Northwestern
Prof Finds '44
Peace in Sky
EVANSTON, 111. (ACP). If you
are looking for peace in 1944, you
will find it in the heavens, ac
cording to Prof. Oliver J. Lee, di
rector of Northwestern univer
sity's Dearborn observatory.
While the earth is torn with the
upheavals of global warfare, the
universe will proceed on its well
ordered way with only a minimum
of astronomical disturbances tak
ing place during the year, Profes
sor Lee predicts. Celestial activity.
he says, will consist of two
eclipses of the sun, only one of
which will be visible in the United
States.
"No bright comets are expected
this year, but there is always the
chnace that a big comet will
stray," Professor Lee said.
A total eclipse of the sun oc
curred on Jan. 25. This eclipse will
be visible only in South America
and in parts of Africa.
An annular or ring shaped
eclipse of the sun will take place
on July 20. It will be an annular
eclipse because the moon on that
date is too far from the earth to
cover the sun completely.

The business analyists not only
believe the control of prices has
been remarkably successful, but
they discount numerous move
ments to sabotage price control
effort," states the review. The
point is made that major -groups
challenging wage and price controls-farmers
and la bor - of f set
each other to a large extent.
Citing indexes of prices and
wages since 1939 as compared
with those of a similar period in
World War I, the review says they
