WOULD GIVE GI'S EQUAL LEAVE PAY ,ashington, March 1 (U.R) Strong house support developed today for a bill to put "GI Joe" on the same terminal leave basis as officers. A measure to provide terminal leave pay retroactively to mem bers of the armed forces who served after Sept. 8, 1939, has been approved by a House Mili tary Affairs subcommittee and Is scheduled to be considered by the full committe next week. Chairman Robert Sikes, D., Fla., of the subcommittee said the War department estimated the measure would cost $1,800, 000,000 for enlisted men of all branches of the armed forces. Estimated cost for officers under the present program is $1,000, 000,000. Terminal leave pay for en listed men is expected to be fought bitterly by the army and navy. The Sikes bill would pay GI's for accumulated leave not to ex ceed 120 days plus a minimum of 70 cents a day for quarters allowances and subsistence.

Hugh Pruett Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Hiehei Education System A giant sunspot, several times the diameter of our earth, surely was adequately advertised by press and radio during the first of last month. The dark blot on old Sol's genial countenance doubtless was seen by thousands, for the only needed optical aid was a thin sheet of fog or cloud. In a clear sky, smoked glass or photographic negative sufficed. It appeared about like a black cherry seen against the upper part of a large dinner-plate. Telescopically, this sunspot be came a collection of smaller in dividuals. An average spot con sists of a black central part, or umbra, surrounded by a grey penumbra. On February 8, the principal spot was composed of an elongated umbra and several smaller ones enmeshed in con tinuous oval penumbra of almost a threaded appearance. Several smaller umbrte each enchsed in its individual penumbra, extend ed out in a broken line. The filamented penumbra was almost a perfect duplication of the one seen July 4, 1941, and which was followed that night by one of the finest displays of northern lights ever seen in our latitudes Sunspots have been known and studied since Galileo turned his newly-invented telescope on the sky in 1810. But that Italian astronomer had difficulty con vincing those around him of his find, for said they, "The sun is an orb of p-ire light, and how can it be pure if blotched with black?" An early theory held that sunspots were actual holes through which the dark interior of this solar bod was seen. Now they are known to be cooler sur face portions in which great vol umes of spiraling gases are ac tive. Although intensely hot and luminous, they appear dark in comparison with the iest of the sun. The temperature of the gen eral solar surface is about 6000 degrees centigrade; while that f the spots is "only" 4000 degrees. The sun rotates in 25 days. The recent spectacular spot was carried entirely across the sun's face from lefi to right in less than two weeks, and on Febru ary 12 disappeared -round the sun's edge. We shall find it in teresting to see if it is still in existence when this part of the solar surface again crates into view in the next few days. Grafting Official Starts Prison Term After Long Flight Wethersfield, Conn., March 1 (U.R) Daniel J. Leary, former Waterbury City comptroller, ent ered state's prison today to begin a 10 to 15 years term he dodged successfully for five years. Leary was arrested in Chicago Wednesday, five years after he disappeared from Waterbury when the Supreme court denied him a new trial for his part in a $3,500,000 municipal graft scandal. Leary, who had toured the na- tion selling religious articles since his disappearance, was recognized by a former Water bury resident in Chicago who pointed him out to a policeman. 47 MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED FOR FEBRUARY During February 47 marriage licenses were issued and 43 d! vorces filed with the county clerk's office, records show. The totals were about the same as January. Today, the last one for procur ing doe licenses without a $4 penalty attached, saw a rush of dogowners to the clerk s office.

BLUE LAWS ARE OF NEW JERSEY Trenton, N. J. (U.R) A person who drives a horse while intoxi cated the driver, that is, not the horse may be fined $2.50 or $10 or be imprisoned for 30 days in New ersey, an exami nation of ancient blue laws still remaining on the statute books revealed today. The Legislature meets yearly to correct existing laws and enact new ones, but does noth ing about many of the dusty regulations. No one else does, either, so the public is hardly aware of them. The circum stances of their origin also pro vide a mystery. The law, for instance, author izes magistrates to order a ball and chain be placed on the leg of any tramps when they are tried as disorderly persons. The wearing of dangerous hatpins in any public place automatically makes the wear er a disorderly person, liable to a fine of $5 to $20 for each of fense. In the case someone should be stabbed, the Injured person can recover one-half of the fine. A person who practices witchcraft or sorcery in order to discover lost or stolen goods is guilty of a misdemeanor under the law. A similar charge can be made against anyone who pretends . to be God and causes followers to worship them or pay them divine honors. A person who attempts to sell a floral wreath at a home where a funeral is about to be held is a disorderly person and subject to a fine. The dumping of junk on private property also puts a person in the outlaw class. Court House News Marriage Licenses Vernal L. Goodrich and Phyl lis Joyce Metzger.
