It missed that by one cent and closed Trainers Crash Near Japan Sea Iwakuni, Japan (IP) -Three U.S. Air Force jet trainers crashed into the sea moments after they took off together from the marine air facility here Saturday. Officers said all three pilots were presumed dead. Rescue crews searching in darkness found one crash hel met, bits of wreckage and a "portion" of one body, a Marine Base spokesman said. Two helicopters, two Navy search planes and small rescue craft began the search short ly after the F-84G trainers went down, at 7:12 p.m. (5:12 a.m., EST). It was called off at midnight, to be resumed at daybreak. "The only thing that is definitely known, a Marine officer said, "was that one flash of light was seen on the water where one of the planes went down. We don't know if they flamed out, collided, or what." The planes made radio con tact as they were being cleared for takeoff but there was no contact by radio after that. They were in the air for only about one minute when the flash of light was seen on the water. Chester Nimifz Has Bronchitis San Diego, Calif. W Fleet Adm. Chester W.

Sirius Visible Early in Evening in Southeast By FAY BENTLEY His body is dark but a. star on his jaw sparkles with more life than any other star," wrote the Greek poet Aratos, as he referred realistically to Sirius, the brightest star in all the heavens. Sirius is not only the most brilliant star in the entire sky but is observable from every habitable portion of the earth and from ancient times has been a night time center of attraction to all the peoples of the globe. The matchless brilliance of this giant sun has made it historically the most interesting of all the stars in the celestial firma ment. Canis Major is a legendary dog that always accompanied the Mighty Hunter, Orion, in his search for game. Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, forms the head of the Great Dog. Associated with Idea Although from ancient times this constellation has been pictured as one of Orion's hounds, we find that nations unacquainted with the myth of the Mighty Hunt er has associated Sirius with the idea of a dog. The name and form of Ca nis Major seem to have come from the Egyptians who watched the rising of the star, Sirius, with unusual care. The morning appearance of this "King of Suns," marked the swelling of the Nile river. It was highly important to foretell the time of this event as people in the flood areas had to, leave their homes while . the fertilizing waters inundated their land. To these families, Sirius seemed like a faithful dog whose appear ance was a reminder of dan ger. Named Nile Star The Egyptians often called this star, A n u b i s, which means the dog or monitor. It was also named the "Nile Star," and held in great rev erence because of the service rendered. As many as seven Egyptian temples were ar ranged in such a manner that light rays from this brilliant sun as it rose or set could touch the inner altar or holy of holies. Anubis, pictured as a man with the head of a dog was deified and worshipped. As a flood warning he was painted with wings on his feet, a ket tle in his arms, and a large feather under his arm. Fol lowing close behind him were two reptiles, a duck, and a tortoise. This sign reminded many families that moving day had arrived. In mythology, Canis Major, the favorite hound of Orion was left on the island of Chios when ..his master journeyed to the sun temple to obtain healing for his eyes which had been blinded at the order of the king of the island. With restored vision he went to live on the island of Crete where he followed the hounds with Diana, the moon goddess, till Apollo, her broth er, tricked her into killing Orion with one of her arrows. All this time Canis Major was dying of loneliness and starvation as he searched day by day for his beloved master on the island of Chios. In com passion, Jupiter placed them both in the sky where they might hunt together through out eternity. By 8 p.m., Canis Major is well above the southeastern horizon. It can be easily lo cated by beginning with the Belt of Orion. This is a short slanted line of three stars of equal brightness and equally spaced. At 8 p.m., it will be found in the southeastern sky about half way between the horizon and the overhead point. An imaginary line begin ning at the top star in the Belt and continuing through the stars of the Belt down ward to the left for about 24 degrees will point out the star, Sirius, head of the Big Dog. The Belt is three degrees long. Dimmer stars outline a sort of stick figure body, long and slender. However, it required a vivid imagination to see the form of a dog in this star group.

Renaissance Starts, Stokowski Predicts By DOCQUIGG United Press Correspondent New York (W "There is an intense musical creative heat in America now I be lieve we are at the start of a great growth, a renaissance, of cultural life." L e o p ol d Boleslawowicz Stanislaw Antoni Stokowski, commonly known as Stoky, is the properietor of what may be the best "known set of hands in the country.

In the last 10 or 12 years there has been a marked growth of our com posers. Orchestras Spring Up "A second evidence of the musical renaissance is the fact that orchestras are spring ing up all over the country. I conduct the Houston Symp hony Orchestra, but there are two others in the same city. Many cities have three or chestras. "And another thing I notice more and more talent ed individual artists, instru menalists and singers." Stokowski began waving his eloquent hands before symphony orchestras as a conductor more than 50 years ago and has pursued his ca reer through the concert halls of many cities in radio, on records and in four movies. But he does not care to dwell in the past. Music International Language "I'm interested in thfc fu ture. You can model the fu ture like clay in your hands. This spring I will conduct in France, Yugoslavia, Czecho slovakia and Russia. I notice wherever you go, people are always the same. "Iri the world of politics, there is the frontier, the bor der, between peoples. But not in music. In each of those countries, my programs will be half American and half the music of that country." Would his American selec tions be very modern? "It will be all new Ameri can music, composed within the last four years. And two of the works were composed in the last four months," How come he's using such new American stuff? "Because I like it," Stokow ski replied emphatically. . Why? "It's beautiful, dynamic, an expression of life today be cause it's good music."

"There was the time I was working in a railroad yard shed and two bums stumbled in. They took one look and ran off yelling that the world was turning against them. Some people just can't stand change," she laughed. "The train crews used to gawk ' and stare when they first saw me," she said. "Now they take it in stride. It used to make the fellows tone down their language. "But not anymore. Now they think of me as just one of the fellows."
