CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 21.—An eclipse seven quadrillion miles distant, 75 million times as far away as the sun, was studied today by astron- omers who hoped to gain secrets of the structure of the gaseous atmospheres of the stars. Harvard University astronomers re- vealed that observers throughout the world are interested in the eclipse, in which a blue-white star passes behind a red giant star. The pair constitute what is known as a double star, named Zeta Aurigae. Each of the stars is itself a sun, big- ger and heavier than our own sun, Harvard astronomers explained, but the red giant has a diamter 10 times as large as its smaller blue-white companion. The two suns swing in a plane which brings them alternately between each other and the earth in a series of eclipses in periods of two and two- thirds years. So close together are they, and so. far away, that they ap- pear to be a single star even in the most powerful telescopes.

Carmichael, vice president and the general manager of General Motors of Canada, Ltd The committee was the same one the premier received yesterday after- noon, Thompson said. The premier, after talking to the Associated Press Staff Correspondent MADRID, April 21.—The tenth day of incessant insurgent shellfire rolled up a total of 150 dead within Madrid today and forced a grave test of the |city’s fatalism under nearly a haif | | year of siege. It was the worst of all | | Madrid’s shellings. Thirty-two bodies were hauled to | morgues this evening, the grim harvest of today’s insurgent cannonade from the besiegers’ gun emplacements in the city's suburbs. | | At least 100 more were injured to- | day, a third of them gravely. The fa- | talities made the toll approximately | 150 for the 10 days of bombardment. | 250 Shells Hurled Into City. The newest phase of the bombard- ment began before dawn and lasted, with the briefest of lulls, all day. Something like 250 shells were poured | into this city of a million people; Madrid’s Gran Via, her “Broadway,” was made a major front of war. As this was being telephoned, big shells were falling, one every two or three minutes, in the Gran Via., I saw one strike a street car. A woman with shattered legs was pulled out. Fourteen other passengers were wound- ed, in all. The ones who were not hurt ran pell-mell for a subway entrance. One man lay in a gutter. From where I watched—in the big telephone build- ing—he seemed badly hurt. He drag- ged himself toward us. Suddenly he jumped up and ran. Glass Flies From Windows. A little boy fell in the street. An auto hustled him away. Other autos tried to speed by, but militiamen, waving their pistols, halted them and drafted them as ambulances. Glass flew about us from our own windows in the “Telefonica.” Every shell hit brought the sickening roar of falling debris. Subways and base- ments were jammed—they had been jammed for hours by refugees, afraid to go home. Some of the shells hit high in the buildings, others fell square in the streets, spraying shrapnel, sending up showers of stone and plaster. It seemed as if downtown Madrid was being literally destroyed before our eyes. In the basement of the “Telefonica,” doctors and nurses worked breath- lessly over the wounded. Militiamen, (S8ee MADRID, PaPge A-5.) illion Miles Off Data on Gases Mrs. Cecilia Payne Gaposchkin and Dr. Willam A. Calder, Harvard astronomers, said the eclipse makes possible almost the only study of the atmosphere of a star, except for ob- servations of the atmosphere of our own sun during total eclipses. Such a study can be made, Mrs. Gaposchkin explained, because the red giant has one of the largest known wtmospheres, almost as deep as the core of the star itself. As the blue-white star moves toward eclipse behind its gigantic red companion, its light begins to pass through the turbulent, hot gases that form the red star’s enormous atmos- phere. The quality of the light from the blue-white star then begins to change, due to the filtering effects of these gases, Dr, Calder and Mrs. Gaposch- kin explained. Such an effect was first noted a few days ago by Prof. D. B. McLaughlin of the University of Michigan. As the blue-white star moves farther behind the atmosphere of the red giant the changes in its light become more pronounced—just as the light of our sun is changed by passing through the dense atmosphere close to the | Representative Sacks, commitee, said he was confident a ma- jority of the 3,700 strikers were ready to go back to work and abandon the John L.

Speaker Bankhead indicated the leaders were ready to put on the pressure to block all bills—except those of the utmost importance— which would authorize extra appro- priations.

They just roost in a tree or on a fence, and may become land- lubbers yet.” The agriculture expert said he got on .the right track when he heard of the Mormons' famous monument The gulls’ interest in the beetles was discovered by Francis A.

The jurist called attention to news- paper and administration comments on tardy justice and said: “This is a very poor example on the part of the Government. The Government of the United States should be prepared to set an example and assist in speedy Justice.” The case involved a suit by several Bayonne, N. J. property owners to enjoin a $4,000,000 P. W. A. loan to the city of Bayonne for a ship-to-rail terminal about two miles off shore in New York Bay. The plaintiffs contend private busi- ness enterprises would be the princi- pal beneficiaries of the project, which, they said, was in no sense a public work. They also argued in their auit that a substantial tax increase on Bayonne residents would result.
