the former Oakland broker Of the petty
theft of S11 from the blond actress

The jury oeliberated 2 hours and l5

frequent angry clashes between the
actress and Read, during one of which
she called him "a liar and a cheap
thief"

a $4,000 judgment recently returned

The Carnegie Institution of Washing
TON yesterday announced completion of
1lrst tests Of new astronomical instru-
ment which will enable astronomers to
explore tWo-and-a-hah times farther out
IN space than the present limit of ap-
proximately two sextillion miles.
Dr. Joel Stebbtns, research associate.
said the new instrument, called the
photo-electric amplifler," shows the
giant milky way star group to which
the earth belongs is built like a round
ham sandwich"
Fix New Scale Universe.
Preliminary work with the amplifier
also shows the millions of other huge
star systems or nebulae out in space
may be twice as large as formerly be-
neVed, putting the universe on a new
scale. They also are sandwich-like.
STUDY OF the light of stars in the
milky way with the amplifier confirms
previous theories that our star-system
or GALAXY" Is like round sandwich
". otennlns explained, with a layer
OF oarK, invisible matter representing
the ham and two layers of luminous
mater mater or stars representing the bread.
Inlckness OF the dark matter in pro-
portion to the outer star layers is about
the same as a slice Of ham compared
to slice of bread.
Size of System Reduced.
The ampliher also shows that The
milky way system is about half the
size formerly estimated, 600 ouedrillion
miles instead of 1900 quadrillion, in
diameter.
Measurements with the amplifler have
doubled the known size of the great
andromeda nebula, one of the outer
star r-systemS comparatively near the
earth. Its diameter is about 48O qua
dr1ll1an miles instead of the old figure
OF 240 Quadrillion. Our star system and
the andromeda nebulia therefore are
nearly the same size, scientists said.

dustries chronological Improvements dis
place labor that. as in the case Of agri-
culture, must endeaVor to find employ
ment il other industries for the prod
ucts Of which there is an elastic de-
mand. Cheaper grades of textile prod
uctS may be taken as an example Of
goods for which no large increase in
consumption could be anticipated from
any reasonable relative reduction in
price. During the course of the depres-
sion prices for this product. as well as
the wages of employees, had been abb
normally reduced. The adoption of
those provisions Of the textile code
which permitted an immediate rise in
prices accompanied by higher wages is
not therefore to be considered an OBJ
stacle to trade recovery. But the situa-
ton in the cotton textile industry was
exceptional. For the products of most
industries there exists potential de-
mand of larger or smaller proportions
which could be reached by relative
price concessions In particular this is
the case with that most complicated Of
products, better housing for the mass of
the people. Families in this country
with incomes of $4,000 or less are not
we'll housed. certainly not as well
housed as they would like to be, nor are
the equipment and furnishings of their
homes all that they would wish them to
be and might be tempted to make them.
Here is virtually unlimited opportu-
nifty for the employment of more labor
and material. It is. however a possi-
bility that can only be realized by pro-
ducing houses at lower costs and there
fore at lower relative price than at
present.
I insist. then, that the most funda-
mental question that presents itself in
examining trade recovery policies,
whether they be those of business men
or of the Government is this: Do they
tend to open up and increase demand
for those products for which we may
reasonably presume a large potential
demand exists that can be made actual
by relatively lower prices-lower prices.
I may add. made possible by improved
methods and larger volume and not by
unreascnably low rates in wages?
N. r. A. Viewed SkepticaIIy.
In particular. it Is pertinent to ask
what influence in this crucial direction
may be eXerted by the policies of the
National Recovery Administration IN.

istration (P. w. A.. In the case of the
N. r. A. it would appear that there is
grave danger that 1t will exert highly
adverse influence. But I wish to say
here very definitely that this adverse
influence is by no means primarily due
to anything for which the Government
is responsible. Washington has been
besieged by representatives of various
industries. each urging provisions in the
codes calculated to weaken effective do
mestic competition. Being secured by
high tariff protection from the foreign

too numerous to control supply and
production Is an annual process.
All this is in striking contrast to the
situation, let us say, Of the steel in
dustry conducted by few producing
units able to adjust production to de-
mand at frequent intervals.
Full employment of labor, then, on
satisfactory, permanent basis, presup-
poses the development Of conditions un-
der which industry shall ce able not
only to absorb the unemployed indus
trial worker but in addition very con-
siderable number G, people now engaged
in agriculture. This will seem large
order, but industry can accomplish this
task, under proper conditions and poll
cies because, unlike the case of agricul-
tural products. there is potential de-
mand of indefinite proportions, If not
for all, at least for wide range of in
dustrial products. The essential prob
lem, then, of trade recovery is to de-
velop conditions under which industry
will absorb the millions who are now
out of work and find a continuing and
profitable demand for a very much en-
larged industrial output.
Business Policies Deplored.
At this point my readers will nat
urally inquire how it happens that this
potential demand for additional guam
titles of goods and services has not been
tapped by the business world. My an
swer is, in the main, faulty business
policies which have been pursued in
many branches of industry and by many
engaged In distribution during the last
decade or more. The only way to de-
velop large additional demand for any
L. 81
It is the proper function OF the business
man, If he is worth his salt, to sense
the possibilities of an expanding de-
mand for his product and to endeaVor
to place that product on the market at
a price which will induce an enlarged
demand
Possibilities of such a policy have
been strikingly illustrated in the pro-
duction and sale of automobiles. If au-
tomobile producers had been primarily
concerned to maintain a high level OF
prices. some increases Of sales would
doubtless have been secured through
advertising and salesmanship, but the
expansion of the industry would have
been comparatively insignificant. The
highly successful business policies of
the automobile makers have by no
means been generally followed by pro-
ducers and distributors. Far too many
of them have been concerned to estab-
lish a fixed price for their products or
to secure price Of x-plus rather than
to seek the enlarged demand that might
have been reached by the offer Of
price of x-minus for their wares.
Relative Prices Important.
No doubt there are industrial prod
ucts which, like agricultural products in
general, do not enjoy the promise Of
large additional demand. In such in

No Significance Attached to
Visit of Gov. Black of Fed

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WARM SPRINGS, Ga, November
29.-President Roosevelt is going on
with his objective for a commodity
dollar, it was re-emphasized today at
the Little White House." in making
plain that no particular significance is
attached here to the visit Of Gov. Black
Of the Federal Reserve Board.
1t was made plain that Mr.. Roosevelt
Is going along toward his objective
without change, but as conditions die
tate.
In other words. the President does
not regard daily actions on the gold
purchase program as significant. He
was pictured as amused at stories which
deducted significance from the rise in
the price Of gold or from the failure Of
the Government to boost the price.
Black Visiting Atlanta.
As for the visit of Gov Black, it was
stated in behalf of the President that
before he left Washington Mr. Black
said he was coming to his home at At
lanta for Thanksgiving and an invita-
ton was then extended for him to come
by here.
Henry Bruere, Federal credit co-ordi-
nator. also visited the President
Gov. Black is understood not to have
been in full accord on the policies of
the dollar devaluation plan, but at the
same time in complete cooperation Win
the administration since the decision
has been made.
Meanwhile the President had before
him three-year program for develop
ment of commercial aviation presented
by Eugene Vidal, Assistant Secretary of
Commerce in charge of aeronautics, and
two associates, Maj j. G. Cone and Fred
Roper.
Details of this plan were not disclosed
as Mr.. Roosevelt studied it. The Public
Works Administration already has al
lotted S15,000000 to the industry for
purchase of airplanes by the Army and
the Navy. The Commerce Department
also is counting upon an ALLEGATION OF
sl0000,000 for construction Of 1000
landing fields throughout the country.
Secretary Ickes, the administrator of
public works, was on his way to Wash
ington today from here with approval
Of other public works allotments.
Additional Funds Question.
In connection with the recommended
ton of the Commerce Department
aviation officials there is some specula-
ton of whether additional funds as
requested by the Army will be given
consideration.
Secretary Wallace, who joined the
President in attending last nights show
at the foundation here by the patients.
also was at the call of Mr.. Roosevelt
today.
The presence of Wallace with the
financial Leaders also gave opportunity
for a review and planning of the agri-
cultural credit situation. in which the
President is showing close attention.

Gates or pools, he testified:
'As such officers may be called upon
to make syndicate loans and may be
responsible for the formulation OF
policies of their banks in connection
with loans on stock and bond collateral.
they should be prohibited from having
any interest in or subscribing to any
such syndicate or in joining in any such
trading accounts or pool operations.
Banking experience has conclusively
demonstrated the undesirability OF par

tions of this kind"
OF the same bar against Federal Re-
serve bank directors and officers, he
said:
Directors of Federal Reserve banks
occupy a very delicate relationship to
the whole credit machinery. Their de-
cisions profoundly affect both the money
market and the securities market; con-
sequently they should have no interest
in syndicates which are offering securi-
ties to the public or in trading accounts
or pool operations in securities, dealt
