JUDGE ALLEN

Smiling with delight, many Of
them tired from the long trip
but happy, 500 newspaper boys
from all sections Of the United
States arrived in Washington to-
day on the National Newspaper
Boys Specials.
They came on the second an.
nual Patriotic Pilgrimage Of the
Newspaper Boys Of America They
will remain here until Wednes.
day afternoon when they will
board trains that will carry them
back to their home cities, to tell
for months to come of the pleas
ures they had and sights they
saw in Washington and it's en-.
vironS.
When their trains pulled into
Union Station this morning they
were greeted by william c. Shel.
ton, circulation director Of The
Washington Times and Herald,
and Harry Carr, assistant general
passenger agent Of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, who arranged the
train trips.
Housed At the Willard
The newspaper statesmen then
piled into waiting busses and were
rushed to the Willard Hotel where
they will live during their stay
here.
At the hotel they were vel.
coined by Edmund F. Jewell, pub.
Usher of the Times and Herald;
o. r. Lewis, circulation manager
Of these papers, and L. G..
Leech, director of The Washing.
ton Times-Herald Boys Club,
which is sponsoring the three.
day pilgrimage. These men and
Mr.. Shelton constitute the COM
mittee in charge Of the festivities.
Official Washington was de-
lighted with the boys today. Il
found them to be perfect gentle
men and Washington opened its
doors apd hearts to them.
After being Escorted to their
rooms, which were decorated and
furnished in the most expensive
fashion, a feature of the willard.
the boys were served a real break
fast in the hotel dining room.

COUNTY BOARD
FACING MANY
PROBLEMS
Arlington's Sewage System
of Prime Importance;
May Issue Bonds

When Arlington county's new
officials are inaugurated into Of.
flee Friday, they will be confront
ed, not with q clean slate, but
with almost all Of the problems
which have puzzled the old Of.
ficials over the past year.
OF prime Importance is the
matter OF installing a countrywide
sewage system. At, the present
time, sewage Is disposed Of by in
dividual systems in the various
subdivisions. The lack Of uniform
ity and lack Of responsibility in
managing these systems has been
a source Of great inconvenience.
It is believed that the county
board will instruct Hugh Reid,
delegate to the State legislature,
to secure passage Of an enabling
act permitting the county to issue
bonds for the installation of the
system.
Referendum vote on the bond
issue for a sewage system met
with failure several years ago.
With a new county board and
the county manager system Of
government scheduled to go into
effect Friday, it is believed the
people Of the county will vote
favorably for such a measure.
Other problems which confront
the county are: Building q new
wing on the courthouse to pro-
vide additional room needed;
building Of a new jail to replace
the present antiquated structure,
and the extension Of water mains
to all parts Of the county.

FOES QUESTION
GOOD FAITH
Of PROBE
Governors Friends Assert,
However, He Has Done
All Within His Power ~

Political prophets profess to
Bee several clouds on the hori-
zon of Governor Ritchie's presi-
dental aspirations. The chief
Of these, they say, arises from
the racial questions growing
out of the lynching of Matthew
Williams, colored, at Salisbury,
several weeks ago.
Investigation Belittled
His critics are inclined to be-
little the investigations now be-
ing conducted by State officials
into the Eastern Shore lynching
and other race demonstrations.
The situation, they claim, is
packed with dynamite so far as
Governor Ritchie's garnering Of
support in several States is con.
cerned.
Friends Of the Governor, on the
other hand, say he is doing and
has done all in his power to
clarity matters. He has done the
one thing possible in regard to
the lynching by leaving the in
veStigation of the Salisbury
tragedy in the hands Of Attorney
General William Preston Lane, jr.
But delays in the trial Of
Orphan Jones, colored, also
known as Yuel Lee, charged with
Staying a family of four, and in
the trial Of George Davis, also
colored, on a charge Of attempted
criminal assault on a white
woman, are aggravating an al
ready serious situation. =.
Jones Decision Delayed
The Court of Appeals has de-
layed since December II in de-
Gliding whether Jones shall be
tried on the Eastern Shore,
where the crime was committed,
or in Baltimore, where the man
has been kept for safety. Davis
is also in the Baltimore city jail.
His trial is set for January 5,
in Elkton. /

being the winning team.
There are seven couples and
four solo dancers still left Of the
20 couples who entered the con-
test on December 8. Several
of the survivors are showing
signs of weakening and it is
likely that only a few will be
left by New Years. The last
casualty was popular Louise
Phelps, Of Los Angeles, who drop

COUPLE TO WE'D
IN A|RPLANE

A wedding at noon tomorrow
in an airplane 1000 feet above
HagerStown was considered as the
only appropriate ceremony uniting
Kenneth L. Morehouse, noted
automobile designer and plane
pilot, and Miss Anna Lee Her
shey, a member of the Hershey
chocolate family.
Both young people are aviation
enthusiasts. They have enlisted
the aid of the Rev. c. Munday,
Baptist pastor, and Pilot Potoroff,
of Waynesboro, Pa, for their air

unable to persuade his bride to
drop with him in a parachute
after the ceremony, however.
Morehouse is now touring with
his 625-pound auto which he built
himself. He and his bride-to-be
are in Washington today with
the little car. He has exhibited
it in SO States.

E|NSTE|N REJECTS
QUANTUM THEORY
Results Uncomfortable" He
Says After Study of Light
Radiation.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PASADENA, Calf, February H.
Prof Albert Einstein, with the apparent
'ntschievous delight, OF boy, continues
70 overturn the applicants of science.
The latest he has tipped askew Is the
duantum theory. He says that when
put to test euantum mechanics are
quite uncomfortable. AS physicists know
laws of the quantum theory show that
IT is impossible to determine both the
position and momentum of a particle
OF matter: that only one of these can
be determined accurately.
The dance of the electrons goes on
always, everywhere, the physicists say.
They constitute all matter, and all mat
ter Is in violent, agftated motion,
whether it Is solid bar or the con-
tents of liquid shaker.
Theories Change.
Years ago scientists believed that all
matter was just wave lengths Then
some laboratories found matter to be
corpuscular-that is. of small, minute
independent particles. Then both theo-
rieS were combined, and out OF these
came the quantllm mechanics theory
some 30 years ago, and it recently re-
solved into theory of duality of struc-
lures, of both wave length and corpus
Crlsr properties.
Prof. Einstein is regarded as one of
the worlds greatest minds in under
standing OF these laws and equations
H has revealed a number of times
since his entrance to California. six
weeks ago, a real delight in upsetting
principles. In fact, he has been doing
that all his life. He upset the long-held
theory OF conservation of energy when
he produced, years ago in Germany. the
equation showing that energy and mass
were incontrovertible.
ScrambIeS Quantum View.
In q smaller way he has just amazed
the physicists and mathematicians in
= talk on the paradox Of the statistical
theory" In this he scrambled the
quantum theory. The theory deals with
radiation and propagation OF light on
the basis that all matter is built up Of
radiation.
First he said he knew of no actual
experiment but he outlined a theoreti-

cal experiment that Is impractical only
due to the time and distances involved
Suppose, he said, you have box
filled with radiation. Then you have a
mirror a light year away-that is, g.
000, 900, 600, GOO miles. You release a
wave train or quanta from the box, and
it speeds to the mirror, taking a year to
get there Then the mirror reflects it
to a prism 5000, 600, 100000 miles back
Find Is Uncomfortable"
BY the quantum theory one can tell
within certain limits the energy OF the
wave train and the place where it will
hit the prism. But II one were to
measure the box from which the radi-
alton came, and the measurement were
made even six months after the wave
chain left. such an act of measurement
would affect the energy of the wave
chain even though it was 100000 O0,-
600 miles away
That is very uncomfortable to think
about" said Prof. Einstein. Scientists
who heard him indicated that he was
not satisfied with Heisenberg's principle
of uncertainty, which couple of years
ago was developed TO patch up the
quantum theory.

and the bloody rule of the Kuonintang are COM
PEELED to recognize that from 1923 to $780, in the
three northwest provinces of China alone about
eight to ten million people died of starvation.
The province of Kiangsu has lost half of its
population. Three successive years China was
visited by drought. This year it is the victim of
unprecedented floods. China needs help! The
imperialiSts will not give help. The United
States intend to place fifteen million bushels of
wheat Of the enormous store in the hands of the
Farm Board at the disposal of China by way of
loan, This will suffice to provide every starry
mig person with to 5 Kilograms of wheat and
6is only in return for payment Nor will the
railing class of China help The Kuomintang
government which annually squanders hundreds
of millions on wars of the generals the govern
ment of the Chinese capitalists and landlords
intends to grant 10 million Chinese dollars for
the purpose of "ameliorating the misery" That
is to say, every victim will receive about three
halfpence in relief" Only the working people
of the whole world can aid their Chinese broth

OUCH flood disaster as that which has over
taken the Yangtse valley has never been ex-
perenced before in world history 1t is not
known exactly whether go or 80 million toilers
have been affected by this catastrophe; only
rough estimates are to hand regarding the extent
of the disaster. Sixteen provinces are involved
South China has also suffered tremendous dam
age But the flood disaster has caused the great
est ravages in the valley of the Yang tse-kiang
and Of the Yellow River. The second largest in
dustrial centre, and perhaps also the second
largest town in the country, Hankow, is under
water. Indescribable tragedies are taking place
there Electric cables, water pipes, industrial
undertakings,-all are destroyed. Houses are
collapsing daily. Thousands of corpses have been
swept away by the streams. The whole of the
Yangtsekiang has become a huge sea, miles
broad, sweeping everything before it. The poor
quarter in Marking is under water. In the valley
of the Yellow river, Kaifeng has suffered the
most. The western part of Anhwei is also under
water. In addition, the dams OF The tributaries
Of the Yangtsekiang and the Yellow river have
collapsed. The damage caused there is not
known up to the present. The rice harvest in
Central China the wheat harvest in the valley
of the Yellow river are destroyed. In an area
in which about so to 80 million people live the
peasant has sown but he reaps nothing.
Sixty to eighty million people are as good as
handed over to death from starvation. Such
tragedy is unprecedented even in the history of
China which is so rich in famine disasters
From year to year these tragedies have been re-
peated on larger scale: In 1927 nine million, in
1923 thrty-four million, in 1929 fifty-seven mil

of other mayoralty candidates in the race.
Publications of the Communist Party, con-
tanning accounts of demonstrations throughout
the country and other articles telling of oppres-

included such statements as I'VE greet you in
the name of the thousands of fighting Conmu-
nists in America" I'VE greet you in the name
of Russian BolsheWks, whose example you are
pledged to follow; I'VE greet you in the name
of those comrades whom the murderously brutal
capitalist police have killed on the picket line
and in workers demonstrations; I'VE greet you
as one who steps into the ranks of revolution
lists to finish with us what they died for, the
Proletarian Revolution"
