Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
Venus is now the brilliant eve
ning star shining in the southern
sky soon after sunset. It is visible
from 3 to 5 p.m. It is a beautiful
planet and never exceeds 45 de
grees from the sun.
Perhaps you have noticed the
changing colors it has while ap
proaching the horizon. The density
of the earth’s atmosphere is con
stantly changing at a low level,
hence, when it is very dense, only
the red rays penetrate and the
planet appears reddish. A moment
later a thinner layer of air passes
by and the star takes on a lighter
color. The size and shape of the
planet is also distorted by the
constantly changing density of the
air close to the horizon.
Near her western elongation in
1887-88, Venus was thought by
many people to be the “Star of
Bethlehem.” In a dark sky her
radiance is almost dazzling.
W EATHER FORECAST
Continued fair tonight and Sat
urday. Little change in tempera
ture. Low temperature expected
tonight -5, high Saturday 5.
Nome data last 24 hours as of
7 a.m. today: High temperature 3,

2:44 p.m.
The body of L. D. Brown, who
passed away Wednesday, was
shipped to Anchorage for burial.
Florida Chosen As
Launching Site
For Earth Satellite
WASHINGTON, WV-Navy and
Air Force announced today that
the launching site for the earth
satellite project will be Patrick
Air Force Base, Cocoa, Fla.
The two services said the base
was selected “on the basis of
operational requirements for
large rocket launchings, and is
suitable to the scientific needs of
the program.”
The statement recalled a pre
vious announcement that test
firings of the components of the
satellite would be carried out
first, although exact launching
dates have not been determined.
It added that a complete “van
guard” satellite unit “will • be
launched after flight tests of the
components indicate that there is
a good chance of putting the
satellite into orbit.”
The satellite plan is to be part
of the International Geophysical
Year in 1957-58.

Communist Party
Biggies See Porgy
and Bess in Moscow
MOSCOW, lift—Performers in
Porgy and Bess all but got stage
fright Wednesday night when top
Soviet officials, including Commu
nist Party Chief Khrushchev, sud
denly appeared at the show. But
all went well and the visiting not
ables applauded vigorously during
curtain calls.
The cast of the George Gersh
win-DuBose Heyward opera had
no advance word that the officials
would show up until they saw
them file into their box at the
Stanislavsky Theater. The top
Kremlin brass skipped the open
ing the night before.
A hurried call was sent to pro
ducer-director Robert Breen, who
had gone off with his wife to see
a Bolshoi Theater production of
the Ballet Swan Lake. By the time
Breen returned, the official party
had left.
Khrushchev’s party included
Foreign Minitser Molotov, former
Premier Malenkov, and top offi
cials Kaganovich, Mikoyan, Per
vukhin, Suslov and Shepilov. Pre
mier Rulganin was not present.
Meanwhile, David Oistrakh, the
top Soviet violinist, returned to
Moscow from his concert tour of
the U,S. Moscow radio quoted him
thus:
“My one and a half months’
stay in the United States con
vinced me once more that the Am
erican people sincerely want peace
and friendship with the Soviet
Union.’’
Japanese Pulp Firm To
Bid For Timber Rights
In Alaska Forests
TOKYO, W)—Three officers of
the Alaskan Pulp Co., a Japanese
firm, will leave Tokyo for Juneau
Jan. 20 to bid on timber rights
in government forests in Alaska,
Kyodo News Service reported.
Kyodo said they will take part
in bidding for the timber rights
in forests, to be sponsored by
U.S. government authorities on
Jan. 25.
After the bidding, the men will
visit New York and Washington
to negotiate for loans.
The company hopes to build a
30 to 40 million dollar pulp mill
at Sitka. The company, which was
formed in August, 1953, already
operates a pulp and sawmill at
Juneau and a lumber mill in
Wrangell. All operations employ
U.S. workers. •
