Reports from Allegany and Gar
rett counties indicated damage was
not quite as extensive as might be
expected from the temperature read

seemed to have suffered minor dam

ton. But in the lower areas, many
orchards were wiped out. Loss OF
garden crops in the Western
counties was diminished because
planting just had gotten underway

virginia's apple country was hard

orchardists on low ground lost
virtually their entire apple crop.
He said it was too early to estimate
the extent of the damage, but ex-
pected it would be as great as in
l945 when frost damage cost more
than half the apple crop.
In the Shenandoah Valley, even
before the frost only 40 per cent OF
the normal crop was in prospect be-
cause of fewer buds, the laboratory

sideration of the commission order.
Mr.. Harrison said Milo Briiakley,
chairman of the Public Utilities
Committee of the Federation of
Citizens Associations would not join
the CIO in asking the court for a
halt in the fare increase.
Tokens to Be Redeemed.
In anticipation of the increase
Capital Transit officials made plans
to begin redeeming an estimated
10000 outstanding tokens at 8 and
third cents each.
The company also began selling
weekly passes for $3.50 "a hours In
advance of the old fare deadline and
reported business las usual"
Streetcar and bus operators were
not authorized to redeem tokens
However, the company provided
them with a means OF taking care
of forgetful or uniformed persons
who dropped tokens IN the fare
boxes.
The operators were instructed to
take the names and addresses OF
such persons after demanding pay
ment of the new 10-cent fare. The
company said it would pay back the
victims of this circumstance by
check.
A flaw in this arrangement ap-
peared to hinge on the offer to re-
pay by check at the rate of 8 cents
for one token dropped in the box
and II cents for two. Since the
tokens are redeemable at the. COM
pany Offices at sIs cents each, a
person who dropped only one token
in the box would lose a third of a
cent, while the rider could make a
third of cent "profit" by putting
in two tokens.
See S1,25l, ,625 Revenue Increase.
Company officials, while acknoWl-
edging the flaw, said they were con-
fdent the "breakage" would balance
in the end.
The company expects the new
schedule of fares to net an addi-

10.-The sun moves in an almost
perfect circle around the center
of the milky way galaxy.
Evidence for this conclusion was
presented before the Virginia Acad-
amy OF Science meeting here today
by DR.. A. N. Vyssotsky and Emma
r. r. Williams of the Mccormick
Observatory staff.
The sun and its nine planets lie
almost In the edge Of the 30-billion
star milkyway galaxy. which includes
most of the visible heavens. Recent
Investigations have shown, the two
| Virginia astronomers explained, that
| at least 80 per cent of the entire
mass of the galaxy is concentrated

h Traced.
| theoretical conclu-
s. sky said, that the
M .. lie stars and possible
plal.- TENS In this neighbor-
hood should be very similar to that
of the members of the solar system
around the sun. The regularity OF
this motion depends largely on the
sizes of the planet itself. The move
ments of the smallest Mercury, are
very erratic. That of the largest,
Jupiter, is almost circle with
smaller bodies, such as Venus and
the Earth. OCCUPYING a middle posi-
tion.
To verify this thesis long study
was made with the University OF
Virginia observatory telescope. 1t
was found that the path Of the sun
was barely ellipsoid. That Is, 1t
comes just within the critical mass
to maintain steady path around
the dense glactic center. The same
was true for its nearest neighbor
star, Alpha Centauri, about 25,000,-
900 600 900 miles away and visible
only in the southern heavens.
But in the past few years many
smaller stars have been located in
this part of the heavens. These, DR..
Vyssnotsky found. are wanderers In
their celestial paths about as erratic
as Mercury in its path around the
sun.

Suns Path Around Milky Way
Perfect Circle, Scientists Find

/ Evidence for this continuous trend
lin evolution was presented by Dr..
Is. w. Britton OF the University OF
Virginia Medical School.
For several years DR.. Britton has
been studying the abilities OF various
animals to Withstand accelerations
of gravity by placing them on arms
of a rotations machine and revoly-
ing them very rapidly. The result
is that the creatures are subjected
to forces of many "g"-the constant
used in gravity measurements. It is
this force which caused "blackouts"
in bomber pilots when they pulled
out of steep dives. 1t is the force
that breaks mans neck when he is
hanged.
Uses Monkeys for Tests.
Hitherto DR.. Britton has expert
mented chiefly with four-footed ami
mails. His latest experiments, he ex-
planned, have been with monkeys
which have gone long way towards
becoming two-footed animals. He
was surprised to find that they with
stood the "g" shocks. or automatic
cally adjusted themselves to chang
ing "g," much better than any OF
the quadrupeds
This is because walking erect has
forced them to develop through
thousands of generations mechan-
isn,s for adjusting to gravity. Men
cannot be used in such experiments
but, DIR. Britton said, it should be
obvious that the human has been
forced to make even a better ad-
justment than the monkeys. Still
he has not made complete adjust
ment since several serious maladies
still are due to the normal process
of walking erect.
The experiments, DR.. Britton ex-
planned, have an increasing i'm
portance In determining mans ca
pacity to travel In such superspeed
machines as jet planes. Speed itself
is nothing. Everything on earth is
moving about half a million miles
an hour, the sum of the speeds of
the earth's rotation, its yearly circle
around the sun, and the movements
of the solar system as a whole. But
this speed is absolutely invariable.
The problem is starting and stop
ping and the critical rates at which
high speeds can be reached in the
planes of the future and the rate at
which they can be slowed down
must be determined by such expert
ments.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. l4-Sena- tor Magnuson (D-Wash), said to- day he hopes to introduce legisla- ton soon to permit all income tax payers to deduct S200 from the amount of tax they owe
 T think that will be the fairest way to give a tax reduction to all cur taxpayers, Magnuson said It will mean that the man paying a small amount, say S2l0, will have to pay only SD and the man who will pay S10,000 in taxes will have to pay S9,300. It is the same amount for each"
 Magnuson told a reporter that permitting taxpayers to cut $2OO from taxes would be part of his bill intended to simplify filing and calculation Of income taxes.
 His proposal he said. will base the tax on the gross net income of each taxpayer, allowing as the only deductions $500 for each de- pendent and any hospital or doctor bills.

Z The trip Of the rocket ship to the moon,
win be postponed until It can be powered
by atomic fuel and, consequently, all the
speculation about an early exploration Of

there will be volunteers for the job.
