Expansion of
Alomic Program
Washington (fl) Sen. May
bank D.-S.C. said Wednesday he
hopes for an early start on a
five-year expansion of the alo-
' mic energy program planned by
President Truman to cost be
tween five and six billion dollars.
"It Is my understanding the
beginning phases of the expan
sion will be on a modest scale
and I am hoping it will get un
der way soon," Maybank told a
reporter.
The South Carolinian is chair
man of a Senate appropriations
subcommittee which passes on
funds for the atomic program. In
that capacity, he conferred Tues
day with officials of the Atomic
Energy Commission regarding
the expansion plans Mr. Truman
announced Monday.
"I am told," Maybank said,
"there have been no decisions
yet as to just where the new
program will be undertaken, or
as to whether new facilities will
be constructed or existing ones
enlarged."
Hoover School Entrance as depicted in a sketch of the archi
tects. The building is to be constructed on a 10-acre tract
east of Park avenue and north of D street. It is expected bids
will be asked in the near future in the hope that the building
will be completed by next September. The entrance faces
the west and is so designed to cut down the force of wind and
rain to a considerable extent. The designation of "Hoover"
is in recognition of the fact that former President Herbert
Hoover once lived in Salem.

Wood Cutting
Project Closes
A wood cutting project, inaug
urated by the county court north
of Salem several weeks ago as
an aid to employable men tern
porarily out of work, will be
shut down within three or four
days.
The project has been a pro
fitable one in that it was of ma
terial assistance in keeping the
relief load down, it was stated
during a discussion by the court
Thursday.
Wood cutters have been trans
ported to the scene of operations
by a county truck and the men
have been paid $7 a cord. They
have cut approximately 500
cords, some o which will be
used in heating the court house.
A portion of it will be sold.
The tract on which the men
have been operating is virtually
cut over except for some swamp
land where cutting would be
difficult. The cutting has been
exclusively by crosscut saws and
axes.
It is probable a similar project
will be inaugurated next winter
should need arise. Better wea
ther conditions would mean op
ening up of customary spring
jobs.
Ted Kuenzi, assistant count)
engineer, who has been super
vising the project, states much
of the cord wood cut of of ex
cellent quality.
A correpondent recently
wrote that he had never seen
even an attempted explanation
as to why the north pole of the
earth always points "exactly"
at Polaris, the north star.
He is surely in good company
for Shakespeare made Julius
Caesar say, "But I am constant
as the northern star, of whose
true fixed and resting quality
there is no fellow in the firma
ment."

Eric Johnston
On Plan Board
Washington (P) President
Truman Wednesday nominated
Eric A. Johnston, former stabili
zation chief, to be chairman of
the International Development
Advisory Board. The group su
pervises planning operations un
der the Point Four Program.
An exchange of letters dis
closed that Johnston accepted
the chairmanship after consist
ing with the Board of Directors
of the Motion Picture Associa
tion of America of which he is
president.
Johnston said he agreed with
the President that the Point
Four Program of technical aid
to underdeveloped countries
"embodies all those things that
we stand for in America, and all
those things we seek to achieve
as a leader in the free world."
The chairmanship of the ad
visory board formerly was held
by Nelson Rockefeller.

has discovered the explanation
But that is all spoiled by the
brutal fact that the earth's pole
does not point at Polaris and
likely never did, the great
Shakespeare nothwithstanding.
The place among the stars at
which the earth's pole points is
known as the celestial pole. All
the stars in the northern sky
seem to encircle this pole once
day. Even Polaris traces a
little circle around it and is
now about one degree two
widths of a full moon from
it. (The exact amount today
is 57 min. 13 sec. a little less
than one degree.
. The separation of the celes
tial pole from Polaris is now
continually decreasing and will
be at a minimum around A.D.
2100, when it will be a little
less than half a degree away.
At the time of Shakespeare it
was nearly four degrees away.
Someone has suggested that if
the famous poet had taken the
trouble to check on the figures.
he would have found he had
Caesar in error by around 15
degrees.
After 2100 the separation will
increase. By 14,000, the pole
will be only five degrees from
Vega, more than 45 degrees
irom Polaris, which cannot then
by any stretch of the imagina
tion be considered the north
star. But for many generations
yet, Polaris will be a very de
pendable although not exact
pole star. All this changing
is due to the 25,800-year cycle
of the precession of the equi
noxes, a phenomenon too com
plicated to explain here.
Since Polaris traces a circle
around the celestial pole, it is
due north twice daily: when
directly above and below the
pole. For rough reckoning,
however, this star defines north
quite closely.

An easy way of showing the
location of the pole is to set a
wide-open camera in a dark
place, direct it approximately
toward the north star, and let
it stand for an hour or more.
Curved trails of many stars in
this region will be photograph
ed. All will seem to be drawn
around the pole as a center.
There are numerous fainter
stars nearer the celestial pole
than is Polaris. In 1925, a tiny
star, practically at the pole, was
dubbed "Polarissima." Two
beautiful photographs of the
star trails around this are shown
in Popular Astronomy in Jan
uary 1937.
Polaris is at the end of the
handle of the group of stars
known as the Little Dipper.

Admiral Raps
Conduct of War
Coronado, Calif. (U.R) Adm,
Jonas H. Ingram, retired wartime
commander-in-chief of the At
L'antic Fleet, said today he felt
our government s ideas on the
Korea war have been "phony
from the start" with everything
being done for political ends.
Ingram was scheduled to leave
here today for a three-week busi
ness trip to New York.
"If we were actually going to
clean out the communists it
would be different," the cigar-
smoking veteran said. "But what
can a fighting man feel that he
doing under such conditions as
these?
I feel that everything the ad
ministration does, internation
ally or in this country, is done
for political ends. '
Ingram said he agreed in the
basic ideas of General Douglas
McArthur. However, he said he
did not think it would be neces
sary to land troops on the con
tinent of Asia.-
"Wars aren't fought just a
the front lines," Ingram said
"You go behind their lines and
destroy their rears. Our whole
concept of this war has been
phony from the start.
"Things couldn t be worse,
The Russians are getting their
objectives without losing a man
or firing a shot."
Columbia Fishing
Season Curtailed
Portland, Ore. (U.R) The Ore
gon fish commission and the
Washington department of fish
eries have curtailed commercial
fishing in the Columbia river in
July and the fall, despite pro
tests of Astoria packers and In
dians at Celilo.
The two authorities concurred
here yesterday on new seasonal
regulations designed to build
up the seriously depleted July
Chinook salmon run and check
exploitation of the fall river sil
ver run.
The season below Bonneville
will be June 20-July 15 and July
29-Aug. 26. Above Bonneville it
will be July 2-13 and Aug. 14
24.
The new season regulations
cut two weeks off the summer
season.
The state authorities also
agreed on 48-hour week-end
closing, taking in Friday and
Saturday, after the season opens
Sept. 10.
Columbia river fishing regu
lations are established jointly by
Oregon and Washington.

DEATHS
Bogota, Columbia VP) Six
wild and bearded convicts who
escaped a tropical jungle prison
camp said Thursday they killed
broiled and ate a seventh com
panion the fattest one and
were planning to eat another
when they stumbled into
settlement and surrendered.
Their confession was reported
by Horacio Rosero Caicedo, di
rector of the National Territor
ies Department of the Interior
Ministry.
The men wandered 38 days
through treacherous swamps
and jungle inhabited almost
solely by snakes, beasts and
wild natives. They covered a
crow-flight distance of 250 miles
before they reached Puerto Um
bria, a river village in an An
dean valley, and gave them
selves up.
Some were ill with malaria.
Ail were clothed in rotted tat
ters. Eating their plumpest com
panion, they said, was the only
way they could get strength to
escape the jungle.
