IOTOTTY PROBLEM FOR UN
The Palestine problem, now before
She United Nations, will test the ef-
fectiveness of the embryo world4gov-
vrnment established at New York. if
• 1,3N can reach and enforce a decision
acceptable to an international majority,
•its prestige and authority will be great-
ly- strengthened. Britain, the Power
tolding a mandate over the Holy
Land since it was wrested from the
Tories thirty years ago, has quite prop-
vriy declined to carry out the UN de-
-eision single-handed. She has paid
dearly in lives and money for the pri-
vilege which has brought_ net more
*base than advantage. Now some in-
ternational agency will have to be or-•
ganixed to carry out the UN plan
when it is decided, and at present no
UN police force exists.
It is extremely doubtful that any
plan will be satisfaetory to all parties.
• The Palestinian Arabs make up the
,majority in the Holy Land and they
claim the legitimate democratic right
to govern Palestine. Their claim is
based on continuous residence in the
country for many centuries and they
see no reason why they should not be
'given political independence at once.
The Jews in the Holy Land, and
the Zionists who speak for many Jews
in other lands, but by no means for all
of them, aim at making the country a
Jewish state, They base, their claims on.
former possession of Palestine, and the
Word of God, giving them ownership
of the Holy Land, They support their
case by citing the famous British
promise to "view with favour the es-
tablishment of a Jewish National
Home," the League of Nations Man-
date which instructed Britain to ful-
fill this pledge, and the notable econ-
omic achievement s of the Jewish
community- settled in Palestine since
1920.
These conflicting claims are lerzcori-
cilable. No possible settlement will
!please both Arabs and Jews. Even a
,partition of the Holy Land will be „un-
i•acceptable to either, so the decision,
NEWEST WORLD WONDER
Thousands of visitors every month
drive to the top of Palomar Mountain
near San Diego, California, to inspect
the giant 500-ton telescope that in 1048
will begin to probe unknown reaches
of the universe. Inside the observa-
tory dome they gasp at the size of the
five-storey-tall instrument. They mar-
vel at the ingenious engineering by
which the massive parts will be made
to move in tracking distant stars. The
Palomar telescope is one of the won-
ders of the modern world, and its 200-
inch mirror is the largest ever made.
Meanwhile, in the optical shop in
California Institute of Technology in
Pasadena, the telescope's mirror disk
is undergoing final shaping, At Palo-
mar the telescope's structural parts
must be true to a thousandth of an
inch; at Pasedena, a millionth of an
inch is acceptable tolerance.- No mech-
ancilal measuring device can be call-
brated so finely, so technicans use the
wave length of light, 1150,000 inch as
whatever it is, will have to be enfor-
ced by the UN pollee force. The pro-
cedure decided on at New York at pre-
sent is that a special UN committee of enquiry will study
the Palestine ques-
tion and submit a report by next Sept-
ember. otiele efter

DOMESTIC CURRENT
DANGEROUS
Those 110 volts of electricity cours-
ing through the wires in your home
can do more than shock you, yet far
too many people assume that domestic
current is harmless. Every year many
people are electrocuted because of
carelessness or the use of faulty elec-
tric appliances and equipment. Because
of the dangers from faulty or improp-
erly used electrical equipment, ade-
quate safety codes have been devised,
and the effects of these codes have'
been encouraging. However the num-
ber of accidents which still occur, in-
dicates that the domestic current con-
tinues to kill the careless.
Equipment built or repaired by am-
ateurs is always hazardous. Dangers
start with the youngster, who through
curiosity and inquisitiveness, tampers
with the electric circuit and attempts
to connect up gadgets that he may
have "invented." Brass pull chains on
light sockets constitute a potential
source of serious shock, as the metal
pull chain provides direct electrical
socket and when the socket becomes !

activated through any faulty insulation,
the pull chain is also charged. •
Long pull chains should be made of
nonconducting cord (non-metallic), a
and in the case of short pull chains, as ..
are used in bathrosms, a glass or plas-
tic link should be inserted in the chain if

The 100-inch telescope on Mount
Wilson, now the largest in use, has re-
vealed star clusters at distances of half
a billion light years away. A light year
is mearly six trillion miles, the distance
that light travels in a year. The Palo-
mar telescope, with four times the light
gathering capacity of the Mount Wil-
son instrument, will have a. range of
one billion light years and will cover
eight times", the volume of space that
can be probed by the 100-inch instru-
ment.
For the first time, astronomers will
have a telescope so powerful that some
