S Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Monday, Jan. II, 1951 Crime Probe in Washington Olympla U The Wash ington State Legislative council today granted another $15,000 to continue the crime investiga tion! its subcommittee is con ducting in cities throughout the atate. The additional funds were granted over objections by mem bers of the council from Tacoma who accused the subcommittee headed by Sen. Albert Rosellini (D-Seattle) of "putting on a ra dio and television show" In their tity a few months ago. Most of the criticism came from Reps. A. B. Comfort and A. L. Rasmussen and Sen. R. C Barlow, all of Tacoma. Comfort and Barlow are republicans. Ras mussen is a democrat. "Many of the citizens of Ta coma feel the work of the com mittee was not too responsible," said Rasmussen. "Too many loose statements were permitted, We don't like all the undesire- able characters in our city put on radio and television ... to destroy the work the well-mean ing citizens are doing." Comfort said before he would approve the extra $15,000, he wanted assurance that the crime investigations would not devel op more "shows," and he asked: "Does the committee want to produce evidence to obtain con victions, or does it want to find out If new laws are needed?" Rosellini emphasized: "We're not out to convict anybody. We want to find out what conditions are in this state, so we can see If we should supply tools with which law enforcement officers can do a better job." Barlow said if the committee merely wanted to find out what new laws may be necessary, "it doesn't have to spend so much money for the show part of it." Actually, Rosellini replied, $15,000 will not be enough to "do the kind of job we know should be done. We will have to forsake a lot of important work, Euckert on AEC Washington VP) Eugene M.

HUGH PRUETT Aatronomer, Extension Division Oregon Hliher Bduoitlon flratem Over the telephone came this ejuery: "We are having an argu ment here in the office and we want you to settle It. Does the earth's axis tip sufficiently ev ery six months to give us the difference in temperature be tween winter and summer?" When called upon to mediate an astronomical dispute, I am always pleased to be able to tell the one doing the inquiring that he is right. In this case, how ever I had skillfully to suggest that the truth lay on the other aide. Let us ask the reader to con struct a diagram on a sheet of paper. In the center of the sheet draw a circle around a silver half dollar if such wealth Is yours. Inside of this circle write, "The Sun." To the right of this, and near the edge of the aheet trace a circle around a dime. Label this, "The Earth From a little above the earth draw a line straight down through its center and continue it a short distance below the lower part of the circle. This represents the Imaginary axis around which the entire earth rotates approximately once each S4 hours. (The more exact time is 23 hours 56 minutes.) This dally rotation turns any part away from the sun, thus giving us day and night. But the axis of the earth docs not point straight up as we have drawn It. Didn't we learn something in our grade-school geographies about 23 Vi-degree tilt? If the upper end of this axis is tipped down 23 Vt degrees toward the left, an amount a little less than one-third that to make it point directly toward the sun, we have the approxi mate tilt. Rearrange the axis in your diagram accordingly. We now have the condition of summer in the northern hemi sphere and winter in the south ern. The sun can warm the end of the earth turned toward It much better than the other. If the north pole could slow ly tip toward the right so that in six months It would point as far, to the right of straight up as it does to the left In summer, we would have winter condi tions without any doubt. But it does not do it that way. The axis continues to tilt to the left as the earth moves around the sun. In three months, It will be hidden behind the tun in our diagram.

He might toy there a long time, he thought But even after a day in the old home town of Tern drup he waa sure he wanted to return to Oregon to his farm and his two daughters.

The visa came after he died. Young Britain Envoy to Tehran London W) Britain has named Robert Hankey, a young but tried diplomat as he new am bassador to Tehran in the hope of ending the long Angle-Iranian oil deadlock, informed offi cial said Monday. The 46-year old Hankey, who speaks Iranian, will succeed the present envoy, Sir Francis shep herd, whose tenure in Tehran has extended throughout the crisis resulting from nationalization of the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil company's vast holdings there. Britain's conservative leaders often sniped at the former Labor government's handling of the dis pute. One of Foreign Secretary An thony Eden's first acts after the Tories took over the government late last year was to recall Shep herd and tell him he would be switched to another post. About 100 islanders from Pukapuka, in the Cook group, recently moved to another island because of overcrowding. The population on their atoll had reached 800. cent earth at the left of the sun with the north pole still tilting toward the left. This is the win ter position six months from the summer position. The seasons are thus due to the annual revolutions of the earth around the sun while the earth's axis remains at prac tlcally the same tilt.

Many residents thought the baseball to basketball size snow balls had fallen from the sky during the night. But L. A. Bailey, C A A weather observer on night duty at the airport here, said he saw the wind form the snowballs. He said warm, 40-mile-an-hour wind gusts hit the snow covered ground.

The federation, which has supported the building of the Pelton dam, asked the commis sion to render a decision in ac cordance with its legal respon sibilities. Marshall Swearingen, federa tion president, charged that the commission had, in effect, dodg ed the issue by subordinating its authority to the Oregon fish commission.
