Crowds Cheer
President’s Speech
In New York City
By the Associated Press
President Eisenhower said last
night “the compelling challenge
before the world is not the matter
of testing nuclear weapons—but
of making impossible their use in
a nuclear war.”
Thus, in a speech to a cheering
crowd packed into New York's
Madison Square Garden, did Eis
enhower reply once again to Ad
lai E. Stevenson’s ot't-repeated
proposal that the United States
take the lead in seeking world
agreement to end hydrogen bomb
tests.
Eisenhower got heavy applause
'When he told his listeners which
included those tuned ih on radio
and TV, that the United States
stands in “instant readiness to lay
aside all, nuclear weapons—in
cluding their testing—when, but
only when, we have safeguards
that others will do the same.”
The President also replied to
Stevenson’s contention that the
GOP administration has been
sterile on new ideas.
Eisenhower said that when the
Republicans came to power in
1953 they found what he de
scribed as “a number of old ideas
for whose energetic application
the American people had waited
all too long.” Among these he
listed reduction of federal spend
ing, taxes and unemployment.

HISTORICAL NOTE
A project deep in the history of
Alaska is construction of,a water
supply line and utilities for the
National Cemetery near Sitka, to
be completed by Jan. 30, 1957.
This is the first national ceme
tery built west of the Mississippi
River. It lies near the area where
the Russian trader, Alexander
Baranof, established the settle
ment of Redoubt Archangel Ga
briel in 1799, more than a half
century before the United States
purchased Alaska from Russia.
Seventy-seven graves are in the
historic plot.
Friendship is the marriage of
the soul; and this marriage is
subject to divorce.—Voltaire
Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
Two more planets are now
shining brightly in the sky. The j
only requirement to observe them J
is to be up at 6 a.m. The reason
for this is that both of these
planets are, at the present time,
morning stars—that is, they are
visible only a short time before
sunrise in the easten sky.
The brightest of the two is
Jupiter, largest of all planets. Its
equatorial diameter of 88,640
miles is 11 times greater than
that of the earth. The mass of
Jupiter exceeds that of all the
other planets combined. Even a
small telescope shows its four
bright satellites and dark c^ud
belts clearly. Jupiter has 12
known satellites, the greatest
number attending any planet.
Venus is the other planet visi
ble in the morning and is very
close to Jupiter. The nearness of
the two now makes it easy to
find both. Venus is a little dim
mer than Jupiter.
Snowblindness is actually sun
burn of the eyes.
