Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
In the clear air of Flagstaff,
Ariz., Dr. Lowell studied the
■planet Mars for many years. The
observatory was equipped splen
didly and was located 7,000 feet
above sea level.
He maintained that each canal
marked the route of a waterway,
and that the visible mark is not
the canal itself but a broad band
of vegetation irrigated from a
narrow channel. He studied and
mapped 522 of these canals, 56 cf
which were double. He also
mapped the lakes, which he called
oases.
Mars is fast approaching a des
ert condition and there is a great
scarcity of water. The only reli
able source of supply comes from
the melting snows at the polar
caps. With the advance of spring
the white caps begin to recede.
The water thus formed then flows
away from the poles and collects
in the greenish areas and from
there is led into the canals. These
canals do not begin to appear un
til the snows begin to melt.

FORMER NOMEITES VISIT
Mr. and Mrs. Ray McGinnis
were visitors here this week from
Anchorage. Mrs. McGinnis will
■be remembered having been in
the Polar Curio Shop for some
time.
Also a visitor was Mel Joliffe,
who was retired from the Alaska
Road Commission here two years
ago.
’unteers broke off their rescue op
erations early yesterday in the
shattered ruins of a collapsed
building, leaving at least six men
presumed dead in wreckage that
already has yielded four bodies.
The task of uncovering tangled
tons of concrete and steel which
buried the victims will .resume
after tottering walls that threaten
rescuers have been knocked down.
A construction superintendent
directing the rescue work said at
least six men are still in the
wreckage and all are presumed
dead.
Fifteen others were injured
Wednesday when the half-com
pleted office building of the Con
sumers Power Co. collapsed with
a roar like the sound of an ex
ploding bomb.
The four-story, poured concrete
structure had been designed to
withstand the shock of an A-bomb
blast.
The workmen fell screaming to
their deaths amid steel girders
and chunks of concrete that
crashed thru all four floors of
the structure.

At Jackson, Mississippi, the
southern city of the same name,
13 men were injured Wednesday

as workmen were pouring and
smoothing cement in steel forms.
The workmen were plunged 20

Eisenhower May
Further Broaden
Political Activities
By the Associated Press
There were indications today
that President Eisenhower may
be planning to broaden his poli
tical activities still further in the
remaining month of the pre-elec
tion battle.
In Washington, the White House
announced yesterday that Eisen
hower will spend an extra day in
the Pacific Northwest and that he
may widen his electioneering ac
tivity in the Pittsburgh area next
week.
This, coupled with the news
last week that Eisenhower plans
several more major speeches than
first contemplated, presented the
picture of gradually increasing
participation by the President in
the campaign for his re-election.
James C. Hagerty, Eisenhower’s
press secretary, said revised plans
for the President’s mid-month
swing into Minnesota, Washing
ton and Oregon call for him to
spend an extra day in Seattle.
As now projected, Eisenhower’s
itinerary will take him to Minne
apolis and St. Paul and then to
Seattle on Oct. 16 instead of the
next day. He is billed for a speech
in Seattle on the night of Oct. 18
and a major address from Port
land, Ore., the following night.
Eisenhower is scheduled to
make a major talk in Pittsburgh
next Tuesday, and Hagerty said
this still would be a one-day af
fair.
Republican politicians believe
in the effectiveness of this kind
of campaigning by Eisenhower.
Vice President Nixon, who con
ferred with the President yester
day, reportedly wants Eisenhower
to visit as many places as possible
between now and Election Day,
November 6.
The American Plains Indian
was a stone-age man before the
coming of the white man.
