Close to Sun Big Palomar Camera Finds Year's First New Asteroid By J. Ht'Cill FRl'KTT Our discussion September 11 of last century's hypotlietlral planet Vulcan brought an Incidental men tion of tha newly-discovered object, llrtD MA. which has been found to awing Inside the orbit of Mercury and approach nearer to the sun than any other known planetary body. Early notices regarding this little asteroid showed considerable disa greement In the statement of lead ing astronomers, both In the press and in scientific publications, but with mors observations tha differ ences seemed to adjust themselves considerably. Filmed The designation IMvMA means that the object waa the first aster- old discovered during the second half of June-1IHD. On June 34, Dr. Waller Baada was photographing a section of the sky near Die brilliant southern star Antares with the 48- Inch Schmidt camera on Palomar Mountain, Tha exposure was con tinued for one hour.

Strike Scene Roundup of Strike Situation; National Emergency Exist? By BAM DAWSON' NKW YORK. Oct. 29 iAV-8lefl workers have been Idle for four weeka today. Coal miners out of the pita for 40 days. What haa It cost the nation so far In output. In wages. In earnings? Some say It's already a national emergency, others say not yet. How long will the bad effects be felt after the strikes end? How much Justification Is there for the view, apparently held by some who are bidding up stocks In Wall street, that out of the strikes will come a business boom around the first of the year, when the nation 'lea to catch up again? ' Evident In the steel mill towns. In the coal ttateg, the effects are plain for anyone to see in the stores. In the banks, at the unemployment Insur ance and relief agencies. Elsewhere. I n widening circles, men are being laid off, or their working hours cut. because steel or coal Is short at their mill or fac tory. And farther afield. In rural' sec tors or those only loosely tied to coal and steel, the effects have yet to show up. Nation-wide But looking at It, nation-wide here la what we find: Retail store sales down 14 per cent from last year and falling the strike hilling hard In steel centers, with anlea off 24 per cent In Ohio, Bank clearings off more than ( per cent from last year off 33 per cent in niisnumn Railroad freight loadings off 36.5 per cent from last year, and the lowest since May, 1848. Railroad earnings sharply lower. Electric power output below the similar period In 1B48 for the first time this year. Money Money In circulation down tM million tills week, as payrolls shrink. Some too coal-burning locomo tives stalled by government order, to save coal. Perhaps six million tons of steel production lost: coal production cut from I million tons a week before the strike to two million this week. Price cuts and reduced sales of lead, sine, tin and antimony, all linked closely with steel, Personal But for the ordinary eltlien, the matter of lossea Is pretty personal. It depends on whether he has Job or not, whether his take-home pay has been cut or Is unaffected, whether his store's aalea are deci mated or as yet untouched.

Hsve you experienced dlflculty In obtaining convenient transportation by plane or train from Klamath Falls since October 1. If you have been a victim of any of these situations, then the cham ber of commerce wants to know all about it.

"We are trying to see Just how bad the situation Is. If It la found serious enough to warrant action, tha chamber will present lu case to the railroad and airline officials," Stark said. the earth, which had a motion In re lation to the stars, had been caught. Dr. Baade did not know which way the object waa moving It could have been either way along the line but calculating how far It would move In two days, he photographed the more likely or the two positions on June 35 and again caught a trail. Two days later another picture was taken; nd again July 13 and 11. Path Tha elaborate calculations mad from these photographic observa tions determined the path around the sun of this new planetoid. This orbit haa been likened to a line drawn on a football around the long way. The sun la Inside this oval figure but relatively near on end. At this end position the little planet was only about 20,000,000 miles from the sun on April 32, 1848. After Its awing around the sun. It started off Into more remote re gions of space, and on June 31 passed relatively near the earth missed us by a mere 1.000,000 miles. It Is now nearly as far from the sun as It ever gets and In the region well beyond the orbit of Mara, tha planet next In order past the earth from the sun. It seems that this little world must be about Ot mil In diameter.

Asteroids Trail Most of the asteroids revolve In the space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The first ever to be discovered was spotted January 1, 1801. tha first day of the 18th century. Up to January 1, 1849, the official number had reached 15S4. Five, all found since 1830, come in side the earth's orbit. Four of these (Apollo, Adonis, Hermes and 1849 MAi at time get nearer the sun than Venus, but only the last named loops Inside the path of Mercury. Dr. Baade hold the unique honor of having discovered the two aster oids, both the nearest and most dis tant from the sun.

Class Ms They atlll hadn't heard how Alas ka mining officials were advising Inexperienced men against the gam ble; how one called any nuggets In tha area "a freak occurence:" how a geologist found one of the first of four "nuggets" to be brass In stead of gold. But they were aroused by ugly rumors that nuggets might have been "planted" or "salted" In the area by some one who might have expected to gain by a gold seekers' rush, even though one veteran prospector commented in disbelief: "How can you aalt a whole river bank?" As the gold seekers fed the fires of suspicion by talk and rumor, it waa the newcomers who first showed disillusionment and dis couragement. Morrison, a construction worker. said: "I've got my whole summer's savlncs tied UD here, and If It's a phoney I'm going to know who started It." Cartler was lured all the way from Seattle by the first gold re porta. He had spent the summer there at work as a stevedore, and saved 5450 to enroll neit spring at Northwestern university. He said he had sunk his entire savings on equipment, "grub- and plane fare. Like Dope Tills gold fever Is like some kind of dope." he commented.
