Ten Years In Prison For Red Aid LONDON, May 1 () Dr. Alan Nunn May wai aentenced today to 10 yeara in prison for violating the British official se crets act by disclosing restrict ed information, which hit attor ney said went to Soviet Russia, and concerned atomic energy. May is a British physicist who worked on nuclear re search in Canada during the war in the successful effort of the United States, Britain and Canada to create the atomic bomb. He pleaded guilty. The 34-year-old May, who was arrested last March, was specifically accused of commu nicating "to some person un known certain information cal culated to be, or which might be directly or indirectly, useful to an enemy." Unspecified Enemy The "enemy" was not speci fied, the prosecution declaring merely that it might be "any potential enemy." His arrest, however, followed closelv the launching of a Ca nadian investigation into al leged Soviet espionage activities which Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King said extended through the dominion into the United States and Britain. Defense Counsel Gerald Gard iner, in asking clemency for May, said flatly that the infor mation the defendant was ac cused of disclosing was given to the Russians and that at the time of the offense in Febru ary, 1945 the government had offered all possible technical or economic assistance to Russia.

HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon Higher Educational System We were watching the deli cate, gauzy fingers of the aurora borealis feel their way up the dark, northern sky. From a nearby group of observers was heard an inquiring feminine voice, "What causes it?" With seeming authority a man promptly explained, "The sun is shining on the huge icebergs in the polar regions, and its re flection goes so high into the frosty air that it is visible even from that great distance." Arguments are plentiful against the "iceberg" theory, but the following statement alone is sufficient for its complete ref utation: "Splendid displays are seen on our winter nights when the sun is not shining anywhere on our side of the earth in the region north of us, and when continuous darkness prevails for weeks over the polar ice." Beautiful Glow It is well known in laboratory practice that if a high voltage is appiiea 10 me enas oi a ions i glass luoe irom wnicn uie gas has been exhausted to the proper degree by an airpump, a beauti ful glow is produced. Neon street signs are examples. When the density of the enclosed gas is too great or too small, no visi ble effect is evident; the rare faction must be just right. The northern lights seem closely related to the electrical glow in tubes containing rare fied gases. Airpumps are not needed to reduce density in the free air; only height. At three and one-half miles above the earth, the density is one-half that at the surface; at 20 miles, about one-hundredth, at 300 miles, air is practically non-existent. Trigonometrical measurements of the heights of the aurora made in Canada and Norway in dicate that during intense dis plays the bases of the luminous phenomenon are sometimes as low as 40 miles above the earth and the tops as high as 250 miles. The maximum brightness ap pears around the 60-mile height. Widely-Held Theory The theory most widely-held at present is that electrons (par ticles of negative electricity), shot off from very active sun spots, pass through or are stopped by the upper air where the density is of the right value to cause a glow such as that seen in laboratory tubes. Dr. Stormer, the noted Nor wegian authority, has construct ed elaborate diagrams and mod els to demonstrate that theory and phenomenon agree. He has shown that those electron streams which arrive in the vi cinity of the earth strongly react with the terrestrial magnetic field. They are deflected from a straight-line course and move in a large curve around the earth, thus easily getting into the night side. Spiraling down the earth's magnetic lines of force, they get Clinic To Be Held For Shasta Pupils A clinic will be held in Shas ta school May 2, at 9 a. m., it was announced today, for chil dren starting school there next fall.

Dam At The Dalles Is Recommended ASTORIA, Ore., May 1 (AP Construction of a dain at The Dalles, Ore., has been recom mended by district and division army engineers, the Columbia Basin Fisheries Development league was notified today. The project would include a dam a mile above The Dalles, navigation locks on the Wash ington side of the river, power plant, fishways, and other struc tures. The estimated initial cost, based on 1940 price levels, would be $90,480,000 with in stallation of the first three of 15 power units. into the rarefied upper atmos phere and cause the glow, either directly or by induction effect. Due to increasing sunspots, greater frequency and brilliance of aurora displays may confi dently be expected during the next few years.

NAUAKOWSKI. 1904 Derby. BUTTERFLIES KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (To The Editor) Thanks for the article taking notice of the Cali fornia Tortoise Shell butterflies known as Attlnis californicn to the entomologists. I think that to the natural things about us we should pay more attention so it is always gratifying when some one takes time out to men tion an Interesting event of na ture. Just to keep (ho record straight, however, I feel that I should offer a correction to two sentences of the urtlclu. This la in respect to the statements that Agliiis ciiliforulcu spent the win lei hanging thu brush nnd shrubbery of the hillsides sur rounding Upper Klamath lake in the Chiysalld singe. It so happens that such a statement as uppllvd to butter flics would bo correct in UU out of 100 insiaiicos but this is unit timo wliero such u statement does nut apply. In tlio language of the. entomologist tills purlieu lur butterfly spends tha winter m the imngo form and not In liio chrysiilid form. Now just to save ypu from running to Mr. Webster 1 will translate the above statement into common every day language which melius that the California Tortoise Shell has the distinction of hibernat ing over the winter as an adult insect; which in this case is the butterfly stage. In the fall months when (ho weather becomes real chilly some members of (he California Tortoise Shell tribe seek out a safe sheltered place that will make them a nice home in which to hibernate over tho winter. The loose bark of trees, crevices in rocks nnd other natural shel ters are sought as suilable winter homes. They are often to be found h i d d e n under loose shingles of buildings and other spots provided by man. Tho ex terior of our house Li covered with drop siding and wliere the Window casing covers this siding a series of sheltered nooks is provided which are the Welcome abode of spiders and such. Late Inst fall I watched a Tortoise IlkSAI.D NKWS, Mlamalk rail., OKPNWIW I, '. T" Shell select and retire to one of these natural shelters, Elicit species of Insect has uvolved Us own method of sur viving tho winter season, A great number of butterflies utilize (he chrysalld singe to cover this critical period but chrysnllds lire much more vulnerable to para sites than are adult insects hence wo can surmise that this fuct has played Its part in the cvo lultnn of this insect group. Entomologists do not know If thu urge tu iilbernulfl is granted to all individuals of thu Tortoise Shell group, thu chances are thai only a few aro su gifted. Thu tiling at which we marvel Is not tlio mere stale of hibernation but the fart that each generation of the Tortoise Shells have (he knowledge of what constitutes a proper sheltered homo In which to hibernate. This know ledge Is passed on from genera tion to general Ion only thru the egg stage as each generation of adults pusses out of exlstmice after Ihu eggs are laid and there fore one geiierulion cannot learn by example of observing the Dr. Lamb Off For Portland Dr. E.
