There is an invisible red
aurora.
1t is a diffusion over polar
skies, sometimes reaching
far towards middle latitudes,
of a faint red luminescence.
1t appears quite independent
of northern and southern
lights although sometimes it
may occur at the same times.
It is far too faint to be seen
by the human eye and can
be detected only by delicate
instruments. Even on the
darkest night it is drowned
in the glow of the night sky.
It's existence has just been
reported to the international
Geophysical Year Committee
of the National Academy OF
Sciences by Drs. F. E. Roach
and E. A. Marovich of the
United States Bureau Of
Standards radio propagation
Laboratory.
Undetected by Eye
The red aurora, they re-
port, is made up of only a
single wave length of red
light. They observed it from
Fritz Peak in the Colorado
Rockies and from a Geophys-
ical Year station at Rapid
City, S. Oak. 1t reaches,
they report, maximum in
tensity of six to seven "kilo-
rayleighs." The kilorayleigh
is a light unit. An intensity
of about 30 kilorayleighs is
necessary before the human
eye can detect color in light.
The studies OF the two
American observers, accord
ing to the report, have been
supplemented by DR.. Henry
Barber of the Haute Pro-
ence observatory in the
French Alps. He has report
ed the invisible auroras on
the same nights and of the
same intensities as observed
by the Americans.
The luminosity, according
to the report, appears in the
form of an arc across the
northern sky. as do the viSi-
BILE northern lights. There is,
however, no indication of any
direct relationship between
the two phenomena.
Drs. Roach and Marovich
offer a tentative explanation.
The ordinary northern lights
are presumed to be due to
some effect on light of the
recently discovered Van Allen
belts, areas of intense radia-
tion due to the trapping Of
radioactive particles from
space around the two mag
netic poles of the earth.

Voice vs.. Nosser

May I be permitted to
comment on the press report
that President" Canal AbdeI
Nasser might be invited to
Washington during his visit
to the United Nations. This
report has caused great con-
Germ among the thousands of
exiled democratic Egyptians
who, like ourselves, were COM
PEELED to leave their country
to escape the Nasser regime.
The American Government
need not be reminded of the
totalitarian character of the
Nasser regime, its ruthless
denial of fundamental human
rights and democratic free
doms, its sitting of free
speech. it's appropriation of
the Egyptian press and it's
delinquent and subversive
policies within and outside
the Arab world.
The Egyptian dictator's
claim to Arab leadership can
be upheld only by an enemy
of Arab nationalism. The
Arabs stand for freedom,
dignity and justice, and the
majority of the Arab ma
tionalist leaders only chal-
lenge Nasser's claim.
The Nasser regime has been
identified with the agitation,
violence and unrest that have
plagued most of the Arab
countries during the last five
years. Only a few days before
attending the United Nations
General Assembly, Nasser
publicly urged the overthrow
of Jordan's King HuSSein and
President Bourguiba of Tuni-
sia whom he branded as
American stooges." We can
also point to the recent and
abominable killing of Jordan's
Prime Minister and IA other
innocent persons which King
Hussein has formally blamed
on the Egyptian ruler.
The proposed invitation to
NaSser to visit Washington is
an insult to common sense
and an affront to the Egyp-
tians, the Arabs and the
Americans.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Kennedy on Defense in the South
By GOULD LINCOLN

Nixon-Lodge supporters in
Virginia are now distributing
copies of the Democratic
National Platform-and the
Republican counterpart-for
a dime each. This new wrinkle
in campaigning, especially the
distribution of an opposing
party's platform, originated
in the 9th Congressional
District, where Jack L. Mid
dleton is Republican chair
man. He is relying on the
unpopularity of the Demo-
cratic platform with Virginia
voters. He seems to have
struck it rich, in political
gold.
When he first conceived
the idea of distributing the
party platforms as an aid
to the voters in making up
their minds whether to vote
for Vice President Nixon, the
G. o. P. candidate, or Sena-
tor John F. Kennedy, the
Democratic candidate for
President, he approached the
Democratic organization in
the district, suggesting that
it join with him in purchasing
1000 copies Of the platforms
and that the Republicans and
Democrats then trade 500
copies of their platforms to
be distributed free to any
voters who expressed an in
terest. The Democrats turned
down the proposal. So Mr..
Middleton has gone ahead
with the idea, himself-only
he sells each platform for 10
cents at cost.
G. o. P. Pressing the Issue
The Democrats in Virginia
supporting the Kennedy
johnson ticket obviously
recognize the unpopularity
Of the Democratic National
Platform. They are taking
the line that party platforms
do not mean anything, and
that even if they did, the
Republican platform is SINH
lar to that Of the Democrats.
The Republicans and other
supporters Of Mr.. Nixon
against Senator Kennedy,
however, are hitting hard,
and making an issue Of the
Democratic platform, partic-
ularly of it's planks favoring
repeal Of the right-to-work
law virginia has such a
law), the proposal Of Federal
contributions to teachers
salaries, and an F. E. P. C.
law. Such planks are hard for
many Virginians to stomach.
Mr.. Middleton has opened
a Republican Office right next
to Kennedy-Johnson head
quarters, and in the front
window he has placed a large
sign saying that voters can
obtain copies of the Demo-
cratic platform as well as the
Republican.
AS the Republicans have
come to recognize the value
to them of the Democratic
platform as a campaign issue
they are pressing it in all
Southern States.
Reports from Texas to
South Carolina indicate the
Republicans have more than
a fighting chance in many
of the II States Of the old
Solid South-on which the
Democratic national ticket
used to rely always for sup
port in a presidential elec.
tion. Claims are made, fol-
example, that, notwithstand-
ing the presence on the Dem
ocratic ticket of Senator Lyn-
don johnson of Texas, the

No New Lousche

xour editorial cartoon of
September 20. depicting
Ohio's Senator Frank j.
LauSche, Democrat, indors-
ing Senator Kennedy while
Adlai Stevenson asks what
he lacked that Lausche did
not indorse him in 1852 or
1856 is clever, but, unfor-
tunately, at complete vari-
ance with facts.
I personally was present
on the Stevenson Campaign
train in Ohio in 1856 and
heard Senator Lausche at
Toledo. Elyria, Akron and
youngstown introduce Adlai
Stevenson and warmly in
dorse him.
Mr.. Lausche, then Gov
ernor of Ohio, used the same
technique in 1956-and in
l952-as he did this year.
He made no commitments at
the time Of the national
convention and kept specula-
ton centered upon his in
tentions. When there had
been sufficient newspaper
stories limiting that he would
bolt the party and the maxi
mum amount of suspense
had been built up, he came
out for the party's nominee.
He never has bolted the
Democratic Party. In 1850.
when Senator Robert A,
Taft, Republican, was seek
ing reelection. he did not
indorse Mr.. Taft. as is wide
ly reported. He merely re-
trained from giving any open
support to Joseph T. Fer
guson. Mr.. Taft's lack-luster
opponent. This was a mat
ter of self-protection. He
wanted to be reelected gov
ernor and he could see that
MIR. Ferguson was going to
be defeated by a wide mar
gin.
When Senator Lausche
was conspicuously missing
from Senator Kennedy's
campaign caravan in Cleye-
land last week, it was a sure
sign to those who really
know Ohio politics that it
was time for his quadrennial
grandstand play" After
having delighted the Repub-
iicans no end with his SEEM
ing intransigence, it would
then be time to make peace
OF a sort with the desperate
Democrats.
Senator Lausche made the
same grandStand play when
newly-elected to the Senate
in 1856. Arriving in WASH
lngton, he refused to attend
the Democratic Party caucus.
and said he didn't know
whether he would vote to
help the Democrats organize
the Senate. Since the Dem
ocrats had only a 40 to AZ
edge, this was a crucial oues-
tlon, but when the roll was
called. Lausche quietly voted
Tor the Democrats, as he
had, of course, planned to do
all along. The Washington
press corps, naive to Mr..
Lausche's ways, bought the
performance lock, stock and
barrel.
Seemingly neither the po-
lltical punditS nor The Star
are any more sophisticated
IN 1860 to Mr.. Lausche's
methods. They attribute a
great rise in Kennedy's stock
as a result of his indorse-
ment, just as they did (if
you'll bother to look up the
clippingS) to his Endorsement
Of Adlai in 1856. Yet
Stevenson lost Ohio by $780,
900 votes while Lausche de-
feated the hapless Senator
George H. Bender, Repub-
lican, by 125,000 votes.
His Endorsement by no
means indicates strength for
Kennedy. 1t merely indicates
what those of us who follow
Ohio politics closely already
knew, namely that Lausche
stands greatly in need of the
votes of his Slavic and Irish
constituents in Cleveland to
be reelected in 1862, and he
had to get on the bandwagon
a little earlier than usual
because they were getting
angry with him for snubbing
Jack.

publican leaders say they
have good chances to win
the electoral votes of Florida,

the Republicans say they will
win in at least three. OF
course, the Democrats insist
that these Republican claims
of strength in the South are
all wrong. There seems little
doubt, however, that Demo-
Gratis supporting the national
Democratic ticket in the
South have been worried, as
evidenced by special confer
ences Of Southern Democratic
Governors to lay plans to
overcome the opposition to
the Kennedy-Johnson ticket.
Gone, apparently, are the days
when the Democrats could
count the South in their
pocket in any presidential
election. The Republicans
have by not means given up
in such States as Georgia and
Mississippi, which never failed
to go Democratic since Recon-
Struction Days Immediately
after the Civil War. Nor in
Louisiana, which gave its
electoral votes to Mr.. Eisen-
hover in 1856, nor in Ala
bama.
The II States of the for
mer Solid South have a total
of 1913 electoral votes. Many
of their leaders still stick to
Thomas Jefferson's ideas of
government, which run coun-
ter to the big centralized
government ideas of the
Northern liberal Democrats,
who strongly back Senator
Kennedy. Furthermore, there
have been population changes
in the South, just as in the
North, in the last decade.
And many of the voters have
become accustomed to voting
for a Republican for PreSi-
dent, though they still stick
to their old support of DEM
ocratic candidates for State,
congressional and local office,
And there are some South
erners who welcome the idea
of a strong two-party system
in their area, which for so
many years has been ruled
by one party-the Demo-
cratic.
1t would be an amazing
political development if the
South should settle a presi-
Dental election in favor OF
a Republican candidate.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

The dense atmosphere on Venus causes it to reflect light most beautifully, but it also obscures its surface, so that it is very diffi- cult to see any markings. From time to time, when Venus passes between the sun and ourselves, 1t approaches to within 25 million miles of the earth, and even less. This is about 10 million miles closer than Mars comes at its nearest approach. We can clearly see the surface of Mars, for its atmosphere is very thin, while the surface of Venus is almost completely hidden under thick, white clouds. At such time, Venus is also a slender crescent, while Mars shows full round face
 T he spectroscope, combined with observations made upon such surface markings, has enabled us to determine that Venus rotates so slowly upon its axis that one face is always turned toward the sun. The day on Venus must last forever, and its night side has one long night.

Record Employment In December Attributed To Ending of Steel Strike

WASHINGTON, R - Employ ment hit record 65,000,O00 for the month in December as the nations economy rebounded from the steel strike.
 Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell said the December em- ployment situation reflected a marked improvement from No vember with these results:
 Employment - Up 5000 to 65,699,0O0, a racord for the month. This was the first December since World War II that showed no job downturn. Usually the December drop runs around 100000.
 Unemployment - Down 93,000 to 3,577,000. The seasonally ad- iusted ratio of idle workers to the total work force declined from 5.6 per cent in November to 52 per cent in December. Nor mally unemployment increases by about 100000 in December.
 A modest decline in the over all labor force accounted for a decline in unemployment greater than the increase in employment.
 Seymour Wolfbein, Deputy As sistant Secretary of Labor, said the employment situation in De- cember climbed back to it's pre- strike levels with indications the improvement will continue as workers laid off because of steel shortages are recalled to their jobs.

Department Store Robber Blasts Attendants, Felled By Intrepid Customer


 PARAMUS, N J, R-A masked gunman killed a salesman and wounded two other employees Friday night when he bungled a holdup at a big department store and tried to shoot his way out.
 He was captured by the stores security officers after a plucky customer landed a blow on the gunman's head with a can of cleaning fluid.
 The gunman Edward Lehman, 30, was charged with murder and held without bail.
 Vaulting over the credit counter with a handkerchief tied across his nose and mouth, Lehman waved a pistol and said: ''This is a holdup. Nobody move"
 John Blanch, 49, credit man. ager, grappled with the bandit.
 The gunman fired. Blanch fell with bullets in the chest and shoulder.
 Leo Zaritsky, AT, a parttime salesman, rushed over. The gun man fired a single shot into Za- ritsky's head. The salesman died where he fell.
 Then a customer swung the can of cleaning fluid down hard on Lehman's skull. Security guards and other salesmen jumped on the bandit, knocked him to the floor and grabbed his half-empty Ger man automatic.

Bomb Label Sets Off Search At
 Florida Airport

TAMPA, Fla, RAA passenger carried a box of tangerines labeled Hbomb" aboard a Nation al Airlines plane Friday night and threw Tampa International Airport into a two-hour turmoil. The bomb scare delayed de- parture of the Tampa-New York flight. When the plane finally left, Emil c. Switzer, 46, of Me tuchen, N.J., was left behind for questioning by police and FBI agents. Switzer, a project engi- neer, boarded the four-engine plane carrying the box with the words "Tic, tic, tic, bomb" and q am a mad bomber" printed in bright red letters.
 A flight attendant spotted the package and called Flight Capt. Wes Raymond of Miami. Switzer was asked to leave the plane while the contents were checked. "I'm not a jokester," Switzer told the Associated Press. "It was the work of one of the come dians at the plant"
 Switzer was taken into GUS tody but released after two hours of questioning.
