Yellow Planet. As Mars drew close last week, even laymen noticed that it could hardly be called red. This time it looked definitely yellow. One reason for this, reported astronomers from Japan to Texas, was a gigantic, yellow dust cloud, presumably raised by unusual turbulence in the Martian atmosphere. It was first seen by Japanese astronomers in the middle of August. Later it spread until it obscured much of the planet's surface, making all observation difficult...
...dust will presumably settle before Mars gets too far away for good observation. For another month at least its distance will not increase enough to make any appreciable difference. The astronomers, however, cannot report all their findings immediately. They will need much time for study and coming to conclusions. In fact, the public may not get the latest news from Mars until the formal meeting of the International Mars Committee in June...

Chibougamau's population has shot up to more than 2,500 permanent residents; their new clapboard...
...drama packed with jive-talking juveniles are due for a letdown. Burning Hills is simply one more version of the venerable western about the mean old rancher out gunning for the squatters who are fencing off the open range. The six-shooters bang, the corpses hit the dust, the cowboys gallop hell for leather across the wide screen. In between the bloodlettings, Tab Hunter and Natalie Wood speak pidgin English to each other and sleep out on the prairie without a chaperon. The villains had several good chances to rub them out, but missed...
