‘A-10 MILLIONS WATCH ECLIPSE OF MOON View in Washington Is Fre- quently Obscured by Cloud Formations. By the Associated Press. The moon, totally eclipsed by the earth, shone copper-colored from re- fracted rays last night and early today in a celestial spectacle that kept millions of Americans up past bedtime. The eclipse was the longest visible in this country in 50 years. There will not be another of such length for another half century. The phenomenon came With direct alignment of sun, earth and moon, the moon sliding through the earth's umbral cone, which extends 860,000 miles into space, at a point approxi- mately 226,000 miles away The moon touched the penumbra, in which part of the sun’s light is| cut off, at 9:15 p.m. Eastern stand- | ard time, and reached the umbra,| or totally dark shadow, at 10:12 p.m. By 11:09 it was in total eclipse, emerging from the other side of the thick cone an hour and 40 minutes later, and clearing the penumbra at | 2:35 am. The refracted rays from the sun, which gave the eclipsed moon a pale phosphorescent, copper color and made it still visible, were bent around and directed into the earth’s umbra by vaporous substances about the earth’s M surface. The Atlantic seaboard had Iavored‘ seats for the show, since the middle | of the eclipse was only slightly past | its meridian. Thick white clouds, | fleeting by in rapid formation, fre- | quently obscured the view in New York, Washington and many other sections of the country. BRITISH PRESS COOL TO NEW DEAL PLAN ‘Penunciation of Lloyd George's Program Follows Rejection by Cabinet. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July press poured cold water on the “New Deal” program of Lloyd George today | after the cabinet’s action in turning down the war-time prime minister's proposals for economic recovery. The Times asserted: “The present national debt is not so trivial that there would be any popular welcome for appointment of a board with the specific ‘duty of creating a new na- tional debt.” “Lloyd George has always beea a | spender,” said the Telegraph, report- ing the scheme was rejected because | it was not a businesslike proposition. The lone editorial voice in favor of the proposals came from the Lib- eral News-Chronicle, which described the program as a “challenge to com- placency which the government ean- not ignore.” Lloyd George has announced that he will put the plan before the country again at the forthcoming elections.
