Lunar Appulse Is Observed Here Sunday A phenomenon of unusual interest observed by many Anaheim residents Sunday night was the penumbral eclipse of the moon, known scientifically as an appulse. From coast to coast, where skies were clear, observers saw a dimmed, flat-bottomed moon as it passed through the earth's penumbra (light shadow). The phenomenon was not an eclipse in the true sense of the word, for the moon at no time entered the earth's umbra (dark shadow) to become totally blacked out. In most of its monthly revolutions around the earth, the moon steers clear of both shadows, light and dark. Its current circuit takes it over the earth, through the penumbra and back under to earth to complete its orbit. Maximum dimming of the moon was observed here at 8:27 o'clock. At this stage the upper rim of the moon shone with full brilliance, but below it there was a gradual diminution of radiance, ending in the nearly blacked out lower edge. Next lunar appulse visible to the unaided eye will occur December 29, 1944.

Dewey Speaks on Course of Action New York District Attorney Outlines Requirements of United States Thomas E. Dewey, candidate for the republican nomination for president, took sharp issue in his Los Angeles address with what he declared was advice of the leaders of the present administration "that only under the New Deal can this country make and keep social progress." He spoke at Hollywood Bowl Saturday. "They parade the spectre of reaction, hoping to persuade the people that we cannot have both social progress and sound government." Declaring that "there can be no monopoly of social vision," he added that "our liberal legislation does not come from the minds of political partisans. It comes from the hearts of our people. . . Truly legislation in the interest of social welfare is no private preserve. It is a field that has been cultivated by many hands and its harvests are the work of both our major parties." He said that "progressive legislation is not the exclusive property of New Dealers, or democrats, or of republicans" and added that the presentation of "due bills for social legislation" by New Deal politicians "is just plain fraud." "Equally fradulent are the warnings of the New Deal that the republicans will repeal the social legislation of the last seven years," he said. Dewey listed the following requirements of "a predominantly industrial economy such as ours: "First, and foremost, the release..."
