JERUSALEM, Dec. (UP).— The war may bring something like harmony to the Holy Land after three years of strife be tween Arabs and Jews.
Both Arab and Jewish leaders have assured the Palestine Government of their support and observers believe that a truce between the two factions may be attained for the duration of
the war.
The war has led to a closing of the ranks of Jewish factions under the National Vand Leumi, the Jewish

Latest Discoveries In World Of Space PASADENA, Calif.-What's new far out in space?
Well, Dr. Walter S. Adums, Director of the Carnegie Institution's Mount Wilson Observatory, 11sts the follow- ing, among other things, in his annual report released to-day:
low
Discovery of "remarkably candle power stars," one or two of which give out as little as one fifty- thousandth as much light as the sun. Discovery of two new moons for Jupiter..
Calculation that the sun and its planets, including the earth, are hartling through space at a rate of 180 miles a second.
Conclusions that the surface-of-the. moon "cannot be exposed solid rock, but must be porous like pumice or light dust, which quickly loses the hent it receives from the sun."
The quantity of light sent forth by the sun is roughly midway be- tween the low candle power and the most luminous stars," said Dr. Adams. But the sun's light does not compare with that of supernovae, exploding stera.
The two Butellites or moons dis- covered by Dr. Seth B. Nicholson bring the total number of this, com plicated system to 11.
"Satellites X and XI are extremely small bodies, commented Dr. Adams, "among the smallest known within the solar system, with diameters calculated at 15 and 19, miles, res- pectively. Whether they once form- ed a part of Jupiter or were captured by the great planet is a problem of exceptional Interest."
