April Sky Review
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer. . Extension Division .
Oregon Higher Education System
The gorgeous planet Venus,
which since the first of the year
has been such a splendid sight
glowing in the dawn sky, can
still be seen near the southeast
ern horizon shortly before sun
rise. However, it has lost some
of its lustre and is no longer seen
in the dark sky. Mercury is also
in the morning sky but too near
the sun for observation. The lit
tle "messenger of the gods" will
pass almost behind old Sol on
April 22.
For "evening star and planet
study, let us observe at about
8:0 p.m. standard time. Mars is
still in the evening sky as a red
dish object near the Pleiades,
not very far above the horizon.
Spurrier Misses
New Record Try
Fresno, Calif. U.R) Long
Lon Spurrier, former University
of California trackster who
broke the world record for the
half-mile a week ago, was hamp
ered by gusty winds Saturday as
he 'failed in his attempt to crack
the recognized mark for the sec
ond time in as many Saturdays.
Spurrier, who shattered the
existing mark by more than a
second at Berkeley last Satur
day, was clocked in 1:50.5 this
afternoon an even three sec
onds off his record of 1:47.5.
Bud Held and Cy Young, both
of the Olympic club battled it
out in the javelin and despite
the wind Held threw 250 feet 7
inches, almost a foot better than
his Olympic mark. Young's
throw was good for 242 feet 4
inches, and a new stadium record.
Little Hope Held
After Knockout
Trenton, N. J. (U.R) Boxer
Bryan Thompson clung tenuous
ly to life Saturday, two days
after a neurology surgeon had
held out "little hope" for his re
covery. -
Officials at St. Francis Hos
pital, where the 23-year-old mid
dleweight was taken after a
knockout in his first profession
al bout last Tuesday, said there
was "no change" in his condi
tion, described as "very criti
cal."
State Boxing Commissioner
Joseph H. Walker, keeping close
tab on Thompson's condition,
said he intends to hold a full
hearing if the fighter dies. Jerry
Luedde of New Haven, Conn.,
the opponent who floored
Thompson, has been notified to
prepare himself for further
questioning if the injury proves
fatal.

lem Gobetrotters trailed only

Portland , (U.R) Promoter
Tommy Moyer said lightweight
Bobby Woods of Spokane would
fight in his first fight card here
May 3. Moyer said he hoped to
get Sonny Amoroso of California
to oppose Woods.
GETS NEWBERG JOB
Estacada (U.R) Keith Moore,
football, track and wrestling
coach at Estacada high school,
said today he had resigned to
coach at Newberg high next
fall.. No successor has been an
nounced here.
It is getting so distant that it is
hardly brighter than the Big
Dipper stars. Very high a little
southwest of the zenith Jupiter
is brilliant. (Saturn will rise in
the east-southeast about 10 pjn.
It is a yellow, non-twinkling ob
ject of considerable brightness.)
All Real Stars
Aside from the moon now
approaching the full phase all
the other luminaries in the heav
ens are real stars, intensely hot,
blazing suns, many far larger
than our sun but appearing
small only because of their in
conceivably enormous distances
from us earth dwellers.
Low in the southwest the fin
est of all stellar lights, Sirius,
the Dog star, glitters vividly.
This is the principal star in the
Big Dog, the follower of Orion,
the Hunter. Dimmer stars in this
locality complete the group. Sir
ius is often pictured as the jewel
hanging from the dog's collar.
Higher and toward the zenith we
find Procyon, of lesser bright
ness, which marks the location
of Orion's Little Dog.
Orion himself now hangs low
above the sky line in the west
southwest. Note a short horizon
tal line of three stars of equal
brightness. This is the hunter's
belt. A large four-sided figure
with prominent stars in each
corner surrounds the belt and
outlines Orion's body and legs.
The reddish star in the upper
left is Betelgeuse; the white
flasher in the lower right, Rigel.
Twins Seen
A little southwest of the ze
nith in the direction of Orion
note the Twins standing side by
side, orange Pullux and yellow
Castor. Much lower and almost
due west, orange Aldebaran tops
one arm of the small V (mostly
dim stars) of the Hyades. To the
right of the Hyades the, tiny,
charming dipper of the Pleiades
catches the observer's eyes. Con
siderably above the Pleiades, yel
low Capella is splendid.
Low in the southeast, white
Spica scintillates. Well up and
about due east orange Arcturus
is prominent. Tracing to the left
of Arcturus one can outline
among dim stars the shape of a
kite lying on its side. Almost
south of the zenith blue-white
Rgulus marks the end of the
handle of the celestial Sickle.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN
Dissenting Groups Organize
Against Pay-As-You-Go TV
New York U.R) The dis-course, maintain they won't up-
senters are swinging into organ
ized action as the deadline nears
for submission of reports to the
Federal Communications Com
mission bearing on petitions that
it approve a system of pay-to-see
television.
Two organizations have been
set up to fight any of the several
proposed plans whereby sets
could be hooked into special cir
cuits that would carry special
TV entertainment solely for
subscribers. The latter weuld
drop a coin in a clot, punch a
card or otherwise register pay
ment for each program they
wanted to see.
The dissenting organizations
are the committee against pay-as-you
see TV and the organi
zations for free-TV. They are co
relating their activities and
this week they announced the
joint retention of Hogan and Ho
gan Laboratories, Inc., as engin
eering counsel.
"We are confident that this
firm will develop information
that will be most useful to the
commission," said a statement of
the committee against pays TV.
The FCC has set May 9 as the
deadline for submission of re
ports from all parties interested
in the matter.
An economic study of the mat
ter in behalf of the committee
against pay TV is being pre
pared by Dr. Dallas Smyth of
the University of Illinois.
The "anti" organizations ex
press the fear that subscription
television will work an eco
nomic hardship on viewers who,
both in radio and TV, have nev
er had to pay for the entertain
ment out of the air.'
The subscription TV people, of
set the applecart, that the cur
rent type of broadcasting will
carry on as usual and that their
offerings will just be a plus in
entertainment for those who
want to buy it at a rather nomi
nal fee.
While May 9 is the deadline
set by the FCC for submission
of opinions and presumably it
will thereafter plunge right into
work toward a decision, experts
in the industry believe it will be
a considerable time,, possibly as
much as two or three years, be
fore an opinion is reached and
announced.
