MOON TO STAGE OWN BLACKOUT
| Astronomers Here to Hold
Open House at Time of Eclipse.
On the night of Aug. 25 there will be what Emsley W. Johnson, Indianapolis astronomer, laughingly refers to as a. “blackout.” It will cover the whole Western Hemisphere, but since both the allies and the enemy have known of this for some time, no tricks are expected to be pulled, Mr. Johnson said: Of course, this is just Astronomer Johnson's little joke. Begins at 8:02 P. M What he’s talking about is an eclipse of the moon. This is caused by the moon getting into the shadow of the earth. The moon is on one side of the earth and the sun the other, At 8:02 p m. a week from Tues-
day, the moon will enter what's called the penumbrs, (imperfect shadow of the earth) and 9:01 p. m. it will enter the true shadow, or umbra. By 10:01 p. m. the moon will be completely within the earth’s shad-
| ow, and though easily seen, it will
shine with a weird, coppery hue, Mr. Johnson says.
Lasts Hour and Half
This will continue until 11:35 o'clock, when the moon will start withdrawing from the shadow, and at 1:3¢ 2. m. it will be in the penumbra again. The total eclipse lasts 1 hour 34 minutes. This is rather. big news in the astronomy world, and so the Indiana Astronomical society will hold open house at its observatory on W. 73d st. (Delaware trail). Everyone is asked to bring their telescopes, field glasses and opera glasses.

“Good Immersion”
Not knowing how to fit them in otherwise, we'll pass along some more facts supplied by Mr. Johnson: 1. The diameter of the earth's shadow at the point where the moon will be Aug. 25 will be about 5860 miles, or about two and a half times the diameter of the moon.
2. The diameter of the moon is
2160 miles. ~ 3. The average distance of the earth's shadow is 857,000 miles. 4. On Aug. 25 the moon will be 229,784 miles from the earth and thus will get a good “immersion” of the earth’s shadow. 5.. The greatest distance the moon gets from the earth is 253,000
miles, but sometimes it comes as
near as 221,600.
It's the War-Tax Tokens Returned
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Aug. 14 (U, P.) —War-time conscience fund note: A New Yorker who evidently had heard of the zinc shortage took ‘three Missowri sales tax mill tokens back to his home. After reaching there, he must have learned that the state cannot continue making the mill pieces because of war metal needs. He spent three cents for a stamp, put the three mills in a letter and sent them to the state tax commission so they could be “put back in circulation.” The name on the letter could not be deciphered.
WPB ORDER HALTS ALL REA PROJECTS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 (U. P.) — The war production board yester=day ordered a halt in construction of ‘both public and private electric power and light projects unless they are specifically authorized by WPB. The order was aimed directly at 15 projects of the rural electrification administration which needed 400 tons of copper and 500 tons of steel for completion. The WPB previously had stopped construction on projects which were less than 40 per cent completed on Dec. 5 and REA Administrator Harry Slattery had advised REA borrowers on July 20 that construction was going to be stopped by WPB order and that Wey should Suspend “Work work.

India’ s Political Horizon Is Black: Basic Causes of Unrest Untouched
By A. T. STEELE
"opyright, 1942, by The Indianapolis Times d The Chicago Daily News, Inc.
BOMBAY, Aug. 14—The decline yf disorder under stern police supression in a few of India’s many rouble centers, including Bombay, as opened no ray of light Ne ndia’s black political horizon. The fundamental causes for the islocating upheaval in India are till untouched. There has been a ood of appeals from Indian oranizations and individuals for the British government to renew its efforts to seek a settlement with the Indian nationalists which would put an end to civil disobedience and enlist India in the united nations’ war effort. = The British position is Mr. Steele that, inasmuch as fohandas K. Gandhi has. thrown >wn the challenge of open revolt (ith full cognizance of the risks volved, the British cannot be exacted to take the initiative and open negotiations while under ‘essure of disorder and lawlessness. Reactions so far demonstrate 1at, while the majority of India’s >pulation would. heartily welcome 1y kind of honorable settlement stween the government and the l1-India nationalist congress, there | no weakening in the Widespread,
| Indian sentiment that the British
should make. bigger concessions to India’s yearning for freedom. : Among major minority parties
‘the powerful Moslem league has been unequivocal in its opposition to
the present movement. Others are straddling the issue. Even such organizations as the Hindu Mahasaba and the Indian Communist party, both of which had indicated their opposition to mass civil disobedience at this critical juncture, have issued statements
‘which criticize the government as
well as the congress. Considering the fact that the government had legalized the Communist party, this is surprising.
Mahasaba Sounds Warning
<The Hindu Mahasaba, the strongest strictly Hindu organization, while deploring , Gandhi's “quit India” resolution, at the same time sounds g warning through its President Uinayak Damodar Savarkar “that the only effective way to appease Indian discontent cannot but be an unequivocal declaration by . the British ‘ parliament to the effect that India is granted a political status of a completely free and equal partner in the IndoBritish commonwealth ‘equal to that of Great Britain herself and this should immediately be met
by investing India with actual po- |
litical power.” Savarkar advised his! followers neither to support nor oppose the congress policy.
These declarations set the tone for others from numerous Indian individuals and organizations. Even. C. R. Rdjagopalchari, the: Mac liberal who was forced out of high office in the congress because of his advocacy of a compromise Hindu-Moslem agreement, makes a bitter reply to the suggestion "of 3 Sir Frederick Whyte, former president of.the Indian legislature, that he serve as a bridge for IndoBritish agreement. .
Opposes Repression
Rajagopalichari said: “Indo-British political relationship must be put in order so that India may be protected against the axis. The congress decision on Saturday does not alter this. Repression does not carry us any distance toward this objective. It perhaps takes us in the contrary direction. . . . Despite this I believe a calm examination by British statesmen of the congress position will not be impossible or useless.” Though the eongress already has succeeded in sucking in a number of non-congress elements, its antiritish movement so far has failed notably to budge the Moslem league, representing the nation’s biggest minority and .its strong-willed President Mohammed M. A. Jipnah. This has been the source of considerable disappointment to congress sympathizers, who had hoped and still hope to"wean away a big section. of the Moslem population
| to their cause.
