HOOVER CASTS 0VERBOARD "NOBLE EXPERIMENT
Moons Shado,u to S,oeep Ne,v England
 At 2,OOO-MiIe Speed During Eclipse
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor

By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor.j
 NEW YORK, Aug. 12 The meaning of future stratosphere travel speeds of 2,000 miles an hour-something actually moving that fast-can be seen in northeast New England August 31.
 This speeding object will be the black, oncoming edge of the moons shadow during the total eclipse of the sun which crosses upper Ver- mont, New Hamshire, Maine and corner of Massachusettes about 3:30 p. m. eastern standard time
 Watchers on mountains and in airplanes should have good view of the flying edge travelling over broad miles spread out below them. The shadows speed is announced by astronomers as 2,967 feet a second, slightly more than half a mile. It's shape will be that of a gigantic football, advancing side on, an eclipse 100 miles long and about 60 across.
 Starts Near Pole
 It starts near the north pole, comes down across Canada, and passes out to sea to make a 5000 mile journey in three hours. Its last sight of land for the United States is Chatham, Mass, on Cape Cod.
 Spectators with a little imagina- tion can sense the earths rotation while they look at this shadow. Those in New England will be travelling eastward with the earth's rotation at around TOO miles an hour.
 If they face east, the shadow over takes them from behind like an ex- press train at a diamond shaped crossing. It comes down from the northwest and rushes ahead to branch off to the southeast. Their own travel with earth's rotation be- ing partly in the same direction cuts down the shadows speed
 This shadow is a black cone ex- tending behind the moon an aver- age of 231 $50 miles. When there is an eclipse the earth cuts through the cone The cut, astronomers calculate, may be made anywhere from just grazing to 18,000 miles inside the tip.
 The earth can also miss the tip entirely, leaving it suspended aloft like the lower end of tornado cloud funnel Under such circumstances the tip of the shadow may pass anywhere from few miles to 20,- 900 miles overhead. The result then is an "annular" eclipse. The sun shows all around the edge of the moon.

O'Malley Adds Three Days Fishing Throughout
 Southeast Alaska

In furtherance of his policy of aiding Alaska fishermen and can nery workers, hard hit by thi' years curtailment of the pink salmon pack and late runs of fish United States Commissioner of Fish cries Henry OMalley has extended the commercial fishing season in four additional Southeast Alaska districts and on Kodiak Island, he announced today.
 Reports received from Agent Den- his Vim who is studying the situa- tion in Frederick Sound and Lower Chatham Strait, and from both Ketchikan and the west coast of Prince of Wales Island showed an abundance of fish, making the ex- tension possible.
 Three days have been granted to the Southeast Alaska districts and four days on Kodiak, except Olga Bay and Karluk. The run of pink salmon in that region is reported to be unusually heavy.
 Extensions were ordered in South east Alaska as follows. Western district, from the southern ex- tremity of Point Couverdeen, to 6 p. m. August IT, Eastern district to 6 D. m. August IT; North Prince of Wales Island district, to 6 p m. August 26; and Southern dis trict, to p. m. August 19.
 The four-day extension on Kod- iak Island carries the season to 6 p. m. August IS.
 The Commissioner today tele- graphed Washington headquarters direa.ing the issuance of regula- tions embodying the several ex- tensions. They were authorized, he said, to give seiners and cannery workers an opportunity to aug ment their rather slim earnings up 10 the present. A three-day extension was given western Icy Strait last week for the same reason, and the trolling season originally slated to have expired on August 25. has been extended to the end of the year.

 Eastern Icy Strait closed last night, shutting off source of most of the supply from the Port AL thorp plant of the Alaska Pacific Fisheries Corporation, but it will continue to operate for several day.; on fish from the western district.
 The Southeast Alaska pink run was reported as heavier this week in all districts with larger takes by seiners and traps. Traps on both the Admiralty and Chichagof Islands shores of Chatham were getting fish in fairly good volume yesterday and today.
