COUNCIL ADOPTS
RESOLUTION ON
STREET REPAIR
RESUBMITS PROJECT OF OIL
ING AND SANDING TO CIVIL
WORKS ADMINISTRATION
AT TALLAHASSEE

City council, at special meet
ing held yesterday, adopted reso-
luton resubmitting the project of
oiling and sanding the streets of
Key West to the Civil Works Ad-
ministration at Tallahassee.
The same action was taken at a
special meeting of the county COM
missioners relative to the boule-
ward project and the necessary
papers from both bodies were
turned over to w. w. Demeritt,
director of CWA projects, and for
warded from his office to the
capital in the mail yesterday.
Both of the papers for resub-
mission set forth that there are
no funds available in either city
or county to do this, and both pro-
jects embrace work to be done
for the general good of the COM
munity.
Both of these projects were dis
approved by the federal engineer
who was in Key West two weeks
ago, and they have been the sub
ject of a great deal of discussion
since.
Of such Importance are they
that Representative William v.
Albury went to Tallahassee to
take up these matters and find
means to have them continue.
In Tallahassee he met with the
heads of the CWA and was given
the assurance that the matter
would be taken up with Harry
Hopkins, head of the administra-
tion in Washington, he to be ask
ed that the work be allowed to
continue.
After due consideration had
been given, the local body was adj
vised to have the projects result
mitted with certain notifications
relative to cost of material and
labor.
This was at once attended to
and the resolutions Of city council
and county commissioners added
to the application made by the
local council of the CWA will. it
is believed. be needed by CWA
heads and the projects granted as
revised.

made preparations to start
a fire in the stove.
The wood was placed and
gasoline poured over it and
a match applied.

If Ten Million Blocks Hit You,
Look Out! It's A NeutrOn Ray
By w. A. WELLS
Try AsaOcInted Press)

BERKELEY, Cal. Jan. "a
The ray that is made of blocks
but goes through lead like light
through glass-this describes the
remarkable range of powers of
the new neutron ray at the Uni
versity of California.
The ray YVES produced by two
young physicists, Prof. E. d. Law
renee and DIR. M. Stanley Living
ston.
1t is a spray of neutrons, TO-
100000 of them a second, pro-
duced in quantity for the first
time. Neutrons are material par
ticles, variously likened by scien-
lists to "billiard balls" and "build-
ing blocks"
Revealed By Fireworks
They are among the recently
discovered ultimate particles"
out of which the mysterious nuclei
of atoms are made. Although no
neutron. or no neutron ray, has
ever been visible, their presence
is revealed by the atomic "fire-
works" they cause.
They can disrupt the nucleus of
an atom more easily than any
other form of energy known to
science. But, by contrast, they
sometimes join up with an atom
to build it into something heavier
than before the neutron hit it.
Strangest of all, although they
have a known weight 1900 times
that of an electron, they pierce
the heaviest shields, such as lead.
Made In Vacuum Tube
They are more penetrating than
either X-rays or radium. The new
ray here, although only the first
tiny stream of these particles to
be brought outside a vacuum tube,
has energy equivalent to that of
about a milligram of radium.
1t is produced in a metal vacu-
UNI tube, shaped like a pill-box
and set between the two poles of
an 85-ton magnet. In this mag
netic field the nuclei of deuton
atoms, or heavy hydrogen, are set
to whirling with speeds equal to
100000 volts. These speeding
particles smash against a metal
barrier, and in the resulting debris
appear countless numbers of neu-
irons. A lead shield confines all
these particles, except the neu-
irons, which pass through like bull
lets in cardboard.
Pass Through Lead Window
Through lead window in the
metal vacuum tube the new ray
sprays out into the laboratory
One of the first problems will be
screening it for safety. 1t spreads
like the light of a lantern. Shields
which would confine X-rays to a
beam in one direction fail to inn
prison the neutrons.
That they are dangerous to the
human body is shown by their
descriptive action on hydrogen,
which constitutes a large part of
the body. being one of the two
constituents of water.
1t has been calculated that
neutron ray viii penetrate the
body more easily than X-rays. and
that it may possess therapeutic
possibilities like both X-rays and
radium.
Aluminium and lithium bonn
barded with neutrons at the Uni
versity of California, have come
out with increased atomic weight,
due to neutrons joining up with
atomic nuclei.

Business Leaders Of Nation End Session
Adopt Resolutions That Cover Whole Field of Industry

freely to place private capital in the investment field"
 'The balancing of. the federal budget will provide confidence, stimulate private initiative and in- crease opportunities for private employment" said the resolution handled by local agencies with the on relief which it said should be aid of civic minded citizens.
 On unemployment insurance, the conference said "unsound legisla- tion at this time would prejudice the possibility of securing satis- factory solution in the future" It argued there is plenty of time for study as no plan of unemployment reserves can help solve the im- mediate problem. "A committee should be created by business to study the practica- bility of a comprehensive program of social security adaptable to American conditions, giving inn mediate attention to unemploy- ment reserves and old-age pen sions," the resolution said.
 This study, it was urged, should pay particular attention to work ing out a system "that will not re- move the incentive to work"
 On industrial relations, the con- ference recognized necessity for "a wage schedule which compen- sates the worker fairly" But 1t said proposed 30-hour week bills and other arbitrary limits on wages and hours ignore the principle that Tabor cannot share what is not produced" and would increase prices to consumers.
 Employers and employees should be free to bargain collectively or individually in such forms as are mutually satisfactory to them without coercion from any source, it was declared.
 This was a slap at the effort of the national labor relations board to establish the policy that repre- sentatives of majority in a given plant should bargain for all the workers.
 The conference called for out lawing of general strikes or lock- outs, blacklists and boycotts. It insisted that labor be protected in it's right not to strike and not to join unions, as well as in its right to do so.

White Sulphur Springs. W. Va, Dec 20-UP)-The joint confer ence of American business leaders yesterday called for balanced federal budget and early return of the relief burden to the states as points in a program for "unselfish cooperation" of industry, agricul- ture and labor toward national re- covery.
 "There Is ample work to be done to require the employment of all the labor now idle and the use of all the capital that may be available" the conference said in resolution outlining the problem now before American business.
 "The need for goods of every description is daily growing more ng-accumulating unsatisfisd requirements will test the resource fulness of our industries for years to come.
 with this goal so clearly before us, 1t is inconceivable that a way will not be found to release our halting national energies and bend our efforts to its achievement"
 In summary, the resolutions passed by the conference:.
 l. Proposed return as soon as possible of the relief burden to the states, with local agencies handling, aided by "civic-minded" citizens.
 2. Urged balancing of the fed- eral budget.
 8. Recommended proper work ing conditions and a wage scale fairly compensating the worker, but opposed 30-hour week. 4. Opposed federal attempts to control local labor-industry rela- tions problems. Contended labor bargaining should be under any mutually" satisfactory system. thus striking at NRA's famous sec- tion "A.
 5. Demanded protection for men who want to work as we'll as those who strike; urged outlawing of general strikes or lockouts.
 Federal public works to provide emergency jobs, the business lead CTS said, invites waste and in- definitely defers a balance in the budget" They urged return of the relief burden to states as soon as possible.
 The leaders of the country's in- dustry and finance, meeting to for mulate a joint program to lay be- fore the administration, summar- ized their findings in 2,000 words of resolutions.
 They reported "the most effec- tive solution of the problem of unemployment and relief is the creation of confidence between in- dustry and the government that business can proceed with plans to develop new industries, to en- large existing enterprises and

 Yesterdays Meeting

Official retirement of the popular Patrolman John Marshall McMahon who has been disabled for some time and who requested the action, was voted yesterday afternoon by the board of police commissioners. The board placed McMahon's name on the retired list, stipulating that he begin receiving half-pay next Thursday.
 A request from former Super- numerary Nicholas Monzelle, who resigned from the force last win ter when he had apparently reached the age limit of 40 years of age, that he be reinstated be- cause he has found that he has not yet reached 40, was referred to the committee on men and discipline.
 Supernumerary Manzelle wrote to the board that since his resigna- ton last January. he has received a copy of his birth certificate from Italy showing that he will not be 40 until March of next year. He pointed out that he had been on the police force since 1921, serving as regular for some time though listed only as a Bupernumefafy.
