Modern astronomy brings us an! entirely different picture. Orion is ino longer a bright picture of the mighty hunter but an agglomera- tion of stars whose distances to us vary greatly. For example, Rigel at Orion’s left knee is about 570 light years from us and around twenty-one thousand times as ‘bright as our sun, while, Sirius in Canis Major, the most brilliant star in our Northern Sky is only 8% light years away. The red giant Betelgeuse marking Orion’s right shoulder is much larger yet about three hundred million miles in dia- meter. The nebula in the hunter’s belt is almost a perfect vacuum while Sirius’s companion, a white dwarf, is so dense that a baseball there would weigh many tons. Hunting for our ancestors was a necessity, their very existence de- pended on their strength, courage and skill, Today the security of civilization has made that type of hunting , obsolete. The development of man’s intelligence demands of him another type of Ihuntig, a type just as vital to him as the destruction of wild ani- mals was to his ancestors; the hunting for knowledge, for more |hunting field, and the sky is truly ithe limit, Expecially here in Key} West, not only are all the stars of the northern hemisphere visible but also more stars from the southern hemisphere can be seen than from | any other point in the U.

MID-PACIFIC TESTS (Continued From Page One) nues to new and improved weap- poaay Testing of standard atomic fis- sion explosions needed to trigger an H-bomb presumably were in- cluded in those tests, It also was reported unofficially at that time that AEC had begun large-scale production of materials for H-bombs. And the July AEC report not that its Pacific proving grounds} were being enlarged with the re opening of the Bikini Atoll, 18) miles east of Eniwetok, where most recent A-bemb tests in that area have been held, The Bikini island cluster was used last for the 1946 experiments with naval vessels, AEC’s announcement last night did not say whether the upcoming tests would involve Eniwetok, Bi- kini—or both. There have been reports that an entire island vanished at Eniwe- tok during a 1952 test detonation of a relatively small bydrogen device. These reports have gone unchallenged by. AEC, What may-happen df a force equivalent to two million tons of TNT is unleashed? Some experts think it possible that several islands fringing the '20-mile-wide Bikini lagoon could be atomized, The results of such a blast would probably have to be recorded on intricate measuring instruments, many of them of automatic .radio sending design, while observers stayed far away, Test structures, such as those used during the 1946 blasts of two A-bombs at Bikini, probably would be unable to survive an H-bomb| explosion, The AEC’s latest announcement came just three days before pre- liminary talks between Secretary of State Dulles and Soviet Am- bassador Georgi N. Zarubin on President Eisenhower’s proposal to pool some of the world’s atomic materials and information for peaceful purposes, : ACTRESS SUES SANTA MONICA, Calif, w—!| Movie actress Jane Wyman. has| sued for divorce from Frederick| M.

Gen. Taylor said in a press con- ference the 7,500 North Korean prisoners “presumably will be giv- en- the opportunity of joining the Republic of Korea army.” He said the Chinese captives, some 14,000, will be transported aboard U. N. ships to the Nationalist island of Formosa. Taylor declared he did not know the Chiang Kai-shek gov- ’s plans for the prisoners, Meanwhile, South Korea’s For- eign Minister Pyun Yung Tai said he cannot .retract threats to use armed force against Indian guards. Pyun said a retraction “would create an impression that this gov- ernment has completely reversed its position and pledged itself not ‘to try to do anything for the protec- tion of our nationals, no matter what new developments might ‘threaten their freedom and safety in the future.” ; Taylor had warned Pyun earlier that he would use his troops to pro- tect the Indians should South Ko- Tea invade the neutral zone. Meanwhile, a hint that South Ko- rea had backed down on its threats to use force came from Kim Chang Hung, national police deputy di- rector. Kim said a government plan to mobilize police to aid anti-Red POWs had been dropped. “We had | such a plan earlier, but we do not | have it now,” he said, COIFFURE DESIGNERS the J.
