Hoosier Skies byJ.P. Mutschlecner Indiana University Astronomy Department Frequently in this column we have mentioned the possibility of seeing a meteor shower in a particular month. But, as most of our readers probably know, you don't have to look at the sky at the time of a meteor shower to see meteors. Any clear night, especially in the dark of the moon, one can see random meteors. In fact, on the average there are between four and eight meteors per hour which can be seen from a given location. If one considers how many fall through the earth’s atmosphere all over the world, the best estimates are some tens of millions per day. Os course, most of the meteors we see are no larger than a grain of sand. When these tiny particles intercept the earth's atmosphere at an altitude of 40 to 60 miles, they suddenly are heated to incandescence and produce the dramatic flash of light some call a “shooting star." For most meteors this marks the end of their life since they are completely burned. If a meteor is sufficiently large, however, a portion may survive the trip through the atmosphere and land on earth. It then becomes a meteorite. Numerous meteorites have been found through the years, ranging from tiny particles to one discovered in Southwest Africa that weighed about 50 tons. Even larger meteorites in prehistoric times have caused gigantic craters on earth, such as the one near Winslow, Ariz. One can buy small pebble-sized meteorites and have his own sample of a celestial visitor, but the larger meteorites are rare and usually seen only in museums. It was in 1803 that it was proven that meteorites are, in fact, meteors which have reached the earth. It is reported that upon hearing this idea Thomas Jefferson said, "I could more easily believe that two Yankee professors would lie than that stones would fall from heaven.” When you think of it, “rocks" falling from the sky does seem unlikely, but that’s how nature does it! Incidentally, there isn’t much danger of getting thumped by a meteorite. In modern times there are records of a cow getting killed by a meteorite and of a Japanese girl receiving a slight burn on her neck from one. In a museum one can see the evidence that a meteor crashed through a garage roof, ripped into the car below and finally lodged in the car’s seat. Fortunately no one was sitting there. This month Mercury will be visible in the latter part of the month as a “morning star” rising about one hour before the sun. Venus sets about two hours after the sun throughout the month. Mars, low in the south in the constellation Sagittaius, rises about two hours before the sun. Jupiter sets only two hours after the sun now and so can be seen only briefly in the southwest. Finally, Saturn, in the constellation Gemini, is seen to the south at midevening.

FARM CENSUS TIME AGAIN f armers and ranchers throughout the United States are being asked to report bn their agricultural operations during 1974. The 1974 Census of Agriculture is the 20th nationwide farm census since the first o|e in 1840. Report forms are mailed out in January and the Bureau of the Census would like to have them filled out and mailed back promptly. All information is confidential by law. The results, published only in statistical form, provide the yardstick by which American agricultural advancement is measured every five years. No information can be released which might reveal the operation of an individual farmer or rancher.

Congressional Corner

By Congressman John Brademas Debate on the crucial issues of economy and energy continued to dominate the Nation’s Capitol this past week. The House moved swiftly ahead on an antirecession tax cut bill and stepped up work on formulating short and long range energy conservation policies. On the same day that the White House complained about Congressional inactivity, the House Ways and Means Committee reported a bill which would provide tax rebates and tax cuts for low and moderate income families and an increase in the investment tax credit for business. The Ways and Means Committee bill, which is expected to be voted on by the House in the last week of February—three weeks ahead of schedule—would provide a total of $20.2 billion in tax relief. Most of the cuts in taxes—about $16.4 billion—would go to low and moderate income families, in two parts. First the committee bill would provide an immediate 10 percent tax rebate on 1974 income taxes up to a maximum rebate of S2OO. That rebate would put about $8 billion back in the economy. The second part of the bill provides for a reduction in withholding taxes in the last six months of 1975 for taxpayers earning less than $20,000. Cuts under this provision would total about $8.4 billion and would put more money in the hands of people hardest hit by rising prices. Under the bill reported by the new Ways and Means Committee Chairman, A1 Ullman of Oregon, businesses would get a boost.in the investment tax credit from 7 to 10 percent. This tax credit allows boswieSses to subtract a percentage of the cost of new equipment from their income taxes. The aim of the investment tax credit is, of course, to stimulate business growth and reduce unemployment. Thg Ways, and Means Committee bill is the kind of legislation the nation needs right now to stimulate the economy. It was therefore disappointing this past week to

see President Ford attacking a Congress which is moving quickly ahead on measures to fight the recession. House Votes to Kill Import Tax Special Panel Developing Energy Plan The House of Representatives took decisive action last week in another vital matter. We approved a bill to delay President Ford’s plan to impose a $3 per barrel tax on imported petroleum. The House vote of 309 to 114, in the face of intensive lobbying by high Administration officials, including the President, gave an accurate measure of how unpopular Mr. Ford’s plan is and’the depth of feeling in Congress that the program will neither conserve energy nor promote equity. A third of the Republicans in the House voted against the President's tax. The President’s energy package, which calls for raising the price of all oil in this country by an average of $6 per barrel, would cause continued high unemployment, substantial hardship in lower income families, and add about $450 annually to the cost of living of a family of four. A ninety day delay in the implementation of the President’s plan will be time enough, I believe, for Congress to devise a petroleum conservation program which would provide substantially greater equity. This past week I have been meeting with my fellow members of a Special Task Force of the Democratic Majority in the House which is developing energy conservation alternatives. This is the same Task Force which first recommended the anti-recession tax cut program. Congress Kills Food Stamp Increase by Overwhelming Margins I was also gratified this past week that both the House and the Senate voted, hy overwhelming bipartisan margins, to stop the President from boosting the price of food stamps for the needy poor and the elderly. Asa co-sponsor in the House of similar legislation, I was particularly pleased that the House voted 374 to 38 and the Senate followed with a vote of 76 to 8 against the increase. The House Agriculture Committee and its new Chairman, Thomas Foley of Washington, had reported that the Ford plan would mean a 30 percent increase in food stamps at a time when inflation has already forced food prices up at a rate better than 12 percent a year. And 1 was especially concerned because the Committee reported that the elderly would be hardest hit by jumps in the cost of food stamps. The votes in the House and Senate to kill the increase and to freeze food stamp prices for one year at their January levels, clearly indicates that both Democrats and Republicans believe Mr. Ford’s anti-rgc'ession priorities are wrong.
