Dr. Rudolph Minkowski of the Mt. Wilson and Palonnir Observatories in California told the Pacific division meet ing of the American Associa tion for the Advancement of Science that the photograph was of a galaxy or perhaps a pair of galaxies in collision. The photograph was taken with the 200-inch Hale tele scope, world's largest optical instrument. Fastest Speed Measured Dr. Minkowski said the pin point of light was receding from earth at about half the speed of light, or some 90.000 miles per second. He said it was the fastest such speed ever measured. He said objects in space be yond our own Milky Way galary appear to be rushing away as if hurled by an ex plosion. Astronomers said the find was exciting because it may have an impact on theories of the nature and origin of matter in space. One theory says matter is being generat ed continually throughout the universe which is a stable stale. Another pictures the universe as starting with a II tantic explosion which is still in progress. Dr. Minkowski said the new galaxy was so far away it ap prared as a blurred dot on a photographic plate after a two-hour exposure. He identi fied it with the aid of astrono mers at Ihe Caltech Radio Observatory. U.A.H.

Today's newspaper editori als indicate that a somewhat abashed nation, which has al ways felt that the minority is entitled to make its com plaints heard by public dem onstration, was clearly not prepared for the excesses of violence which greeted Presi dential Press Secretary James Hagerty and U.S. Ambassador Douglas MacArthur II at Ha neda airport Friday.

The 1959 Legislature allo cated S2 15.000 for the work. State Fiscal Officer Ken neth Bragg said it appears the Interim Committee on Educa tion will return as much as $30,000 of its $75,000 - the largest appropriation. Other allocations and esti mated surpluses: Natural Re sources, $4,000 of $25,000; Ag riculture, $9,000 of $25',000; Labor-Management, S5.000 of S15.000; Public Welfare, $2, 000 of $25,000 and Criminal Law. $500 of S25.000.

Shiina replied that it is now too late to consider postponement. To guard against any gen eral explosion, 10,000 police reenforcements are quietly converging on Tokyo from the prefectural police headquar ters throughout the country. They will augment the 15,000 metropolitan police assigned to guard duty here Sunday. Dry Run Check A dry run already has been held along the 12-mile route from the airport to the city, participated in by cars simi lar to those which will bring in the Eisenhower party, and by approximately one quarter of the available police motor cycle force. In the reassuring vein, a source with access to top in telligence reports told United Press International that no repetition of the Hagerty MacArthur affair is antici pated. Noise, Banners Expected "We expect unfriendly ban ners to be displayed by the left-wing and Communist ele ments," this source said, "and as much noise as the vocifer ous minority can create. "There may be an effort to delay the motorcade on its way in from the airport by demonstrators following the time-honored custom of sit ting down in the roadway. In that case they will merely be carried out of the way by the police. "We doubt that there will be any more rock-throwing or threatened physical attack." Three-Year-Old Hurt by Automobile Grants Pass A three-year-old boy, who released the brakes on an automobile in the family driveway and then was run over by a wheel of the car, is recovering today at his ranch home about two miles south of Wimer. The child is George Ronald Bottorff, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Bottorff. Although there were no witnesses, state police believe the tot was playing in the car, and when it began to move, fell out in such a way that a rear wheel ran over his body. Members of the family said that no bones were broken but that the boy was bruised about the lung area. He was taken to Josephine General hospital following the accident, but was released Sunday. Doctors indicated that further examination will be necessary. Y MY YOU To Take Groups Latham said it is hoped the new system will make the ar mories more self sustaining "There was also a lot of in consistency in rentals, for in stance," Latham said. The state board will inven tory all armories and lay down policy in rentals and other matters. Only personnel on the old armory boards to survive the shakeup are the senior Nation al Guard officers of the occu pying unit at each armory. These officers, Latham said, will become armory mana gers, a non-paying post. They received no money for serv ing on the old boards either. The new board's president is Col. Paul L. Kleiver of Sa lem, assistant Oregon adjutant general. Other board mem bers are Col. William B. Fos ter of Eugene, vice president; Lt. Col. Clifford L. Sanders, Ashland; Lt. Col. George W. Boyd of La Grande and Lt. Col. Laurance M. Blaisdell of Salem, custodian. The old armory boards con sisted of three members, ex cept in some larger areas where there were four. Latham said in most other states, the state has control of local armories. He said the ac tion has no connection with Gov. Mark Hatfield's propos als for reorganization of state government.
