-UA Sets Goal
Of $4,000

DR.. Homer c. Alexander, dis
trict chairman for the United
Appeals Metropolitan Division
in East Cleveland, today an
nounced a campaign goal for
the district of S16,631.
Section chairmen are Mrs.
James McKie who is directing
the Hayden section and seek
ing $2,143; Mrs. Budd Andrews
chairs the Shaw section with
an individual goal of $10,23s.
Mrs. Ross Sharp directs the
Superior section and aims for
S4,250.
DR.. Alexander said that the
total figure of $16,631 repre-
sents one of many similar
building blocks toward a sue
cessful conclusion Of the 1859
drive "if all residents, volun-
teers and solicitors alike, do
their part"
The goal itself reflects
seven percent increase over last
years campaign result.
United Appea volunteer
leaders have explained the in
crease as IAN absolute must"
if UA agencies services for
1860 are to continue to meet
residents demands and the ris-
ing cost of living on a par with
current services.
1t was further and empha-
tically pointed out that the
total campaign goal of SILL
'S65,000 is, in itself, bare mini
mum figure nearly a million
dollars short of the actual
needs, certified by public
spirited and civic-minded bud
get committees.
Hecker added that the "house
to house" phase of the cam
paign "is a reflection of neigh
bors and neighborhood concern
for the less fortunate citizens
of our entire metropolitan area.
To aid this endeavor as vol
unteer, contributor or both, is
more kind and noble than
words, can say"
Overall goal of the Metropoli-
tan Division, headed by Chair
man Robert A. Schenkelberg,
is $703,7O0.

we in America are blessed with
"large instruments and a clear
sky
He is quick to draw attention
to the fact that it is because
the wealthy in our country have
given their money "for ideal
istic things, such as the needs
of the astronomers" that the
United States leads the world
in this field. He illustrates as
follows, "the largest instru-
ment in the world, the 200 inch
telescope, was built with Rookie
feller money and Carnegie mon
ey built the Mt. Wilson observ-
at9ry."
The Case Observatory itself
is supported by private organi-
cations and families, principal
ly, the Warner family. Equip
ment is provided through the
courtesy of the Cleveland
Foundation for Astronomy.
DIR. Nassau also feels that
educated Europeans are gain
ing in their respect of Ameri-
can maturity and growth. The
cOngenial professor said that,
years ago Americans used to
go to Europe to get their
dOctorates. More and more
the reverse is true today.
First, students go to school
in Europe, then come here for
their PhDs." With the excep-
tiOn of Russian students, DIR.
Nassau added. Russia does

citation were presented to
him Sept. Goth by Kent
Smith acting Case president.
The citation read in part:
master of profund, stimula-
ting, and entertaining dis
course by his own char
acter demonstration to stu
dents of the virtue of
strength, wisdom, kindness
and humility"
DR.. Nassau's profession has
taken him almost all over the
globe. Every summer he goes
to Europe in connection with
his work. During this past sum-
mer he visited the Vatican OBJ
servatory, did coordinated re-
search in Greece and lectured
in Istanbul:
Activities in astronomy are
so dominated by America that
almost every European astron-
omer is forced to learn Eng
lish," observes DR.. Nassau. In
ternational meetings almost al
conducted in English.
He credits the success Of the
United States in this field to
good location and cooperative
men. DR.. Nassau points out that

not send her scientists out of
the country for instruction
and she graduates far more
than we do, stated DR.. Mas
sau.
A jump ahead of the trend,
DIR. Nassau himself was adu-
Gated at Edinburg and Cam
bridge. He received his Doctor
ate from Syracuse University.
In addition to the citation,
another indication of how high
ly the Case administration
thinks of him, is the new Case
observatory at Chardon which
bears the name, Nassau Astron-
omical Station.
One of the experiences over
which DR.. Nassau muses. is
the time he played dinner host
to two Russians in his home.
1t was in 1947 that the two
Russian scientists came to his
East Cleveland home and DIR.
Nassau said how he wished
that only one had come for
dinner. And it wasn't there
appetites which prompted
this attitude. He related that
the conversation was stilted.
He couldn't help feeling that
one was spying on the other.
His suspicion was borne out
when a few days later he re-
ceived a letter the one scien-
tist had managed to smuggle
past the other.
The Case Observatory at
Taylor and Brunswick rd., is
famous throughout the world.
1t is the home of the Cleveland
Astronomical Society. Distin-
guished astronomers from all
over the world come to address
the group. DR.. Nassau will lead
the society's first meeting of
the fall season Oct. 10Th. In
subsequent m eet ings these
noted scientists will address the
Society, DR.. G. de Vaucouleurs,

While Seth Taft and Donald
Carmichael, two members OF
the County Charter Commis-
sion, who as yet are untainted
by the politician label, are out
beating the drums on the wom-
ems club and civic organization
circuit. Boss Ray Miller and
his hencemen have been sitting
back and chortling over the
civic Righteousness they have
been peddling.
A different story, however,
is being told to the ward heel
ers and others anxious to tap
the public payrolls. They are
being told there'll be jobs
aplenty when 1--WE put it over"
But buried on an inside
page of the Plain Dealer last
Saturday was the real story of
the proposed County Charter.
Opponents, getting little space
in the daily papers, have called
it for what it is-"the biggest
political grab for spoils in the
history of Cuyahoga County"
With a strangle hold on coun-
ty government Miller and his
henchmen have been looking
with envy at Cleveland's pub
lie utilities and other Cleveland
departments. Independent may
ors have prevented them from
getting a real hold in City Hall.
They've also been blocked from
getting a hold on the suburbs,
but the County Charter puts
them we'll on their way in both
areas.
But let Boss Miller tell the
plot himself, as reported in
Saturdays Plain Dealer.
Quickly, unanimously, unsur-
prisingly the Democratic execu-
tive committee endorsed the
county charter last night.

SGd dJlOliS.
According to DR.. Jason J.
Nassau, prominent Case astron-
omer and recently retired head
of the Case Observatory, a TV
camera will be set up at the
telescope to see what the eye
would see and transmit it's OBJ
servations to the many vicari-
Gus viewers.
This is one of the things
which the observatory will Of
fer as a community service.
Another feature which the OBJ
servatory presents to the pub
lie is certain nights during the
college year when lectures are
given on some aspect of astron-
omy and the public is allowed
to view the sky through the
telescope. This years series
starts tonight with a talk on
the solar and lunar eclipses.
Other talks scheduled for
this year include, life in 9TH
er worlds, the winter sky,
exploring the universe above
the earth's atmosphere, meas
uring and weighing the
planets and the earth-mOOn
system.
But the chief function of
the observatory is the instruc-
ton of Case students and re-
search on our galaxy.
Having the largest prism in
the United States has aided
these scientists in their re-
search projects according to
DR.. Nassau. The eminent as
tronomer calls attention to the
fact that Case was the pioneer
in the study Of infra red light
of the stars. They are pres
emily studying ultra violet star
light. Some of the stars in our
own steller system are 5000
times as bright as our sun.
This is one of the things which
ultra violet light tells scien-
lists says DR.. Nassau. The
brighter the star, the younger
it is.
DR.. Nassau added that the
nucleus of our galaxy has
many red giant stars which are
at least 600 times or more
brighter than our sun. They are
100 times larger in diameter
than our sun.
DIR. Nassau had been head
of the observatory from 1921
until July of this year. He
was ten first recipient of
