Telescope Will Give Exact Star Positions New York - (Science Serv-fce)-A new telescope that will give, for the first time, exact positions of stars in the south ern one-third of the sky, will be built in the Southern Hemisphere with a $730,000 grant announced today by the Ford Foundation here. The stellar camera will be operated jointly by Yale and Columbia universities. It will be an astrograpb, for measur ing the speed and position of stars with great precision. The only such existing a trograph, located at Lick Ob servatory, Mt. Hamilton, Calif., covers only two-thirds of the sky. The two instru ments will permit accurate measurements of stellar mo- iton throughout the Milky Way galaxy in which the sun and its family of planets are located.
