Rare Astronomical Drama
As Mercury Crosses Sun
NEW YORK,- 0PV— The planet
Mercury moved across the sun
Saturday in a rare astronomical
drama last seen in its entirety
from the United States in 1894.
The event, known as the “trans
it of Mercury,” occurs with Mer
cury passing directly between the
earth and the sun in essentially
the same manner as the moon does
in an eclipse of the sun.
Mercury, the smallest planet in
the solar system, is too small for
the naked eye to see it against the
blazing sun.
For those using telescopes, it
appeared as a tiny black dot.
The transit will next occur on
Nov. 6, 1960.

No Spies Among
Suspended Signal
Corps Workers
WASHINGTON, M — Secretary
of the Army Robert T. Stevens
told a news conference Friday
there were no suspected spies
among the 33 workers suspended
on loyalty charges at the Signal
Corps center at Fort Monmouth,
New Jersey.
Stevens also said that so far as he
could determine no secrets passed
from the radar laboratory to Iron •
Curtain nations in recent years.
The secretary declared he did
think espionage had occurred dur
ing World War II at the installa
tion—at the time Julius Rosen
berg, executed as an atomic spy
last summer, visited it.
Stevens said several of the 33
civilians suspended at Ft. Mon
mouth have already been reinsta
ted and all others will be given a
fair hearing before a loyalty board
composed of Navy and Air Force
civilian and military officials.
The secretary said the suspen
sions involved charges that ranged
from light to serious. He said all
of them involved reports concern
ing loyalty, as distinct from secur
ity. Security, as used officially, is
a broad term applying to personal
activities, such as heavy drinking,
which are considered to make a
person a risk without necessarily
bringing his motives into question.
