Chicago, Oct. 16 flJ.R) Mayor
Fiorello G. LaGuardia returned
to isew York today after a brief
Invasion of the mid-west during
which time he announced that
"President Roosevelt is going to
win nis second war for the Amer
ican people."
At about the same time that
Mayor LaGuardia was declaring
himself in favor of a fourth term
for the president, Vice-President
Henry A. Wallace told a nearby
Gary, Ind., audience that full
postwar employment cannot be
maintained '.'by giving the green
light to Wall Street."
LaGuardia said last nleht thnt
i ou Know and I know the presi
dent Is going to win this war for
us. It Is the second war he has
won for us He won one of the
greatest wars ever waged the
war over hunger, suffering, star
vation and hardship."
Wallace told his listeners that
In the war emergency "industry
was very patriotic but it Is also
very mindful of the dollar," and
that wartime conversion had
been achieved by "labor govern
ment and certain enlightened
leaders in industry" who finally
succeeded in putting it over de
spite those who wanted to hold
back.

The Orionid Meteors
By J. Hufjh Pruelt
Astronomer, General Extension
Division, University of Oregon
Although the August Perscids,
because of their dependability
and abundance, usually receive
more publicity than any other
meteoric display of the year, yet
tuberculosis and one of measles,
also in the Medford district.

listed, these being two cases of hf e aJe several other so-called

interest. For a few nights around
October 19, the Orionid meteors
produce enough fireworks to
cause anyone who is under the
open sky for an hour to remark
that "shooting stars are rather
numerous tonight."
While the Perseids at their
time of maxium around August
11 will give a single observer
60 or more "thrills" an hour,
the Orionids are usually good
for only about 20. But some
years these meteors really out
do themselves. In 1938 counts
reached as high as 40 per hour.
In 1936, in the words of the
Vassar college observatory di
rector, "On the night of October
19 a remarkable shower was ob
served between the hours of
12 and 4:20." (This evidently re
ferred to the morning of the
20th.) Man reports for that morn
ing showed Orionid counts of
above 60 an hour, or as good
as the Perseids at their best. Dr.
Olivier of the University of Penn
sylvania said he believed the
Orionids did better than the
Perseids that year.
The maximum In 1944 will
likely appear during the night
beginning October 19. Orion will
be below the eastern horizon
until around lip. m. The best
counts will doubtless be ob
tained during the morning hours.
No promise is made of an un
usual display this year, though
luckily there will be no moon
to blot out the faint meteors.
Some consider meteor watch
ing and counting the most en
trancing of moving picture
shows. The 1944 reports on the
Perseids received by this writer
were the most numerous of any

Miss Eleanor Sandmeyer, an

Idaho, observed for nearly two
weeks and was rewarded the
morning of August 12 when,
despite a half moon, during two
hours she sighted 153 meteors
streaking the pre-dawn skies.

Pacific director of the American

PICTURE giant four-engine United
Mainlincrs winging majestically over
the famous Main Line Airway at prcJs
up to five miles per minute!
A postwar dream? Not at all! History
was made recently when United Air Lines
signed contracts with the Douglas Aircraft
Company for fifty of these Lalf-million
dollar Mainlincrs a $25,000,000 fleet of
the finest planes in the world.
Just imagine! California to New York
in only f$ hours ... or flying from Denver
to Chicago in a scant 3 hours . . . eighty
minutes between San Francisco and Los
Angeles . . . the entire length of the Pacific
Coaft between lunch and dinner!
The DC-t United Mainliner will carry
41 passengers in new spacious comfort at
210 miles per hour a 'four-mile-a-niin-ute''
Iran-port! While the DC6, the even
larger 56-passenger fky giant, will cruise
at 300 miles per hour a "fi vc-mile-ami
n ute" transport!
Both the DC-1 and DC-6 Mainlincrs
will he equipped for daytime as well as
overnight sleeper plane service.
The first of United's great four-engine
Mainlincrs are scheduled to go into serv
ice along the Main Line Airway next year.
Supplementing these giant transports
will he United's popular 21-passenger,
twin-engine Maiuliners.
There will he many new inter-city and
coast-to-coast schedules providing finer,
faster service for air travelers, mail, air
express and air freight.
Supplying the public with the highest
type of service has always been the policy
of United Air Lines. This $23,000,000
contract for ''half-million dollar" planes
demonstrates that United will offergreater
speed, more flights, finer planes and the)
last word in service aloft on the Main
Line Airway coast to coast, the route
that gors where business is.
