tary of the indianapolis community
fund, and the Bloomington program
by Professor Thomas Rogers of the

through public work not in the
municipal budgets.
Secretary John A. Brown of the
state charities board pointed out
that the basis of relief must be
through township trustees and coun-
ty institutions, aided by voluntary
agencies.
Cooperation of schools in inves-

Lake countys legislators are de-
termined to end the notorious fec
system that has enriched Lake
county officials, without waiting for
the county officials salary bill be-
ing drafted by the Democratic state
committee.
Under the fee system, Lake coun-
ty officials have amassed from $780,
900 to 100000 a year for them
selves, it has been charged for
years.
But the Lake county delegation
has drafted measure to place
them on straight salaries of from
$500 to $4,000 a year.
When the unexpected occurred in
November and Democratic county
officials were elected, it was
thought that no effort would be
made to take the gravy away from
that party.
Prosecutor Gets Top"
The high figure will be for the
prosecutor, who has been collecting
almost 100000 a year under the fee
system, according to Representative
j. CHM Ellyson Dem, Lake..
The state committee is drafting a
salary bill for the entire state TO
eliminate the fee system. Dan

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Robert
H. Lucas, executive director of the
Republican national committee, tes-
flying before the Nye primary in
vestgating committee today, re-
vealed he had paid off his now ia
nous $4,000 note with funds loaned
him by Joseph r. Mutt, treasurer Of
the Republican national committee.
At the same time, he made an
accounting for the $4,000 special

NEA Serrfca Writer

GAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.-Pro-
~ fessor Albert Einstein has won
worldwide fame as originator of
the theory of relatively and is
now paying California a visit
which many scientists insist is a
great honor to the state. But
California has at least one dis
tinguished star gazer who has
picked the moment of EinStein's
visit to repeat what he has often
said before-namely, that Einstein
is completely and everlastingly
mistaken in practically all his
theories and beliefs.
This diSSenter is Captain
Thomas Jefferson Jackson See
six feet four inches tall and 81
years old-former director of the
United States naval observatory
at Mare Island, senior mathema-
tician for the United States navy,
and soon to take charge of a gov
eminent observatory at Acapulco,
Peru.
TEinstein," says Captain See, sis
neither astronomer, mathemati-
clan nor physicist. He is a con-
fusionist.
THE Einstein theory is a fall
acy. 1t is based on a glaring error
OF which EinStein is aware but
which he refuses to recognize.
II know of not one truth in the
whole mass of relatively literature,
and thus, for the good of science,
not a line of it should have been
published.
CIT has simply added to the
darkness and confusion of a
superficial and unthinking age, in
which quantity production of in
ferior literature is injuring the
public mind.
Elnstein is shown to have tin
kered with Newton'S law without
understanding it, which thus in
creased the darkness of this diff
cult subject, without adding a ray
of light"
Having delivered this broadside,
g. Captain See goes on to add a final
Salvo:
"The Einstein theory that the
ether does not exist and that
gravity is not a force but prop
erty of space can only be described
as crazy vagary, a disgrace to
our age"
AS it happens, Captain See does
not stand alone in his views. 9th
er American and European scien-
lists have agreed with him.
But thus far Einstein himself
has never taken the trouble to
answer him. Ein5tein'S supporters
have, but Einstein has simply ig-
nored the naval officer.
TAPTAIN SEE insists that Elm
~ stein is perfectly aware of the
fallacy in his theory of relatively,
but won't admit it.
49, Sh,v< 49, '~>,~
He declares that there is a glar-
ing error in Einstein'S formulas
for the bending of a ray of light
as it passes by the sun.
Einstein, says Captain Sec, care
leSSly failed to multiply his result
by two, and therefore got only half
the value he should have got.
And furthermore, that half
value itself was not new; Captain
See declares that it was obtained
by a DR.. Soldner, another Ger
man physicist, nearly 100 years
ago.
