RENEW BATTLE
ON ORIGIN OF
COSMIC RAYS
Two u. S. Winners Of Nobel
Prize Farther Apart
in Views.
BY DAVID DIETZ
ScrInns-HoMard Science Editor

WASHINGTON. May /. The
battle over the nature of cosmic
rays hared up with renewed vigor
at a recent session Of the National
Academy Of Sciences. It was appar-
ent to the assembled scientists that
Americas two winners Of the Nobel
prize in physics, DR.. Robert A. Mil
likan and Dr. Arthur H. Compton,
are farther apart in their views
upon the subject than ever.
Last December at the Atlantic
City meeting Of the American As
ISOLATION for the Advancement Of
Science, DR.. Millikan and Dr.
Comroon took part in a symposium
which took on the aspect of a de-
bate between the two scientific IT,
tans.
DR.. Millikan maintained that the
cosnic rays were tiny bits Of energy
known as phOtons. like X-rays only
thousands Of times shorter Dr
Compton took the stand that the
rays consisted Of particles Of matter

Tells of Experiments

Today, Dr. Milhkan and several Of
his associates detailed experiments
which they had performed during
the last three months All Of
them, DR.. Milhkan made it clear,
strengthened his views that the
cosmic rays were photOns.
DR. Compton, the tall, youthful,
good-lOOking professor Of physics at
the University Of Chicago, told the
academy that at least 10 per cent of
the cOsmic rays consisted Of par
ticles with positive electric charges.
He told Of experiments in which
special devises were used to detect
the directions from which the cos
mic rays came.
More rays were detected from the
west than from the east. The in
fluence of the earth's magnetic field
is such, he said, that positive par
ticles would come in greater UNI
bers from the west than the east.
Marshals Flight Evidence
In an interview today he told
the writer that it was possible that
these positive particles might turn
out to be the newly discovered posi-
tive electron or POSITION whose eX-
istenCe was discovered by DR.. Carl
D. Anderson of Dr.. Millikan's labO-
ratory in California during co5nlic
ray studies.
Dr. Compton said that it was also
possible that the positive particles
might be the nuclei Of atoms, per-
haps of helium atoms.
Dr. Mnlikan, the distinguished
fOrceful, gray-haired chairman of
the executive committee of the Cali
fornia Institute of Technology,
marshaled evidence collected by
balloon flights, airplane flights and
laboratory experiments to prove his
views.
Uses New Instrument
He told of experiments in which
new types of recording electroscopes
were carried aloft to heights of
more than five miles by airplane
and others in which similar devices
were attached to balloons and sent
up to heights estimated to be at
least twenty miles
The records thus obtained DR..
Millikan said, convince him that
the energy of the cosmic rays is
about equal to the energy of the
starlight in our galaxy.
DR.. Millikan said that he was
convinced that the cosmic rays were
photons which could be divided into
three bands, or at the most four or
five, according to the amounts of
energy which they possessed.
