Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
Having located Arcturus by fol
lowing the curvature of the Dipper
handle down towards the horizon,
it becomes easy to locate one of
the constellations called Bootes.
Some of the stars of Bootes form
a pentagon (five-sided figure)
which has been compared to a
kite. Arcturus is at the bottom of
the kite and is the brightest star
in the constellation.
The name of Bootes has come
down to us from ancient times. It
is mentioned in Homer’s “Odys
sey.”
Bootes represents a plowman
who is fond of plowing. Even a
plowman wants an occasional bit
of bear meat, so he has turned
loose two cosmic dogs who are
pursuing the “Great Bear,” or
the Dipper, about Polaris, the
North Star. For ages the dogs have
been running, but have never
been able to catch the bear by the
tail. Bootes, who is dreading the
bloody combat, is loking away
from the chase.
Case Records On 3 More
Ex-Treasury Officials Kept
After Red-Ties Reports
WASHINGTON, UK— Senate in
vestigators developed ca.se records
Thursday on three more former
Treasury Department employes
who were kept on and even pro
moted under the Truman admin
istration after FBI information
they had Communist ties was sent
to the White House and various
top officials.
Data from the Justice Depart
ment on V. Frank Cere, Solomon
Adler and Victor Perlo was read
into the record at a public hearing
by the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee.
All three were associates and
subordinates of the late Harry
Dexter White, who died in 1948,
and two other associates, Harold
Glasser and William Ludwig Ull
man.
Ullman, who left the govern
ment in 1947 and is now in the
construction business in New Jer
sey, was called as a witness Wed
nesday. He refused to answer
questions as to whether he had
engaged in espionage, pleading his
answers might incriminate him.

WASHINGTON, UP)— Sen. Mc
Carthy stuck to his guns in his
disagreement with the administra
tion on foreign policy, but said
any contention that he is challeng
ing President Eisenhower’s G.O.P.
leadership is “both ridiculous and
untrue.”
In a prepared statement, Mc
Carthy said “I will continue to
give my utmost support to the Re
publican Party now and in the
future” but he emphasized:
“This does not mean that I will
refrain from criticizing my party
when I think it is making mis
takes.”
He praised both Eisenhower and
Secretary of State Dulles in the
statement, but said he still thinks
this country should refuse dollar
aid to any allied nation “shipping
any goods to Communist China so
long as a single American re
mained in a Communist blood
stained dungeon.”
“On this matter, Secretary Dulles
and I are in complete disagree
ment,” McCarthy said.
“In a republic such as ours
there must be room for honest
difference of opinion. I respect the
honesty and sincerity of purpose
of Secretary Dulles. However, I
have such deep convictions on this
subject that I shall continue to
discuss the matter at every oppor
tunity and I urge Secrtary Dulles
to reappraise our whole policy in
this respect.”
McCarthy’s statement was a re
ply to the one-two punch thrown
at him by Eisenhower and Dulles
as a result of McCarthy’s radio
TV speech last week criticizing
administration foreign policy.
Dulles hit at McCarthy’s views
Tuesday as striking at the very
heart of United States foreign pol
icy. Wednesday, President Eisen
hower said he was in full accord
with Dulles’ statements.
Eisenhower also took issue with
the Wisconsin senator’s declara
tion that the Communists in gov
ernment issue will be a major one
in next year’s congressional elec
tion. McCarthy, in his statement,
repeated that Communists in gov
ernment will be an issue. In fact,
he declared, it will be “the most
important political issue for years
to come.”

Military Pay Boost '
As Defense Need
WASHINGTON, —A group of
generals and admirals called yes
terday for a military pay boost
and other actions to halt, what
they termed an alarming deterior
ation in the career military ser
vice.
“Military service has lost much
of its attractiveness as a career,”
said a study committee named by
Secretary of Defense Wilson last
spring at the direction of Presi
dent Eisenhower.
“Unless the present trend of
career personnel leaving the ser
vice can be reversed, most serious
consequences to the national de
fense effort will result.”
Asst. Secretary of Defense John
Hannah, in making public the re
port of the five-man committee,
said it would receive careful at
tention from the military services,
the Defense Department and the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hannah add
ed that release of the report im
plied neither its approval nor ac
ceptance in every respect.
A military pay and allowance
increase amounting to about 5.8
percent went into effect in April
1952. On the last day of the Tru
man administration, last Jan. 19,
the Defense Department askdd
Congress for an 8 percent increase
in military pay. The request was
not acted upon.
