Weather Halts Air Search
Along Alcan Highway
EDMONTON, UP) — Poor flying
weather Wednesday hindered the
hunt for a single-engined Cessna
172 aircraft missing since Mon
day along the Alaska Highway
north of Whitehorse.
The aircraft, piloted by Ralph
Kolsrud of Pacific Palisades,
Calif., disappeared on a 350-mile
flight from Northway, Alaska, to
Whitehorse.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The planet which is so beautiful
in the eastern morning sky is
Venus. This planet is startlingly
bright every clear morning. It is
so brilliant that it is even visible
after sunrise.
Because Venus is sometimes a
Morning Star and at other time
an Evening Star, the ancient
Greeks believed them to be two
different stars. They called the
Morning Star “Phospherus,” the
torchbearer who lights the way
for the dawn. They called the
Evening Star “Hesperus,” the
leader of the stars of night.
These names were translated
into Latin, which was Lucifer and
Vesper. The Morning Star was
the son of Aurora and the Even
ing Star a brother of the Titan
Atlas. Pythagorus is said to have
been the first to identify Hes
perus and Phospherus.
Venus follows the sun so closely
that it never gets 48 degrees be
yond it.

Eisenhower Asks Indian Parliament
To Join U.S. in Stemming Propaganda
NEW DELHI, India, Of) — Pres
ident Eisenhower reminded India
that weakness in arms invites ag
gression, and said a strong United
States is ready to come to the aid
of its friends.
He told the Indian Parliament
the United States is committed to
a search for genuine disarmament
but is maintaining strong forces
against aggression.
“They serve not only for our
self but our friends and allies,
who, like us, have perceived this
danger. They so serve for defen
sive purposes only,” he said.
The members of Parliament ap
plauded frequnetly. But there was
not a sound when the President
spoke of the fruits of weakness.
With the threats of Red China in
mind, it was possible they were
shaken by his remarks.
Eisenhower spoke to a joint
meeting of the Indian Parliament,
which for weeks has been discuss
ing what attitude India should
take toward China. This week it
upheld Prime Minister Nehru’s
policy, which is a go-slow attitude
of firmness and preparedness.
Eisenhower got his biggest hand
when, his voice rising strongly,
he declared:
“In the name of humanity can
we not join in a 5-year or 50-year
plan against mistrust and mis
givings and fixation on the wrongs

of the past? Can we not apply our
selves to the removal or reduction
of the causes of tension that exist
in the world?
“All these are creations of gov
ernment, cherished and nourished
by governments. Nations would
never feel them if they were giv
en freedom from propaganda and
pressure.”
The President declared the
United States is committed to a
ceaseless search for disarmament
and that “controlled universal
disarmament is the imperative of
our time.”
But, he said, “weakness in arms
often invites aggression or sub
version or externally manipulated
revolution.”
Exhilarated by the colossal
welcome in New Delhi, the Pres
ident appeared chipper as he be
gan the rounds of a crowded day,
that started with a wreath laying
and planting in honor of Mohandas
K. Gandhi.
