CRUISER IN PORTLAND Portland (U.R) The British cruiser HMS Superb docked here at 3 D.m. vesterday for a six- day visit after a trip up the Pa cific Coast from San Francisco. paid tribute to the careers of Patterson and Langlie and add ed that he "felt certain" that when the call came for them to do more for their country that they would be willing and ready. The lareest crowd of Republi cans ever to attend a fund-rais ing dinner in Oregon applauded when Smylie declared that " the noliticians of the left forget that it is not the Republican party but the American people who need President Eisenhower. Gov. Langlie chided Oregon- ians for what he called their weaknesses in the last congres sional campaign when the state sent two Democrats to Congress. 'But let me assure you. he said, "the rest of the country is suffering with you. Lanelie said there was a strong, reasonable chance that the federal budget would be bal anced by the Eisenhower admin istration next year and he as serted Democratic candidates would be reiected because the party's "only political gimmick" was free spending. Unemployment Said Cut Gov. Patterson challended trie state GOP to go on the offen sive, pointing to what he said were the "real and actual gains t in the American standard of liv ing since Eisenhowers election. He said the Republican adminis tration had reduced unemploy ment to its lowest rate, percent agewise, ever achieved in times of peace. Presiding at the dinner in the main ballroom of the Multnomah Hotel was Elmo Smith, John Day, president of the Oregon Senate. He said the slogan lor the GOP in Oregon during the coming campaign would be 'No re-Morse in '56." jf CHRISTIAN 1 SCIENCE J iEALSyg Sundays 10:15 A.M.

(U.R) New hope for relief for arthritis suf ferers may pour from labora tory test tubes here, thanks to the research efforts of scientists in three nations. For the first time in history, scientists have succeeded in pro ducing synthetically a hormone that occurs in only tiny amounts in animals. The hormone is aldosterone, a relative of cortisone. It is the most potent of the hormones sec reted by the two adrenal glands, which lie astride the kidneys. Until now, it has taken one ton of adrenal glands removed from animals to produce less than one five-hundredths of an ounce of aldosterone. That has made it almost impossible phy sically and economically to produce the hormone in commer cial quantities. But Friday, in Zurich, Switzer land. Dr. Albert Wettstein told the 14th International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry that this powerful hormone had at last been made artificially in 30 painstaking chemical steps. The announcement was hailed as a major victory in science's fight against disease.

HUGrT PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System Last week we discussed bine moons in general and described two such phenomena the writer had witnessed. Today we give accounts from some readers who have sent in their observations: "fhen I read Harold Bell Wright's Winning of Barbara Worth, I thought his description of the blue moon was likely fic tion. But later I saw the same phenomenon in approximately the same place and probably under the same circumstances." (From Spokane, Wash.) "I have twice seen a blue moon, in Venezuela in 1919 and in British Columbia in 1939. In both cases it was midsummer." (From Wisconsin). "Spvpral months aso in the Aleutian Islands I observed a blue moon on a clear night in October. I wondered if it wasn't from volcanic action." (From an army private.) "In 1928 some friends and I sailed the yacht Red Riding Hood from England to British Honduras. When five days out from Bridgeton, Barbados, we saw a green moon. It was early April." (From Hollyburn, B.C.) Seen Oyer Lake "I observed a blue moon about 1954. The moon was rising from the Cascade Mountains in front of which was a large mountain lake." (From Monroe, wash.) W. T. Lathrop. meteorologist, ITS Weather Bureau, retired. wrote as follows: "This occurred in the early 30s when I was in charge of the 'work in Yellow stone National Park. My impres sion is that when the blue effect was first noticed, the moon was about 45 degrees high . . . The sky carried a strong suggestion of blue, a pale, weird, steely blue. I saw the blue moon for about 45 minutes. "If I were going to try to rope it out now, I would run over the possibilities of its hav ing been a polarization effect. I never did figure out any sat isfactory explanation at the time, nor since. There was some discussion of this blue moon with friends but just as little as I could manage. The 'why' of the unusual is always asked, entail ing a response that in this case I was unprepared to give. I never did like to create a fog around something I was expected to know." Cones Reverse Process R. C. Stroud of Seattle of fered this: "Psychology reveals the after-image to be vhe com plementary color of any color which has strongly affected the color perception of the eye. The cones seem to leverse their pro cess, and after staring at an or ange sky for a while the eyes seem to see a blue cloud if they are turned on a white screen. The redder the sky, the more green would the after-image be in complement. This accounts for the chap whose moon was more green than blue." o o o Rough with Green Pine Slabs Select Quality-12" or 16" Heaping Double Load $7.50 MEDFORD FUEL CO.

Mamie Praised for Dresses at Geneva New York U.R) Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower has won the praise of New York fashion ex perts for wearing her everyday Washington dresses during the Geneva "Summit" conference. A spokesman for the New York Dress Institute, represent ing some of the nation's most ex pensive dressmakers, said the First Ladv Rave a "sermon m common sense and economy" by refusing to buy a new wardrobe for the trip. "Most of us, with the pros pect of a trip ahead, rush out j madly and buy a new wardrobe, j or at least a new outfit," the j spokesman said, "but not our j Mamie." ! Judging from the dresses in j which Mrs. Eisenhower has been j photographed at Geneva, she is j happily wearing all the dresses : she ordered last spring, the In-1 stitute reported.
