State Senate
Restricts Pa.
Defense Bill
HARRISBURG, March 6 (4 1 P)—
The Senate tonight placed re
strictions on a proposal to give
communities of Pennsylvania un
limited powers to raise money
for local civil defense prepara
tions.
Although Democrats voted
for a Republican-proposed change
in Gov. John S. Fine's civil de
fense program, they claimed it
did not go far enough.
In another move on the civil
defense program the Senate by a
straight party vote of 30 Repub
licans and 20 Democrats refused
to return the bills to committee
for a public hearing.
The original plans•as passed by
the House would have authorized
municipalities to bypass routine
procedures in passing tax bills
for civil defense preparations.
These include advertising, read
ing of a tax ordinance on sepa
rate occasions and similar time
consuming formalities.
The new amendment however,
would permit the cutting of such
red tape only after the Governor
declares an emergency for the
particular area involved.

through the Jordan valley, the
Negev, and various Israle settle
ments and cultural institutions..
Dr. Edel met the Arab chieftan

the Arab village of Abugesh.
While in Israel he discussed
local conditions with Israel Pre
mier David Ben-Gurion, Foreign
Minister Moshe Sharett, and U.S.
Ambassador James G. McDonald.
The lecture is sponsored jointly
by the Penn State Hillel founda
tion, the Penn State Christian as

sell, head of the Department of

Partial Eclipse Of Sun
Scheduled For 5:10 p.m.
Acrobatics between 01' Sol and his companion Luna will produce
a, partial eclipse , at 5:10 p.m. today. About 15 percent of the ball i?
fire's' surface will be blacked out.
However, the sun will set before the ( partial eclipse is completed,
Dean Unger, publicity officer of Alpha Nu Astronomical society, said.
Eye Protection Unnecessary
Since the event occurs in this
region near sunset, eye protec
tion devices will not be necessary,
Unger said. Dust and haze in the
atmosphere should dim the sun's
light enough to permit naked-eye
observation.
Solar eclipses occur oftener
than the lunar type with a maxi
mum of five solar blackouts per
year possible. The event is pro
duced as the moon travels be
tween the earth and. the sun. The
path of a total eclipse of the sun
on the earth may traverse west
to east for several thousand miles.
The region under the cone"of
the shadow is the area of total
eclipse, and the longest duration
of complete obscuration in any
locality is eight minutes.
Moon Eclipses Rare
Total eclipses of they moon,
which occur as the earth moves
between its satellite and the sun,
are rarer than eclipses of the sun.
However," they are df longer dur
ation and are seen over a wider
area at the same time. The moon
is usually visible throughout the
proceedings.
In ancient Rome when people
thought of eclipses as omens of
disaster, laws were enacted to pro
hibit talking about thein in p11:1-
lie places. The celestial acrobatics
are produced on other planets,
and Jupiter with its many satel
lites has frequent displays.
A 92 percent blackout of the
sun is predicted for Sept. 1, Un
ger said. At that time, the event
will occur in the morning. •

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1951
By LEN KOLA.SINSKI
Prof Vies With
Book Reviewer
-Verbal fisticuffs graced the
Letters to the Editor department
of the March 3 issue of the Sat
urday Review ofr Literature. The
opponents were Dr. Robert T.
Oliver, author of "Why War Came
in Korea" and head of the Speech
department, and Arthur L. Grey,
reviewer of the book.
Grey, in his letter, said that
Oliver was not frank with his
readers because he is biased to
ward Korea. This bias is shown
by excluding from the book
blunders , on the part of Syng
man Rhee, president of the re
public, and his government Grey
maintains. The reviewer wrote
that Oliver's ommission of the
May elections, which some quar
ters felt were a repudiation of
Rhee's leadership, was another
instance of this 'bias.
•
Oliver in answer to the criti
cism Said the fact that he worked
on agencies of the Korean gov
ernment is "candidly and fully
avowed in the book.' His letter
continued that if candor is lack
ing "perhaps it - adheres in the
fact that this review was written
by a man who has a competing,
book with a strong bias contrary
to mine."
Grey said he could not support
leaders who are inept and short
sighted in carrying out reforms.
He expressed the opinion that ac
tive American support can curb_
Rhee's, power and reforms requir
ed-for political stability be made.
