wants to build
a dental office building.
The commission will recom
mend favorably to the city coun
cil a change to business zone for
a lot on 15th street between
Ferry and State where Robert
Seamster wants to convert a res
idence into an apartment house,
