Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-09-07

upon this inquire depend
the universe-the distances Of
stars. the size and shape Of
Igalaxies. the magnitude Of crea-
ton itself. According to rela-
tivity it is the ultimate OF
velocity and the point at which
the weight Of any material
mass becomes infinite. For the
last half century this speed has
been measured and remeasured
all over the world. but the work
has been extremely difiCult and
results have varied BY amile Of
more.
Echoes Give Accuracy
Now extreme accuracy has
become more important with
introduction Of techniques Of
radar surveying in which dis
tances between points, some
times separated by hundreds OF
miles, are determined by the
echoes Of short waves. Radio
waves travel with precisely the
speed Of light and an error Of
a kilometer. insignificant in de-
termining the distance Of q

new radar surveying instru-
ments themselves are being
used to determine light speed
over distances very precisely
measured with q steel tape.

our ice noe broke for the first

were two more large crevasses.
BY the end Of July it was 10

the ocean where often, during
storms, there was no other
piece Of ice in sight. Waves
splashed over our camp. The
edge Of the ice was continually
crumbling. But these circum-
stances did not hinder our
scientific work. In order to pre-
serve our piece Of ice we drilled
holes and let the surface thaw
water down under the ice. It

the sea water came through the

masses Of water were let down
into the sea and by the start Of

All the Russian scientists sur

Tolstikov said, was to squelch

for land.

DR.. Tolstikov.
He cited the conclusions of
Soviet magnetic experts and did
not indicate the relative
strength Of the two reported

He said the two magnetic
areas appeared to be 8 to 10
degrees apart. but did not
specify whether this meant de-

". M Newton. jr., managing
editor Of the Tampa Tribune,
yesterday discussed what he
called abuses Of the order with
Gerald Morgan. special counsel
to President Eisenhower, and
with Defense Department ON
cials.
Mr.. Newton represented the
Associated Press Managing Edi-
tors Association and Sigma
Delta Chi. Journalism. frater-
nifty. He said both groups had
adopted resolutions urging cam
collation. of President Eisen-
hower's 1858 directive, issued to
safeguard offlcial information
in the interest Of defense Sc
curity.
Discussing his conversation
with Mr.. Morgan. Mr.. Newton
told reporters:
Il said we regretted the abuse
Of the 1858 order and said If
secrecy expanded in the next
rs years as it has developed
in the last Is, not only will
freedom Of the press be seri-
ously impaired, but other free
doms Of our grandchildren will
be irreparably impaired.
Laws for Open Meetings
II told him editors all over
the country had gotten laws
for open meetings and open
records adopted BY Legislatures
in eight States, and that 1t was
time for the Federal Govern
ment. too. to get interested in
open government"
Mr.. Newton said Mr.. Morgan
agreed that something ought
to be done about the abuse.
He said he would welcome con-
crete examples Of secrecy in
government"
The editor said he had COLI
lected data on SO instances
which he said his two groups
regard as efforts by the admin
istration to exert "a form Of
political censorship"
He said he planned to gather
additional examples and to
make q more formal presenta-
ton this fall to support his
request for cancellation Of the
1853 directive.
Mr.. Newton quoted Mr..
Morgan as saying that per-
haps President Eisenhower
should issue a more positive
statement" stressing informa-
ton which should be released
regarding expenditure Of pub
lie funds.
Meets Murray Snyder
The Tampa newsman later
met at the Pentagon with
Murray Snyder. Assistant Sec
Rotary of Defense for Public
Affairs. and Chauncey Rob-
bins. Mr.. Snyder's assistant.
Mr.. Newson also discussed the
information problem with q
group Of reporters at the De-
Tense Department.
The editor related that Mr..
Snyder told him Il could get
everything wanted from
him." But. Mr.. Newton added.
there is q curtain Of secrecy
cloaked over all legitimate news
Of the Government"
Mr.. Newton said there were
abuses Of other Presidential
edicts beside the 1858 order.
He said 10 Federal agencies

Mr.. Newton added he was
confused by that situation
because President Eisenhower
told a news conference last
January that no information
about public expenditures
should be withheld except data
involving security.

self in the pile of moss in the bot
tom of his cage, and he liked to
retire there frequently.
Recently the snake shed his skin,
leaving wrapped over twig. Miss
Hodson was showing this to the
Principal the other day, and they
decided to look at the snake and see
how he was getting along. They
lifted up the moss on the right side
of the cage, and he wasn't there
Then they lifted up the moss on
the left side of the cage, and he
wasn't there either.
Well, naturally, Mr.. Jirus, the
principal, and Miss Hodson didn't
say anything about the snakes dis
appearance to the children. II
would hardly do to say to class,
Lift up your desk tops, children,
and see if there is snake there.
So they just decided to wait a
while, and they asked the custodian
to keep an eye peeled for it some
where around the building.
Some days later the snake was
found-two floors below, in the
PTA room, Mrs. Marjorie Dion's
classroom. How it got there, no.
bodys knows. But here is another
strange thing. Miss Hodson's room
is fifth grade room and so is Mrs.
Dion's. If that snake left his ter
rarium in the hope of bettering
himself and getting promoted, he
certainly didn't do very good job
of it.
Mayfair
One Of the ways Of teaching
third grade social studies, English,
mathematics, and history is to tie
all of these studies in to some one
subject, such as Transportation or
Indians. Different classes do these
things in different ways. This year
Mrs. Verna Gray, third grade
teacher at Mayfair School, decided
that she wanted to try different
method with her pupils and not do
Indians. She mentioned this to her
class, but they told her they liked
Indians very much.
So Mrs. Gray decided to do a
little something with Indians; the
girls could bring doll, or the boys
could make a drum or something.
That is the way it started. But the
children did extra work-more than
their assignment, you might say.
The subject began to take hold, and
you can guess the rest.
The class is now into the subject
of Indians in big way, illustrated
notebooks started, blackboard dis
play beginning to fill up, tepees
and hogans blossoming on draw
ing paper all over the room, dolls
and warriors beginning to populate
the place-in a word, the works.
The third grade project has been
decided upon for the next few
weeks, by a rather decisive ma
jority vote.

second largest elementary school
enrolment in the city. Included in
this total are seven sets of twins
and one set of triplets. The kinder
garten is the largest class in the
school, with 10 five-year olds en-
rolled; and 28 newcomers have
swelled the ranks of the other
grades, including four former Hill
toppers who have returned from
other schools.
These facts about the current size
of the school on the hill were an

Camping: First Week
Sixth grade children from Cham
bers and Rozelle Schools had many
experiences to tell about when they
returned from their week of out
door school at River Road Camp
two weeks ago.
Pleasurable events such as in
teresting hikes, fun nights, huge
meals, and the making of new
friends are already cherished mem
ories of almost everybody that was
there; but some untold happenings
will be long remembered, too. For
one thing, the skunk came back; he
had visited the East Cleveland chill
dren last year, you may recall.
Then, there had been just enough
rain recently to leave quite bit of
mud around, into which unwary
feet plunged when the children
they were attached to were busily
looking for fossils, nevis, or
thistles. And as to what happened
at the cabins that Thursday night,
the less said the better.
Map-making, Indian lore, as
trOnomy, the study of plants and
animals, arts and crafts work, and
many other studies were pursued
in the pleasant woodland surround
ings, to add to the knowledge of
the students as well as to give
them a store Of memories that will
stay with them a long time.
ROZelle
Rozelle seems to specialize in
stories about animals, for some rea-
son or another. Last year, you may
recall, it was the story of the Hen
That Could, and Did; this year the
Phillips ave. school is talking about
the Snake That Disappeared.
1t seems that there was this
small snake, a harmless fellow, in
the terrarium in Miss Ruth Hod-
