Rocket Trips To The Moon, Gold
 From Baser Metals Are Possible
By NEA Service

By NEA Serybce
 Rocket trips to the moon. chang ing baser metals into gold and platinum, power without coal gas- oline or oil, and an entire change in the present method of living these and many other astounding feats are promised by science as a result of the splitting of the atom
 within the past two months two successful experiments have been made along this line. Drs J. D, Cockroft and E. T. s. Walton of Cavendish Laboratories, Cambridge University, England, were the scientists successful in one test Drs Fritz Lange and Arno Brash noted German physicists, were the atomssplltters in the other. The Hnslish scientists, experi- menting with hydrogen atoms, were successful in transmitting hydrogen atoms into heliuIh parti- cies, and these particles were re- leased from the hydrogen with energies of from one to two times that of the particles fired into the hydrogen atoms.
 Thrcc Times More Energy.
 Drs Lange and Brash were more successful in energies re- ceived. They report splitting a. toms of five different clements aluminium, boron, sodium. beryl- Hum and lithium-and increasing the energy received to more than three times that employed in the splitting operation, @
 In the case of the splitting of an aluminium atom, helium atoms were the derivative.
 The release of atomic energy has been the goal of scientific ex- perimenters- for years. Very high voltages of electricity have been employed in the late successful experiments. t..
 Some idea of atoms size can be had in the illustration that on the point of the sharpest needle 4,OOO helium atoms could march abreast Grouped. together closely between stand on that point.
 Radium Liberates Energy.
 While the method tried was successful in splitting the atom i'll the past, it has been known for some time that radioactive changes took place in certain elements This was particularly noticeable in radium, by the light this ele- ment constantly gave out.
 In experimenting with uranium or radium ore, scientists learned that it emitted 5000 particles each second and that, through this de- composition. a gram of uranium would be half gone in 5,000,000' 900 years.

ATTORNEY FOR
BLACKMER ENDS
LIFE in SUBWAY

NEW YORK, June 3. U.p) -
George E. Holmes, So, killed yester-
day by a subway train, was re-
vealed today as the lawyer who
recently represented Henry M.
Blackmer, self-exiled oil man, in
his settlement of income tax La
bilities with the treasury depart
ment.
A letter was found in Holmes
pocket signed by George Gordon
Battle, who represented Blackmer
in a criminal tax liability. The
letter gave Holmes authority to
claim $40,700 from a Wall street
brokerage firm as payment for his
part in settling Blackmer's income
tax difficulties.
The death of Holmes, who also
was said to have represented Henry
Ford and John d. Rockefeller as
an income tax expert, was declared
to have been a suicide by an eye
witness. Members of Holmes law
firm, however, denied he killed
himself
Holmes, a midWesterner, is sur
vived by the widow and a daugh-
ter, Jane, II. His brother, Oliver
E. Holmes, also a lawyer, COM
mitted suicide by inhaling gas in
December, 1880. His mother is
Mrs. Ernest w. Holmes, of Pasa-
dena, Calf.

Moore Reports On
Rotary Conference

Members of the Ell Centro Ro-
tary club heard splendid report
on the seventeenth annual con-
ference of the second district Ro-
tary international, at the club
meeting yesterday.
The report was given by R. P.
Moore, incoming president Of the
club, who attended the conference
held two weeks ago at San Fran
cisco.
He stated the conference was a
splendid success, being instructive
and inspirational and minus any
of the distractions that too fire.
quently are part of such
gatherings.
Splendid addresses, group discus
sions and instruction in Rotary and
its objects formed the bulk of the
convention, with special attention
being given to incoming presidents
and secretaries to enable them to
give the best service during their
regimes.
The lighter side of the conven-
ton was reported by Percie
Thacker, club secretary, who
echoed the assertion Of Moore that

PRESS SLOCATES VETERAN NEEDED
TO PROVE COMRADE WAS KILLED

The Company L, Sixteenth
United States Infantry, First
Division veteran, reported in
last nights Press as being
wanted to supply information
concerning the death of a
comrade, has been found.
He is Harry Loss. formerly a
sergeant in the above company,
who informed The Press today
that he was within a few feet
of w. o. Kelly when the latter
was killed during the St
Mihiel drive on September IL,
1918.
1t happened by chance that
Loss, who has a homestead on
the east mesa, was in Ell Cen
tro yesterday and saw a copy
of The Press with the story of
the Company l. man being
wanted.
Today he stated positively
that Kelly had been killed in
action. He knew the latter from
the time he enlisted in Tulsa,
Okla, and went to the border
in 1916. He stated, however,
that Kelly was not member

COUNTY CLERK
OF Los ANGELES
GRANTED LEAVE

LOS ANGELES, June 3. U.P)-L.
E. hampton, Los Angeles county
clerk, today was granted 30 day
leave of absence without pay while
the grand jury investigated cir
cumstances surrounding the disap-
pearance of $4,000 cash evidence,
entrusted to Lampton's chief dep
uty, Liberty A. Hill.
The county board of supervisors
retracted previous demand that
Hampton resign by 10 a. m. today
when it permitted the county clerk
to file his application for leave.
A delegation of superior court
judges asked that hampton be CIV
en- his right for a full investiga-
ton before he was ousted from
office.
A. j. Hill, attorney, appeared as
Lamptcn's friend at the board hear
ing and pleaded that the most
Hampton could have been guilty of
was misplaced confidence in his
chief deputy.
The missing $4,000 was money
used as evidence to convict Morris
Lavine, former newspaper reporter,
and Miss Leontine Johnson, on
charges of eXtorting from the late
Charles Crawford political boss.
Later Crawford and Herbert
Spencer, political writer, were slain
by David H. Clark, who was ac-
quilted on a plea of self-defense.

TOXIC, June 3. U.P) - Japan

premier said, ito take further steps
to establish conditions enabling
both Chinese and foreigners to live
in safety and pursue their business
in peace"
Viscount Saito said japanese
forces operating in North Man
churia against soldier bandits to
protect japanese residents "have
always paid due respect to the legi-
innate rights of the Soviet Union
in that region and have taken
scrupulous care not to infringe or
injure them"
Il am certain that the Moscow
government fully appreciates our
position. Nevertheless, there are
some who talk as though there were
a danger of war between Japan and
Russia as a sequel to the Manchur-
ian incident. / am sure 1 can ap-
peal to the good sense and discern
ment of our people not to be mis-
led by such rumors.'
Viscount Saito reiterated Japan's
policy of complete cooperation with
the League of Nations commission
investigating Manchurian condi-
tions.
Japan will insist on points of her
established policy at the world dis
armament conference at Geneva,
the premier said. Regarding econ
omic relations with other countries,

morning of the drive when
Kelly was killed.
With the assistance of Hugh

as well as the names of other
comrades who could substanti-

The information is to be
forwarded to Arch Mcdonald

obtained to enable Kelly's
mother to collect war risk in
surance which the government
had never paid, lacking proof of
Kelly's death.

AMELIA EARHART
NOW PLANS TO
RAISE FAMILY
BY MARY KNIGHT
United Press Staff COrreSnOndent)


PARIS, June 5.-Imelia Earhart
Putnam, American transatlantic
flyer, arrived from London today to
be buried under flowers and wildly
cheered by the French capital
A crowd of 5000 filled the St.
Laziare station and lined the near
by streets when she arrived from
Cherbourg with her husband,
George Palmer Putnam.
Those in the station were mostly
men, who politely DOTTED their hats.
Many women were outside, cheer
ing. Norman Armour, charge de
affairs of the United States en-
bassy, and other officials greeted
the flyer.
Miss Earhart changed her plans
and said she has accepted Musso-
linis invitation to visit Rome. She
will start for Italy Tuesday.
In an exclusive interview with
this correspondent, she remarked
that, having flown the Atlantic
twice, there's nothing left for me
to do but raise a family"
"Ive been so busy since my mar
riage," she said, that I haven't had
time to think of children. But I'll
doubtless get around to that pretty
soon. I have no plans whatever.
but I'm sure I'll continue flying"
In few years, she predicted,
thousands of women will have
flown the Atlantic. IT see the day,
not far Off" she said, 'when COM
mercial transatlantic flying will
be ali established fact"
