Chanukah legends are closely in

The Maccabeans lit the Chan

Temple MenOrah? Here is a
wonderful theme for a mystery
story.
According to the Talmud, it
weighed So pOundS-aH of pure
gold. When the independence of
the Jewish state was finally de-
strOyed by the Romans, the
MenOrah apparently was car
ried off to Rome in the general
loot.
That the Romans thought it a
great prize is to be seen by the
fact that in the Arch erected i'm
Rome to celebrate the capture
of Jerusalem, there is a picture
of the MenOrah. Later it seems
to have been returned to Jerus-
aIem, and during succeeding
generations it fell into the hands
of various cOnquerOrs, being car
ried off to Africa ON one ex-
cursiOn.
But. as though Destiny insist
ed ON it remaining in its ancient
habitat, it was finally returned
to Palestine, and some hold
that it was secreted somewhere
in an underground vault OF one
of the Christian churches of old

Star stan Correspondent

TORONTO, June LIN a
carefully worded statement it
was indicated here yesterday
that Canada has built and is
testing the worlds biggest and
most powerful jet engine, un-
less Russia has bigger one.
The engine, with $4,000 pounds
of thrust, is more than three
times as powerful as the average
American Jet fighter engine in
operation.
Unofficially known as the
Super brenda and also dubbed
the 'big noise" because when it
starts half of Toronto is said
to hear it. Canada's new engine
is so closely guarded that Craw-
ford Gordon, jr., president and
general manager Of A. v. Roe

single question about it. While
the engine has been OCCASION
ally mentioned in the aviation
trade press and once before at
a Montreal meeting, yesterdays
statement came the closest Of
all to confirming the fact that
the Super brenda exists and
has been tested.
This came out In indirect
fashion during a forum of the
Aviation Writers Association,
which is holding a convention
here. Mr.. Gordon. who was
among the experts speaking, had
copies of his speech distributed
to the writer's before he made
it. He suddenly stopped speak
ing, however, without complet-
ing the text which had been dis
tributed.
Here is what the text showed
after he stopped.
Nov a bit about the future.
Quite properly. security limits
anything I might say in gen.
eralities. However, it is no secret
that great advances in power
plants are necessary If the mill
tary aircraft requirements for
tomorrow's planes are to be met.

Inside of A-CIoud
Found to Be Red

LAS VEGAS, New, April 81
R.-The inside of a boiling
atomic cloud is brick red in
color and smells like the air
after a lightning stroke, scien-
lists making daring flights
through the radioactive mush-
room said today.
They have swooped through
the cloud in jet planes within
40 minutes or so after the bomb
bursts in vital new studies of
radiation, atomic testers an
nounced.
Scientists and pilots are hit
by radiation, for they won't wear
special clothing or protective
shielding. Their plane is in
the cloud for only few seconds,
however.
How much radiation pene-
trates their bodies is measured
by film badges worn outside the
body, and by badges contained
in capsules which they swallow.
Later the capsule is pulled up
from the stomach by a string.
So far, the scientists have not
been exposed to dangerous doses
of radiation.
Eleven men from the research
directorate of the Air Force
Special Weapons Center at Kirt-
land Air Force Base, New Mex
leo, are making the tests.

Of differences between labor groups.
Without doubt there is another benefit to be ex
pected from the new harmony With abor's forces
now united their position becomes stronger. And
this has come at a time when efforts to weaken
and destroy unions have made quite some headway
What are called "right-towork laws have been
enacted in several states, and are being considered
in others Such laws prohibit the union from de-
manding union membership condition for en-
pioyment With some study II can be seen that this
would lead to an effective breaking of unionsm
II would be a short-sighted policy for management
10 espouse the movement to enact "back.towork'

This is not to condone abuses in union. The
remedy for them is not TO be found in destroying
