"In addition," he said, "expe

Soviets Waiting
Arthur O. Diets, president
of C. I. T. Financial Corp., said
for several years the Soviets
have been waiting for the U.S.
economy to crash and pull down
the economies of the free world
with it.
"Soviet writers have since em
phasized that such a depression
has not occurred because of the
continued growth of consumer
credit in the United States," he
said.
Dietz. who heads the world's
second biggest finance company,
said "the c o n t i nued rise of
sound installment financing in
this country, apparently has con
vinced the Russians that install
ment cred: is a vital force con
tributing significantly to this na

Zelomek said in his opinion
the Russians have decided, "if

Sirius Brightest Star
The brightest star in the heav

50 billion miles away. It is about
26 times as bright as our sun.
Not exactly small: it's about 1,
500.000 miles across. Its mass
weighs roughly 45,000,000 bil
lion tons.
But if all the stars could be
viewed at the same distance,
then the brightest would be
Sigma Dodarus which looks
very faint to us on earth . . .
but it is about 300.000 times
brighter than our sun.
With the exception of our
own sun, the nearest star is 4.3
light years away. That means
25.757 billion miles away. A
rocket loafing along at 5.000
miles an hour would take 575.
600 years to get there roughly,
about 23.000 generations of
earthlings.
Of stars measured, the one
with the greatest diameter is
Epsilon Aurigae. It is 2'.z bil

is so vast that our own solar
system of the sun and the six
planets out as far as Saturn
could -be accommodated inside.
