their own gas masks to be worn in event of enemy attack.

Beauty in Twilight
Br J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer. Extension Division
Oregon Tifher Education System
Now that the long lummer
evenings again are with us and
iince there will be no appre
ciable moonlight to interfere
With our study for the next 10
days, we have the opportunity,
if clear skies favor us, to ob
serve the beauty found in the
twilight or the gloaming, as
the poets sometimes term it.
'Were the earth without an
iry covering the condition
prevailing on the moon deep
flight would immediately follow
unset. Twilight comes from the
reflection of sunlight from the
part of our atmosphere extend
ing from near the earth up to
50 miles above us. Shortly after
sunset we get most of the re
flection" from the lower and
denser sections which are quite
dust-laden. This gives strong
twilight.
Atmosphere Too Rare
- Later, as the sun sinks farther
below the horizon, its rays strike
only the higher thinner part.
Above 50 miles the atmosphere is
too rare and distant for human
eyes to detect reflections from
it. When the sun reaches 18
degrees below the sky line, its
rays can illuminate no air un
der the 50 mile limit and as
tronomical twilight ends. But
long before this most eyes can
dectect no reflected light in the
sky. Civil twilight ends when
the sun is only six degrees be
low the horizon.
At the equator, where old Sol
always sinks "straight down,"
twilight is shorter than any
where else in the world. In our
middle northern latitudes, and
especially during the summer,
the sun goes down at a consid
erable slant northward and re
quires much longer than at the
equator to lose its effect on the
sky. At the latitude of Van
couver, B.C., during the time of
the longest days, some twilight
exists in the northern sky all
night. Still farther north this is
much more pronounced in every
respect.
Opposite Place of Sunset
A most interesting spectacle
detectable first perhaps 20 min
utes after sundown is the rising
of the dark twilight arc. This
comes up opposite the place of
sunset, so at this season is cen
tered in the southeast, and is
best observed when the sky is

unusually clear.
Let us watch the southeast
while strong twilight still fills
the entire sky. Soon a diffuse
pinkish fringe rests on the ho
rizon. Almost imperceptibly it
widens and rises, assuming the
shape but not the colors of
a rainbow. Gradually all the
space beneath the narrow curve
of pink appears deep blue and
very dark. This is actually the
shadow of the earth on its own
atmosphere". Within its bound
aries all twilight tints have al
ready departed and real night
has arrived.
Long before this arc reaches
the zenith, its edge becomes con
fused. When finally it touches
the sunset horizon, all twilight
is gone from the sky and night
reigns supreme across the entire
visible firmament.
Convicted Murderer
Requests Judgment
Klamath Falls (U.FU Florin
M. "Curley" Coon, convicted
murderer, Friday filed with the
Klamath county circuit court a
petition asking for a judgment
in his favor notwithstanding the
verdict.
Coon's attorneys asked for a
new trial if the judgment were
denied. A hearing on the motion
will be held next week.
A week-long trial brought out
sordid testimony of the beating
of Lily Coon following a drink
ing party last Oct. Coon was
found guilty of second degree
murder last May 27. He was sen
tenced to life imprisonment.
. During , the trial, defense at
torneys repeatedly moved for
dismissal on grounds the indict
ment failed to contain sufficient
facts to constitute a crime and
that the state had not proven all
the allegations in the indictment.
The defense also charged the
state with turning the trial into
a sex case.

Boy Awaits Circus
With Good Reason
Hell See Mother
Seven-year-old Charles Grady,
who lives with his grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Higdon, Fern
Valley rd., is looking forward to
the arrival June 16 of Clyde
Beatty's circus with more than
usual interest, even for a boy
his age.
It means he will have a visit
CHj Could Assume
Grady, who travels with the
circus, and then a week with his
mother as the circus continues
on its circuit. She is downtown
ticket seller for the organization.
Long With Circus
Mrs. Grady, the former Miss
Golda Higdon, is the widow of
the late Ed Grady, and for 10
years the couple traveled to
gether with the bigtops. They
both did various circus jobs, and
her favorite was showing the
gaited horses. .She also did a
great deal of trapeze ' work
which she learned after touring
with the shows. Her husband
died about IVi years ago and she
rejoined the circus this year af
ter an absence from performing.
She was graduated from Med
ford High school and was a mem
ber of the first graduating class
from the present building on
South Oakdale ave., which was
in the 1930s. She also attended
Washington grade school and
Medford Junior high school.

Russell Wants
On Military Reserve Setup
Washington (U.R) Chair
man Richard B. Russell (D-Ga )
of the Senate Armed Services
committee said Saturday he is
willing to have the Senate
launch another military reserve
bill if assurances are given that
the House will act on it.
Because the Senate has ap
proved military training mea
sures in past years only to see
them die in the House, Russell
has . waited this year for the
House to act.
A compulsory reserve bill was
approved recently by the House
Armed Services committee, but
it was stalled on the House floor
by adoption of an amendment
to outlaw segregation in Na
tional Guard units. This action
converted southern backers of
the bill into opponents.
Ike Issues Appeal
President Eisenhower has
since appealed to the Senate to
revive the bill, and Senate lead
ers have made soundings on
ways to salvage it. Administra
tion pressure has developed to
attach the reserve program to
the draft extension bill, on
scheduled to act Monday.
It completed hearings Friday
on the bill to extend the draft
for four years.
Russell told reporters Satur
day however, that he is opposed
to combining the bills. He said
the draft measure, already pas
sed by the House must be enact-

Scheele Says. Theory Behind
Polio May Be Used To Fight
Washington (U.R) Surgeon
General Leonard A. Scheele
feels there is "good reason to
believe" that the theory behind
the Salk polio vaccine can be
used in developing vaccines
against other diseases.
Aides said diseases' which
might be so conquered are com
mon colds, influenza, virus pneu
monia, measles and even cancer.
Scheele made his prediction at
a two-hour news conference cal
led Friday to discuss the Public
Health Service's massive report
House Action
ed by June 30 when the present
law expires
The Senate could not move a
reserve bill, he said, without
committee hearings, which
would mean that this part of the
military manpower program
could not be enacted before
June 30.
Russell said he has no objec
tion to the "Senate launching a
separate bill, but that there is
no reason why the House com
mittee cannot make a fresh start
on its own.
There is virtually no chance
that a reserve bill carrying an
anti-segregation amendment can
be passed. Hence, any second at
tempt in the House would s
sume that House leaders could
muster the votes to defeat the
amendment or could sustain a
House-Senate conference com
mittee which might knock it out.

Lev 'Can't Remember' How
$214,000 Used;; McClellan
Not Satisfied by Testimony
Washington (U.R) Harry
Lev, the millionaire cap maker,
testified Saturday that he could
not remember just how he used
nearly $214,000 in cash he with
drew from banks over a two
year period.' But he insisted
that none of it was used to "pay
off" government employees to
help him in profitable federal
contracts.
He concluded five days of
testimony before the Senate's
Permanent Investigating Sub
committee but failed to satisfy
Chairman John L. McClellan (D
Ark.) "We've given you every op
portunity to explain but you
failed to do so," McClellan told
the Polish-born Chicagoan who
has manufactured military caps
for the government.
May Resume Probe
' McClellan adjourned the hear
ings and said subsequent inves
tigation would determine wheth
er they will be resumed.
Saturday's session also was
marked by:
1. Testimony by Carmine Bel
lino, subcommittee accountant,
that Lev had funds totaling
$1,403,245 available to him. in
1952 and 1953 and that, Lev per
sonally had used $213,924.08 in
those two years.
Vaccine for
Other Ills
has been fransnirine
O'Connor said the public will
be able to form an "intelligent"
conclusion only when it has
heard Dr. Jonas E. Salk's version
of the vaccine story. He did not
indicate when Salk, developer
of the vaccine, would give this
version .
Scheele agreed the govern
ment's report was incomplete
about vaccine produced by Cut
ter Laboratories, as stated by O'
Connor. The surgeon general
said this was because the gov
ernment has not completed its
investigation of polio cases
among children inoculated with
Cutter vaccine.
When the University of Pitts-
Durgn wnere aaiK works was
asked to comment on the Public
Health Service report, a spokes
man referred to Salk's statement
earlier this week to the Ameri
can Medical Assn. convention.
At that time, he said his orig
inal testing methods are "sound."
He said what is required in the
manufacturing process is a "clo
ser approximation in practice"
to his tests.
