GREATEST GLASS
 REFLECTOR WAS
 POURED SUNDAY
Will Be Used in Largest Telescope World Has
 Ever Known

Corning, N. Y., March 26-- (UP)-The glass reflector for the worlds largest telescope, by means of which scientists hope to wiring new secrets from distant spaces of the universe, was placed in an annealing oven today to be cooled.
 Several minor mishaps occurred during the pouring at the Corning Glass Works yesterday, but Dr John c. Hostetter, who directed the process, did not believe any thing had harmed the mirror. It win be ten months or more, how ever, before scientists will be able to say definitely whether the glass was poured successfully.
 The bottom of the 17-foot mold contained number of hemi- spherical cores designed to leave holes in the back surface of the mirror so as to tighten the 20-ton mass. After about half the glass had been poured several of the cores worked loose from the bot tom and could be seen floating OF the surface of the molten glass.
 Hostetter said the loose cores would be fished out and the glass allowed to cool without them. Af- ter the cooling is completed, the disc will be drilled with holes to correspond fo the cores left out.
 The molten, white-hot borosili. cate glass vii lbe kept at a tenn perature of 2,400 degrees Fahren- heit until any bubbles or imDerfec- tions rise to the surface. Then 1t will be cooled by imperceptfble degrees. It will be ready for re- moval from the mold about 10 months from now. Only then will 1t be known definitely whether the pouring was successful.
 The glass will be ground into q mirror at the optical shops of the California Institute of Technology. The huge lens, almost twice the size of the largest now In use, will have light gathering power ap- proximately ten times greater than the Mt Wilson observatory re- Hector.
 If every step of the process Is successful 1t will be about three years before the mirror Is ready for use.
 The pouring was witnessed by 1000 persons, including distin- guished 3saientists. The molten glass, about the consistency of taffy, came out of the furnace at q temperature of 2,800 degrees. Trained workmen, using 400 pound ladies, poured the white-hot sub stance through a fire brick "bee- hive" into the mold. The operation required about 10 hours.

TOM CONNALLY PROPOSES NEW
 CURRENCY BILL
Senator From Texas Would Force Disgorging
 of All Illicit Wealth

Washington, Mar 26-(UP)-Re- call of outstanding currency under conditions which would realize q profit for the government, force possessors of illicit wealth to dis gorge, and possibly aid in detec- tion of the Lindbergh Kidnapping was proposed today by Senator Tom Conally, d., Tex.
 Connally told the United Press he intended to prepare legislation bill would fix a time limit, prob- ing currency would cease to be negotiable.
 Prior to expiration of the time changed with out penalty for bills date, exchange would be subject to 6 progressively increasing discount.
 The, United Press was informed that under a currency-recall pro- gram some margin of profit would accrue to the government and banks which now carry as obliga- bills. Of this aggregate obligation SOInC ndS pCEh .ioot VI oS- stroyed The difference between what actually was turned in and the aggregate obligations carried on treasury and bank books repre- sent, potential gain for the issu- ing agency.
 Connally said the currency recall suggestion came from Frank G. Huntress, San Antonio, Tex, pub- fisher.
 He pointed out that the most promising clue to the Lindbergh Kidnapping is the ransom money which the United States secret ser vice encounters from time to time as it is put into circulation. So far the Lindbergh ransom money has appeared a bill or two at time. If the bulk of 1t was suddenly forced into circulation the chances of detection would be materially in crea sed

The new 6O0-gallon seagrave fire pump which was recently or dered by the local fire department following a special vote by the freemen is on it's way to the bor- ough and will arrive probably at the end of the week, Fire Chief Thomas Walker to-day announced. Fire Chief Walker received word from the Seagrave Company that the new machine, which is expect cd to be the last word in machines of it's type. was shipped last Thurs day from Columbus. Ohio.
 The new machine is expected to be a considerable improvement over the present one. The need of a new machine became apparent when the engine base of the form- CT pump became cracked. The old machine has since been used but it is the belief of fire officials here that 1t may go bad at any time.
