WASHDAY WAS DRUDGERY in Grandmother's day-;-.,-.- long hours of sweating,
straining, back-breaking work. Today's housewife uses a modern washer and dryer.
Manufacturers have reduced washday -chores to a turn ef a diaL
But to mass produce millions of washers and dryers, manufacturers must
be able to sell them by the millions. Only by advertising can manu
facturer talk to millions of people at one time..
ADVERTISING TELLS the story of new home appliances and helps sell them.
The more it sells, the more must be made keeping the production lines and the jobs
going. The result: newer, better home appliances at prices more people can afford
to pay. Advertising helped make the difference in home appliances, and in our
American way of life.

Semi. Watkiiras Praises
High Court fJommBBuee
BY HERBERT FOSTER
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Arthur V. 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

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.

Astronomy
By J. 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.

Questions
3. "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.
