STARS
 IN SPECTACULAR
 DISPLAY !N SKIES
CBY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Most of the United States was treated to spectacular display Of shooting stars last night as me- teors shed by the comet Giacobini- zinner burned across the skies in what some scientists said was the most brilliant exhibition seen in America this century.
 But dense clouds marred or com pletely obliterated the view for many watchers of the skies in some sections of the country.
 Scientists used radar and for the first recorded time reported they saw" a display of meteors beyond fog and clouds. Observers from the National Bureau of Standards in Washington said they were sure that 'pips' appearing on the radar screen represented meteors about J0 miles from earth.
 Other scientists boarded airplanes to get above thick clouds for a glimpse of the aerial fireworks and Harvard astronomers in an aerial planetarium" reported seeing me tecrs at the rate of about IT per minute.
 The display resulted as the earth came within l31,000 miles of the spot in space through which the comet passed eight days ago.
 The meteors were shed by the comet and formed part of its tail Those seen on the earth were those caught by the earth's gravitational pull and consumed for the most part as they plunged through the earth'S air shell; the friction be- tween the solid matter and the air causing the brilliant burning.
 Wagner Schlesinger, Director of the Adler Planetarium in Chicago said he counted l49 flashing pro- jectilss in a 10-minute peak per- iod starting at l0:49 pm, EST and said the display was unmatched in this country during the present century.
 The spectacular display was clearly visible in oregon and Washington.

 Over Canadian Line

The Merchants Association Board fl Directors held a meeting last night to discuss further the possi- bilities of shipping merchandise rom the east to Juneau via Prince Rupert, B. c.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10-Al- aska Juneau Gold Mining Compony reports June quarter sales of $84,- 097. Of which the bulk came from mill cleanup. Mining operations at Juneau, stopped during the wars manpower shortage, have not been resumed.
 President c. A. Norris said some revenue came from sale of power community demands having in- creased to the point where the company would probably have to use it's steam standby plant to pro- duce sufficient current for com- munity and company use, if the mine were to resume operations.
 No immediate prospect of mining activity was seen, Norris said, as the relation between operating costs and the price of gold was unfavorable.

DANUBE ISSUE IS TAKEN up AT PEACE MEET

PARIS, Oct. l0.-The United States and Britain joined forces today in calling upon the Soviet Union and the Slav states to re- move a barrier between the East and the West with positive peace conference action on opening the Danube to free commerce.
 U. s. Senator Arthur H. Vanden- burg CR-Mich) led off the plenary sessions deliberations on the Ru- manian peace treaty draft by de- claring a free Danube is indiS- pensable to the economic health and peace of Central Europe and that failure to open EuropeS most important inland waterway would be a tragic, reactionary mistake, ''
 Vandenberg's plea brought a prompt rejoiner from Yugoslav Depty Premier Edward Kardelj, who attacked the majority report of the Balkans commission on two articles in the draft dealing with the Dan ube question and said Yugoslavia deserved a greater Danubian role as "50 percent of it's course is through Yugoslav territory
 Vandenberg was the first speak CT at the conference. He was join ed in his plea for free commerce on the Danube and free trade throughout the Balkan nations by British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin.
 "The task of rehabilitating Eu- rope is made infinitely more diff cult" Bevin said, so long as there is barrier between the West and the East in the Danube area and the commercial interests of the West are met in Rumania by a whole host of discriminatory acts. Bevin said that the Russian pro- posal, which sought ito restrict the use of the Danube exclusively to the countries along it's banks, is not only a retrograde step, but a deliberate discriminatory action against their allies"
 Tt is this policy which gives rise to a good deal of suspicion as to the designs of the Soviet Union in this part of the world" Bevin said.
