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. The developed
plata showed a considerable trail of

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.

Travel Setup
Has your mall been arriving a day
later than usual? Do you find that
parcel post and express service Is not
as good as It used to be? 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.
Charles Stark, chamber of com
merce manager, said yesterday that
he Is trying to determine what has
been the Immediate effect on the
Klamath area of cancellation of
train and plane schedules by South
ern Pacific railroad ana uniiea Air
lines at the first of the month.
"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.

1849 pictures such an enormous ball

populous section of New York City.

perature of 1000 degrees F. when

cause of Ita own intense heat. It Is
visible otherwise only In tele
scopes, of course due to sunlight
reflecting from It. Another close so
lar approach Is scheduled for It next
May.
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. Hidalgo, which ;
sometimes gets out as tar as 8a- I

They atlll hadn't heard how Alas

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

showed disillusionment and dis
couragement. Morrison, a construction worker.
said: "I've got my whole summer's

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

In the course of his investigation
the officer also inspected Knotta' op

the license waa void, and Issued by

Shanholtzer posted 55 bail for ap
