New Comet Is Found
On 1O-Day-OId
Photo Plate

TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 27.-
Discovery Of a new comet on a
ten-day-old Photographic plate
he was filing was the experience
of E. r. Carpenter, of the Sew
ard Observatory of the Uni
verSity Of Arizona here. The
photograph was made of the
sky in the constellation of Aries,
the ram, on November 2. This
star group is now seen high in
the southern sky about II p. m.
At the time the plate was
exposed, the comet was not
noticed. After Carpenter found
its image on the plate, a further
search was made for it in the
sky, but the glare of the moon
prevented its being seen. When
discovered, 1t was very faint,
of the 18th magnitude, and
was moving to the southeast.

Capper CR0, Kansas, head of the
farm bloc, declared in a radio
address yesterday that the Sen
ate's talk" about the tariff bill,
which has been criticized, had
been responsible for stopping a

of the coalitions success in re-
>ducing proposed industrial rates,
a bill finally will emerge at the
regular session which President
Hoover can and will approve"
Recalling the description of
Southern and Western States as
backward commonwealthS" by
Joseph r. Grundy, head of the
Pennsylvania Manufacturers AS
sociation, and the designation OF
Western Republicans as sons of
wild jackasSes" by Senator Moses
(RO, New Hampshire, Capper
said:
These remarks show that
the folks who denOunce the
Senate for not speeding up
really are denOuncing the Sem
ate for not agreeing with their
own ideas of what kind of Z
tariff bill ought to be passed"
