See by the, papers that scientists have, by some hocus-pocus beyond my comprehension, used the atom to figure out how old the world is. Four and a half billion years. Back In the days of peg top pants and skimmers fastened to your collar. But somehow it doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference in my outlook. More worried about tomorrow and the coming summer than I am about what happened in the dim and dusty past. Mouse hunting has been so-so. Best day to date saw fourteen of the little rodents in the bag. shoot ing 'em in the snow yesterday but couldn't be sure of the kill. They are Just as good as pocket goph ers at getting back Into their holes. Fun though. Need a new and more powerful air rifle and a few cans of pellets. ' . Also some more mice. There are nine post offices and sub stations in Oregon beginning with the letter "I" in case you're interested. They are Idleyld Park, Imbler, Imnaha. Independence, lone, Ironside, Irrigon, Island City and Izee. The Ford Times missed Oregon in the current Issue, giving the Pa cific Coast space over to Washing ton and .California. Washington's Mt. Baker got it with a big story and color pictures, and California scored with a yarn about clam ming at Plsmo Beach and a write up of Lazlo's Seafood Restaurant in Eureka. ' HAL BOYLE me," said Truman Oapote, fork ing thoughtfully at a strawberry tart, "is a place where you can get up at 8 o'clook In the morn ing and buy a book or a shirt. "In a real sense of being a city, Mew York is the only city in the world. It is the only one open . 24 hours a day." . . . . Capote,: recently returned from Rome, has somewhat outgrown his child wonder-oi-the-literary-world status of a few years ago. Critics then were divid:! ' over whether he was startlingly preco cious or startlingly precious whether he was a pale young gen ius or merely pale. "I'm' 38 now," he remarked at luncheon in the 31 Club, "and I've written four books and a play., I just finished writing the dialogue for an Italian film. No I'm work ing on my third novel and doing the lyrlos for a musical play, bas ed in Haiti, called 'House of Flow ers.' It's light and strange.'' Capote, who talks with the ar tlstio surety of Oscar Wilde, Is blonde, blue eyed and small enough to walk under the arms of a nigh school Basketball center. He looks less like a sophisticated fawn today and more like a re tired choir boy ' or a rising young literary critic. " ' "I don't think writing for the films has anything to no with writ ing," he observed. "In .writing for the films, the only important thing is the visual sense the eye is everything." , But he did enjoy doing the dia logue for "Indiscretions of an American Wife," produced in Rome for Columbia Pictures by Vittorlo De Slca. . -. "In Italy ' they don't rely so much on 'a sorlpt," he said. "They like to make things up as they go along. The film was shot In the Rome . railroad terminal, and whenever they needed dialogue for the next scene I would go into another room of the station and write it. "The Italian method ot making a film wouldn't work with many Hollywood stars. If they tried 11 with Marilyn Monroe, It would be a disaster. But they have) turned out some 1 great pictures that Capote, whohas had some luck in a life of hard work, has never seen a television 'program. "Do you think I should take up looking at television?." he asked. "I have no opinions against it. I simply don't own' a television set, and nobody I know ever looks at it. "It sounds terribly exciting, .but I dislike all ephemeral things."' He feels sure, however, that vi deo will make for better films on more adult themes. "Television will take over all the taboos that hamper the mov ies now," he predicted. "W hen people can get all the poppycock they Want on television, films will have to become more human and real in order to find an audience." . This mellowing enfant terrible of literature he earned his liv ing' tap dancing on a river boat, painting on glass, and fortune tell ing while learning the writer's trade poked moodily in the ru ins of the strawberry tart, then said: ' "What . would bother me about working in television is that you have only the bubble of a moment. To the creative artist, his work has to be a solid thing not an ephemeral thing, such as an ac tor's performance. "That Is what amazes me about nainters. How can they sell their pictures, and let them go into strange houses where they will never see them again? "I take the books I have writ ten with me wherever I go the foreign translations of them too. Then, wherever I am. I can look at them and say, 'there is something solid.' "I have to have a sense of per manency, because -everything else In my life is so Impermanent. If you are really dedicated to an art, the art becomes your only reality in the world." When I asked Capote, still on the sunny side of 30, what he thought of Ernest Hemingway, who is 56. he replied amiably: "I'm glad the boy's alive. He's a marvelous writer, but ..." Truman Capote didn't finish the sentence. He finished the straw berry tart Instead. FRANK TRIPP They are going to tear down the Fifth Avenuo 1840 house where Mark Twain lived near the close of his life, 1904 to 1908. It is oft New York's Washington Square, a tour story brick, corner of Ninth Street. An apartment will go up. There's a movement to preserve it. If alive, Mark could scrawl off a thousand dollar paragraph about it some .morning while eating breakfast in bed. The old house is a far cry from Bant Clemens' Nevada lodgings of the 50's. when as a "terrible-tern- Dered redhead reporter" he first signed a story "Mark Twain" in Virginia city's territorial Enter prise; still publishing and 95 years old right now., , Lodgings such as the night the Enterprise oelebrated the installa. tton of Nevada's first "steam press" with pistols and countless magnums. The orgy ended in Mark's sleeping in a doorway, and a cold which kept him off the job three days. It could be that Mark was think tag of that sight when, amid his Fifth Avenue comforts, he had Katie Leary phone his friend An drew Carnegie and tell him that he had a cold. Katie Leary was our townswoin an who was housekeeper for the Clemens family tor 40 years. After Sam's death she conducted a room ing house on Mth Btreet where El mlrans were wont to gather and reminisce; among them Bill Mc Laughlin, who told me these stor ies. . i, . ' "One time when Mister Clemens rang tor me, he let me stand un noticed for several minutes, while he wrote," said Katie. "When he looked up he said, 'Oh, you are here, Katie. Close the door; not that it lets the cold in but be cause it lets the cosiness cut.1 " Another time cold really was Mark's problem. He said, "Call Mr. Carnegie, Katie, and tell him I have a cold and to send over some Scotch whiskey." Two days passed and Mark told Katie, "Call that old Scotch so-and-so again and ask h 1 m Where's my whiskey." Katie called and Carnegie said, "Tell him he'll get bis whiskey." Andy made good. That afternoon a truck drove up and unloaded four barrels on the sidewalk in front of 31 Fifth Avenue. It Is on the stationery of that address that is handwritten one ot my prized possessions, Mark Twain's "proud acceptance" of membership in the Eimira Press Club, dated January 30, 1907. It concludes with a cordiality that. he hadn't always bestowed upon me as a reporter: "I accept the hon or with pleasure. Sincerely, S. L. Clemens." The Greenwich Village chamber of Commerce will be glad If it can salvage 31 Fifth Avenue on a new site. Elmlra Is sad that it didn't preserve the house to which young Sam Clemens came to write "The Innocents Abroad"; where he courted and wed Olivia Langdon, where his children played, and from which he was burled, The town awoke in time to save the rustio study in which he wrote many of his books, and moved it to Elnura College campus. Hanni bal, Missouri, made a shrine of his birthplace. Hartford, Connecticut. preserved his long-time home in that city. Oood luck to Greenwich Village, which isn't all underground hot spots. Elmlr's Woodlawn is Sam Clem en's last resting place, beside his beloved Olivia; and near his daugh. ter Clara's famed husband, Osslp Oabrllowltsch, whose dying wish was to repose "at the feet of Mark Twain" , which Is right where he is. As, figuratively, ever will he all lovers of true humor. HOTELS OSBURN HOLLAND CDGENCOkt. MEDFORD Thoroughly Modern Mrs. J. B.

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD Joaquin Miller in writing about his early activities in life Is always indefinite In relating his. exper iences and adventures presenting material without any definite de gree of continuity. He had so many different approaches to the adventures in his life that It is very difficult to get a clear v(sion of them without a careful analysis. In the Oregonlan tor Sunday, Oct. 23, 1928, Beatrice Beebe writes of an interview with Joa quin's youngest 'oroiber George, wnich gives us some background for analysis of Joaquin's, book "Unwritten . History, or, Life Amongst the Modocs." "George Melvln Miller." . writes Beatrice Beebe, said: ''. . . But you see he and another boy, Will Willoughby, started out to school together one - morning, and what happened en route made them de cide to run away from home. The road to the schoolhouse wound about the foot of a crag that towered high over the peaceful val ley. There were many nice large rocks planted at the top of that cliff, seemingly for the special de- ugiib ui amaii uuys, so Ule two lads climbed up and amused them selves by rolling rocks until disas ter put an end to their fun and the fear of dire conseauences into their hearts. One lovely big rock was not en; etui where It was going and collided with a gentle cow, doing considerable damage to her pride as well as to her anatomy. The boys fled In terror, which In creased as we days passed, so, after their school hours were finished they talked things over and decided to make their way as speed ily as possible to the southern part of the state, where they wore sure they could secure work in the mines. . "We waited for Nat to come home and when a few days had passed and neither of the boys had put in an appearance, the two fathers set out on horseback to overtake them; but the boys had too good a start, and so the men returned home alone. Father had great faith in Nat. He was always reliable and old' for his age. We did not see) 'him again for some years. "He found work in the mines, but was not strong enough to do a man's labor, so he helped with cooking and washing of dishes in camp. He kept a djary all this time. I remember one of the en tries ran like this: "You ask me when shall I go home? ... I really cannot tell sir. I really haven't half the chance to go there. As I have to go to hell, sir." "So I imagine there were times when he longed to see the home folks, although he was never real ly alone when with Nature. "I was but a . very little chap when he did return, but I can see him yet in his beaded buckskin cos tume. After the work in the mines had proved to be too heavy tor his strength, he lived among the In dians and had hoped to be able to aid the red man In his dealings with, the whites toward securing of equity. But the violent opposition and prejudice of the white people made this work impossible and so he came home to continue his schooling. . ,' "He attended the old Columbia College, forerunner of the Univer sity of Oregon, located on what was then called College Hill now the College Crest district of Eu gene ' and became an excellent scholar of Latin and Greek. When he graduated in 1659 he was vale dictorian of his class and wrote his valedictory address In poetry. One stanza only of it do I recall: " 'We are parting, school-mates,- parting,' And this evening sun will set On gay hearts with sorrow starting, . On bright eyes with weeping wet.' "Shortly after this occasion the college building was destroyed by fire." .- Beatrice Beebe asked Mr. Miller, "And did he then give his life to writing?" Mr. Miller replied: "Not Immed iately. He followed the footsteps ot my father and became a teacher, going to a little school not far from Vancouver, Washington. While there he became Interested In the Salmon 'River mines. He soon Joined forces with a man by the name of Mossman and ran the Pony Express from the mines to Walla Walla. This he did winter and summer until he had accu mulated 510,000 in gold. Then be came home, spread the money on the floor, and told my parents to take what they needed. He always thought of them first. With the re mainder he set up a printing estab lishment In Eugene and published the Eugene City "Review.", On the side he studied .law. All went well until the government forbade him the use of the malls on a charge that he was a sympathizer with the Southern Confederacy." HUGH PRUETT By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System Answers to questions recently re ceived from several readers will likely be of Interest to others. 1. "Can the distant planet Uran us be seen with the naked eye?" When nearest the earth, Uranus' brightness is rated as 6.74 magni tude. Magnitude 6 is generally given as tho dimmest visible with out optical aid. (The higher the number, the dimmer the light.) So on a clear, moonless night, far away from artificial illumination, an observer with excellent eye sight can barely glimpse this re mote planet. , ' 2. "Is Venus now near inferior conjunction or superior conjunc tion?" , Venus moves on an orbit' that Is nearer the sun than is the earth's orbit. It is lost In the sun's rays for some time when passing almost between us and the sun (Inferior conjunction), and when on the far side of the sun from us (superior conjunction.) Venus was at super ior conjunction last Friday, so will be too near the sun for evening observation for some time. 3. "You recently wrote about digging a hole entirely through the earth, getting all the air out ot it and dropping a man into the hole. How could you get all the air out of it?" ' I don't know. I do know the ex periment would not work it the air were left In the hole for It would be extremely dense at the earth's center. The same correspondent asks If the man would not stop when he reached the earth's center even If I had pumped all the air out of the 8,000-mile hole. No, he would oscillate back and forth from one side of the earth to the other. A freely swinging pendulum does not stop when It reaches tho lowest part of Its swing. And an auto al- lowed to coast down a hill Into a valley will not stop in the valley but Willi run a considerable dis tanco up a hill on the other side. It there were no friction of air, bearings or trRCk, the momentum gained in the down hill run would carry, it up just as far on the other side. . , 4. "What makes the sun and moon shine and why doesn't the sun go through phases (new sun, first quarter, full, sun, etc.) like the moon?.". - The sun shines because its sur lace Is so extremely hot, 50 times hotter than the boiling point of wa tcr.- The moon, earth and planets. are relatively com oodles and shine Just because the sun's light Illumin ates them. Half of the earth, the moon, or any planet (the side turned toward the sun) Is Illuminated. Phases of the moon are due to the tact that we do not see all the lighted half excepting at full moon. The earth would show similar phases to a moon inhabitant. Any half of the sun in view is glowing. So we at ways have "full sun." Poopl DO Rtad SPOT ADS -you art !

Attn tmh James Marlow WASHINGTON WV-How many Communists has the Eisenhower administration found in the govern ment since It took over from the Truman administration one year ago? . - Newspapermen have 'been un able, to get the answer. - iney have tried individually and collectively aL news conferences with President Eisenhower and Atty. Gen. Brownell. , , This much is known; On Oct. 23 the White House an- pounced 1,456 persons had been separated from the government 'for security reasons." It said 883 of them were fired and 593 resigned. Within 214 months the adminis tration increased Its total by al most 50 per cent. in his State of the Union mes sage Jan. 7, Eisenhower said, "under the standards established for the new employe security pro gram, more than 2,200 employes have been separated from the fed eral government." It was because of these stand ards that newsmen asked bow many-of the 2,200 were actually subversive that Is, Communists of fellow travelers and how many were fired for other reasons; When he took over last year. Elsenhower told, the Justice De partment to draw up a program which would replace former Presi dent Truman's. Under Truman's program a dis tinction was made between "loy alty" and "security." An employe could be fired if there was doubt of his loyalty. Or he could be fired if his habits or associations made him a "security risk" in a sensi tive job. in the six years of its existence, 557 persons about whose loyalty there was doubt, were llred or denied Jobs. on April 27, 1953, Eisenhower announced a new program pre pared by Brownell. It eliminated the old distinction between loyalty and security. Now a person can be fired if his employment Is "not clearly consistent with the interest of national security.; - This includes not only commu nists and fellow travelers but drunks, homosexuals, liars, blab bermouths and mental cases. Since no one in the administra tion has provided an answer, it is possible that the 2,200 people let out for security reasons were near ly all Communists. It is equally possible that none or only a hand ful were Communists and the rest drunks and liars. Rep. Francis Walter (D-Pa) says only seven of the 2,200 were discharged on loyalty grounds. But sen. McCarthy on Nov. at one month after the White House satd 1,456 were let out and before the 2.200 f I cure was ciVen. said "the government had "gotten rid of 1,456, all of whom were security risks and practically all of whom were removed because of Commu nist connections and activities or perversion." . Eisenhower himself has said not all of those turned out under the security program could be . de scribed as "subversive" or dis loyal." It would be wrong, he said in assume a man dismissed as a security risk is disloyal. And he said some of those involved prob ably resigned to take other Jobs without knowing they were being investigated. When newsmen sought a break down from Eisenhower, he re ferred them to Brownell. Brownell declined to give It, but referred his questioners to Philip Young, head of the Civil Service Com mission. But Young referred questions back to the White House. Quizzed again, Eisenhower said It might not be feasible ever to provide a breakdown. Bruce Biossat The story of Red China is one of the most muddled chapters in mod ern world history. Debate centers on such Questions as how the Communists managed to conquer mainland China, how close Mao Tse-tung is tied to Rus sia, whether China's aggressive ac tions in Korea and Indo-China are Kremlin-inspired or home-grown what course the Red Chinese wish to pursue in the future. Many American public . figures have long assumed that Red China was bound hand and foot to Mos cow. British and some other West ern diplomats have taken the con trary position that the actual and potential differences between Mao and Malenkov may be considerable. These diplomats now report in creasing evidence of Jealousies de veloping between Peiplng and Mos cow. II these reports are correct, they do not reflect a situation that could be happily received in the Kremlin. For the condition of dependency which Americans assume exists is certainly one the Russians desire. And if differences with Mao have mounted, Moscow must be con cerned about eliminating them, or somehow getting China more firm ly under heel. As part of this strategy toaokf China.a dependency, Russia has t course always posed publicly a the great champion of Mao's re gime demanding a seat in th UN, urging conferences with Re Chinese participation, and the like While 'some in this country mal accept this as proof ot close tlej1 between the. two countires. it mat be only a device designed to prd duce that condition. And the real truth very likely is that the las thing Russia wants is world accepl lance oi Red China as a big powe In its own right. For Red' China in the UN and a the big power conference tabl would be a nation of mounting in dependence. It would have nev outletsr new contacts with othei countries. It would be listening t( the -West directly, instead of a: filtered through a distorting Rus sian screen. ' So when Russia shouts for recop nition of Red China in world coun cils, it probably does not want it What it really wants Is credit fo appearing as China's champion while at the same time it helps t make Communist China as ob noxious as possible to the Westeri world. Understanding this possibilitv dues not mean we snouid tnerei fore recognize Red China and adl mu it to the UN lust to defeai Russian hopes of Chinese de-oeni ueuuy. em we snouia at least real ize that Russia's "big brother" ad may De a phony.

The studies Were based on two slightly different kinds of lead found in meteorites the small bodies which scientists say were formed in the same nuclear up heaval that produced the earth. The lead once was uranium, a substance that loses its radio activity at a known rate in a de caying process. However, there are at least two kinds of Isotopes in natural uranium, differing slightly in weight. The different rate at which the two kinds of isotopes lose their radioactivity is the key to the age determining technique. The heaviest isotope, urar.ium 238, loses half its radioactivity In 4'.'2 billion years, decaying Into lead 206. Another uranium isotope, U-235 the kind used In the A-bomb loses half its radioactivity in 110 million years, and decays into lead 207. .
