Is the whole universe young,
small and rapidly enlarging? Or

Man never posed a more auda-
cious task than finding an answer
to this colossal cosmic question.
Nor did he ever before attempt
the building of a Sky-scanning instru-
ment as penetrating as the projected
200-inch reflector.
Inevitably there were great diff.
culties in the making of the gigantic
telescope. And, in the beginning,
it was jinXed by technical accidents,
The material of the mirror had
to resist temperature changes. Quartz
would have been ideal, but expensive.
So, a new type of glass was devel-
oped especially for the mirror.

- ESPITE TumorS OF troubles de
laying its completion, the 200
- inch mirror telescope Of Mt
Palomar will be scanning the sky
within one year, now that its con-
struCtion is resumed.
Then, with this greatest "eye" of
astronomy will begin the most dar.
ing effort TO solve the mystery of
the universe.
Such is the announcement of DR..
Walter S. Adams, director of both
the Mt Palomar and the Mt. Wilson
obScrVatorieS, in an exclusive reply
10 a query from The American
Weekly. DR. Adams retires jap. l, 1916.
The renowned astronomer states:
THE completion of the figuring
of the 200inCh mirror was stopped
by the pressure of war work, and
not due to any difficulty.
1T is estimated that both the
optical (mirror) and the mechanical
tube, etc. work on the telescope
can be completed in one year after
the resumption of construction
Thus are set at rest the worries
of the Doubling Thomases and the
prophets of bad luck, who have been
asking when if ever - will the
$6,00000 telescope project actually
he finished ?" "

Asked if the Japanese weren't a

his appearance on a radio program.
His fiancee, Miss Marge Vatten-

Bong to be "just like any girl would
want it." and that is how it is go
bing to be.
The wedding tentatively has been
set for early in February.
Miss Vattendahl will be grad

Bong in November, 1943, while he
was home on furlough and received
her ring during a return he made
to the United States last summer.
Asked if the majors early arrival

moved up, she replied: We'll have

 Three Plaintiffs
 Institute Action

A collison between a factory loco- motive and 8 construction com pany's car at the railroad crossing on Washington Street Dec. 2, 1944 is the basis of $20,750 civil action instituted in Superior Court today against the American Brass Con- pany.
 Plaintiffs are Domenic Morrone and Anthony Dapont, both of this city, who seek recovery for personal injuries, and the A. Dupont Con- struction Company, Inc, which seeks recovery for damages to the vehicle.
 The complaint, which was drawn up by Attorney Edward Mascolo and will be returnable to court Jan. l, states the car was operated by Da- pont, and the other plaintiff was a passenger in the front seat.
 No warning was given of the ap- proach of the locomotive, the plain tiffs claim, alleging further that it was operated at excessive speed. No watchmen were present at the cross ing and no safety device was oper- ated at the crossing as required by Connecticut law, the complaint states.
 Dapont lists head, face, back, and hernia injuries, while the other plaintiff claims he sustained injuries to his right shoulders and arm, face, head, body, and limbs.
 The two men seek $10000 damages each, while the company asks for $75O.

the Yale & ToWne Manufacturing Company plant if the strike-bound concern refuses to bargain "in good faith" with the union.
 In a telegram sent to the Cow ernor by Joseph Ficarro, chairman of the strike committee. and presi- dent of LAM Lodge 539, the union declared:
 "The International Association of Machinists has co-operated with you in conduction of the strike at the Yale & Towns plant. You ad- vised us that our cooperation would result in fair collective bargaining between this union and the com pany. After deliberate delays on the part of the company, negotia- tionS commenced on Dec. 19. The company's counter proposals which they state they will not recede from removes all union security, re- moves all benefits gained by the union in previous contracts and constitutes wage cut. The com pany deliberately seeks to continue this strike which has already cost our membership more than mill lion dollars in wages and which will cost the company nothing because it will seek to use the cost of the strike as an item of expense in its tax computation.
 We protest this action by the company and we request that you declare state of emergency and seize and operate the Yale & Towne plant. We shall, in that event. lend you our full aid and co-opera- tion".
 The telegram was sent to the gov- ernor following collapse of negotia- tions intended to arrive at a basis of settlement of the seven-weeks- old strike, involving more than B. 900 workers.
 However, both factions were vide ly at odds over the closed shop issue and whether settlement should be based on the old contract or a new one.
