VicwingListcning By Bob PlanU Star Staff Writer "YOUR HIT PARADE." that Is, the new version of "Your Hit Parade," hat been on the air (Saturday nights) for about two months now, and striving each week to get ratings that will keep it on the networks for at least this season. must be a difficult job for the producers, set designers and people behind "Your Hit Parade- to find settings each week to fit the songs presented by the four singing start of the. w. And no matter how many minor changes, each week's show- en Know Conditions on OtHer Planets Oltxion Corey seems like a rearranged version of what was seen last week. Then too, the local competition provided by the two area CBS affiliates include "Death Valley Days," on channel 3 and "The Thin Man" on channel 12.

This doesn't make watching "Your Hit Parade" a premium adventure. But this-much can be said for the show. The vocalists are much better than the old group which held the stage for about seven seasons. Especially are the two female Copeland on the new hit a a Leonettl Jill Corey and Virginia Gibson. Both girls seem to be able to take the mediocre settings, and by virtue of their voice quality and excellent personalties make the songs they present enjoyable.

The male vocalists on the show, Tommy Leonettl and Alan Copeland are also much better than their predecessors, especially 'Snooky 1 Lanson. (Exactly what they call this 50 year old man "Snooky" for, we'll never understand). And although both men have voices as good as the girls, they don't seem to have the ability to put the songs over like Miss Corey or Miss Gibson. The future of the show seems unpredictable. It might pick up more viewers than are currently watching, and someday enjoy the success of the radio version "Your Hit Parade" once aired, or It might be replaced by new show, even as quickly as the half way point In the current season.

But whatever the course of this particular show, we see a bright future for the vocalists. If not In TV then In other fields of entertainment.

HARBOUR AI' Science Reporter NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (IV- What with Russia's Sputniks, and the gaudy possibilities ot interplanetary travel to come, our solar system seems to be shrinking jome- what like the earth did when airplanes came Into use. Fortunately, the solar system. being our celestial habitat, has been closely enough studied 'to provide effective bases for calculations fundamental to the space travelers of the future. Let's look at some of these fundamentals.

Gravity Is ore of them. It is the gravity that controls the course ol the planets. The Earth is one of nine planets --and a puny one at that Jupiter, the biggest, has a diameter IB times as large as Earth's. In fact two of moons are bigger than Mercury, the smallest ol the placets. To get an Idea of the neighborhood that these planets patrol.

suppose that the Earth and the Sun were only a foot apart. If that were so. Mercury, near cst to the San, would be just 5 inches from its searing Pluto, the farthest, wwild be al most 40 feet away. Venus would be little more than 8 Inches from the sun: Mars wxnild be 1'i feet. Jupiter 5 feet, Saturn 9'j feet, Uranus more than 19 feet and Neptune about 30 feet In space.

Pluto's most distant orbit is 3.670,000,010 miles from the sun. Strung out in an uneven ard changing parade in their own orbits are the other planets. But there is only one boss over all of this area. If you lumped all bodies In the planetary system together, you would still have to magnify them 600 times to approach the siie of the Sun. Alike as they in their obedience to the Sun, the planets are very different In other w-ays.

In fact they hardly seem to belong to the same family. Jupiter for Instance has moons. Mercury end Venus have rone. Mercury lakes Just about S8 dyvs to get around the Sun. Pluto takes J55 years to do the same thing.

Mercury, because it orbits so close to the Sun. travels only a small fraction of the distance Pluto must travel. Venus, like the Earth, has an at a Astronomers don't know how deep it is or whether It will tuppcrt lile, but there has been speculation in science as well as in fiction that there Is lile on Venus. Heavy cloud layers and the inability to see permanent markings on Vcr.us have prevented scientists from learning even how- fast the planet rotates. We do know that Earth and Venus are almost the same size -differing only a couple of hundred miles.

Mars, unlike Venus, has two moons, car.aMike patterns on its surface, and a popular reputation on earth. Most people think of Mars as being in the "Have lile, will travel" category. We know Mars' atmosphere Is remarkably clear, but our own shimmers, hampering our vision. There are some slight clouds. Temperatures vary greatly on Mars, but many astronomers lieve there is at least plant life on the- planet In contrast to Venus, Earth and Mars, are those planets farther out in spice and little Mercury which skitters along too near the Sun for comfort.

For Mercury, a peculiar bit of mathematics makes for an unpleasant climate. While it takes Mercury days to go around the Sun, it takes about the same amount of time for the planet to rotate once on its axis. This leaves poor Mercury with the same side of its face turned to the Sun almost all the time. At the opposite end of the planetary ladder are the big planets- Jupiter, Saturn. Uranus and Neptune.

They are especially inhospitable and cold. In fact temperatures might ranqe to 300 degrees Delow zero on Neptune for If this won't dissuade visitors, he planets arc also blanketed with poisonous gases-- mostly a of ammonia crystals and me- inane gas. This lies across huge Ice caps on the planetary surfaces. Saturn carries a whole barrage ol small satellites In the form of rings around her middle. The last planet discovered, and the farthest away, Is Pluto.

Litlle known of it yel-- but its siie contrasts sharply with Its larger It is perhaps the size of the earth. Through them all wander the hous.inds ol tiny planets, called asteroids. Of all the planets, none is as cozy and comfortable as the Earth. Here, in 3 hours and 56 ninulei, man rotates i the Earth around Its axis, thus enjoying night and day. The Sun gives light by day and the Moon, some 239,000 away, a more Uscretc light at night.

Forty-seven new stores are opening. They were planned, built and are operated by private enterprise. The brightly painted shopfronts make a pleasant contrast with both the "Moscow massive" style of the state-run stores and the backstreet hovels in which most private traders operate here. Behind each ihopfront lies a story of initiative and determination to stay independent In face of the state-run machine.

The stores stand on a comer site which had lain Idle since it was smashed by the retreating Germans In 1341. Under government plans it should by now be a subway station. But the subway project was abandoned long ago as too costly.
