An interesting feature of this dis
play, says DR.. McNally, is that the
visible string of planets will contain
all those known to man previous to
1871, when Uranus was discovered
by means of the perturbations 1t
caused in the orbits of the known
planets Shortly afterward, dis
tant Neptune, seldom actually seen,
was discovered almost simultane-
ously by an English and French
astronomer by calculations of the
perturbations it caused in the orbit
of Uranus.
This was the complete list of the
planets until a decade ago, when
tiny Pluto. farthest from the sun
and not much larger than the earth,
was discovered. Many astronomers
believe that there may be one or
two more planets still more distant.
Actually. Uranus itself will be in
the string Wednesday, evening, but
it will be visible only with a small
telescope. Such telescope also will
show four of the moons of Jupiter,
the brightest of them originally dis
covered by Calico with the first
telescope observations.
Calculation Very Difficult.
Any possible planetary configura-
ton, Mr.. McNally points out, has
recurred before and will recur again,
but calculation of the time of re-
currence of any particular pattern
becomes very complicated. All the
planets move at different speeds and
In different orbits around the sun.
The time taken for any planet to
return to position where it, the
earth and the sun are in a straight
line is known as the synodic period.
That for Mercury is 1l6 days
Every 116 days, that is to say, Mer-
curry, earth and sun are in a straight
line. The period for Venus is 256
days. That for Mars is $50 days
All three will be in a straight line
in the number of days which is the
least common multiple of the three
synodic periods. When the other
planets are added it turns out that
this is the first time the spectacle
has been witnessed in the course of
recorded human history.
The caveman Of Ice Age Europe
may have wondered at similar
sight in the western sky.

stantial vote for Garner in some Of
the preferential primaries. Such a
vote would give the rd-termers
pause and the anti-third-ter
more courage.
Party Boosts Idea.
Even in the publicity now sent
out by the Democratic National
Committee the third-term idea is
now being boosted. Charles Michel
son, director of publicity for the
party, after saying that he is entirely
ignorant as to whether the President
wants to run or will consent to run,
points out in his column that the
anti-third-term agitation depends
on which party the possible third
termer belongs to-" The implication
being that the Republicans would
support third term for a Republi-
can President, and that there is no
reason why Democrats should not
do as much for q President of their
own.
AS the pre-convention campaign
continues, it looks as though Mr..
Dewey must make a good showing

Fireman Admits He

By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 24.-Un-
dersherin Clyde Knowles said to-
night John Ord, a, tall. gaunt Ia
coma fireman, had confessed the
wedding night a2aying of the man
who successfully had courted his
common-law wife.
He denied, however, the officer
added, any connection with the fire
that turned the couples honeymoon

the bride and a third man had
been wounded.
The body of Hale r. Nosler, S.
former president Of the Washington

Mr.. Knowles said both Mrs. Nos

them. He gave this summarized
version Of their statements:
MRS. Nosler and Pomeroy said
that last night Ord came to the

that many States would send dele
cations pledged or instructed for
candidates other than Mr.. Roose-
welt to the national convention.
Outlook Not Good.
The outlook is not good unless the
President should definitely withdraw.
Indeed, it looks more and more as
though delegation after delegation,
pledged to Mr.. Roosevelt, will be
elected or appointed during the COM
ing three or four months.
The entry of the Presidents name
in the Wisconsin and Illinois presi-
Dental preferential primaries; the
declaration by the Ohio Democratic
organization leaders that, whether
or not his name was entered IN the
Buckeye States primary, the dele
cation would be pledged to him, have
taken all the wind out of the sails
of other contestants-except the
Vice President.
Take the case of Mr.. McNutt. His
name has not been entered in a sin
gle State primary and probably will
not be offered. Until recently it was
the expectation Of the McNutt man.
ayers to be in the thick of the fight,
to enter their candidate in nearly all
of the presidential preferential pri-
maries. It was thought he would be
the White House candidate and that
he would 60 into the primaries and
gather up the delegates-ready, Of
course, to deliver them to the Presi-
dent If he should seek another NOM
ination.
Mr.. McNutt, on his return from
the Philippines last summer, an
nounced he would not be a candi-
date If. the President should run
again-and was made Federal Sc
curity administrator.
The McNutt Plan.
The idea of the McNutt managers
was that when the President took
himself finally out of the picture Mr.
McNutt would have the support OF
all these delegates he had picked up
in the pre-convention campaign. 1t
looked as simple as that-until the
President, by his silence, acquiesced
in the third-term drive.
Then the picture changed. It was
not for Mr.. McNutt to enter primary
contests against the man he had
said he would support If he wanted
q third term-not If Mr.. McNutt was
to continue to hope for the nomina-
ton himself.
Practically the same thing hap
pened to the. candidates. of Post
master General Farley and Senator
Wheeler. So now 1t looks as though
due to the silence of Mr.. Roosevelt
the convention win be made up oi

for Mr.. Garner-although they may
be limited largely to the Texas dele
cation.

Congressional Veto

BY the Associated Press.

Congress be given the same veto
power over trade agreements that
it has over presidential orders re-
organizing Government agencies.
The reorganization orders 60 into
effect automatically after a 60-day
period unless either house disap-
proves.
Senator Brown is counted as q
doubtful" member of the Senate
Finance Committee, which will start
hearings tomorrow on legislation to
extend the Reciprocal Trade Act for
three years from next June IL, the
present expiration date. The House
approved the measure, 216 to 1853,
Friday night.
Hope for Early Vote.
Democratic leaders hoped for an
early Senate vote. Chairman Har-
rison of the Senate committee said
the group might report the legisla-
ton by the end of this week. Ma
jority Leader Barkley expressed the
opinion that Senate debate might
be completed in a week.
Calling his proposal "left-handed
approval" Senator Brown said it
might be q possible compromise II
there were a close vote on a pro-
posal to give the Senate power to
ratify or reject trade agreements.
Administration leaders asserted
however, that the ratification pro-
posal. advanced by several Senators
would be defeated.
While foes OF the legislation pre-
dicted q close vote in the Senate
Finance Committee, Senator Har-
rison said there was no doubt that
the measure would be approved.
His view was supported by Sena-
tor George, Democrat, Of Georgia,
another finance committeeman.
In the general congressional pic
ture, leaders called for fast pace

In addition to the Finance Com
mittee hearings on the trade pro-
gram. there will be a hearing by

Planet Lineup Won't Recur
For ID 800 Years
Astronomical Spectacle to Reach C|imox
Wednesday When Mercury Is at Brightest

The spectacle of five planets sus-
pended in the western sky like q
crooked string of lanterns represents
configuration of the suns family
which man will not see again for
14,300 years, says Rev. DR.. Paul A
McNally, S. j., director Of the
Georgetown University observatory
For the past week thousands OF
Washingtonians have wondered over
the brilliant spectacle of Jupiter and
Venus, the latter almost directly
above the other and fairly close to
the horizon. Venus has been ex-
ceptionally bright against the back
ground of the sky lit by the full,
moon.
The spectacle will reach its climax
Wednesday evening, when the tiny
planet Mercury will be most clearly
visible in the five-planet string, if
the observer looks in the right place.
This planet, already visible after
sunset, is far from easy to see and
identify.
Actually, DR.. McNally says, few
persons, aside from professional and
amateur astronomers, ever have
seen Mercury.
Usually in Suns Glow.
It is the smallest of the planets.
1t is very close to the sun and
usually is lost in the twilight glow
after sunset or in the dawn light
before sunrise. Each year. how
ever, there are several "elongations"
when Mercury is farther from the
sun than usual, so that it is well
above the horizon at sunset or sun
rise.
Wednesday evening it will be at
its greatest elongation-18 degrees
from the sun and 16 degrees above
the horizon at sunset. This distance
can be visualized, DR.. McNally points
out, by considering that the diam
eter Of the moon is about half a
degree. So Mercury will be approx
mately 30 times the moons diameter
above the horizon at the instant of
sunset. At that time the glow will
be widely diffused over the western
sky.
This means that in order to see
Mercury with the naked eye one
must watch very closely for it. It
can be seen, but not very easily
