The final episode was the most disturbing, the moon acting in no respect like the friend of earth she has always seemed. Huge, red, menacing, the moon grew until it seemed to fill the (planetarium) sky. Sound effects produced the howl of winds: a realistic skyline of cities and mountains was seen to burst into flames as the moon's attractive OLDSMOBILE DEALER IBairganms r5 anaam. 95 mow wniie )i 11 AP Wirephoto.

The planetarium was just illustrating the ways in which science believes the world may one day die.

"Mother Earth," he said, "has been journeying unharmed in -her orbit for some 2,000,000,000 years, giving us the right to expect her to continue her celestial travels for many millions of years to come."

Camp In Vermont Stirs Bitter Wrangle Washington, Feb. 1 (UP) A quiet little C.C.C. side-camp nestling in the snow-covered mountains near Sharon, has become the center of a controversy involving many of the nation's most prominent personages. Ii Vaf New York, Feb. 1 OP) The New York Times said today the city's four largest banks and the National Defense Advisory Council had worked out a co-operative plan for speeding financing of defense contracts.

The arrangement, the newspaper said, has approval of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and provides for a clearing house for defense contract loans, operated jointly by the Chase National Bank, National City Bank, Guaranty Trust Company and Bankers Trust Company. Assets Total 11 Billion. The newspaper added that the four banks, with aggregate assets of $11,000,000,000, would act jointly upon financing of defense contractors referred to them and give a quick answer probably within twenty-four hours. "Having done that," The Times said, "they will check with the banks that regularly carry the accounts of the contractor in- olved to see whether they wish to undertake the financing. Should these banks be unable or unwilling to make the loan, the four banks will divide it among themselves, thus distributing the risks involved in such quick action." The four banks, the newspaper said, look upon the venture as "a kind of laboratory experiment in a new type of banking practice," which, if successful, is expected to be "extended to include other banks in this city and will be followed by groups of banks in other cities."

6-in. Size Louisville radio listeners will have to make slight adjustments in the positions at which local stations come in on their dials after 3 ajn. March 29, it was an-rounced Saturday after the Federal Communications Commission gave out a list of 795 stations instructed to shift to new frequencies at that. time. WHAS shifts to 840 kilocycles from 820; WAVE to 970 from 940; WGRC to 1400 from 1370, and WINN to 1240 from 1210.

The reallocation of frequencies resulted from the North American regional broadcasting agreement involving the United States, Canada, Mexico and Cuba, and is designed to eliminate much of the interference in radio broadcasts from those countries. Changes Explained. It was explained that the chief noticeable difference to the average listener will be that stations above 730 kilocycles will occupy a slightly different place on the dial, usually higher. Receivers with push-button tuning will bave to have these controls readjusted. In a -little more technical vein, it was pointed out that stations rperating on channels of from 550 to 720 kilocycles will retain their present assignments; 740 to 780 kilocycles will move up ten kilocycles, or one channel; from 790 to 870, move up twenty kilocycles, or two channels; 880 and 1450 kilocycles, advance thirty kilocycles, or four channels.

Clear channel stations will hift from 1460-1490 kilocycles to 1500-1530 kilocycles. Local stations on 1500 kilocycles will move down one channel to 1490 kilocycles. Because of engineering problems a number of stations have been dealt with individually. Funds Are Sought To Buy Fire Truck At St. Matthews A drive for funds with which to purchase a new truck and enlarge its fire station has been started by the St.

Matthews Voluntary Fire Association, an official of the association said Saturday. If the drive is successful, the spokesman said, fire insurance rates in the area will be reduced. The lower rates will apply to buildings within a radius of cne and one-half miles from the fire station on- Breckinridge Lane, Bear Frankfort Avenue. The association recently purchased 850 feet of hose for the truck which will be financed over a period of two or three years. The association has fifteen trained firemen.

Crusading Minister Given Year for Perjury Minneapolis, Feb. 1 The Rev. Henry Soltau, crusading minister, was sentenced in District Court Saturday to serve a year in the State prison for perjury. He was convicted January 22. The charge grew out of his testimony at a Municipal Court liquor trial that he had purchased a certain bottle of liquor for use as evidence.

Dell Winchester, one-time investigator for Soltau, testified at the perjury trial that he, not Soltau, purchased the liauor.

A ture Department, at the suggestion of a German immigrant professor, mixed fifteen Harvard and Dartmouth graduates with thirty-five underprivileged boys in the camp as an experiment. The Agriculture Department said it was done as "an experiment in the development of leadership and social consciousness.

Critics assailed it as a "Hitler work camp," an experiment in "Communism" and as a "camp for the over-privileged." The cast of characters with fifty silent and bewildered C.C.C. enrollees off stage includes Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dorothy Thompson, Dorothy Canf ield Fisher, Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard and a corps of aids.

Prof. Eugene Rosenstock-Huessy and Representative Albert J. Engel. Act. 1.

Professor Rosenstock-Huessy (who helped establish the German work camps): "The inclusion of college graduates in C.C.C. camps is needed to lead the educated classes back into the social framework of which they were originally a part." Representative Enjel: "I ve written Wickard for a full explanation of this camp for the over-privileged. It looks like a Hitler work camp to me. I'll demand a Congressional investigation." Mrs. Roosevelt: "The difference of opinion seems to be whether you believe youngsters should be given an opportunity to serve other youngsters." Miss Thompson: I was horrified on a recent visit to a C.C.C.

camp to discover that there was no effort made to develop a community spirit. They eat in silence, whereas stimulating conversation is what is needed."
