BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, Decem-

this country to express an opinion.
A college professor down in Hefland
casually remarked that while Jonah
might have swallowed the whale, or
vice versa" he personally didn't have
enough digestion to even swallow
the story" The school offered up
prayer for him, but no further SAL
ary. That will be lesson to him to
lay off Jonah in his future mono
logues.
Then Gen. Smedley Butler started
doing little reminiscing out loud
about some of the old-time antics of
the Marines in Nicaragua, and now
he is to face senatorial firing

So from now on I even believe in
farm relief. Yours, WILL.

Fred I. Kent, director OF the
Bankers Trust company OF New

senate lobby committee the action
OF the senate coalition on the tariff
bill was partially responsible for
the recent stock market disturbance.
He said he had been correctly
quoted in a recent speech holding
the senate coalition partially re-
sponsible for the stock market de-
cline, but he added that was only
one of the causes named.
Other reasons for the fall IN stock
prices, the witness said, were the
increased issuance Of new securities
during 1929, the increase in brok-

capital tax.

DOUBT
MARS HEARS RADIO
Even if Planet Inhabited, Ex-
pertS Do Not Believe
Waves Would Reach.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

Only the most optimistic expert
menter can suppose that radio programs
or signals are being received from the
earth by the people Of Mars-if Mars is
inhabited. Although radio scientists are
unwilling to assert that any forms of
communication along radio waves are
impossible, this conclusion was quite
definitely drawn by E. o. Hubert of
the Naval Research Laboratory. in a
paper presented before the Institute of
Radio Engineers at its closing session
held Jointly yesterday with the Ameri-
can section of the International Scien-
tif1c Radio Union.
Purely on a scientific basis, Mr.. Hull
bert finds that skip-distance effects Of
the far-reaching short waves and the
ionization of the atmosphere of Mars
would make it impossible for radio
waves to reach Mars.
The shortest wave for reliable long
distance radio communication is about
Al meters, with slightly greater values
for Winter and night. Because of the
1t would seem that conditions on Mars
are not very advantageous for short
wave communication, he states.
Stuuy AntlcS or waves.
More than that, waves longer than
about 100 meters will not pierce
through the atmosphere of the earth.
Thus Lieut.. Apollo Soucek. the naval
aviator who broke the worlds altitude
record would probably have found re-
ception on the relatively ong-program
waves quite difficult-if he had bothered
about taking a radio set in his plane
when he climbed to height Of 80, 140
feet one day last week.
The remarkable antics of the short
waves occupied large share of the at
tention Of the radio engineers gathered
for the annual Institute of Radio En-
gineers' convention. One of the most
important papers was that on strange
phenomena of short wave radio trans
mission prepared by DR.. A. Hoyt Tay-
lor, radio chief of the Naval Research
Laboratory, in collaboration with L. c.
Young, one of the laboratory's other
civilian engineers This paper suggests
few of the problems that still remain
to be solved in the use Of the short
waves, now in tremendous demand for
