C., MONDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 18, 1954 With the sun behind It, the earth ) throws a shadow which is 867.000 t miles long. By, passing through that mighty shadow, the moon gets in to a position where the earth takes its borrowed light. Time was when this periodical eUpse of the moon scared people plenty. It still does, wherever people aren’t hep. For Americans it's one ■ of nature’s best shows. There is no admission price, no tax. , | CURTAIN TIME 1 Curtain time for the big act is ( 7:80 p. m. EST. In the East, the j moon will be well above the horl son then. In the Central and Moun tain Time »nes, the eclipsing will be lower in the sky. In the Pacific j tone, the moon will be partly clip- , sed when it gets above the horizon. Eclipses are as regular as dock- < wbrk, since the moon revolves el liptlcally around the earth and the , earth, along with its moon, revol ves elllptically around the sun. Thus it has to be that every so often the eagth comes between the sun and the moon and eclipses the moon or the moon gets between the sun and the earth and eclipses the sun. Thera can be as many aa seven eclipses (of moon and sun) to one year, and as few ss two. The tost total eclipse of the moon, which was invisible in the East, was tost July 36. The next total one vis ible to this country will take place Nov. 16, 1966. GOOD TIMES? So many American citizens have never lived so wen before or so my»y M for behind. India To Return 1 Anti-Red POWs ' As UN Planned ' PANMUNJOM, Korea (IPI Gen. K. S. Thimayya in dicated today he will go \ through with his plan to re turn 22,200 anti-Red prison ers to the United Nations but warned the Allies not to free their captives. Thimayya, Indian chajrman of the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission, said in an exclusive interview he “may have to” re lease the anti-Communists Wednes day to avoid a “mass breakout." He also said he expected the Communists to refuse to take bacx 347 prisoners, including 21 Ameri cans, on the ground they should be held while a Korean peace con ference deliberates their fate. NO COMMENT The Communists have not an answered Thimayya’s request for a reply to its announcement that he will return all prisoners to their afiead of the date set by the armls captors Wednesday, three days tice, and Thimayya said he may have to hold these men tempor arily. Thimayya dispatched a note to Gen. John E. Hull in Tokyo, warn ing the U. N. supreme commander that release of the prisoners be fore the peace conferenc is held will .be an armistice violation. But Hull, who has completed elaborate arrangements for accept ance' of the anttiCotitoMtntof'North' » Koreans and Chinese, Was expect ed to ignore Thimayya’s warning. ANSWER CLEAR Hull already had made it clear that the United Nations regards midnight Jan. 22 as the absolute deadline for detaining prisoners and that his command will free ■ the men two days after receiving | them. I - It wrs announced in Tokyo that ; Hull will fly to Korea Tuesday to be on hand for the Wednesday morning release. Advance Nation alist Chinese parties already have arrived on the peninsula to greet the anti-Red Chinese and offer them a new life on Formosa. Thimayya said it was the “view” of his commission that the U. N and Communist commands must agree on when to release the pris oners or .hold them indefinitely un til all “explanations" have been completed and until the Korean peace conference has debated their fate 30 d .ys.
