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

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

The scientists will be checking

brightness, polariiation of light in

radio characteristics of tiro iono

light by the gravitational pull of
the sun. The latter, verified dur
ing previous eclipses, is a con

relativity.

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

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

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.
