Million For Construction

WASHINGTON, (tf) — Congress
has been asked to earmark three
million dollars for continued con

River highway.

access from Cordova’s all-year
port to inland military bases.

Radio Noises Audible Now
Of Galaxy Collisions Over
100 Million Years Ago
FAIRBANKS, — A scientist
told a University of Alaska com
mencement audience Monday of
astronomers observing the colli
sion of galaxies, or star systems,
through the medium of radio pick
ups.
Dr. Merle A. Tuve of Washing
ton, D.C., said the collision was
in progress 100 million years ago
and radio noises of the clash has
been coming toward the earth at
the speed of light ever since.
He said each of the distant ga
laxies was the size of the Milky
Way.
Dr. Tuve described how the new
field of radio astronomy has en
abled Mt. Palomar astronomers to
locate distant stars and nebulae.
Hydrogen radiation from gas
clouds in “our our Milky Way”
come in at 1421 megacycles, he
said, and sun spots also emit radio
manifestations.
Radio emissions, he said, are
enabling scientists to observe the
Crab Nebula, which is the ex
panding remnant of a star which
was seen to flare up bright as the
planet Venus in the year 1054—
a year short of nine centuries ago.
He said the nebula now is giving
out strong radio emissions.
Ernest N. Patty, Seattle and Al
aska mining man and former dean
of the University School, of Mines,
called on the graduates to be bold
in their thinking and planning
and cited progress resulting from
imaginative thinking.
Thirty-nine students received
degrees.
