This Chamberlin Moulton con-
eeption Is the one which is right in
the front pages of all today's astron-

IL, too, will fall into disfavor after
all astronomers have studied the
new WeiZsacker whirlpool theory.
The near-collision theory sug-
gests how the planets were created
as the passing passing .-fEff4issiHg" star swept
by our Sun. Great masses of the
Suns material were torn off by the
gFaYitational pull and formed the
planets. The only trouble was that
these newly-formed planets would
move not in orbits that were great
circles around the Sun, but In the
form OF great ellipses.

Their distances are far too great for even the
strongest telescopes available to scientists to
notice tiny, poorly illuminated planet, or planets,
around even the nearest star.
Yet astronomers already have such evidence
by indirect methods. 1t has recently been re-
ported as one example, that irregularities in the
motions of certain neighboring stars can be ac-
counted for only If planets rotate around them,
as our planet revolves around our Sum-

eoneentric formations like those in
the drawing l have suggested as an
illustration for this article.
At the boundary layers between
separate whirlpools there is contact
between them. In these touching
regions will arise accumulations of
the heaviest elements. These gath
erings will possess little helium or
hydrogen, but plenty of iron, silicon,
oxygen and the other heavier ele-
ments like those found on our Earth.
The big point about the Weiz-
sacker theory is that planetary
growth is not a freak event, but a
normal happening in the life of
every star. Formerly we used 10
think our planetary system around
the Sun was something special -
probably the only one of its kind in
the whole Milky Way.
AS IL now stands any of the
10000 100000 stars in our own
galaxy probably has its own system

Oh planets, 100. 1HOOSlllS
among all the 40 billions il is
likely that we could find hun
dreds of millions of planets
which have physical condi-
tons almost identical with
those present upon our Earth.
Are there intelligent crea-
lures on these other worlds?
Probably yes, because there
is really no reason why life
should not originate on eeles-
tial bodies which are prac.
tically identical with the earth.
1t used to be argued that
we are the only living beings
in the solar system because
the conditions on the other
nine planets were unfavorable.
But in the new theory we
have an unlimited number OF
-inhabitable worlds and ft-woufd
be strange if many were not
inhabited, as II. G.. Wells says.
However, we cannot yet
prove by direct observation
that other stars have planets.

In Brentwood Terrace Area

The Brentwood Terrace Citizens
Association last night voted to ap-
peal to the National Parks and

name Of Douglass, Fourteenth and
Saratoga streets.
AS basis for their request men,
bers cited cases where taxis and
neighborhood delivery trucks were
unable to find addresses because Of

Students 10 Conduct
Bur|eith Association
Citizens Meetinq

A novel plan by which high school
students of the community would be
allowed to express their ideas on
how the neighborhood should be
improved was announced by Robert'
H. Engle, president of the Burleith
Citizens Association, at a meeting
Of his association last night.
Mr.. Engle reported to the men,
bers meeting in the Gordon Junior
High School that either the April
or the May meeting of the group
will be turned over to students of
Western High School. They will
have their own committee reports
and might, Mr.. Engle said, show the
"oldsters' how community condi-
tions can be remedied.
On a motion by John S. Gorrel
the association went on record as
opposing the transfer of any Fed
eral property to any private indi-
vidual or institution without receiv-
Ing payment for the property.
In raising his objection to such
action Mr.. Gorrell brought to the
attention OF the members the
congressional bill by Representative
DAlesandro, Democrat, of Mary
land-H. r. 4032. This bill. Mr..
Gorrell pointed out, provides for
the free transferring Of Federal
property, namely Folger Park. to
Providence Hospital The hospital
is located at Second and D streets
Sc, opposite the park.
Stating that rats in the COM
munity have increased to such an
extent that action to exterminate
them is needed, Mr.. Engle appoint
ed a committee to investigate. It
was reported that a few years ago
an determination campaign was
waged by residents of The area and
1t proved highly successful. The
committee consists of Harold Roe-
ers, Vincent McDougal and Tneo-
dore Curry.
DR.. Raymond T. Meyer, head of
the agricultural department of

Kornasoren airfield was announced
today by Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
Paratrocps, dropped in force on
two successive days, helped win it on
the 4th Of July. On Sunday, 9Th
Army troops opened the invasion OF
Noemfoor, investing Kamiri airfield
in the first hours. Kornasoren's ad-
vantage over Kamiri is that 1t can
be enlarged into heavy bomber
base from which the Philippines can
be pounded.
At Saipan. which is $500 miles
nearer Admiral Nimitz's China coast
goal than he was at Pearl Harbor
year ago, the admiral conceded the
fighting had been tougher than
expected.
Our troops have the situation
well in hand, and l think our forces
will push on rapidly to the north
EASTERN end of the island" Admiral
Nimitz said, at diminishing rate in
casualties.
Watching for Jap Fleet.
Despite Japan's carrier and other
warship losses June 10 in the Philip
pines Sea, the enemy navy merits
such consideration that we take
into account the estimated capability
Of the Jap feet in every move We
make" Admiral Nimitz cautioned.
That observation heightened in
terest in naval task force thrusts
into the Volcano and Bonin Islands
to within less than 700 miles of
Tokyo.
Il believe we are approaching the
peak of our efficiency in handling
ships and planes said Admiral
Nimitz, whose feet units have put
ashore and guarded the Saipan in
vaders without losing a single war
ship so far.
The admirals attention was di-
rected to the current drive of the
Japanese to set up a railroad-linked
defense zone all along the China
east coast.
IF anything that would make us
60 faster across the Pacific) If that
were possible he said.
