Good Weather Hoped For Eclipse of Sun Colombo, Ceylon (U.R) Scientists hoped today that bad weather won't affect their ob servations during the longest eclipse of the sun in 1200 years on June 20. Rain, floods and heavy skies have been the order of the day throughout most of Ceylon in recent weeks. However, most of the scientists feel that the areas where they have set up their ob servation stations will have dry weather in time for the eclipse. Ceylon will be the most ad vantageous place from which to view the solar phenomenon, and more than 100 scientists have gathered here from throughout the world. A major test of one of the late Dr. Albert Eistein's most fam ous predictions will be made during the eclipse. The Einstein theory to be checked is one say ing that a ray of light, traveling close to a massive body, will be slightly deflected by the mass of the body.
