I Star's Distance,
Age Revealed
By New Method
Washington- (Science Serv
ice) - If stari were like many
women In hiding their ages,
they would have to hide from
earthly telescopes, so ancient
are they.
However, they cannot now
hide their years because Dr.
Bcngt Stromgren of the In
stitute for Advanced Study,
Princeton, N. J., has develop
ed a new method for finding
the ages and distances of stars.
It can be applied to hun
dreds of thousands of stars
using telescopes no larger
than the 36-inch reflector now
in operation at the Kitt Peak
National Observatory in Ari
zona. New Information
From such observations will
come much new information
on the precise shape and com
position of the Milky Way gal
axy in which the sun and its
planets are located. By apply
in thp nnv method, astrono
mers should also learn about
the arrangement in spate oi i
stars of varying ages and'
physical characteristics. j
There is also the possibility, '
using the 200-inch telescope
atop Mt. Palomar and the 120
Inch at Mt. Hamilton, Calif.,
of investigating the physical
similarities and differences of
stars in the Milky Way galaxy I
compared to stars in other,
nearby galaxies.
These are the predictions
made here by Dr. W. W. Mor
gan, director of the University
of Chicago's Yerkes Observa
tory, Williams Bay, Wis., in
the journal Science (July 8).
To Learn Characteristics
Dr. Morgan also predicted
that the characteristics of the
average stellar population for
galaxies far beyond the Milky
Way would be determined
from studies of their shapes.
Galaxies are clusters of count
less millions of stars, such as
the Milky Way, and there are
unnumbered millions of gal
axies. Thp new method bv which
a star's age and distance are
found depends on precise
measurements of a star's radi
ation within certain narrow,
especially selected regions of
the rainbow-hued spectrum of
light. From these measure
ments, Dr. Stronmgren can de
termine the true brightness, or
fnnrlln r n w 0 T nf thA tar
From its luminosity, its age
can De determined.

Democrats Bet
Religious Issue
Sharply Declined
By LOUIS CA8SELB .
Los Angeles (UPD-The Dem
ocratic party, In nominating
a Catholic for president, Is '
betting that religious preju
dice has declined sharply In
the United States since Al
Smith lost In 1928.
It also Is taking cognizance
ot the fact that Catholics now
constitute nearly 23 per cent '
of the U.S. population, com-
pared with only 10 per cent
in 1928.
Democratic politicians
have no illusion that antl
Catholicism has disappeared
from America. But they can
cite hard political facts to but
tress their belief that it has
notably diminished. In recent
year. Catholics have been
elected as governor or sena
tor in many predominantly
non-Catholic states, Including
California, Ohio, Michigan.
Main and Minnesota.
Sen. John T. Kennedy him
self demonstrated In his West
Virginia primary victory that
a Catholic can roll up a big
majority In a state where
Catholics constitute less than ,
5 per cent of the population.
Certain Campaign Issue
It would be naive to think
that the religious issue will

publican politician who wants
to remind the voters that
Kennedy is a Catholic can do
so by making a rousing
speech against any candidate
because of his faith."
Some of Kennedy's Demo
cratic foes demonstrated the
formula repeatedly during the
battle over the presidential
nomination.
It also would be naive to
doubt that Kennedy will lose
some normally Democratic
votes simply because he is a
Catholic. In heavily Protes
tant areas like the Deep
South, where suspicion ot the
Catholic church is a deeply
ingrained historical heritage.
he may lose a great many
votes.
But Kennedy's strategists
are convinced that these loss
es will be more than offset
by the votes which he can ex
pect to pick up, In pivotal
eastern states, from Catholics
who have not been voting
Democratic In recent elec
tions.
Important Catholic Vote
Many Catholics resent any
suggestion that there is a
I "Catholic vote" which will be .
automatically attracted to
Kennedy. But Kennedy's own
lieutenants made this argu
ment, and furnished impres
sive documentation for it in
a memorandum distributed at
the time Kennedy was seek
ing the vice presidential nom
ination in 1956.
This memorandum said
voter surveys show that
"there is, or can be, such a
thing as a 'Catholic vote,
whereby a high proportion of
Catholics of all ages, resi
dences, occupations and eco
nomic status vote for a well
known Catholic candidate or
a ticket with special Catholic
appeal."
It also said that "the Cath
olic vote is far more impor
tant than Its numbers be
cause It is neavuy cunten
trated in "the pivotal states
with huge electoral votes."
Specifically, there are "
states, with a total 01 103
electoral votes, in which
Catholics constitute mora
than 30 per cent of the to
tal population. Only 270 elec
toral votes are needed to elect
a President.
