HOUSE PROSPECT

laws, but to renew vigorously q ma
tional educational campaign against
drinking was ready for consideration
1t was first discussed at recent in
formal session Of representatives of dry
organizations, and was formulated
mainly through the efforts Of the Anti
Saloon League, the Association of Cath
olics Favoring Prohibition. the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, the Meth
odist Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals and the Internation-
al Reform Federation.
Prohibition leaders have taken the
attitude that the presidential election
was not a popular verdict on the pro-
hibition issue. and that while the presi-
dental candidates were bound by their
party platforms, representatives and
Senators were not and in voting must
be guided by promises to their con-
stituents.
Aside from the plan to watch close
ly how members of Congress may vote
on measures to change prohibition, the
prohibition proponents have placed high
hopes in their ability to defeat a repeal
resolution when, and If, 1t Is submitted
to the States.
Proponents Of prohibition also are
preparing to contest in the courts any
change in the law that may be made
The drive for beer drew the fire of
two prohibition leaders yesterday.
Edward B. Dunford, attorney for the
Anti-Saloon League, said legalization
OF the brew would violate the eight
zenith amendment, his statement being
prompted, he explained, by one from
the Volunteer Committee OF Lawyers
in favor OF legalization.
Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton, chairman of
the Woman's National Committee for
Education Against Alcohol, made public
letter to August A. Busch, st. Louis
brewer, citing findings of DR.. Francis G.
Benedict, at the Carnegie laboratories,
that beverages Of as low alcoholic con-
tent rs 2.75 per cent by weight have
a toxic effect.

PARTY WHIPS SNAP
FOR REPEAL VOTE
Notices Sent Out to BE Sure
and Be Present for Open.
ing Day.

BY the Associated Press.
Party whips are cracking summon
ing House members for the vote on
prohibition repeal when Congress meets
Monday.
Not In recent times have the whips
those who send out notices to be sure
and be present-been heard calling the
membership for business the first day
Of a session. Democratic Whip McDuf-
fie of Alabama and Republican Whip
Bachmann of West Virginia are the
"whippers."
Originated in England.
Whips originated in the British House
OF Commons after that government
recognized them as an official part OF
its legislative branch. They had no
title, but unwittingly were given one
that has stuck.
Slavery was practiced in England in
those days and "whippers' held slaves
in line by applying long lash. Whne
watching party members being rounded
UP in the House Of Commons one day,
an outlander described the men doing
the lob as "Whippers." This was later
shortened TO WHlp dlu WAlCI PoA eASo
were formed in this country whips were
appointed in Congress.
Duties of whips include lining up
their party members for votes on i'm
portant legislation. notifying them OF
their leaders plans and polling their
colleagues on issues for the chieftains.
Selected by Leaders.
They are selected by the majority and
minority leaders While they assume
additional duties, they receive no added
compensation except the title and an
extra clerk. There are assistants to
help them.
McDuf1ie was named whip when
Speaker Garner was minority leader
and was retained by Majority Leader
Rainey when the Democrats gained
House control a year ago
Bachmann was an assistant whip to
the late Representative Vestal of In
diana. and was elevated by Minority
Leader Smell last Spring to fill the
vacancy
In the Senate. Fess OF Ohio. Re-
publican, and Sheppard Of Texas. Demo-
crat. are party whips, but the practice
Of applying the lash has almost dis
appeared there.

COSM|C RAY FIGHT
PRODUCES PAC|F|ER
Able lie Maitre, Youngest in
Field, Seeks Compton
MilIikan Peace.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf, November 30
Able Groges LIE Maitre, youngest OF the
worlds distinguished cosmologists, came
to California yesterday in the role of
peacemaker.
With a contagious smile and a
chuckle, he revealed that he hopes to
bring the two greatest cosmic-ray hunt
ers in the world, DR.. Arthur H Comp
ton and Dr. Robert A. Millikan, into
agreement about these mysterious mes
sengers travelling on the wings of a
hundred billion volts through space.
AL cosmic-ray observations fit in
splendidly with the concept of an ex-
panding universe" he said.
With warm handclasp he greeted
DR.. Edwin Hubble, astronomer. whose
observations of the rapidly receding,
distant island universes has given sup
port to the LIE Maitre concept of the
universe. Likewise, he greeted as he
stepped from the train DR.. Walter S.
Adams, director of the Carnegie In
stitution, Mount Wilson Observatory.
whose researches gave support to the
theory of relativity.
In Relatively Study.
Able LIE Maitre, only SO years of age.
Is one OF the leaders In the study Of
relativity. He will spend two months
here in absorbing the results of obser-
vation by the world largest telescope,
as well as the laboratory and field OBJ
servation relating to behavior of the
universe and the atom.
It Is his theory that the expending
universe started 10000, 600, 900 years ago
from one primordial atom whose mass
was equal to the mass of the universe
today.
This original atom has been disin-
tegrating since, he theories. and all
physical conditions today are evidences
of this dinintegration.
This strikes midway between the
Compton theory of the universe dying
under humiliation and the Millikan
theory that the universe Is building up.
"Cosmic radiation includes not only
the one type Of rays, but radiation Of
ticles, all kinds Of radiation" the abbe
suggested.
Quasi Periodic Universe.
He was asked about the theory of
DR.. Richard Chace Tolman, here, of
possible periodic universe, expanding
and contracting in cycles
Will q CLluChtG revealing MS sense
of humor. he said:
How about quasi-periodic universe?
Maybe that would explain the depres-
sion"
He expressed pleasure at the prospect
OF meeting DR.. Albert Einstein here next
month
Controversies are unnecessary" said
the abbe, who was in the Belgian Army
during the World War Il do not hope
to give talks to settle controversies, but
merely to confer. So many things are
settled by quiet talking. I like con-
ferences, and there are so many inter
esttng people here to talk to.
Il look forward with great pleasure
to discussion with DR.. Hubble, who has
done such wonderful work in observa-
tions Of the extra -galaxotic spaces"
Abbe LIE Maitre is professor Of rela-
tivity at the University of Louvain,
Belgium and comes to America on a
fellowship of the American Commission
for Relief Of Belgium.

CURB ISSUES MOVE
IN NARROW RANGE
Utilities Erratic on Reports
of Reduced Electrical
Output.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April l3.-Stronger at
the opening, today's Curb Market
turned irregular around noon as trad
ing slackened. Dealings were about rs
per cent less In volume than those of
Tuesday.
Electric Bond g. Share moved within
a fractional range on diminished deal
ings Cities Service was of about 4
point while Standard Oil of Kentucky
was up that amount. Standard Oil of
Indiana was virtually unchanged.
Public utilities turned erratic follow
ing publication of the weekly electrical
output figures, which reached the low
est level of the depression. Electrical
output in the past week was down Ill
per cent as against 11.9 per cent in
the preceding week.
Other weekly trade reviews were as
unfavorable as had been forecast. The
rise in both gasoline stocks and daily
crude oil output and the decline in
weekly car loadings contributed to the
selling of petroleum and rail shares.
Brazilian Traction, which showed
strength in London and Montreal,
moved against the general market trend
of utilities here. American Light &
Traction preferred. Long Island Lighting
and Middle West Utilities were the first
TO reach new low levels. Southern Col
orado Power "A" and United Light &
Power convertible preferred staged re-
coveries of a point and more. New
England Power & Light preferred rose
shade.
Humble Oil led the descent Of the
Standard Oil division as it reached 41A
for the first time in three years. Alum
mum Co. of America made a similar
record in the metals as it dropped to
2514. In the inactive specialties Rub
