Three Year Study OF Sun ReDeals Mystery
It Is Situated in the Center of Group of l26 Stars All Move Through Space at the Same Speed
 and in Same Direction
By DAVID DIETZ 4ls United Press Special COrTe-
 spNudnnfN

Cleveland Nov 19-(UP)-Our sun is situated in the center of a group of 126 stars all of which are moving through space with the same velocity and in the same di- rection, like flock of wild ducks or other megrating birds. But our sun does not belong to the group. It is like a lone hawk or Heron, winging it's own solitary way through the flock.
 This new understanding of the position of the sun in the galaxy isc the result of a three year study carried on at the Warner & Swasey observatory of Case school of ap- piled science by it's directar, Dr J. J. Nassau, and one of his as- sstants, Louis G. Heyney.
 The study was made possible by the development by pr Nassau of a new mathematical method of checking stellar motions. Without this method, the task which Dr Nassau completed in three years would have taken closer to 300. The method can be applied to other stellar groups and is expected to

UTILITIES MUST
 AID PRESIDENT
His Speech on Tennessee Development Is Warn=
 ing to Power Cos

Warm Springs, Ga., Nov 19-U. P)-President Roosevelt settled back in his little Georgia White House to-day awaiting a reaction to a new creed of the New Deal wide community operation of pow CT utilities. His declaration of policy made in speech at Tupelo, Miss, was defined by close admin istration friends as carrying chal- lenge to private industry rather than any early direct action.
 "It means" one of them said "that the private companies either play ball in providing cheap power or else ." The inference was that the government would see to it that low rates were made avail able. MT Roosevelt's pronounce ment came as a climax to a three day inspection of the Tennessee Valley deveiopment-a tour that convinced him of its future value alone as arate bargaining instru- ment between the people and pri- vate utilities.
 The chief executive in setting forth his views took his cue from the little city of Tupelo, the first in the nation to contract for IVA power, holding it up as an example to other communities. he observed: {:
 T can use you as a text--a text that may be useful to many other parts of the nation, because peo- ple's eyes are upon you and be- cause what you are doing here is going to be copied in every state of the union before we get through.
 "We recognize that there will be a certain amount of-what shall l ay?-rugged opposition to this de- velopment but I think we recog- nize also that the opposition is fad ing as the weeks and months go by. fading in the light Of practical ex- perience."
 From Tupelo the president moved into Alabama, carrying his fight for the IVA into Birming- ham. hub of the industrial south.

JAPAN TO REJECT
 BRITISH PLANS

London, Nov 19. (UP)-Ambas- sador Tsuneo Matsudaira was ex- pected late to-day to advise Sir John Simon, foreign minister, for mally that Japan rejects British compromise proposal for naval limitation and to demand absolute equality with the United States and Great Britain.
 British sources said they were still hopeful that negotiations could be continued usefully, as a basis for the big naval conference set for next year.
 There has been increasing de- mand here for a British understanding, however, in the event that negotiations with Japan fail: or perhaps for a four-power treaty embracing France and Italy.

MRS. IDA CRAIG GUEST AT
THREE SCORE-TEN RECEPTION

The name of Mrs. Ida Craig was
inadvertently omitted from the list OF
those present at the Three-scor ana
Ten reception, given by the White
Bluffs Grange. Mrs. Craig is real
pioneer. having come to the valley IN
1892. Her stories of the big Hood OF
1894. and of wagon trips to Yakima Tor
supplies, accompanied only by Two
young daughters, make modern plon-
eering seem the essence OF comfortable
living.
A unique feature of the reception
was the fact that it was held on the
same day on which F. M. Hill, one OF
the honor guests, celebrated his sew
enty- ninth birthday.
