Two Persons Killed In
Height OF Storm With
Twenty Or More Receiv-

HAVANA, Oct. Storm
barbados were removed to-
day with the passing of the
82-mile an hour hurricane
that caused slight injuries
to 20 persons, sank small
vessels in the harbor, and
led to an orgy of footing.
Soldiers ended the footing by
killing two robbers.
AT the height of the storm one
trooper and one sailor were killed,
and one civilian wounded by
snipers who fired on them while
they tried to dispense thieves.
Politics were at standstill
during the storm, but Colonel
Fulgencio Batista, chief of army,
and American Ambassador Sum-
ner Welles conferred earlier.
Batista assured Welles the lives
and rights of officers captured
Monday in the National Hotel
battle would be respected.

New Whirligig Microscope
Looks Two Ways At Once
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
ASSOCIATED Press Science Editor

ASSOCIATED Press Science EottoFI
WOODS HOLE, Mass, October
5.-A new, whirligig microscope
which can look in two directions
at once is in use at the Marine
Biological Laboratory here.
1t allows the scientist to mag
Nifty and to compare two groups
of microscopic animals simultan-
eousIy while subjected to high CEN
trifugal forces. The feat is much
like being able to see both New
York and London simultaneously.
Rotating Disc Used
The whirligig is a double CEN
trifuge microscope, devised by DIR.
E. Newton Harvey of Princeton
university. and Alfred Loomis of
Tuxedo Park, N. Y, the broker
scientist. This centrifuge is a
disc somewhat bigger than a din
ner plate. rotating at several thou
sand revolutions a minute.
Opposite each other, near the
rim of the plate, two holes are
sunk in the disc, but they do not
penetrate it completely. In each
of these depressions is placed a
group of living animal cells. Con-
Meeting the holes is corridor,
making straight line across the
plate. The corridor is fitted with
mirrors and lenses, which reflect
the images of the animals in both
holes to a mirror sunk in the exact
center Of the plate.
Both Colonies Seen AT Once
Looking at the central mirrors
through miscroscope ocular, the
scientist sees both colonies stimuli
taneously.
When the plate revolves. the
cells begin to reveal the different
substances of which they are COM
prised. Centrifugal force sep
arates the substances, causing
them to gather in layers, like
stripes on stick candy. The lay
ers form because the materials
have different densities. The
lightest of these stay closest TO
the center of the whirling. plate,
while the heaviest move outward
toward the rim.
This separation does not kill the
animals. Therefore ordinarily in
visible life processes can be seen
in action better than by any other
method yet devised.
An example of the use is to di-
vide a coup of cells of the same
animal. putting half of each into
each hole. One of the cell groups
will be in sea water, the other in
narcotic liquid. Then the mi
croscope shows moment by mo-
nent how the cells react different
ly to the narcotic than to their
normal environment of water.

Army contemplated abolishing
either of it's posts at Key West.
A member of the Army chief of
staff who declined TO permit the
