The twilight skies of April
arc aglow with bright planets.
Of the five that are conspicuous
objects when in observable loca
tions, all but one now dot the
zodiacal band of early evening.
Mercury alone is missing from
this celestial array.
After an absence of nearly a
year, Venus lias recently re
turned to the evening sky. Many
will remember the splendor of
this bright planet during the
Christmas season of 1!H4, when
its brilliance seemed to vie with
the combined light of all others
of the starry hosts. In the deep
ening twilight, this radiant ob
ject may now again be seen well
up in the west.
As spring advances, Venus
will become brighter, appear

Decree Clears
Sect Members
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6
(IP) Draft act convictions of
three members of the Jehovah's
Witnesses sect who walked
away from conscientious objec
tors' camps were reversed yes
terday by the ninth federal cir
cuit court of appeals. A sep
arate decision upheld an 18
month sentence for a member
of the Friends of Reconciliation.
The court sent the cases back
to district courts in Pocatello,
Idaho, and Portland, Ore., cit
ing supreme court rulings that
juries in such cases should be
permitted to consider the
claims of the draftees to be
classified as ministers rather
than conscientious objectors.
Two of the religious sect
members, Wesley W. Cox, Ash
land, Ore., and Theodore R.
Thompson, Medford, Ore., were
sentenced to three years and
three months in prison and
fined $300 each by Judge
Chase A. Clark at Pocatello in
October, 1944, Both men had
reported for the draft and
checked In at a civilian public
service camp for objectors at
Downey, Idaho, but then de
parted without leave.
The third man. Wilbur Hoi-
sum, Vancouver, Wash., fol
lowed tne same course from a
camp at Lapine, Ore. He was
given a two-year sentence by
Judge Claude McCullough at
Portland.
Japanese Vandals
Steal Food Rat-ions
TOKYO, April 6 (IP) The
fifth air force announced today
that Japanese vandals caused
"minor damage" when; they
raided several airplanes at Chofu
army air base near Tokyo and
stole emergency food rations.
The thieves cut power and
telephone lines, presumably to
prevent detection in their Thurs
day night spree. Then they broke
into some airplanes and escaped
with the food after damaging
the equipment in which the ra
tions were packed.
LiDimr in the twilieht sky and
farther toward the north. Late
in Mnv, it will set well toward
the northwest. By early Aug
ust it will again be setting al
most due west; and in Novem
ber, just before finally leaving
the evening sky for another ab
sence of many months, will ap
pear in the southwest.
Jupitor Rising
Jupiter, the largest of nil the
planets, is now rising slightly
south of east shortly after sun
set. The brilliance of this world
surpasses that of any other star
like object in the sky with the
exception of Venus. Jupiter's
lack of twinkling when near the
horizon shows definitely that it
is not a true star.
Mars and Saturn, still near
each other, are now very high
iu the evening sky somewhat
south of the zenith. As during
the past several months, they arc
still tracing various figures with
the nearby bright stars, Castor
and Pollux. During this coming
week, these four will form a
varicolored, but somewhat awk
ward, letter L. Yellow-white
Castor, the dimmest of the four,
will be at the top of the L;
orange Pollux, somewhat bright
er, lower down; and red Mars,
still brighter, at the bend of the
letter. At the right tip of the
L. yellow Saturn, the most lumi
nous of all, will complete the
figure.
It will be most interesting to
watch the movement of Mars
from night to night. Within two
weeks our letter L will be con
siderably deformed; a few weeks
later, completely indistinguish
able. Castor and Pollux are
very distant suns of extremely
high temperature; not planets,
relatively nearby and cool.
The apparent luminosities oi
the planets under discussion give
us no certain data regarding
their comparative sizes, une
brilliancies as we see them de
pend upon several factors: actual
size, distance from both the sun
and earth, surface reflection,
etc. In equatorial diameter they
may be arranged as follows:
Mars, 4200 miles; Venus, 7600
miles; Saturn, 75,000 miles, and
Jupiter, 89,000 miles. In dis
tance outward from the sun, the
naked-eye planets are in this
order: Mercury, Venus, (earth).
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Plans To Improve
Fairgrounds Talked
Ideas for improving fairground
facilities came under lively dis
cussion last night at a meeting
attended by representatives of
rodeos, the Klamath Sheriff's
Posse, riding clubs and members
of the fair board.
It was apparent that some
dickering will be necessary to
consider all groups in planning
any extension of present facili
ties. All agreed, however, that
a larger covered pavilion would
be a commendable improvement
for holding inside stock shows
and exhibits and for winter
horseback riding.
The ideas discussed will be
-referred to the original, com
mittee for fairground improve
ment, representing the Cal-Ore
Hereford association, agricul
tural interests and 4-H club, in
terested in improving show
facilities.

Ranks Of Idle
Mount Higher
By Th Associated Pun
The ranks of the idle because
of labor disputes moved toward
the 800,000 mark today as cur
rent work stoppages forced thou
sands of workers to leave their 1
Jobs and now strikes threatened.
On the credit sldu of the labor :
strife was the hope held for the
ending of two long strikes in
volving more than 100,000 work
ers in plants of the Westinghouse
Electric company and the Inter
national Harvester company.
About 787,000 remained Idle
throughout the country because
of lubor disputes.
The six-day-old work stoppage
by 400,000 AFL soft conl miners
brought curtailed business in the
steel mills and railroads and at
least 12,000 workers In those two
industries were made Idle, They
Included 8000 In U. S. Steel cor
poration subsidiaries and more
than 4000 on coal-carrying rail
roads. In Detroit, where a transporta
tion strike continued for the
sixth day, approximately 51,000
auto plant workers in tho motor
city area wcro idle because of
work stoppages and parts and
materials shortages. A strike of
115 CIO United Auto Workers
union truck drivers at the BriK.i
Manufacturing company's Mack
avenue plant resulted in 12,000
workers being sent home.
