.|CKES APPROVES
REVISED OIL PLAN
Substitute for Refinery Sec
tion of Code Designed
to Restore Order.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AS a substitute for the refinery Sec
ton of the oil code, Secretary IcEes
in his capacity as petroleum admins
traitor, has approved a revised plan to
restore order in the production end
of the oil industry.
Under the oil code revision, an en-
larged planning and coordination
committee will be enabled to balance
production of gasoline with consump-
ton demand through proration of an
allowable total fixed by the oil ad-
ministration for refineries throughout
the country.
For the purpose Of administering
the new provision, the administration
will divide the country into refinery
districts.
Co-ordinator to Allocate.
The total allowable refinery produc-
vance, will be allocated among the
districts by a national co-ordinator,
who will be selected by the Planning
and Coordination Committee. subject
to the approval of the President.
The actual ALLEGATION of production
among the reflneries in the districts
will be made by district co-ordinators
or district committees. either of which
may be appointed by the Planning and
Co-ordinating Committee. Refiners
disputing the allowance given them
may appeal to the Planning and Co.
ordination Committee and to the ad-
ministrator as a last resort.
Ickes said the plan was suggested
by representatives of all groups in the
industry and by the Petroleum Ad-
ministrative Board, which he set up
to assist in code administration.
Penalties the Same.
Violations of the new refinery sec
tion will be considered violations Of
the code and subject to the same
penalties.
For the purpose of giving better
representation on the Planning and
Coordination Committee, II new
members were added, bringing its
membership to 26. The Refining. Pro-
duction and Marketing Committees
also were expanded.

PLANE USE LIKELY
|. IN D|L[|NGER HUNT
War Department Officials
Declare Cummings Crit
icism Mistake.

The way apparently was being
cleared today for use of Army planes
in the search for John Dillinger. after
statement by Attorney General
Cummings to the effect that the War
Department had turned the cold
shoulder" on previous requests for
military planes in pursuing criminals.
Secretary Of War Dern was not at
his desk this morning, but other War
Department officials indicated their
belief that misunderstanding" was
responsible for Cummings criticism.
They said they felt certain" the JUS
tice Department could obtain Army
planes in any emergency, such as the
attempt to capture Dillinger in Wis
consin Sunday night.
Letters Passed on Request.
The Associated Press quoted Cum
mings as saying: L took this matter
up with them (the War Department.
three or four months ago and got a
cold shoulder on it. Then the airmail
situation came along and I did not
press the matter"
1t was learned that letters passed
between Cummings and Dern regard
ing the request for Army planes about
the time of the search for the kid
napers of Charles F.. Urschel. Okla
homa millionaire. At the War De-
partment it was said, however, no
record could be found of any request
for planes having been received.
In an interview Cummings said the
Department Of Justice wants air.
planes, armored cars and more men
to fight the underworld.
"If we had had an armored car up
there in Wisconsin," he said, "our
men could have driven right up to the
house where Dillinger was. The ter
rible tragedy then would not have
happened"
Justice Department motor equip
ment consists of machines confis-
Gated during prohibition days Many
of these were said to be in a dilapi-
dated condition.
Seeks Armored Cars.
Il think we ought to have a reason
able number of cars-cars that can
go as fast as the devil" Cummings
said. And we ought to have two or
three armored cars"
There are now about 400 special
agents in the Division of Investiga-
ton, 10 of them being accountants.
The division has clerks and other
help which brings the enrolment up
to about 1000.
I'VE need about 200 more" the
Attorney General observed. THE
trouble now is that the men work on
one job and, when a hurry call comes,
they have to drop everything and go
to that"

PICTURES REVEAL
NATURE Of ATOMS
Academy of Science Sees
Photographs Magnified
200 Million Times.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The first photograph of atoms,
magnified 200,OOO,000 times, were
shown before the National Academy
Of Sciences yesterday, by DR.. Arthur
H. Compton Of the University of Chi
cago.
By a special technique In which
X-rays were used instead of ordinary
light. DR.. Compton and his associate.
DR.. E. 0. Wollan were able to obtain
a visual image of the fundamental
unit Of matter, far beyond the range
Of the most powerful microscope and
so tiny that there are millions of
them in point of pin.
Hitherto perturbation of the atom
has been largely a matter of scientific
imagination based on deductions from
its behavior. The Xray pictures
showed the atoms of the rare gases
helium, neon and argon, to be just
about what the physicists had cal
culated.
Filled by Electricity.
The helium atom-next to hydro
gen the simplest in the universe-was
shown by the photographs to be "a
diffusely continuous region filled with
electricity" In the more complicated
neon and argon atoms the relative
positions of the outer electrons could
be distinguished.
The photographs confirmed the de-
ductions that the nucleus of the atom
was a positively charged region and
that around it. like planets around
the cun, revolved a number of mega
lively charged particles. These pho
tographs represent mans farthest
sensory advance into the region OF
the infinitely little which physicists
look upon as the ultimate reality be-
hind the diverse forms of all things
A formula for the universe was pre-
sented to the academy yesterday by
Sir Arthur Eddington, celebrated
British mathematician and relativist,
in an effort to bring about harmony
between the relativity theory of Elm
stein and the quantum theory of
Planck. The one deduced the exis-
tence Of mass from the structure Of
space itself. The other deduced the
electric charge from the same thing,
but each required a model slightly
different from the other Since there
Is only one universe, it was difficult
to conceive Of both being right. Yet
both seemed to work
The harmonization of the two hy-
potheses has engaged the attention of

science for the past 10 years, with Q
gradual approach toward a reconcilia-
ton. Sir Arthur wrote them both
into one formula-literally a cescrip-
ton OF all things in a dozen mathe-
matical symbols. But, 1t was ex-
planned, 1t is essentially untranslat-
able from mathematics into words.
The fuman body loses more than
half its heat by radiation, the Acad-
emy was told by Drs. Eugene F. Du
Bois and James D. Hardy of the
Russell Sage Institute, in the report
on study of extremely delicate meas
urements OF the surface temperature
OF the skin. The surprising fact found
was that the heat lost In this way
does not vary greatly in amount be-
tween conditions of health and fever.
The fever victim apparently Is storing
large amounts Of heat in the body for
short intervals.
Verification Of the hypothesis that
the germ Of poliomyelitis, or infantile
paralysis, gets into the nervous sys-
tenn only through the nose was offered
by DR.. Simon Flexner of the Rookie
feller Institute. Lower animals were
absolved by his experiments of the
charge of being carriers of the disease.
Feeding with the virus failed to pro-
duce the disease. 1t is spread. DR..
Flexner said, from individual to in
dlVldual through nose and throat Sc
cretions and its only portal of en-
trance Is along the pathway OF the
olefactory nerve leading to the CEN
traI nervous system.
Matter Transmitted.
The old dream of transmitting mat
ter-changing one element into an
other-has been realized at the Cali
fornia Institute Of Technology by the
use OF extremely powerful X-ray ap-
paratuS, 1t was announced BY DR..
Robert A. Millikan, but it is far from
practical for any but experimental
purposes. Carbon is bombarded with
the heavy radiation particles, but only
When there is a direct hit is a new
state of matter obtained-and the hits
are about one in billion shots"

emy last night five awards of the
academy were presented, two to

FAIR SEX RULES,
SAYS ROBBIE

Declaring that women have
played an important part in gov
erning nations throughout past
ages, Miss Frances Robinson, as
sistant to NRA Administrator
Hugh S. johnson, last night
asserted in a countrywide radio
broadcast that Federal affairs in
Washington today are being
handled principally by women.
She stated:
"Take our own Government
in Washington today. You will
find in practically every branch
Of government an able, con-
scientiOus woman who really
runs the particular office. She
rarely has a title. But she is
there Just the same, patiently
ably, self -effacingly perform
ing the service for which some
one else gets the salary and
the honor"
Urging that women support the
Blue Eagle, Miss Robinson said
that public opinion alone can
make the NRA a success, and
American women are the driving
force of public opinion"
