'Ruin' on the Sun

The 1949 meeting Of the American
for the Advancement of Science
gave the public at large more than an
ordinary quota of thrills, but nothing
excelled the sensation caused by the show
ing of motion picture of rain" on the
sun. This film had been in process of
production for six years. Most of it was
made at the observatory Of Harvard and
the University Of Colorado at Climax,
Colorado. It was the work of DR.. Walter
o. Roberts and was sponsored by the Office
Of Naval Research, the Air Materiel Com
mand and the National Bureau of Stand
ards. The exhibition was presented by
DR.. Donald H. Mcneil, professor of astro-
physics at Harvard and author of "Our
Sum-" published few months ago as one
OF series of Harvard texts on astronomy
What impressed the A. A. A. s. audience
was the demonstration of prodigious activ-
ity on the solar disk. Still pictures of the
past simply had not given an adequate
impression of the dynamics of "the greater
orb" A sun spot reproduced in static form
was exactly that-a static spot. DR.. Menzel
displaying the cinema views taken by Dr.
Roberts in the high Rockies, proved in
graphic fashion that they are distinc-
lively, ceaselessly mobile. This, Of, course,

was correct as far as it went. Now by
grace Of the motion picture camera the
substances" have been shown to be, in
DR.. Menzels judgment, storms, perhaps
of cyclonic character"
The largest spot studied at Climax
appeared in April, 1947. It's total area was
about six thousand million square miles, or
about l per cent of the area OF the sun

about hundred bodies the size of our
Earth. Such disturbance, as DR.. Menzel
looks upon it, would be "hlamentary clouds

anything William A. Brady ever produced.
Almost from his birth, he was in show
business of one sort or another He peddled
candy on Union Pacific trains as boy,

acteristic OF his nature. The first pro-
fessional acting he attempted was in low
comedy-for which he was not suited, yet
he did not fail. Later, he followed Edwin
Booth, Modjeska, Salvini, Barrett and Nc
Cullough through "the palmy days" Those

A Balanced District Budget

The most encouraging thing ABOUT the
S119,244875 District budget for the next
fiscal year is that it is balanced one,
calling for no tax increases. More than
that, a surplus of more than $1,7OO00O Is
foreseen-a most welcome and surprising
prospect after last years deficit troubles,
forerunner of the sales tax Yet the new
budget should take care of the citys more
urgent needs, with special attention to
the long-neglected welfare field.
In order to present balanced budget,
the Commissioners cut deeply into many
desirable improvement programs sought
by school, health, water and other depart
ments. There viii be criticism of many
of these cuts, especially in view OF the
indications that the year will end with
nearly a million-dollar surplus to
Washington's credit. But the Commits
sioners are on sound ground in seeking to
build up surplus for emergencies, instead
of striking a delicate balance that can be
upset by the slightest miscalculation of the
estimators, or by unforeseen developments.
It is good business practice in government
as we'll as in private industry, to maintain
a financial reserve, rather than operate on
a hand-to-mouth basis. The District was
fortunate during the past year in receiving
revenue windfalls in the form of share
of John L. Lewis fine and extra-large in
heritance tax payments, but such bounties
cannot be expected every year. And there
is always the possibility of unpredictable
drains, such as the Supreme Courts recent
decision against the District in the bank
tax case.
Although the welfare agencies did not
have all of their requests granted by any
means-which is no new experience-they
did receive the Commissioners approval
on numerous projects that have been too
long inactive. The benefciaries will. be
the children, the aged and the infirm for
whom public care is essential. Improve
ments at the proposed Children's Center
at Laurel are definitely scheduled, at long
last. The immediate need is for water,
sewerage and other utilities for the District
Training School there, these facilities to
become available later for the projected
Industrial Home School, funds for the
planning of which are included in the
budget. The much-critieized Home for the
Aged and Infirm at Blue Plains was listed
for an inf1rmary and laundry, the former
badly needed for the treatment of chronic
invalids AS usual, large part of the
welfare budget was allotted to Federal
institution, st. Elizabeths Hospital, to
pay for the Districts mentally ill there.
The District must continue to pay this
steadily mounting bill Git has risen from
s1.00 patient in 1941 to s427 today al
though it has no voice in the fixing of
the rates.
The final budget represents a twenty
million-dollar slash in the total of depart
mental requests. None of these requests
could be regarded as extravagant, and the
Commissioners cutting job therefore was
tough one. Those who would criticize
the cutting should not lose sight of the
Importance of balanced budget. The
Commissioners deserve commendation for
keeping this goal in mind despite the pres
sures from many departmental quarters.
