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,

Scientist Answers Argument
About Cause of the Seasons
By J. 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. Draw another 10-

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.

The seasons are thus due to
the annual revolutions of the

tlcally the same tilt.

This time we'll fight," he
said.
The same sentiments were
voiced by the committeemen.
They are the ones close to the
precincts and republican voters.
Here Is the atmosphere In
the various geographical sections
as seen by national committee
men:
Oregon Ralph H. Cake,
Portland: Among the very young
people, there is considerable ad
ditional political activity. On
the whole there has been more
interest through 1951 as com
pared with 1947. More people
are convinced they must take a
personal part in the campaign.
California Mclntyre Fairies,
Los Angeles: There is such a tre
mendous interest in issues,
more than I've ever seen before
And republican groups through
out the state have all worked
out their own desired platforms.
Attendance at political meetings
is up 100 per cent over 1948.
New Mexico Mrs. E. L.
Moulton, Albuquerque: The peo
ple are all enthusiastic, more in
terested and more willing to
work than they've been for ma
ny, many years. And the reason
is that they feel we must have
a change. Even the intelligent
democrats want a change.
Utah George T. Hansen, Salt
Lake City: We have noted a
marked difference in the voters'
attitude, particularly with the
businessmen and the young peo
ple. We get greater attendance
at the district mass meetings
and other affairs on the county
and state levels.

Two Lose Lives in
Oregon Traffic
IB7 the Auoeltted Fnu)
Traffic accidents claimed
two lives In Oregon over the
week-end, and a woman died
of exposure.
One of the traffic victims was
blind man. He was Harold
Nelson, 48, who was fatally in
jured when he was struck by
a car as he crossed a Portland
street Saturday night. Delmer
G. Allen, 27, who police said
was driver of the car, was book
ed on a charge of negligent
homicide.
Bud Keith Norman, 35, was
killed and two men Injured,
when a car failed to make a
turn on Redwood highway south
of Grants Pass Saturday night.
One of the injured, Victor Mas

Wind Forms
Snowballs
Ontario, Ore. (IP) The ground
was covered with snowballs in
this eastern Oregon community
Sunday morning.
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 rising temperature made,
the snow sticky and the wind
rolled up the snowballs.
Because the tracks of the
snowballs were covered by lat
er snow, many persons thought
the snowballs had dropped from
the sky.
In California, water from the
immense Shasta Dam started its
500-mile trip to the rich Central
Valley in August, 1951. It is one
of the world's most ambitious
irrigation projects.

For Pelf on Dam
Portland, Ore. J,(D The Ore

day petitioned Oregon's hydro
electric commission to reassert
its jurisdiction over the Pelton
