man Leo E. Allen (R-Ill.) of the
house rules committee.
Discussing Eisenhower's testimony
with a reporter. Short declared:
'That Is propaganda for universal
military training Intended to fright
en and scare the American people.
Investigation Urged
"It Is up to congress to make an
Investigation to find out what has
caused our army to become a "poor
second' to Russia's In the face of
huge appropriations and unheard
of surpluses of materials. Our army
leaders should be called upon to
explain what they have done with
the unprecedented peacetime mili
tary appropriations. There has been
too much double talk."
Short said that If the war de
partment's budget estimates do ot
"exclude" the possibility of war in
JB46, as Elsenhower testified, "then
thev aren't doing anything to get
ready for it."
Despite the f-t thai we passed
a stockpiling bill last year," he
said, "the armv hasn't done a thlnr
to obtain stocsnlle of atraterlc
material that would be needd In
a war. We have aoproorlatert th
necessary money, but aooarentle all
we have got for H Is a lot o' dream
ing. What are thev walttng for?
Another Pearl Harbor?"
Allen called Eisenhower's state
ment "surprising."
The house trimmed war depart
ment requests bv $435,000,000 In vot
ing the armv $5280.000.000 In cash
and $380.000 000 in contractval au
thority for the year beginning to
day. Eisenhower told the senate
committee Saturday the reductions
would "take us well Into the danger
tone."
The senate has yet to act on the
measure.

Ancients Used Imagination
In Seeing Animals In Sky
By J, Ill'till PIU'KTT

How often we wonder It Ihe an
cient peoples did not have moot
vivid Imaginations when they saw In
the heavens the meiuigerlo of ani
mals which the names of Ihe con
stellations Imply. Constantly slip
ping westward along Ihe blue sky,
there are so we are told two
bears, two Hons, two dogs, a ram,
a giraffe, a rabbit, a woll, a flying
horse, heroes, birds, snakes and
fish of various kinds, a crab, scor
pion, and one lone fly.
The ancient sky cartographers de
picted 48 of these wily creatures. In
more recent times, when travel
soutl. of the equator became fairly
common and the southern stars
were studied, other constellations
were added until Uie total at present
is 88.
Latin Word
The term "constellation" comes
from a Latin word which might
freeh be translated "studded with
stars." It refers to a conspicuous
group of stars. "Asterlsm" Is some
times used In the same sense or It
mav indicate a small group within
a constellation, such as the Big

Ti4 names of the constellations
as we know them today are of very
ancient origin, a few dallng back
nearly to 3000 B, C. The Orevk
Heslod around 600 B. 0, mentioned
several. Aratus, the poet of the
Macedonian royalty - In the third
century B, C. used the names of
44, all ot which are on our present
lists.
It Is thought that most of the
groupings originated among tit
Babylonians and oilier peoples of
the great Euphrates valley, and
that the system was later carried
by the Phoenicians to Greece. But
it was from the Greeks that we ob
tained our knowledge of the ancient
constellations and the myths con
nected with them.
No Specification
There Is speculation as to whether
the Interesting mythological stories
were formulated to fit the star
groupings or vice versa. The latter
seems the mflre probable. Whatever
their origins, they are "stories that
endure," and after thousands ot
years still have great literary value
and are read with Interest.
There was often great contusion
as to the exact outlines of each
constellation. One chart might put
a certain star In Ursa major and
another place It In the adjoining
Draco. The boundaries were irregu
lar curved lines. In IM0 the Inter
national Astronomical Union set
definite boumlnrtrs ot regular
spherical lines to be Used on sky
maps everywhere.
A few years ago A, P. Herbert,
a member of the British parliament,
proposed renaming all Ihe conslel
Inllons for modern heroes, authors,
musicians, and even for ali'iiluurs.
But the pronoMil utterly lacked
literary appeal. The slars are very
old In terms ot human history, so
why are not the ancient names ami
lories Ihe most filling tor thrni?
Learning the principal constella
tions by one's self Is easy and most
Interesting for Ihe one possessing
simple star ma and a slight
amount of perserverence.
