ants. DR.. Hoyle said, now are
known in the universe. They
are enormous stars with di-
ameters about the same as
that of the entire solar sys-
tenn but with a density about
three times that of the sun
at present. They apparently
are forming all the time, DR..
Hoyle said, out of bodies like
the sun.
On the surface they are
relatively cool stars but with
extremely hot cores. The
suns process of expansion
now has been in progress a
long time, says DR.. Hoyle,
and is indicated by an in
crease of as much as 20 per
cent in the solar tempera-
ture since the beginning of
observation. This means that
it slowly is expanding.
The core of such a red
giant, however, is estimated to
have a temperature of a few
billion degrees centigrade and
to have about 10 times the
density of water. This red
giant stage persists for mil
leniums but eventually the
star is transformed into a
white dwarf with a density
hardly more than a sand
grain. This can happen in
two ways, DR.. Hoyle ex-
planned. First, the center or
core of the star can collapse
and this results in a so-called
supernova explosion in which
the luminosity of a hitherto
lnconspicuous star suddenly
increases thousands-fold in a
titanic explosion. The matter
OF the star is scattered
throug h the surrounding
universe. This is apparently
a quite rare occurrence. So
far as observations 60 it hap
pens only once every few
years in a galaxy of a few
billion stars.
The core is left as a small.
intensely hot white star.
Many of these so-called
white dwarfs" have been OBJ
served. A white dwarf also
can result without an explo-
sion by the gradual depletion
OF the matter making up the
bulk of a red giant until only
the core is left.
Invisible "Black Dwarfs"
Now, DR.. Hoyle explained,
the observable white dwarfs
differ quite considerably in
luminosity. although presum-
ably it is about the same for
all OF them at the start. This
indicates that they are grow
ing cooler and it can be as
Sumed that some have cooled
to the point where there is no
way of detecting them. These
would be black dwarfs."
which never have been seen
but whose existence may be
deduced.
There may be, DR.. Hoyle
said, two kinds of supernova
explosions, the most titanic
blasts in creation. One is
due to the implosion of the
core. In the other type the
matter built up in the red
giant just blows up. In either
case it is a matter of a few
minutes at the most. The
dust from such an explosion
is scattered for millions of
light years through space and
out of it eventually new
stars are formed, to undergo
the same evolution to dust
again in a few billion years,

"TAKOMA PARK, Md.

AAAAAOAf4E1 kA1GIAt NlQ,
Dear Sir:
What do you think of the
advisability of wearing sun
glasses? Especially the type
with the fine Italian influ-
ence, that make either man
or woman look rather
f1endish?
I recently purchased a
pair of these. and my family
laughs at me. They say,
Mommy, you are too old for
such glasses I don't know
exactly what type they think
would look good on me.
my problem is whether
sun glasses are good for the
eyes. You have said in the
past that the eyes are made
for light. Since I think this
10 be true, I wonder about
cutting down on the glare.
My question is, is glare
good for the eyes? What do
you think?
Sincerely, HELENA @. K"
There is, indeed, a differ
ence between sunlight and
glare. And just when SUM-
shine becomes glare must be
left to the individual.
Nobody else can tell YOU
when your eyes hurt.
The sensitive character of
the eye is one of the marvels
OF nature. Very tough, in
some respects, the eye is very
touchy in others. 1t responds
to care as few other tissues,
yet may go for long periods
without any attention.
1t is here, one may believe,
the trouble comes.
Those who have become
careless with their eyes tend
to keep on being careless,
even after the need arises
for a different treatment.
1t is here as it is with the
hair on ones head. Young
children take their hair as
a matter of course, and teen
ayers simply do not worry.
Hair and eyes respond to
attention.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Core of Milky Way Is Stellar Cluster
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

The core of the Milky Way
galaxy in which the solar
system is a minor star is a
dense cluster containing at
least l billion stars closely
packed together.
This has been determined,
says DR.. Otto StruVe, director
of the National Science Foun-
dation's radio astronomy OBJ
servatory at Greenbank.
w. Va, by recent observations
both there and independently
in Holland.
This nucleus. DR.. Struve
says, occupies a spherical
space about 300 light years
in diameter-a light year be-
ing the distance traverSed in
a year by light at a speed of
about 10000 miles a second.
There are many So-called
"globular clusters" in the
heavens. They are each of
about the same size as the
one constituting the nucleus.
but in the same space contain
only about 100000 stars like
the sun, instead of a billion.
Nucleus Is Dazzling
Between the stars of the
nucleus is a thin gas, con-
tanning about 1000 hydrogen
atoms per cubic centimeter.
The stars are so closely
packed, DR.. Struve reports,
that in that celestial neigh
bcrhood the sky would appear
lighted by thousands of them
intermediate IN brightness
between the full moon and
the planet Venus. Midnight
would be bright as day.
The existence of the titanic
cluster is determined by ra-
dio wave observations, rather
than visual. Further study,
DR.. Struve stresses, is of vital
Importance because the nu-
cleus contains in some form
the principal driving force
which determines the motions
of other stars and clouds
of gas throughout the galaxy.
This probably is true also of
the millions of similar GAL
aXies of billions of stars
throughout the universe.
The observations, DR.. Struve
stresses, are barely within
the range of any present
radio telescope and one with
a much larger diameter will
be essential for more dc allied
studies.
Up to now radio wave ennis
sionS have not been diStin-
guiShed from any single star,
other than the sun, but there
Is a far more powerful ennis
sion from the great galactic
nucleus as a whole. Eventually
it may be possible to pick
out individual stars.
4 + =
The sun, now an average
star, is on its way towards
becoming a red giant, then
a white dwarf, and finally a
black dwarf or essentially a
cold lump of rock in the
Milky Way galaxy of a few
billion stars.
All these changes can be
expected in the next 10 bill
lion years, or about twice the
present age of the solar sys-
tenn. This is the evolutionary
course of all similar celestial
bodies, says DR.. Fred Hoyle
of Cambridge University,
England, a guest at the an
nual meetings of the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences.

Your editorial on Chess
man was well stated. What
I would appreciate know
ing is what opponents of
capital punishment would
have us do with murderers,
kidnapers, and severe sex
offenders. If we imprison
them for life, our prisons
will have to increase in size
to name one result. If we
give them light sentences or
any opportunity for parole,
they will be free to repeat
their crimes.
I would like to ask the
critics of capital punish
ment and proponents of short
sentences or chances of pa
role to have these persons
when released live near or
with them and their fami-
lies, especially if there are
similar temptations present
as those which led to the
initial crime. Let them suf-
fer the consequences and see
how quickly and readily they
turn the other cheek.

With all the hysteria over
the ChesSman case here and
abroad, perhaps it would be
desirable if the press and ra-
dio reviewed in all its grim
details the reason for the
sentencing of Chess man
twelve years ago. AS time
goes by, we forget the hor-
ror of the crimes committed,
and our sympathieS gradu-
ally change to the person who
looms greatest in the news.
What has happened to his
victims? A review of the de-
tails of the case would re-
mind us of the monstrosity
of the crimes and perhaps
change our viewpoint on the
justice of the punishment.

Congratulations on your
editorial, "Chessman - and
Victim" of May 8. It's high
; time someone spoke out for
his victims and for American
Justice for the benefit of the
foreign press and for those
here at home who forget so
easily.
Your editorial does credit
to you and your paper and
stands out in sharp contrast
to the one that appeared in
the Washington Post, which,
in my opinion, failed COM
pletely to get at the truth in
the case.
AS a newcomer to Wash
ington, I am impressed with
your paper. The people here
are fortunate indeed to have
a paper of your high moral
principles and enlightened
leadership.

Now that CheSSman is
dead, shall we say that he
suffered a punishment that
will deter others from COM
mitting a similar crime? The
answer is mo" because he
had so many brushes with
death that the sting of un-
willingly passing into eternity
had long since lost its potency.
Did mankind profit by his
death? Hardly-as a warning
lesson. His execution was not
a public spectacle to teach a
lesson because history proves
that it would have been a

We thank you fof your
editorial, "Chessman - and

doubt the best newspaper
editorial we have ever read.
Never was so much truth
said in so small a space and
in so few words. 1t should

1t is about time that some
attention be given to the
victims of these monsters,
who receive so much pity
from our so-called nice peo-
pie. Your issue of May 2, 1860
reported that a prominent
Episcopal bishop and certain
lesser persons of Hollywood
made a last-minute appeal to
Gov. Brown on behalf of
Chessman. 1t would be inter-
esting to know if the good
bishop and the lesser persons
have ever visited Cheeseman's

Your editorial, "Chessman-

piece. I wish the news item

says she doubts if her daugh-
ter will ever be released from

brutal depravity she had been
subjected to.

faith in the Supreme Court

on a TV program that he had
some reservations about de-
cisions made in the past.
That was an excellent edi-
torial April "a on the NAL
