Largest Group Ever to As semble to Watch
 Eclipse of Sun

MANILA, May 6-The greatest groups of astronomers ever to come to the Philippines are now in the Central Islands of the archipelago to observe the total eclipse of the sun on May 9.
 Two groups of scientists from the United States, one from Germany and one from the Manila Observa- tory have established stations from which to view the eclipse.
 Other groups brought tons of instruments on a 50-50 chance that the sky would be clear.
 The scientists hope to study the suns corona, that little known body surrounding the sun.
