ris by clapping his hands.
She said later she couldn’t re
member what happened during
the 20 seconds. When a ‘reporter
asked if she felt sorry about los
ing, she cheerfully replied: “I
never had it to lose.”
Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
During the past week the moon
has been displaying a beautiful
phenomenon called the Hunter’s
Moon. It is characterized by the
enlarged apparent size of the
moon when full and on the east
ern horizon. A similar appearance
a month ago has been given the
name of Harvest Moon.
The moon’s eastward movement
among the stars is about 13 de
grees every day. Our ordinary
time is derived from the sun,
which is not stationary among the
stars but also moves eastward
every day about twice its own
width or one degree. Therefore
the eastward gain of the moon on
the sun is twelve degrees.
If the moon is on the horizon
at seven o’clock on one evening,
it will be 12 degrees below the
horizon on the following evening.
This causes the moon to rise about
50 minutes later each day.
However, at this season of the
year, because the orbit of the
moon is greatly inclined and
makes a small angle with the hor
izon,* it appears early and en
larged.

Montana Senator
Opposes D’Ewart
For Interior Post
WASHINGTON, (A*—Sen. Mur
ray (D-Mont) said Saturday if
President Eisenhower nominates
Wesley A. D’Ewart to be Asst.
Secretary of Interior he will seek
a formal Senate rejection of the
nomination.
Murray outlined through his
office here his strategy which
could lead to a political hassle in
the Senate next year. He is chair
man of the Senate Interior Com
mittee which passes on Interior
Department nominations.
The Senate hasn’t formally
turned down a presidential nom
ination since 1951 when, a check
showed, former President Truman
was so rebuffed on three separate
• occasions. However, some Eisen
hower nominations have been left
to die through Senate inaction and
others have been withdrawn after
strong opposition to them mater
ialized.
D’Ewart, a former Republican
congressman Who ran unsuccess
fully against Murray in last
year’s bitter Montana senatorial
election contest, was sworn in as
assistant secretary two days ago
under a recess appointment. The
names of recess appointees are
usually sent to the Senate for
confirmation when the Senate re
convenes.
D’Ewart told a newsman he had
no comment on Murray’s remarks.
Murray disclosed he is already
| planning hearings in anticipation
of D’Ewart’s nomination. They
may include a full review of what
the senator called a Republican
effort to pin the “Red” label on
liim during the 1954 election cam
paign.
Murray said persons who work
ed for D’Ewart’s election would
be questioned on D’Ewart’s role,
if any, in distribution of such lit
erature as a pamphlet entitled
“Senator Murray and the Red
web over Congress,” put out by
the Montana For D’Ewart Com
mittee.
