TINYPLANET’S VISIT GREETED BY SCIENTISTS Small Asteroid Is Center of Attention at Observatories. BY HENRY MINOTT United Pres* Staff Correanendent CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 30. Mother earth had a tiny visitor in her celestial back yard today—the minor planet Eros—and astronomers the world over welcomed It as warmly as was possible 16,200,000 miles away. It was Eros’ closest approach to earth since the asteroid's discovery in 1898 and Harvard sky gazers, in common with their fellows in many lands, set about the delicate task of inspecting the visitor through powerful telescopes. That astronomers were confronted with a rare opportunity to observe the diminutive body was apparent from the fact that Eror, sometimes separated from the eartn by 70,000,000 miles, will not makj another close approach until 19 7 S. But the fun of getting a “closeup” glimpse of the minor planet was to be reserved for professional star gazers, for it was pointed out that while the layman, using a small telescope, could see Eros low in the northeastern sky tonight, he probably would be unable to distinguish it from the myriad stars. How Eros lwoks as seen through Harvard observatory’s fifteen-inch telescope, capable of magnifying an object 1,000 times, was described to the United Press today by Leon Campbell, Harvard astronomer and recording secretary of the American Association of Variable Star Observers. “Eros, through a powerful tele-

scope, appears to be about as bright as Neptune, which, of course, is really brighter, but which is nearly three billion miles from earth,” Campbell said. “Eros has mot-on, and that makes It possible to distinguish it from the fixed stars. “There are approximately 1,150 asteroids such as Eros, that being among the smallest, but what makes Eros so interesting is that it comes closer to earth than any othqp celestial body except the moon and meteors. “We have been studying Eros at Harvard university for three months, and will continue our studies for about two months longer. It probably will be a year, however, before definite conclusions are drawn from our observations.” What astronomers hoped to establish by observing Eros at close range, he said, was the mean distance between the earth and the sun, now estimated at 93,000,000 miles. The weight of the moon also probably would be determined more closely as result of the studies, Campbell said. Tonight, with Eros at its nearest approach to earth, Campbell declared he would make perhaps the most important of his observations, with a photographer to make permanent records of the minor planet.

MONTGOMERY Someone waved a flag at the Miami hangar of the Pan-American Airways, my pilot opened the throLtle of his airplane and I was away on an air trip that would total 20,000 miles. Almost before I realized it the Florida Keys were tiny specks below me and we were heading out over the gulf stream toward Havana. The plane carried eight passengers and rode as easily as a Pullman coach. When we nosed out from the Keys the weather became rough. Several squalls appeared, but we

dodged them. We flew at about 3,000 feet. It seems little or no time before the pilot sent back a note to us that he had sighted the Cuban shore. Almost before we could digest the note’s content* *e were flying over historic Morro castle, which after 350 years is being used as a boys’ military college. The streets of Havana are literally flooded with men, women and children selling lottery tickets. The government operates the lotteries and a drawing is held every ten days. Over 27.000 tickets are often sold for each drawing. There won't be any “Land of Manana” soon. With airplanes making transportation so rapid be-

tween Central, South America, Cuba a*nd the United States, merchants are getting over the ancic.v custom of the tropics of putting off things until tomorrow. Our plane took off right on the dot for San Julian the next morning. It was the last refueling place before we flew over the Yucatan channel. It took little or no time to make the hop to San Julian field and mechanics swarmed over the Sikorsky amphibian as soon as the wheels stopped rolling. Within an hour we were in the air again and headed out over the Yucatan channel. The crossing took us thirty-five minutes through a cloudless sky.
