'Subversive' Teachers
May Be Discharged
Washington U.PJ The Su
preme Court has armed states
and cities with clear constitu
tional authority to fire "subver
sive" public school teachers, pro
vided they are first given a hear
ing. Legal experts placed the broad
interpretation ' Tuesday on the
court's 6 to 3 ruling upholding
New York state's anti-Communist
Feinberg law.
But authorities agreed that no
constitutional significance could
be read into another 6 to 3 de
cision, affecting public schools,
which the court handed down
Mjuday. -
' In that action, the court threw
out the complaint of two New
Jersey parents who challenged
a state law authorizing Old Tes

tation of the Lord's prayer at

Newly-Found Star
Doubles Brightness
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) A
star has been discovered which
doubles in brightness within 10
minutes, according to the Uni
versity of California astronomy
department.
Dr. Olin J. Eggen, while mak
ing observations at the Com
monwealth Observatory in Can
berra, Australia, discovered the
star, which has the shortest vari
ation cycle known. It changes
from its dimmest to its brightest
every 80 minutes, and at the
peak of the cycle doubles its
brightness in 10 minutes.
Dr. Eggen pointed out that
the 80-minute changes he ob
served actually took place on
the star 120 years ago because
it is 120 light years away from
the earth.
