Air Force Jets
With Tactical
Washington U.R) The Air
Force is equipping jet fighter
bombers with tactical atomic
bombs having, about the same
power as those which blasted
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Informed sources said today
that A-bombs small enough to be
carried by the special planes
already are available, in limited
quantities or soon will be.
Small in Sis
The A-bombs, although smaller
in size than the ones which
forced -Japan to surrender in
1949, will enable U. S. planes to
attack enemy targets almost any
where in the world, these sources
said.
It "was reported reliably that

Movie Tax Refund
Will Be Appealed
By U.S. Treasury
Washington U.R) Relax,
Hollywood.
There's no gold for movieland
in the court decision ordering
the Treasury Department to re
fund $198,515 in income taxes
paid by actor-playwright F,
Hugh Herbert and his wife on
the 1945-46 profits of the movie
"Kiss and Tell."
Treasury officials threw a big,
wet blanket on the joy that had
been spreading through the film
colony since Federal District
Judge Leon R. Yankwich handed
down the decision in Los Ange
les Thursday.
To Appeal
They 'indicated they won't
lose any time appealing the ver
dict and they appeared confident
it would be overruled in the
higher courts.
They said there is plenty of
legal precedent against Yank
wich in previous supreme court
decisions on similar cases.
No Broad Precedent
The officials added that even
if Herbert should win, it would
not set any broad precedent that
would permit other Hollywood
figures to collect big tax re
funds.
In any event, they said, the
device Herbert used to try to re
duce his tax liability the so-
called "collapsible corporation"
has been specifically outlawed
by Congress ever since Jan. 1,
1950. .

. Bonita, Tex. XU.R) A deep
red fire roared hundreds of feet
in the air from 40 tank cars
which derailed and spilled oil

one mile east of here early Sat
urday. Nineteen of the Missouri
Kansas railroad cars were
burned and the remaining 21
were strewn about the right of
way and burning fiercely six
hours after the fire began, Fire
Chief E. B. Tucker of Nocona,
Tex., said.
Cause of the derailment was
not determined. Tucker said the
40 wrecked cars were at the end
of a string of 103 pulled by a
diesel locomotive on a Wichita
Falls-to-Denison run. Bonita is
about midway between the two
cities.

Sky Review
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer, Extension Division
Oregon Higher EducaUon System
On the curtain of dawn there
still hangs that charming little
lantern, the exquisite planet Ve
nus. This twin sister of our earth
clears the horizon in the south
east about an hour before sun
rise, so will be seen only low
in the heavens. In a few weeks
Venus will be difficult to find
in the morning sky, and not un
til summer will it be an easy
object in the western twilight.
In the early evening, Jupiter
is outstanding in the west. This
gorgeous old king of' the gods
is now setting between 8 and 9
p. m. Mercury is a little east of
the sun and still too near it to
be sighted easily, but will soon
be in a favorable position. Watch
this column for further infor
mation during the next week or
two.
Saturn Appears
Yellow, non-twinkling Saturn
peeps above the skyline slight-,
ly to the right of due east at
about the same time that Ju
piter dips into the west. Two
and one-half hours later, red
Mars rises irt the east-southeast.
Mars, now more luminous than
Saturn, will rapidly brighten un
til early May, when it will be
relatively near the earth and a
very conspicuous object.
AH that are discussed above
are planets, other worlds that are
part of our sun's family. From
Saturn, the most distant, light
travels to us at the rate of
186,300 miles per second in a
little over an hour. Now let us
look far beyond our solar sys
tem toward the real stars, all
huge suns but so distant they ap
pear small. The nearest known
star gets its light to us in a little
over four years. Our sun with its
planets is quite isolated in the
immense ocean of space.
Sirius in Splendor
Let us spot the brighter stars
around 8 p. m. Look well up in
the south for the finest of all the
distant suns. There Sirius, the
dog-star, sparkles in splendor.

Consume Much Food
San Diego, Calif. 0J.R) If
you think members of your
household consume too much
food these days, considering
prices, listen to the report of
Capt. Dennis J. Sullivan, War
wick, N. Y., commanding officer
of the USS Boxer.
Capt. Sullivan said that during
.seven months, while the large
aircraft carrier was operating off
Korea, 561,275 pounds of pota
toes and 482,487 pounds of meat
were dished out by Boxer mess
cooks.
Coffee, the "staff of life" for
Navy men, ran to more than 25
tons.
The men did away with 228,
000 loaves of bread and 38,000
pounds of butter.
Five hundred tons of vegeta
bles were boiled and served and
388,730 pounds of fruit were
used on the tables.
To wash it all down J5.177.240
gallons of water were made by
the carrier's distillation plant.

the last time I mentioned a vest
to my tailor he said sharply
"Well-dressed men do not wear

How can you argue with a man

Fishing Widows.
What is a grass widow? I
claim the term is properly ap
plied to a woman whose hus
band is temporarily absent.
Some people claim it refers to a
divorcee. Anyway, you know
what a "fishing widow" is. That,
of course, is a wife whose hus
band goes fishing every week
end and leaves her all alone and
trying to like it. Some Arizona
fishing enthusiasts go on trips
south of the border down Mex
ico way. The fishing is said to
be very good in some parts of
Mexico. After fishing all day
many of those who fish in Mex
ico do not sit around a camp-
fire. They go to one of the near
by lively border towns where
there is an abundance of wine,
women and song. Or so I am in

Tuscon, Ariz. She says her hus
band is .one of these gay
disciples of Izaak Walton. As for
her, she has been consulting
time tables to Reno. She is def
initely not amused.

claim three of the Brooklyn
Dodgers once got so balled up

the nineteen twenties when the
Brooklyn club was known as
"The Daffy Dodgers." In a game
against the Braves, "Dazzy"
