A new alteration before a Senate
Committee between an alleged Commu-
mist and representative of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today brought
request from Senator Black, Demo-
crat, of Alabama, for the presence OF
sergeant at arms at future hearings on
his five-day week bill.
w. c. flushing. legislative agent OF
the federation, and Bill Dunno, repre-
senting the Trade Union Unity League
of New York, were the principals.
flushing reiterated a statement he
made Yesterday that Dunno was Com
munist representing Soviet Russia, and
that his organization was using Senate
committees as sounding boards" to
poison the minds of the workers.
When flushing finished, after repeat
ed warnings from Chairman Norris to
stick to the subject of the hearing,
Dunno jumped up, and, over the pro-
test of Norris, proceeded to enter cate
gorical denials of Hushings charges.
A similar incident took place yester-
day between the two men.
ct request the right to enter a
formal denial Of these charges" Dunno
shouted.
mo, not here" Norris began. 'T
don't think"
IT can't help that" Dunno went on.
1--WE been charged with being a repre-
sentative of Soviet Russia and as favor
ing the overthrow of Government, which
is tantamount to treason"
Still continuing, despite Norris at
tempts to stop him, Dunno said the
Hushing testimony was an effort to
cover up the delinquencies Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor"
When Dunno sat down. Senator Black
said: I'VE want to have orderly hear
ings and SO far as I am concerned
want to have the sergeant at arms here
at future meetings to stop any one from
forcing testimony on this committee"

Storm Moving Up Coast From
Florida-"Fair and Warmer"
Forecast Tomorrow.

A storm moving up the coast from
Florida probably will bring snow, sleet
and rain to within few miles of the
Capital late today or tonight, the
Weather Bureau said today, adding that
its edge might even bring some form OF
wintry precipitation into the city itself.
The bureaus forecast, however, pre-
dicted the disturbance probably would
follow the coast closely enough to miss
washington, although the skies will re-
main cloudy throughout the day and
tonight.
Tomorrow, though, will be "fair and
warmer" it was forecast.
The thermometer, which dropped to
% degrees above zero during the night,
accompanied by chill northeast breeze,
was still around the freezing point at

DRIVE ON CRIME
CALLS MOLEY
To HYDE PARK
President Seriously Concerned
About KidnapingS; Signs
Wool Textile Code

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Aug. l
Q.N.SO Us eri ously concerned
over the wave of kidnapping and
gangster outrages spreading
through the country within re-
cent weeks, President Roosevelt
today called Assistant Secretary
Of State Raymond Moley here
for a conference today.
At the same time the Pres
ident found an opportunity to
sign the wool textile code Of
fair competition submitted by the
office c. Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. Johnson.
The new code, effective August
IA, provides for minimum wages
of $13 a week in the South
and $14 in the North, and for
a maximum work week Of 40
hours. 1t is expected to provide
jobs for about $1,000 idle.
At His Desk Before Noon
The President was at his desk
before noon today, and was ap-
parently determined to work un.
til well in the afternoon.
Moley's visit was something Of
a surprise, and was to be brief.
The conference was in the nature
of preliminary work for a great
Federal drive to stamp out kid.
naping and drive the gangster.
racketeer out of American life.
The fact that Maloy was called
in on this subject, it was said,
does not portend that he will be
relieved of his State Department
duties to take over the Federal
crime drive. At the same time
rumors to this effect were hard in
dying.
Moloy is an expert in the field
of crime investigation. He has
been student of this subject for
years, and several years ago made
study of the situation in New
York and Ohio.
Plans Not Known
just what steps are in tho
Presidents mind were not clear,
but it was learned that Moley
has started study of Federal
law with a view to possible sim
plifications and stiffening Of
existing statutes designed to curb
crime.
The visit of Moley here has no
connection whatever, it was
stated, with the impending visit
of Secretary of State Hull. The
latter, enroute to this country
after attending the world eco
nomic conference in London, will
report directly to the executive
when he returns.
Moley was to remain here but
a short time. He arrived Just
before noon. and was expected
to leave on late afternoon train.

||DR. CONRAD DISCUSSES life on MARS"
Makes Allowances
for Big Variance
In Conditions

Lowell in Arizona, who spent
many years in mapping them.
In large telescopes with perfect
seeing" the sharpest eyes will
detect them as faint dark streakS
running in straight lines across
the surface of the planet for hun
dreds of miles. Taken in conjunc-
tion with the observed fact that
there are neither oceans nor seas
and very little, if any, water upon
Mars, these streaks take on a
peculiar significance. It was soon
noticed that the canals" and the
"lakes" at their points of intersec-
ton were seldom or never OBJ
served on the winter hemisphere
but as spring advanced they ap-
peared and persisted until well
into the fall.
LOwell's Theory
Lowell advanced the theory that
on account of the scarcity of
water on Mars huge conduitS were
built by intelligent beings to carry
the water from the melting polar
caps into the warmer zones and
that the observed streaks, IS to
so miles wide, were the result OF
vegetation growing in irrigated
fields along the conduitS. The
'lakes" at the canal intersections
were centers of population, cities
and towns. Moulton, however,
points out that it is not a. sign
of intelligence to construct canals
hundreds and even thousands OF
miles long, in straight lines, and
of uniform width, irrespective OF
the irregularities of the surface
of the planet and the variations
in the fertility of the soil.
At the distance Of Mars from
the sun, the heat and light re-
ceived from the sun per square
unit of area is just about half
that received by the earth. TAX
ing into account the rare at
mosphere of Mars, it is almost
certain that the mean tempera-
ture of the surface of the planet
should be extremely low, a tenn
perature approximating that Of
our air at about four or five
miles high.
Assumption Borne Out
Recent observations seem to
bear out this assumption giving

Planets HabitabiIity
Only Speculative,
Says Educator

Prof. Conrad, Who yesterday
discussed the possibility of a trip
to the moon, today 1DriteS about
the planet Mars, one of the most
fascinating OF the celestial bodies.
BY w. A. CONRAD
Professor of Mathematics, U. s. N. A.
ANNAPOLIS, August 1T h e
question of the habitability Of
Mars is highly speculative. It is
to be understood tn t we are
speaking of life only as we know
it.
Upon the earth life is dependent
upon a certain range Of tempera-
ture, a certain density and COM
position of atmosphere, the pres
ence and availability of water and
the absence of a thousand and
one inimical factors.
Mars is the most favorably stu
ated of all the planets for obser-
vation, since it presents a COM
pletely Illuminated surface e for
study at the time of its nearest
approach-a distance Of about 35,-
O0O,0 900 miles.
Some Facts About Mars
Mars is smaller than the earth,
its diameter being about 4,340
miles as compared to the earth'S
1850 miles. Its mean density is
less, also, which makes it's mass
considerably less. In fact the
weight of Mars is less than one
ninth the weight of the earth.
These figures lead to a surface
gravity Of but 38 per cent Of that
on the surface of the earth, a
very important consideration,
bearing directly upon the density
Of the atmosphere and it's rate
Of escape.
Observations show that on
Mars the density Of the air is
about the same as one would find
near the top of Mount Everest.
On account of the low velocity
Of escape" the lighter elements,
such as hydrogen and helium are
probably very rare or non-existent
in the atmosphere of Mars, leav-
ing it composed mainly Of the
heavier gases such as oxygen and
nitrogen. In composition, there
fore. the air on Mars would not
differ greatly from that of the
earth.
