Total Solar Eclipse Due This Month NEW YORK (UPI)-On July 20 the solar system will put on its greatest show a total solar eclipse that will be visible in varying degrees from every ptrt of North America. Tens of millions of Americans and scientific groups from a half dozen countries will observe the phenomenon which will come near to matching the celebrated North American eclipse of 1930. There will not be another eclipse of Hie sun visible in any part of the United States until 1970. And not until 2017 will a solar eclipse be visible to so many Americans as this month. Those living in a 60-miIowide path stretching from Anchorage, Alaska, across Canada's Yukon. Northwest Territories, Saskatche wan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Que bec to Bar Harbor, Me., will see the dark mass of the moon com pletely blot out the sun. In the blackout path, the only light left will be a sickly yellow corona around the moon, equal In intensity to a half-moon's glow. Stars will twinkle in the momen tary, unnatural night, birds will cease to twitter, and the air will cool and fill with eerie rippling shadows. Those living outside the belt of totality will see a partial eclipse, ranging from 92 per cent of total in Boston to 20 per cent in Los Angeles. But record crowds are evperted to turn out from coast to coast to see the heavenly spec tacle, which fortunately falls on PAGE 10-A HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon Wednesday, July 10, 1963 ! 1 lrV?

UPI Telephoto 10,000 Die Daily Of Starvation Jet Planes, Rickshaws Make India Paradox NEW DELHI lUPIi-An Indianj pilot with a name like Mukherjeei put his skilled hands on the con trols of a giant jetliner one day this week and brought a plane load of tourists into Calcutta air-, port with deft precision. At the same moment, another Indian with a name like Mukher- jee, threw his numbed weight against the wood and leather harness of a crude rickshaw. He dragged his tourist into the streets of Calcutta with the blank eyes and sweating flanks of an overworked cart horse. The neatly turned-out pilot and half-naked, barefoot coolie are worlds away from each other in education, politics and the amount of food they put into their stom achs. But by the standards of the paradoxical "nation" of India, they have many things in common. They are both dark and slim and obviously different from their burly, fair-skinned, fellow citizens in northwestern India. They both speak a sophisticated language called Bengali. They look down on India's 13 other "official" languages as crude and barbarous dialects. They are both Hindus, yet they live in a country which contains more Catholics than Ireland and more Moslems than Egypt. The two Mukherjees are worlds away from each other. But theyl are also worlds away from most of the 440 million other Indians who make this the most compli cated, confusing nation on earth. India can only be described in extremes and paradoxes like the Mukherjees. Compare it for instance with another sub-continent Western Europe. India is bigger and more populous. It includes more races. religions, languages, peoples and social classes. Yet India, somehow, is a single nation. The nation sprawls over 1,221,- a summer Saturday between late morning on the West Coast and late afternoon on the East Coast. Maine and Quebec, the most densely populated area in the blackout path, are girding them-i selves for a tremendous influx of visitors bent on seeing (lie total eclipse. The Maine Department of Economic Development esti mates that more than 200.000 per sons from other parts of Maine and out-of-state will descend on central Maine for the two hour performance, climaxed by two minutes of darkness between 5:42 pa, EDT and 5:44 p.nu The American Museum-Hayden Planetarium warns eclipse watch ers to protect their eyes against! the harmful solar infra-red rays by looking through two thick nesses of black and white photo graphic film which has been ex posed to the maximum density Dark glasses or smoked glass are inadequate for peering directly at the sun and cannot prevent pos sible permanent damage. Japan to be First Tokyo Observatory scientists, will make the initial observations of the eclipse, which will first be noticeable at sunrise in Japan and the University of Kyoto will send a scientific team to Alaska. Also in Alaska will be delegates to bho American Astronomical So ciety's convention near Fairbanks especially timed and located to coincide with the celestial show. Other scientific groups taking ground observations with instru ment and camera will be the JIayden Planetarium expedition in Quebec, (lie Harvard Observa tory in Maine, Dutch and Ger man expeditions near Great Slave Lake in tlie Northwest Territor ies, the University of Illinois in Manitoba and Ontario, and the National Research Council of Can ada. Astronomers from the Do minion Observatory, Ottawa, will take observations from aircraft. The scientists will be checking and rcchecking various aspects of eclipses, including fluctuations of brightness, polariiation of light in the outer corona, variances of geomagnetic and earth currents, radio characteristics of tiro iono sphere, and deflection of star light by the gravitational pull of the sun. The latter, verified dur ing previous eclipses, is a con firmation of Einstein's theory of relativity. Eventually, scientists expect to observe eclipses from space ve t)f will ha nrnnellcd be- vond the earth's contorting atmos- pliere for moro iwifect measure ments and photograplis. WASHINGTON (UPI) Hem: More than half the world's three billion population goes to bed hungry every night. Daily, 10,000 persons die of starvation or mal nutrition. Item: Billions of bushels of wheat, barley, rye, coin and other food grains are stored un used in graneries of the United States, Question: Why docs not the United States simply give its sur pluses outright to the hungry of the world? Answer: This would be nearly impossible to achieve. And even if it could be done, it would pro vide only short-term relief. President Kennedy stated this fact clearly in an address to the recent World Food Congress here. He said: All our stored ahundance, even if it could be distributed evenly to all the undernourished of the world, would provide a bal anced diet for less than one month. And many nations lack the neces sary storage, transportation and distribution facilities. Even if the United States de cided today to give away all its stored food, nearly insurmounta ble difficulties stand in the way. Among them: Distribution: Just getting the food to those who need it would be a highly difficult task. As Ken nedy pointed out, many nations do not have the storage and transportation facilities. Even in Washington, capital of the United States and one of tlie most so phisticated cities in tlie world, welfare officials have run into trouble trying to get relief goods to the poor. Eating Habits: Many people of tlie world are inhibited by tra ditional eating habits from using CHANGES COLORS Feathers of the ptarmigan change their colon with the sea son.

International Trade: If the United States were to unload its surpluses, it would be greeted by ci les ot aituish from other grain exporters of the world and with charges of "dumping." It would most likely upset the world trade oattern. National Pride: Few nations would be likely to accept an out right gift from the United States even it it meant helping its needy. National pride is a factor. particularly in developing nations. The basic problem is that world food production has not kept up with the world population explosion. Delegates to the congress stud ied many suggestions on how world food production could be increased. These included educa tion of farmers, greater techno logical development and greater use of products from the sea. The last was held of great importance as a source of protein. Although the United States can not give its food away, it is doing a tremendous job in feeding the world hungry through Hs "food for peace" program. It has been estimated that U.S. food shipments to other nations have totaled more than three 10,000-ton shiploads per day for eight and a half years.

An imag inary superman with a 2,000-mile vision could see all of India if he climbed to the top of this five-mile high peak. Looking toward the Indian plains, he would see range on range of snowcapped mountains directly below him. Slant-eyed, Tibetan-speaking, Buddhist monks turn prayer wheels and sip yak butter tea on the mountain-sides. Grey-grcen tents of the Indiaii army are pitched around the monks' monasteries to guard against further Red Chinese incursions. Similar tents are pitched furth er south in the beautiful Kashmir valley, which is disputed between India and Pakistan. The fair-skinned Kashmiris many of whom have blond hair and blue eyes, live in a world of their own, where clear trout streams rush down from pine clad mountains and palatial house boats drift lazily on the gleaming Dal Lake.

It lies near the headwaters of the great Indus and Ganges river valleys, which make up the rich and ancient plains of Hindustan. :FREE-i!e.iciou8 KRAUT RECIPES from Dept. K P.O.
