In some rooms there is evident
need of repair and painting and re-
arrangement of light fixtures, but
work on this is underway and will be
completed soon. New office equipment
and a radiator are ordered for the
treasurer's office. A new index sys-

save much time and effort.
The court room and other rooms
that have been painted present a most
pleasing appearance.

window frames of Jail, and insulating
part of the heating pipes in the base

investigation. He discovered the separa-
ton of the comet Mellish in 1915 and re-
determined the position of the equator Of
Mars in 1929 His contributions to the
Astronomical Journal from 1910 onward
were numerous, thorough and definitive.
He edited the standard manual of field
astronomy for naval officers detailed to
photographic surveys. If much of his
writing was too technical for lay readers,
it was not beyond the comprehension of
the specialized public for which it was
prepared. In that respect he was a scien-
lists scientist.
His friends, however, will remember Mr..
Burton specifically for his genial, kindly,
sympathetic spirit. The beauty OF the
armament made him philosopher-and
an optimist. He possessed an ardent faith
in the universe which he spent his life
exploring, and he had large hopes for the
dwellers on that little speck of cosmic dust
which Is the Earth.

Astronomer PHILOSOPHER

Hundreds of citizens owed their interest
in astronomy to Harry Edward Burton.
They came to him at the Naval Observa-
tory, seeking only passing glance at a
big telescope-just tourists on a hurried
swing around the Capital City. But he
made them FANS sent them away en-
thusiasts. The skill of his teaching was
the fruit Of half century Of experience
not merely with the stars but also with
humanity. He loved the heavens but he
likewise was devoted to people, especially
children. To show a youngster the noun
tains on the edge Of the moon or the
colored rings of Saturn gave him real
pleasure.
Yet 1t would be a mistake to over
emphasize Mr. Burton's work as an astro-
nomical impresario He has left monu-
ment Of achievement at the Observatory
in the form of recorded observations and
calculations Of very great Importance His
reports on asteroids, comets, double stars,
satellites and occultations have become
part OF the standard literature OF celestial

centrating upon communizing the Soviet
Union according to Russian exigencies. In
a sense, Stain might be accused Of
Trotskyism when he subordinates the evo-
luton OF communism in the light of local
conditions to subservience to the interests
Of the Soviet Union.
OF course, Tito does not say this But
his insistence upon the interests of both
the Yugoslav Communist Party and the
Yugoslav nation tends to endear him to
his own people, regardless of theology, and
enables him to defy not only the COMM
form directly but indirectly Moscow as
well. This is the secret of his power
