SUN MAY GIVE
 EARTH POWER

Saginaw, Mich. (UP)-How to use the power of the sun for earth ly needs, when the supply of coal and other such necessities is ex- hausted, is the quest of science to- day, according to Dr Charles E. St John, famed astronomer,
 Dr St John said he Is organ izing scientists from all over the world to coordinate their efforts in observation of the sun and ter- restrial phenomena. He said there was a connection between what happens on the sun and events on the earth. and that science must find that connection.
 The astronomer asserted that radio effects, magnetic storms and the aurora borealis were be- ing studied in an effort to ind out what happens on the earth and sun at the same moment.
 The scientist referred to those vast whirlpools on the suns sur face, which, he said may be as much as 5O,0O0 miles across These whirlpools may have some part in the vast solar system. he said.
 He pointed out that the sun is now known as gaseous body, though of tremendous density at the center, while discussing the accepted theory of matter.

LAHEY FILES REPORT ON BOMBED BLOCK
Exclusive Rights
 Being Protected
Small Theaters Seek to Break Monopoly on Motion
 Picture First Run Privileges

Protesting the claim of chain theaters to the exclusive rights of first run pictures on the grounds that 1t intends to establish a mon- opoly to the disadvantage of the public and to the eventual elin- ination of the independent theater owner, . defensive campaign of statewide importance has been started in Waterbury.
 Mayor Frank Hayes has been appealed to by the motion picture theater owners of Connecticut to use his ofiicial influence in break ing up the threatened monopoly. It has developed that the experi- rnent is being tested in this city and if 1t meets with success the plan will be adopted in other cofn- munities of the state.
 It will be recalled that Q motion picture known as "Congorilla" was presented in Waterbury last week with the advance notice that 1t would not be shown at any other theater in Waterbury. This statement is interpreted by the independent owners that the man. agement desired to warn the pub lie that if 1t was interested in see- ing this particular attraction 1t would have to visit that particular theater or forfeit the privilege of ever seeing 1t again in this city. Consequently thee laim to exclu- siveness has been challenged as

an attempt to monopolize first run pictures.
 Waterbury has several "seconJ run" pictures, big attractions that are first played in the Palace or State theaters and then brought back to other and smaller theaters at reduced prices. This gives the public a chance to view high class exhibits at a saving providing it is content to wait for a few weeks after the original presentation here.
 If chain theaters are permitted to hold the exclusive privilege of presenting star features 1t is tho claim of the independent owners that the public is to be deprived of considerable enpoyment and the little fellow" in the business must fold up."
 Mayor Hayes informed the com- mittee that he appreciated their sentiments in the matter, but add ed that there Is also an argument on the other side and he would be interested in hearing it. A meeting will be arranged shortly. if possible, between repre- uentaLives of the Arthur corpora tion, which controls Fox-Poli chain and the owners of the smaller the. aters. The issue has incidentally become one of statewide interest as 1t Is claimed that all Connecti- cut will tc involved in the experi- men,

day and also to assist in arousing public sentiment here for the en- tire democratic list of candidates.
 The membership of the local club is growing rapidly. The speakers committee anticipates the pleasure of announcing shortly the visit here of a speaker of national prestige, who will be the guest of the organization, at a large pub- lie rally. The club also plans to offer its assistance and it's facili- ties to the staet and local democra- tic committees with the hope of insuring the success of the ticket throughout the state.
 Letters of congratulations have been received by Mir Robinson from Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and James s. Farley, national dem ocratic committee chairman. Both extend their best wishes for the success of the movement in Con- necticut and have pledged their support in an undertaking that the club sponsors. From all indi- catoins the organization is going to prove a most valuable ally to the regular democratic organization in Waterbury and the state in the coming elections.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE HAS
 SECOND BOOM
One Other Experience
 Since Wall Street
 Debacle
By HARRY FLoRY

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 London - (UP) = The London stock exchange is experiencing its second boom since the Wall Street crash of 1929 carried London val ues down with it.
 The first boom came immediate ly after Britain suspended the gold standard. It was short lived and succeeded only in writing up the values of stocks and bonds to com pensate to . certain extent for the depreciation of the pound sterling.
 Now the second boom Is being experienced, induced entirely by the governments heroic action in arranging for the conversion of the Five Per Cent War Loan, originally fioated in 1917, into securities car. rying only 3 1-2 per cent interest. War Loan Drag
 For several years the Five Per Cent War Loan has acted as drag on the stock exchange, serving to keep prices of other government securities and of desirable indus trial shares below their real value. More than f2,000,000.000 of the war loan was outstanding when the conversion offer was announced. Since Snowden's budget in April. 1891, when he took powers to con. vert, this issue, the conversion has been pending. This served to keep the quotations of the Five Per Cent War Loan somewhere near par and to keep other British government funds, carrying from 1-2 to 1 1-2 per cent interest, even lower. The Five Per Cent War Loan ...lf A. n-H tSa
 From that date 1t will be known as the 3 1-2 per cent War Loan and all of the present three million odd holders will either have re. ceived the new 3 1-2 per cent loan
 will have been paid off in cash or some other government security. Boosted Securities
 Automatically, therefore, when
 the conversion offer was an- nounced. other government issues
 became immediately intrinsically more valuable and the demand for other gilt edge securities increased. As long as the Five Per Cent
 War Loan existed 1t set the stand ard for anticipated yields from in- vestments. Investments paying less than s per cent and lacking the
 enormous financial backing of the British Exchequer were practically a drug on the market. Investments yielding more than 5 per cent were looked upon with suspicion. the purchase of which entaiied consid- erable risk.
 Thousands of British rentiers had all their assets in the Five Per Cent War Loan. If they con vert their holdings into the 1-e per cent securities offered In ex- change they automatically reduce their incomes by 90 per cent. Many of them will be forced to sell out their Five Per Cent War Loans and look elsewhere for investments which will yield them somewhere near their present income without sntaiiing too much risk.
 That is the process which is now taking place.

 So far as we were able to learn, none of the tenants, to their know ledge, has an enemy, and not one of the occupants was able to ex- plain in any way the reason of 1t all. Everybody was asleep at the time of the explosion. Five families lived in the building and the chill dren ranged in age from three to eighteen years.
