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.

Giant Sunspots
By J. 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.

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.

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.
