Watkins (R-Utah) said Saturday John Marshall Harlan demonstrated under intensive senatorial questioning that "he will be a credit to the Supreme Court." . The Senate Judiciary Commit tee ended its hearings on Har lan's nomination to the high court late Friday but took no final action. Chairman Harley M. Kilgore (D-W.Va.) said the nomination will not be voted on "before next Tuesday at the earliest. Watkins told newsmen he was glad some committee members questioned Harlan sharply, "Even though some of the ques tions were improper, for they brought out the fact that he knew what the proprieties were." Found No Faults "He gave very complete and devastating answers," Watkins said. "The committee found nothing against him." Sen. Price Daniel (D-Tex.) said Harlan satisfied him on one point "He made clear he doesn't subscribe to world gov ernment or any organization that would surrender any sover eignty of the United States." But some " other committee members were on record as op posing President Eisenhower's nominee. The committee won from Har lan a promise to resign from or ganizations favoring Atlantic Union and the United Nations when he reaches the Supreme Court. Not Active Member Harlan said that though he was a member of the 500-man Union Committee and once joined a group called "Citizens Association of the United Na tions," he had taken no part in their activities. But he said a Supreme Court justice had no Advisory Council of the Atlantic business belonging to those groups. When Sen. William E. Jenner (R-Ind.) read a statement that Atlantic Union favors common citizenship, laws and money for North Atlantic Nations united against aggression and eventual world government, Karlan said that was the first Advertising helped make the difference time he had heard those aims. "I disassociate myself," he said. - . . Gen. John Hull, Far East Leader, Retires April 30 Washington (U.R) Gen. John E. Hull, U.S. Far East com mander, will retire on April 30 after more than 37 years of mili tary service, it was announced Saturday. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chief of U. S. Army forces in the Far East and a wartime 8th Army commander in Korea, was the most mentioned prospect to suc ceed Hull. Taylor arrived here un-announced this week for con ferences and has avoided report ers. He returns to Japan shortly. Successor Not Named The Army, in announcing Hull's retirement date and plans to return to the United States in early April, said no successor has been named. Hull will shed his four - star Army uniform 26-days short of his 60th birthday anniversary. As America's top military man in the Far" East, he has a dual command. He is chief of all U.S. Army, Navy and Air Forces and is head of the United Nations Command which was set up early in the" Korean War. His area embraces Japan, Korea and Okinawa. Combat Veteran No limelight seeker in his long career, Hull is a decorated com bat veteran of World War I and a top staff officer of World War II. He directed the Eniwetok atom bomb tests in 1948. He was Army vice-chief of staff before taking over the Far East com mands from Gen. Mark Clark, retired, in Oct. 1953.

HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System The discussion of some ques tions recently received by me from three anonymous tele phone callers will likely be of general interest. 1. "Is the planet Jupiter ever visible to the naked eye?" Most certainly it always is whenever it is above the hori zon, when the sky is unclouded and it is dark. The next clear evening look toward the east. The most brilliant star-like ob ject in view is ; Jupiter. You can't miss it. 2. "How much; does the earth's surface curve from a straight line in a mile? The answer is eight inches per mile, 32 inches in two' miles, 72 in three miles, 128 in four miles, etc. You will note that 32 is-four times eight; 72 is nine times, and 128 is 16 times. These are thus varying as the square of the distance. Surface Will, Lower If we take a perfectly level surface, such as an extensive lake of motionless water and start a straight line out in a horizontal direction, by the time the line has gone a mile, the surface of the water will be eight inches below this line. Or if your eye is placed eight inches above the surface, you can see a point on the surface a mile away. The general for mula for the distance one can see over level water or land is, this: distance in miles equals the square root of (32 times the height in feet). Here are some results from the formula: At a height of 100 feet one can see a point on still water or level ground 12.25 miles distant; at one mile, 89 miles; at 1.7 miles (the height attained by a manned , balloon in 1935), 330 miles. At this highest figure, the curvature of the earth could be noted. Forest Hibbard Wins Toasfmasfer Contest Forest Hibbard won first place in the annual speaking contest of the Medford Toastmasters club held last week. His topic was "America Needs New Ideals."

"What is the speed of sound in air at sea level?" Variea With Temperature This varies somewhat with the temperature. At the freez ing point of water the speed is 1087 feet per second. This means sound will go a mile in approximately five seconds, or 12 miles in a minute. One can thus estimate the distance to a lightning flash by timing the interval between the flash and the roll of the thunder. The light comes almost instantane ously, 186,300 miles per second. Sound travels over 700 miles an hour under the conditions mentioned. We read of jet planes exceeding this. 4. "How far out must one go from the earth to find a place where gravity does not act? Theoretically, the force of gravity will act at any distance, wm...rs. JAMES A. MICHEKEKlS AtE TOKO -HI A.
