ASTRONOMY NOTES j
By OLAF HALVERSON
A comet, in olden times, was
an object of terror and dread.
People thought it was an omen
of pestilence and war. Josephus
tells us that the destruction of
Jerusalem in 60 A.D. was caused
by the sword-shaped comet which
pierced the heavens above the
city.
A story is sometimes told of the
great consternation caused in
Europe in 1456 at the appearance
of Halley’s Comet. Halley’s Com
et has always been an exciting
comet. The last time it appeared
in 1910, the earth passed through
its beautiful, highly diffused tail.
The experience was of great in
terest to astronomers, but most
people were unaware of it.
In 1680, Halley, an English as
tronomer and mathematician, was
the first to observe this great
comet. He later made observa
tions with Cassini at Paris, where
he observed its appearance with
great care, and painstakingly
computed the elements of its or
bit. He predicted that it would
return at regular intervals of 75
years.

Some Lower Prices Bring
January Living Cost Down
WASHINGTON, (JPl — Lower
prices for clothing, new cars, eggs
and most meats brought a slight
decline in living costs in Jan
uary.
It was the second straight
monthly dip in the government’s
livng cost index.
Even so, the index is still just
a little under its record high.
And, although down from De
cember, the January living cost
level was a record high for a
January.
The Labor Department re
ported yesterday the index
dropped one-tenth of one per cent
in January to 125.4 per cent of
the 1947-49 base period. Tris is
the lowest living cost level since
September, but it is 1.3 per cent
above a year earlier.
The slight change will affect
wages of various workers whose
union contracts provide for wage
adjustments geared to the index.
Wages of about 60,000 workers
in aircraft and farm machinery in
dustries will be reduced, in most
cases by one cent an hour.
About 14,000 trucking industry
workers will receive a one per
cent hour raise on a different
adjustment basis.
The Labor Departmest also re
ported that spendable earnings
of factory workers remained at
a record high in January. This is
contrary to the seasonal tendency.

An international harp contest
took place recently in Jerusalem.
During the program, an excursion
was made to King David’s tomb
on Mount Zion. King David was
one of the great harp players of
history. There the expedition was
met by Mrs. S. Cahane, Director
General of the Ministry of Re
ligious Affairs, and four rabbis,
with flowing gray beards, who
sounded shofars (ram’s horns) as
the harpists approached.
Another great program of harp
music is soon to strike history’s
horizon — the greatest of all time.
It is scheduled to come at the
return of the Lord Jesus. . . .
“And I looked, and lo, a Lamb
stood on the Mount Zion . . . and
I heard the voice of harpists play
ing with their harps: And they
sang a new song. . . .” (Revelation
15:1-3.)

Eisenhower Hailed
Wildly at ‘Chicago
Of Brazil’
By STANFORD BRADSHAW
SAO PAULO, Brazil, UP)—Pres
sident Eisenhower doffed his gray
felt hat and rode bareheaded in
a heavy rain Thursday to acknowl
ege the cheers of a half million
or more fans in this industrial
heart of Brazil. Confetti and
ticker tape drenched streets.
Later at a luncheon Eisenhower
extolled the free - enterprise sys
tem and pledged continued U.S.
support for Brazil’s economic de
velopment.
Opportunity without discrimin
ation is a vital aspect of demo
cracy in both Brazil and the
United States, he said, and free
dom in the long run yields the
most productive system ever de
vised toy man.
Eisenhower pledged that “with
in our financial and economic
capacity, we shall continue to
support Brazilan development.”
Brazil has received more than
2U> billion dollars in U.S. public
and private credits.
Brazilians danced, jumped and
shouted in the rain in their en
thusiasm over Eisenhower’s visit.
The temperature was 70.
There was no police estimate
of the crowd’s size, but the best
guesses ran to at least half a mil
lion. There were probably not so
many as welcomed Eisenhower in
Rio De Janiero Wednesday, but
the Paulistas made up for this in
enthusiasm.
Eisenhower flew from Rio De
Janiero under overcast skies to
spend 6V£ hours in this Brazilian
Chicago, 220 miles southwest of
Rio. He was reported standing up
well under the heat and humid
weather he has encountered since
he began his Latin-American visit
in Puerto Rico Monday.
