PERUCOSM|cRAY
50 PCT. WEAKER
Flyer Scientist Asks for
Stratosphere Balloon
After High Flight.

BY the Associated Press.
LIMA, November 16.-A weakness
In cosmic rays over Peru Is reported
by Prof. s. A. Korf Of California
Institute of Technology, who this
week flew with his cosmic instruments
to new altitude record for Peru of
26,500 feet.
He sent long communication to
California Institute Of Technology re-
questing authorization to make an
ascension over Lima in an American
made stratosphere balloon. He said
he would like to start at the earliest
date possible.
Mondays flight was in a plane pi-
loted by Lieut.. Col. Baltasar Of the
Peruvian Air Corps and j. F. Jardine,
Q United States commercial pilot.
30 Per Cent Weaker.
Prof. Korh said that at 10000 feet
he found the cosmic rays more than
80 per cent weaker than at similar
attitudes in California and Canada.
At sea level here he found them per
cent weaker than in those two higher
attitudes.
Lima Is 300 miles south OF the equa-
tor, but within the tropical belt where
some scientists have said cosmic rays
should not be so numerous as nearer
the poles.
This difference is not ascribed to
higher temperatures Of the tropics,
but to the earth's magnetic field. Un-
der the theory that the rays are high
ly charged electrical particles they
would tend to be detected from the
equator toward the earth's magnetic
poles.
DR.. Compton's Findings Cited.
A weakening Of cosmic rays, such as
Prof. Korf finds here, has been re-
ported previously for regions near the
equator. DR.. Arthur H. Compton Of
the University Of Chicago recently
cited these previous findings in sup
port Of the idea that the rays are
electrified particles.
Other explanations are possible, and
the ultimate solution hinges partly on
measuring the rays all the way to the
top OF the atmosphere, or as close
thereto as stratosphere balloons can
rise.

WAGNER BILL
GAINS SUPPORT
OF A. F. OF |.
Action on Measure Will Be
Pressed in Both
Houses.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. March 2.-Sena-
tor Wagner's bill to equalize bar
gaining power between employees and
employers, outlaw company unions
and set up a permanent national
labor board, will be pressed at once
in both houses of congress, with ac-
tive support Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor.
Chairman William p. COnnery of
the house labor committee intro
duced the bill amended in minor
particulars last night. He plans to
seek action by his committee next
week Immediately after the ex-
pected favorable report on the Con-
merry thirty-hour work week bill.
Chairman David 7. Walsh of the
senate education and labor commit
tee announced hearings will be
called, probably within ten days.
He is understood to favor the bill s
purpose and his committee has a
majority favorable to such a meas
ure
Ofetn approves measure
President William Green of the
American Federation Of Labor
promptly approved the measure. He
said: Senator Wagner has done a
great public service in introducing
this legislation The American Fed
Grafton of Labor will actively sup
port it. IN fact we were consulted
in its drafting"
Labor Secretary Frances Perkins
probably will be called before both
committees. Her department is un-
derstoOd to favor the measure.
Senator Wagner will confer next
week with President Roosevelt, who
is said to be sympathetic with the
bills aims.
Meanwhile, the outstanding ex-
ample of the need for such legiSla-
ton, the Weirton Steel case, was
before the justice department for
action, with prosecution for viola
ton OF the recovery act indicated.
Workers Grow Restless
A previous citation against Presi-
dent E. T. Weir of the National
Steel Corporation did not result in
prosecution, but this time it fol-
lows unsuccessful attempts by Pres
ident Roosevelt and others to obtain
compliance with the recovery acts

The growing unrest among work
ers because of employers refusal to
deal with their unions flared out
meanwhile in strikes in many in
dustrial sections. One strike is di-
rected against the Mellon -dominat-
ed Aluminium Company of America s
plant at New KenSingtOn. Pa. and
an American Federation of Labor
union called on workers of other
aluminium company plants to join.
Other strikes were in autOmo-
bile plants, laundries and cleaning
and dyeing plants-moSt of them
illustrative Of the myriad of COM
plants made by workers to NRA
against low wages, chiseling under
codes, and refusal by employers to

Entire
Budd Wheel
Night Shift
Fire 800 at Chevrolet
Plant Two on
Monday

DETROIT, May e.-The entire
night shift of the Budd Wheel Com
pany was discontinued yesterday,
most Of the workers being laid off
while some were transferred to the
day shift. Layoffs are also incrsas-
ing at the Chevrolet, Midland Steel
Products, and other plants. On
Monday, 300 we're laid off at Plant
2 Of Chevrolet alone. The layoffs
are being used by the companies
to speed up the remaining workers
in order to maintain production.
The Auto Workers Union is issu-
ing leaflets at various shops calling
on the workers to demand two
weeks lay off pay and the passage
Of the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill (H. R. 7598).
In order to prevent any struggle
against the lay offs, the Detroit
News yesterday carried a 'front.'
page story from Washington with
the headline: Act to cut lay offs
in auto industries" The story,
which is in the form of an inter-
view with Gen. johnson, is actually
a rehaSh Of a similar piece that ap-
peared in the Detroit Times over
a month ago. At that time it was
as an interview with DR.. Leo VOL
man. chairman of the Automobile
Labor Board. The Detroit News ar
ticle is thinly- concealed manufac-
turers' propaganda, talking vaguely
about steps that are discussed even
more vaguely to eliminate seasonal
unemployment. johnson cited two
so-called plans which are being
considered" % The elimination
of auto shows and the bringing out
of new models in the late Summer
and early Fall; % The staggering
announcement of new models by six
companies over the entire year.
It is clear that these plans even
if put into operation, will not in
crease employment but are intended
to stagger the work in an effort to
prevent any organized struggle
against the layoffs.
The interview with johnson also
quotes him as saying that the
Works Councils proposed by Roose-
velt in the auto settlement is the
only Set-up which the N. r. A. pro-
vides for, while the majority rule
scheme which the National Labor
Board had been using to fool the
workers is illegal under the N. r. A.
johnson thus reaffirms the govern
ments stamp Of approval on the
company union plan which was ac-
cepted by the A. F. of L. officials.
The Detroit capitalist press to-
day played up the statement of
Secretary of Labor Perkins, who
joined the campaign to smash the
growing struggles of the auto
workers against layoffs. Perkins
statement, issued in Washington
on the heels of a similar state
ment of Gen. johnson, makes the
demagogic claim that spreading
production over the entire year
would solve the unemployment
problem. Just like johnson, this
darling of liberals lodges burning
issues of layoff, pay and unem-
ployment insurance, as well as
terrific apeed-up which is con-
stantly squeezing workers out of
jobs.

Capitalist Press
Again InCiteS Race
Hatred With Lies
''NegroAttack'' onWhite
Woman Like Central
Park Fake

NEW YORK, May 9.--That the
capitalist press is again inciting race
hatred is seen In the sensational
stories being carried today about a
Negro gorilla man" and hammer
man" who is accused of assault1ng
Mrs. Angelina Barbieri of "a Flush
ing Ave, Brooklyn.
The stories are reminiscent OF the
Central Park blood-curdling of the
newspapers less than a year ago,
when a n-existent Negro was ac-
cused of having attacked a number
of women. Innocent Negro workers
were dragged in and beaten by the
police for the benefit of the boss
controlled press. A series OF ter
roristic campaigns was begun by the
police against all Negroes who ven
tured in or near Central Park. In
the end the police were forced to
admit, by the International Labor
Defense and the League of Struggle
for Negro Rights. that the story was
a whole fabrication. engineered in
the back-rooms OF the Police De-
partment. These organizations
forced the Commissioner to apologize
publicly for the murderous scheme.
The attack on Mrs Barbieri is re-
ported as the third one to have been
committed. 1t bears all the ear
marks of the traditional frame-ups
of southern rapes.
A radio alarm has been broadcast
and 35 detectives have been or
dered, according to the newspapers,
to search for the "attacker" The
Negro and white workers must see
to it that the bosses police do not
use the Negroes of Brooklyn as they
did their New York brothers when
the last attacks" were broadcast.
