Rivera Mural
Defaced By
Young Men
MEXICO CITY. June 1 iPl
Borne young men scratched uie
phrase, "Ood does not exist," out of
Dleso Rivera mural Friday night,
but Uie artist painted It right back
in analn.
The mural, titled "Sunday After
noon in the Alameda," Is on a wall
of Uie main dining room ol Uie gov
ernment new 8,000,000 Prado ho
tel. The young men, numbering 100 to
160, invaded the dining room, over
powered three detecUves and kept
back waiters while one mounted a
chair and, using a table knife,
scratched away all the phrase but
Uie word "Ood."
Rivera, dining a few doors away
at the time, later brought a paint
box Into the hotel dining room and.
climbing on a chair, restored the
obliterated words.
He had taken the phrase from
Mexican rcvoluUonary history. Be
cause ol It, Mexican Archbishop Luis
M. Martinez refused to bless the
hotel as is customary with new
buildings here.
Police said the Invaders were en
gineering students. They hunted Uie
group today.
Rivera confirmed reports today he
has applied for readmission to Uie
Mexican communist party.
The party declined to comment on
Rivera's application but said a bul
letin on Uie matter Is In prepara
tion. It expelled the artist In 1937 be
cause of his close friendship with
and support of Leon Trotsky.

In Defense Of Astronomy
By J. HUGH PRl'KTT

Considerably perturbed was a
young student who recently wrote
to me. He failed utterly, after
several earnest arguments, to con
vince an older acquaintance that
astronomy was a respectable and
authoritative subject. "It Is not."
his opponent maintained. "It is a
false science and Is studied only by
hoodlums." I suggested that astrol
ogy, not astronomy, might have
been the object of censure. It
seemed, however, that both branches
of star study had fallen under the
wrath of Uie denouncer.
While It Is true Uiat professional
astronomers of today are not be
lievers In astrology. It would be most
unfair to label all astrological
adherents as rowdies. And when
every member of the astronomical
fraternity is listed as a hoodlum, it
at least occasions mild amusement.
Astronomy. Uie oldest of all the
sciences, is certainly not without
honor. The ancient peoples, and
especially the shepherds who were
so much under the open night skies,
were far more familiar with the
stars and Uielr apparent move
ments than are our modern city
dwellers. It has been said that the
sun was their clock; and Uie stars,
with their changing seasonal posi-
j Hons, their almanac Many priml
i live seafaring peoples knew how to
use the stars to guide their ships
when far from shore.
Today we are even more depend
ent on the exact science of astron
omy Uian were the ancients. Accu
rate time comes from Uie well
equipped observatories of Uie world.
Land surveys and map making are
based upon careful astronomical
observations. The latitude and lon
gitude of a ship or airplane far out
at sea may be obtained through
alUtude measurements on the heav
enly bodies. Had the entire earth
for Uie past thousands of years
been cloud-covered, as Is Venus,
world civilisation as we know It
would be been greatly retarded.
Astronomy has Its aesthetic, cul
tural and mathematical aspects.
There Is beauty unbounded In the
starry sky. Its study gives an
Insight into the Immensity of the
great celestial spaces and man's
relation to them. Adoration of the
power by whatever name we desig
nate It which controls the vast and
orderly universe can hardly fall to
uplift the soul of man. Those who
have made the greatest advances
in astronomical science have been
mathematical giants, who have
painstakingly studied the laws of
cosmic procedures.
Among the great names connected
wlih the noble science of astronomy
we find the ancient Arlstnrchus.
Hipparchus and Ptolemy; many of
the Arabs of the middle ages; Cop
ernicus, Brahe. Kepler and Galileo
around A D. 1600: a little later. Sir
Isaac Newton, one of the greatest
intellects of all time. Lagrange,
Laplace and the Herschels, and in
our present time. Sliapley, Russell,
Hubble. Struve and others.
If this is a list of hoodlums, who
should regret being denounced as
such?

Why are we so concerned over the future
of our timber industry? The answer lies
in the fact that too often the permanent
future of our timber supply is taken for
granted. Living in the midst of bounteous
forests, it is difficult to realize that some
of our mills are cutting beyond the abil
ity of our forests to replace themselves
by natural growth. Such a mill may be
compared to the individual who lives
beyond his income. Both travel the road
to hardship and privation. Both take
their dependents with them.
Timber Exhaustion, A Problem
Such a condition has already occurred
in other timber areas of our nation. The
forest sections of Michigan have almost
disappeared as a result of "cut-out and
sell-out" methods. The South is only now
recovering after many years of overpro
duction. Even in our own state some
areas are cutting timber much faster than
it can be replaced by natural growth.
Sustained Yield, the Practical Solution
Oregon has the last great stand of timber
in America. Our forests are ample to
sustain a permanent timber industry in
Oregon IF we plan intelligent forest
management. The machinery for such
management is already set up in "sus
tained yield cooperative agreements."
Government-held forest land and adjoin
ing private land are combined into sus
tained yield units. This enables private
operators to cut continuously under a
systematic agreement. It insures the mills
in the area of a permanent supply of logs.
Sustained yield is everybody's busi
ness. It concerns your financial futures
no matter what business you're in. Write
today for free folder "Sustained Yield"
which explains this new development.
