...Hickenlooper's side rallied Democratic allies: Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey, Illinois' Paul Douglas, Majority Leader Ernest McFarland of Arizona. In an attempt to save the day for the Senate's let's-get-out-of-Washington faction, Tennessee's Kenneth McKellar got to his tired old feet. McKellar swore that the House would never abandon the rider, and that, anyway, the bill wasn't such a bad one.

...Minnesota is the world's leading small-star fancier. Last week he was beaming over the smallest star yet discovered: a "white dwarf," 25 light years away from the earth, which he found and analyzed with the help of Dr. E. F.

Last year, with Adventist Elder Lawrence E. Davidson of Phoenix, he rented a small lot for the purpose. Services went so well that this year the Adventists took over two larger plots, one of them in the Negro section of town...
...leading authority on the Arizona meteorite crater, Dr. Harvey H. Nininger is naturally interested in the moon, whose face has apparently been pocked by thousands of flying meteorites. In the current Sky and Telescope, Nininger speculates that one large meteorite may have blasted a tunnel through one of the moon's ridges...
