cop PLANNING
FINISH FIGHT
Leaders Hope To Complete
Program Not Later
Than July 81

WASHINGTON, May. 3.-U.D-
Senate Republican leaders will try
to drive through their legislative
program by July 81, letting the
presidential vetoes fall where they
may.
If the program is stalled by
yetoes, the responsibility WI" be
President Truman's, they said to-
night.
Chairman Robert A. Taft of the
COP policy committee outlined a
work schedule on important foreign
issues, tax reduction, labor regula-
ton and science research.
There has been speculation that
Mr.. Truman may veto labor, tax,
and portal pay bills. Sen. E. H.
Moore, r., Okla, declared that
whatever the President does, con-
gressmen should do their duty"
Moore denounced what ne called
efforts ITO intimidate members of
congress by a veto threat" Such
| efforts, he said, are undue inter-
ference with the legislative
branch.
If they succeeded, he added, the
Legislative would grow weaker
and weaker until it became a
watchfob for dictatorship"
Taft told a reporter he saw little
possibility for closer cooperation
between the White House and the
Republican controlled congress as
a means of avoiding Presidential
veto action.
Taft said that past conferences
between COP leaders and Mr..
Truman had produced talk on
"generalities" rather than on
specific legislative provisions.
Sen. Carl H. Hatch, an influen-
Itial Democratic member did not
agree with this assessment.
Hatch said the Republican pro-
gram would amount to absolutely
nothing" unless there is more Co
operation between congress and
the President.

NEW YORK - Flying a space
ship to Mars might be like swim
ming in a river a million miles
wide, flowing 20 miles an hour,
out to a small rock one mile from
shore.
The swimming is complicated
by the fact that the fast moving
water does not flow in smooth.
straight lines, but has eddles,
mostly unknown, all moving
faster than a swimmer.
The river in which Mars lies is
space. The motion is gravitation's
pull. The eddies r perturbations
in gravitation, due to earth. moon,
the giant planet Jupiter and even
some of the hundreds of asteroids,
which are very small planets.
When the space travellers reach
Mars, the air there will do them
no good. It contains, by the best
astronomical estimates yet made.
only one percent as much oxygen
as earth's air. Some estimates are
only one-thousandth as much.
Also it is doubtful whether the
ships will FIND enough water on
Mars. The amount of water IN
Mars air is estimated at about
three percent of that on earth.
This first ship will have to
carry its own oxygen and water
to last several years.
Probably also all its own food.
Mars temperate and tropical re-
gions turn green in summer. But
there's a catch. The green comes
down from the white pole, which
is supposed to be ice, but could
be something else. On earth the
spring green advances from the
south up toward either pole. There
is no good explanation for Mars
spring reversal. 1t may be due to
the fact that the water has to flow
down from the poles, as they melt,
using the long lines that look
vaguely like geometrically- drawn
canals.
Mars axis is inclined "a de-
srees, so that it has alternate
summers, north and south, much
like the earth. But even in the
warmest belts, where tempera-
lures seem to 60 to 60 to 80 de-
grees in daytime, there is astro-
nomical evidence that it falls far
below zero at night, perhaps to
the GOODNESS of dry ice.
Mars clouds have been seen Is
to 20 miles high. That is three to
five times higher than earthly
clouds. There are two explana-
tions: one is that they are water
or vapor clouds, riding higher be-
cause g~ravitation's pull on Mars
Is three times less than on earth.
The other is dust. There is good
astronomical evidence to support
the dust explanation.
One conclusion is safe on the
basis Of present evidence, namely.
that Martians would be no better
suited to live on earth than man

Since Jackie Robinson taken into the Brooklyn

lined up in the Big Leagues Some made good some failed
which is the natural human equation.
The struggle to open the gates of Big League Baseball
to Negro players have been definitely In short
while the newness of the situation will be and crowds
will not be attending just to Negro Boys play and ex
pectng performance of them Then will be mat
ter of seeing good baseball should be matter who
plays it. In this way Negroes will be truly ntegrated in the
game and they will be measured strictly by the standard
of the game Not until then will they be at ease and able
to play their best.
There may have to be discrimination in selling tickets
for the series else there will be for white patrons
which only goes to prove the high cost of segregation
which should be lesson to other segregated
which depend on the public for support.
