Total Solar Eclipse To Be Seen
Over Much of North America
: New York-IUPD-On July 20
the solar system will put on
its greatest show-a total solar
i eclipse that will be visible in
" varying degrees from every
part of North America.
Tens of milliqns of Ameri
'cans and scientific groups
' from a half dozen countries
'will observe the phenomenon
which will come near to
matching the celebrated
"North American eclipse of
1930.
There will not be another
eclipse of the sun visible in
any part of the United States
until 1970. And not until 2017
"will a solar eclipse be visible
to so many Americans as this
month.
Those living in a 60-mile-
wide path stretching from
Anchorage, Alaska, across
. Canada's Yukon, Northwest
Territories, S a s k a tchewan,
' Manitoba, Ontario, and Que-
j ' 4 bee to Bar Harbor, Me., will
see the dark mass of the moon
? completely blot out the. sun.
In the blackout path, the on
' ; ly light left will be a sickly
-'yellow corona around the
moon, equal in intensity to a
' half-moon's glow. Stars will
twinkle in the momentary,' un--"
natural night, birds will cease
' to twitter, and the air will
cool and fill with eerie rip
pling shadows.
- See Partial Eclipse
. Those living outside the belt
of totality will see a partial
eclipse, ranging from 92 per
cent of total in Boston to 26
c per cent in Los Angeles. But
record crowds are expected to
turn out from coast to coast
"J ' to see the heavenly spectacle,
; which fortunately falls on a
5 summer Saturday between
. f .' late morning on the West
f ' Coast and late afternoon on
the East Coast.
Maine and Quebec, the most
:; densely populated area in the
.'J blackout path, are girding
thertiselves for a tremendous
influx of visitors bent on see-
ing the total eclipse. The
i -'Maine Department of Eco
? nomic Development estimates
'1 that more than 200,000 per
? sons from other parts of
- Maine and out-of-state will de
i . scend on central Maine for

'Auto Accidents'
Called Homicides,
Suicides in Article
New York - Mounting evi
dence indicates that many of
the nation's 40,000 annual "au.
to accident" deaths are in fact
homicides or suicides, accord
ing to The Insider's Newslet
ter. . f v ,y
Though it is still being de
nied publicly, police, insur
ance and university research
ers working, , independently
in" California, Michigan, Ohio
and New York have all come
up with evidence to support
the murder-suicide theory.
Tampering with brakes and
steering mechanisms is a fac
tor, in from two to five per
cent of all moving vehicle col
lisions resulting in fatalities.
Another one to three per cent
may actually be planned col
lisions, usually of a heavy car
into the left front section of
a lighter car.
The Newsletter said that
premeditated-and unpunished
vehicular murders might to
tal 3,200 annually.
Some experts also believe
that "automurdcr" is used by
racists to intimidate Negroes
in the South.
A Mississippi member of the
President's Advisory Commis
sion on Civil Rights claims
that "every time there's pub
licized civil rights activity
either here or in neighboring
states, there's a sharp rise in
the number of Negro pedestri
ans hit by cars on the highway
-ordinarily a particularly rare
kind of accident in this part
of the world."

with the celestial show.
Other scientific groups tak
ing ground observations with
instruments and camera will
be the Hayden Planetarium
expedition in Quebec, the
Harvard Observatory in
Maine, Dutch and German ex
peditions near Great Slave
Lake in the Northwest Terri
tories, the University of Illi
nois in Manitoba and Ontario,
and the National Research
Council of Canada. Astrono
mers from the Dominion Ob
servatory, Ottawa, will take
observations from aircraft.
The scientists will be check
ing and rechecking various
aspects of eclipses, including
fluctuations of bright n e s s,
polarization of light in the
outer corona, variances of
geomagnetic and earth cur
rents, radio characteristics of
the ionoshere and deflection of
starlight by the gravitational
pull of the sun. The latter,
verified during previous
eclipses, is a confirmation of
Einstein's theory of relativity.
Eventually, scientists ex
pect to observe eclipses from
space vehicles that will be
propelled beyond the earth's
contorting atmosphere for
more perfect measurements
and photographs.
Philomath Couple

whether to fulfill the promise

"We can do no less than

against the standard we honor
and celebrate every Fourth of

ing civil rights battle in Con
gress, Morse said "in our legis
lative halls you will still hear
it said that colored Americans
are by nature inferior and un
equal to white Americans.
That is not the message of
the Declaration of Independ
ence. It tells us that all men
are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable
rights, including life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
These are not rights given by
government or by individ
uals."
Colored Citiseni Rebuffed
The notion of white suprem
acy still plagues colored citi
zens who want only to exer
cise those rights but are re
buffed and often oppressed by
those who cling fearfully,
even desperately, to their fan
tasy of racial superiority.
When Sen. Morse referred
to legislators who preach
white supremacy, he was lev
eling blame where it belongs
for it was the white politi
cians of the South who were
largely responsible for kill
ing the dream of the Fourth
of July for many other Ameri
cans. Lillian Smith, the magnifi
cently gifted Southern author,
says in her book "Killers of
the Dream" that had the poor
whites been let alone by the
politicians things might have
been better.
"But the politicians - as is
true today all over the world
-needed the rural people and
used them as ruthlessly as Ne
groes were used when they
were needed. They needed to
play voter against voter and

NEW ROTOR SYSTEM With the award of a first-phase
contract for design study of a tip turbojet rotor system,
Hlller Aircraft of Palo Alto, Calif., sees the economic feasi
bility of giant helicopters like these models. With the power
source removed from the fuselage and placed at the tips
of the rotor blades "where power is required", complex
transmissions and shafting are eliminated with resulting in
crease in performance and lower cost of operation. Greater
design freedom than the conventional helicopters would yield
flying crane types (top) and transport configurations (bot

TUESDAY. JULY 9.
Davids who learned to love
these lies which they needed
sorely to believe were true.
To be 'superior.' To be the
'best people on the earth' with
the best 'system' of making a
living, because your sallow
skin was white and you were
'Anglo-Saxon,' made you for
get that you were eaten up
with malaria and hookworm;
made you forget that you
lived in a shanty and ate pot
likker and corn bread, and
worked long hours for noth
ing. Most Precious Possession
"Nobody could take away
from you this whiteness that
made you and your way of
life 'superior.' They could
take your house, your job,
your fun; they could steal
your wages, keep you from
acquiring knowledge; they
could take your vote or cheat
you out of it; they could by
arousing your anxieties make
you impotent; but they could
not strip your white skin off
of you. It became the poor
white's most precious posses
sion, a 'charm' staving off ut
ter dissolution. . . ; and though
they did nothing about
starved minds and bodies,
nothing about health and jobs,
demagogues did keep their
starved spirits alive here on
earth with the drug of white
supremacy and Negro-hate
which the revivalists never
named as 'sins.' "
Mrs. Smith cautions that "it
is impossible to understand
these pitiful delusions of
grandeur, clung to by millions
of impoverished, ignorant,
lonely, confused people,"
