Meteors To Be Visible During Next 3 Nights NEW YORK, Aug-. 10.— This is the week of the midsummer meteors, the perseids, which for 1112 years straight haVe been seen in the northeast sky each summer. The nights to look are tonight to Thursday. The largest number should be seen Wednesday night and the best time is after mid night after the moon has set. The meteors are small, usually not bigger than grains of sand. They are swuft, traveling at more than 40 miles a second at about 60 miles above the earth. They are part of a vast riVer of meteors, whose orbit is be tween two and three billion miles long. That takes them thousands of times farther from the sun than the earth at its greatest distance. This orbit stands on its head in fererence to the plane of of the earth’s orbit. 'Almost liter ally these perseids come down from above. The width of the stream has been variously esti mated at from a few milliop to 1 *> 000,000 miles. Anywhere from 10 to 60 of these meteors are likely to be Vi sible each hour, especially after midnight. The late hours are better because then the observer is on the side of the earth facing the oncoming meteors. A. S. T. College To Open Sept. 7 Dr. B. B.

PRESIDENT MEETS WITH OFFICIALS AT WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.— President met with high military and State department advisers today in conference possibly pre liminary to his forthcoming new war talks with Prime Minister Churchill. Gathering at the White House for one conference were Sene tary of State Hull, Undersecre tary Welles, Chairman Norman Dav'is of the Red Cross, Dr. Isa iah Bowman of Johns Hopkins University and Dr. Leo Pasvolsky special assistant secretary of State in charge of post-war plan ning. This was followed later by a meeting of the President with Admiral William D Leahy, his personal chief of staff, Admiral Ernest J. King, chief of naval operations. General George T. Marshall, armv chief of staff, and General Henry H. Arnold, commander of the army air for POST WAR PLANNING Mr. RooseVelt told his press radio conference that the talks with the State department group concerned postwar planning, anil described the meeting as one in a continuing series. He did not elaborate, and concerning Mr. Churchill’s visit to the American continent gave no information beyond that disclosed in Quebec. The President said he expec ted to meet with the Prime Min ister, but could not say when or where—or anything else. .Asked about the reports that control of Germany has been tak eu over from Hitler by a military triumvirate, Mr. Roosevelt said he knew nothing except what he bad read in the papers. Nor has the State Department received any information, he added. Since the recent rapid move ment of events in Europe, there has been speculation that a new Churchill-Roosev'elt meeting will deal not only with military strate gy but also with territorial, poli tical and relief problems arising out of the war. There was nothing however to indicate that the two leaders would attempt to formulate a joint policy on the handling of these nroblems. if they did dis cuss them. RUSSIAN ANCLE Since cooperation with Soviet Russia is considered essential in the United Nations planning, lit tle more than an Anglo-Ameri can exchange of views seemed possible until the Russians could be brought, into the Roosevelt Churchill conferences. The President said he did not believe thare would be any Rus sian participation in the forth coming meeting, although he re iterated that he and the Prime Minister would be glad to have such participation. Pending such an opportunity to consult with Premier Stalin, nothing has appeared so far to indicate the . official American attitude toward such Soviei mov'cs as, for instance, the for mation at Moscow of a Free Ger many committee. From the available information on today’s meeting at the White House, it appeared probable that Secretary Hull and his associates reported to the President on their research into the international problems and their tentative plans to meet them. It is known that the State department is prepar ing alternative plans to meet va rious possible situations as they That possible boundary and other territorial solutions are un der consideration here was indi cated by the presence of Dr. Bowman at today’s meeting. He was chief American territorial expert at the Paris peace confer ence in Id 19 and is now a mem ber of one of the Stale depart ment’s consultative committees.
