ASTRONOMY NOTES |
By OLAF HALVERSON
Our solar system would be a
mere speck if placed in the con
stellation of Orion.
Betelgeuze, the red star in the
upper right shoulder, is really not
a member of the group, because
it is much closer to us. It is 200
| light years away, only one-third
| the distance of the other stars of
i Orion.
Betelgeuze has attracted uni
versal attention and is of histori
cal interest because it was the
first star whose diameter was
measured by an interferometer.
This instrument is used in meas
uring the diameters of the larger
stars.
The diameter of Betelgeuze is
250,000,000 miles. It is therefore
a supergiant ol the universe. Our
own sun is only 864,000 miles in
diameter. It would take 30 million
of our own suns to make a star
the size of Betelgeuze.
If it were to take the place of
our sun it would reach out to
Mars and our earth would be
beneath its surface.

Heintzleman'Vetoes Bill j
Requiring Alien Doctors
To Take Regular Oath
JUNEAU, (Jt— Gov. Heintzleman
vetoed his second bill of the legis
lative session Wednesday and the
Senate voted promptly to uphold
the veto.
It was a bill to allow alien doc
tors and tachnicians to work for
certain territorial departments
and to allow foreign teachers on
an exchange basis if they take
the regular oath.
It was the teacher oath clause
that drew the governor’s main
objection. He said it would be im
proper to require a teacher from
another country to take the oath
which requires swearing to “de
fend and support the Constitution
; of the United States,” along with
its non-Communist aspect.
I “In some foreign countries, the
i governor said, “it might be con
sidered an oath of allegiance to
| the United States and grounds for
! refusing re-admittance of the in
dividual to his native country.
“Actually, any non-citizen en
tering the United States is pres
ently required to subscribe to a
non-Communist oath before se
i curing a visa. It doesn’t seem to
i me any additional oath should be
required of a one-year exchange
“teacher.”

•Brutal Treatment’
Given Alaskans by
Appropriation Cut
WASHINGTON, Ufi—Delegate
Bartlett (D-Alaska* said Thursday
the “brutal treatment” accorded
Alaska in 1955-56 appropriation
proposals “illustrates again why
the overwhelming majority of Al
askans desperately want and need
statehood. . . .”
In a speech prepared for deliv
ery during House consideration of
the Interior Department appropri
ations bill, Bartlett declared:
“Alaskans have long realized
that only through statehood will
they be able to combat situations
of this kind on an equal footing
with their fellow Americans with
whom they share the expenses
and the res'ponsibilities of citizen
ship.”
He cited cuts of three million
dollars in requests for the Alaska
Road Commission and elimination
of the entire five million asked
for the Alaska public works pro
gram.
He said this eight million rep
resents nearly 29 percent of the
total appropriation for the Office
of Territories and compares with
a cut of only 15 million dollars
! for the entire interior bill, includ
ing territories.
“I think it would be had to
1 deny that this is brutal treatment
of what is merely a small part of
the Interior Department activi- .
ties,” he declared.
“The sudden drying up of ap
propriations for Alaska public
works,” he said, “if even for a
year, will be a shock to the Alas
ka economy and a heavy blow to
the Alaska building industry. A
sharp reduction, such as is pro
posed, in the Road Commission
funds will likewise harm the com
merce of the territory and retard
its development.”
Of Pups and Pets
PHILADELPHIA, I/?"*—A scfag
gly pup limped into the accident
ward of the Einstein Medical Cen
ter. An intern found a large splin
ter in one of the dog’s front paws
and removed it. The pup wagged
its tail and walked out.
