Wherry Urges Truman
To Tell 'Full Facts'
Washington, July l CU.P)
Senate republican leader Ken
neth S. Wherry, Neb., today
urged President Truman to tell
the "full facts" of the Korean
war, and democratic leader Scott
W. Lucas, 111., asked the GOP
to "stop playing politics."
Wherry, apparently with con
siderable GOP backing, told re
porters Mr. Truman should ad
dress a joint session of congress
to give the facts on how the war
is going and a preview of de
mands that eventually may be
made on the American people.
Such a move is believed under
consideration by the administra
tion. Lucas' a d m o n i t i on to the
republicans st e m m e d from an
abortive attempt by Sen. Karl
E. Mundt (R., S.D.) to bring up
the Mundt-Ferguson communist

Earth af Greatest Distance From Sun
By J. Hugh Pruati
Astronomer, Extension Division,
Oregon Higher Education System
Believe it or not, on July 5
the earth will be at its greatest
distance for the entire year from
the sun, about 94,500,000 miles.
This farthest position from Old
Sol as we travel along our oval
orbit is known as aphelion. On
January 3 we were at perihelion,
the nearest approach, or around
3,000,000 m' . than at
present. Tf J:m unrea
sonable to v ..era, but not
to the r-;.lu'' of Cape Horn
and Cap if Good Hope, for it is
now wint-ir in the southern
hemisphere.
Venus, the brightest of all the
planets and stars, is rising in the
east northeast two hours before
the sun, and Is now located al
most In the V-formation of the
Hyades. The conspicuous orange
star nearby is Aldebaran. Merc
ury is too close to the sun for
observation.
Jupiter Due South
Brilliant Jupiter is due south
about one-half hour before the
sun is up. The waning moon wli,
be very near to this fine planet
on the morning of July 3.
For the evening stars and
planets, let us observe an hour
after sunset. Across the sky
from the west to the south south
west we find a fine line of bright
objects. The brightest of these
Is the red planet Mars, although
Four Missing or Dead
In Florida Plane Fall
Tampa, Fla., July 1 (U.R)
Four airmen were missing or
dead today in the crash of a B-50
bomber that caught fire on take
off from MacDill air force base
last night and plunged into the
ground like a flaming comet.
Eight crewmen, including the
pilot, bailed out. One other was
believed to have parachuted but
searchers were unable to find his
parachute or body. Three men
apparently were trapped In the
burning bomber.

BUDDY COUGHS UP
Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) Buddy,
a bull dog owned by Mr. and
Mrs. John M. Ward, ate half of
a $100 bill. The bank wouldn't
give full Value for the half bill,
so the Wards had a veterinarian
pump the remainder of the cur
rency out of Buddy's stomach
and got their money.
It is fast losing Its brilliance of
a few months ago. The color will
easily 1 o c at e the "warlike"
world.
Somewhat to the left of Mars,
the white star Spica glitters;
and to the right, the yellow
planet Saturn. Still farther to
the right, white Regulus com
pletes the celestial line.
Neptune East of Mars
The telescopic planet Neptune
is now only slightly east of Mars.
On the evening of July 15, Nep
tune will be only two degrees
above the red planet. Telescope
operators who know the angular
width of field taken In by their
low power eyepieces should be
able to find this distant planet
easily. If a diagram Is made of
the stars In the field of view
and the same field can be located
a few nights later, one object
will be somewhat displaced. This
is Neptune.
Not far southwest from the
zenith the orange star Arcturus
glitters brightly. The Kite, the
stellar configuaration of which
'Vrcturus marks the lower part,
xtends to the zenith.
Star Moves Eastward
Almost down to the horizon
about due northwest. Castor
twinkles. And at practically the
same altitude but near the north
northwest, Capclla is shining
with yellow light. Four hours
later this star will have moved
eastward and will appear In the
north northeast.
Looking toward the east at
our observing hour, we find
Vega scintillating very high in
the sky and almost due east.
Somewhat lower and toward the
northeast. Deneb is conspicuous.
Considerably lower and south
of east, Altair shines between
two stars of lesser brilliance.
