The Book Rack BY FRANK WINN For laymen desiring a knowledge of astronomy who are confused by the current complex maps of the skies and do not have access to a palentarium, Armand N. Spitz has issued a volume, "The Pinpoint Planetarium," which solves the map problem in a unique and thoroughly effective manner. The chief feature of the volume are the illustrations by G. Carter Morningstar which consist of two maps for each month paper,- - which are printed in dark blueon-heavy to be cut out and perforated with pins according to directions. thus giving a view of the sky when held up to light minus the confusing details and projections found in ordinary maps. Only the more prominent 'stars are thus revealed by the perforations, but on the sketches are drawn in outline the principal constellation fig. ures to which they belong. In addition to the charts, there are numerous smaller maps and a thorough discussion of the star clusters and each of the planets. A month by month description of the skies from April 1940 through 1945 is also provided. The volume, covering 86 pages in addition to the charts, is published by Henry Holt and The pages and charts measure nine Company. and one-haby eight inches. The price is $2. - 0 lf I.- ..

If the lawyers of America irrespective of party contend that administrative law needs uniform procedure, the public is inclined to credit them with an objective desire to insure a fair. deal for the citizen. There is much to be said in favor of giving boards and commissions power to make findings based on substantial evidence, and even to conduct hearings without some of the formalities of court procedure. But when commissions and boards are filled 'with appointees who do not feel the same responsibility to the people as do elective officers, and when this personnel conceives itself to be the champions of special causes, it is natural that restraints will be imposed and checks insisted upon by Congress in response to an aroused public opinion.

The Senate-- 1 last year without a dissenting vote passed the same measure with some minor differences , from the House bill, but, after it had pasSed, a motion to reconsider was adopted which placed the bill back on the calendar where it is today in the upper house.

This kind of a coalition in favor of "regulating the regulators," as the House judiciary committee report once described the bill, is full of meaning as to the trend of the times.

T is gratifying to see organizations and 1 groups such as the 'Utah Congress of Parents and Teachers stressing the fact that the l'pursuit of happiness'' is one of the fundamental rights of mankind, for it is 7the principles upon which our Constl is based. In drafting the Declaration of Independence, the patriot fathers declared; "We that all hold these truths to be inert-ar- e created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." We hear great emphasis placed repeatedly upon the rights of life and liberty, but there has been 'too little said about the "pursuit of hen!. ness," without which neither life nor liberty. could be of much value. For the right to happiness is the law upon which every'. 'life and every family should be based, and it has been so recognzed for centuries. and Rumania watches fearfully the gather.
