SCIENCE WILL SEEK
UNIVERSE LIMITS.
British Scientist Sees Need
of 200-Inch Telescope
for Work.
ny the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
The possibility that astronomers may
some day Le able to explore with their
telescopes to the limits of the universe
was pictured yesterday by Sir James
Hopswell Jeans, British astronomer.
1.-THE modern astronomer regards the
universe as a finite, closed space" he
said, "as finite as the surface of the
earth, and II he is not yet acquainted
with the whole universe, he has good
reason to hope that he will be before
very long.
I'VE of today no longer think of vast
unknown and unsounded depths OF
space, stretching Unfortunately away
from US in all directions. We are be-
ginning to think of the universe as
Columbus thought of the earth. some
not infinitely big; something whose
limits we can fix; something capable
of being imagined and studied as a sim
gle complete whole"
Studies In Washington.
Theoretical studies regarding the ma
ture of the universe are being carried
on by Sir James in his capacity as re-
search associate of the Carnegie 1nstt-
tuition of Washington. in cooperation
with the Mount Wilson Observatory
near Pasadena, Calf.
Sir James recently has been at Mount
Wilson studying with astronomers there
the nebulae or enormous "star-citleS
that are millions of light years distant
from the earth. Mathematical theories
regarding the formation of nebulae,
perhaps by condensation of gases in
space, have been worked out by him and
coincide well with actual observations
of nebulae with the Mount Wilson tele-
scope, he said.
Astronomers virtually have reached
the limit of possible exploration of the
universe with the 100-inch telescope at
Mount Wilson. Sir James explained.
He said probing still further into its
reaches must await completion of. the
200-inch telescope, which will have four
times the ight-gathering or seeing"
power Of the 10o-inch instrument.
Speed Exploration.
Sir James pointed out that compile
ton of the 200-inch telescope will speed
up greatly the rate at which scientists
can explore the universe.
It also will enable astronomers to
study the spectra of the light given of
by distant nebulae and faint stars.
which is impossible with existing equip
ment. Study of the spectra viii reveal
the motion of the nebulae and distant
stars, Sir James pointed out, shedding
light on the theory that the universe
IS expanding like a soap bubble at an
enormous rate of speed, perhaps at the
rate OF millions Of miles per hour.

make the work hold out as long as pos
sible, Mr. Mathewson found.
Interviews with executives revealed
that most Of them were unaware of the
extent to which restrictions existed, the
report stated.

CUT PRODUCTION
Social Science Council Sur
vey Reveals Practice Is
Widespread.
sy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 16-A report Of
the Social Science Research Council
declares workmen in many types of
American industry are "habitually
holding back and slowing up produc-
ton"
A survey Of restriction of OUTPUT
among unorganized workers, sponsored
by the personnel research federation
OF the council, concludes that "restric-
ton is widespread institution. deeply
entrenched in the working habits Of
the American people" Bonuses, piece
rates and other schemes, devised by
efficiency experts to prevent restric-
ton, are actually contributing to it,
the report made public today asserts.
Students Make Report.
The study resulted when students at
Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio,
who spend half their time on real Jobs
reported to the director Of personnel
administration, Stanley B. Mathewson,
that apparently holding back output is
the common thing.
Mr.. Mathewson's report of his sub
sequent investigation states that the
craftsman in Boston, the clerk in Chi
cage, and the mechanic in Missouri
each In his own manner purpoSely goes
out of his way to do what he feels is
more than the normal amount Of work 4"
Bonus and piece rates failed to pro-
duce capacity output in many plants, ="
Mr.. MathewSon observed, because work
ers were convinced the rate would be
cut II too much work were done. Wage
earners believe, he explains, that more
than average output by any member of
the group means greater demands with
no increase in pay"
