Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ

nR. R. A MILLIKAN, word-famous scientist who
~ first confirmed the existence Of the cosmic
rays thinks the year 1895 will see the end of the
argument over their nature.
Two schools Of thought have existed over the ma
ture OF cosmlc rays. One, headed in previous years
by DR.. Milllkan himself maintained that the RAYS
were rays of energy, photons to use the technical
name. The other headed by DR.. Arthur H. Compton
of the University of Chicago maintained that the
rays were charged particles
Within the last year it has become increasingly
evident, as pointed out by DR.. F. c. w. Swami of
the Bartol Research Foundation that what is
measured in cosnic ray detectors earth or in the
atmosphere not the original or primary rays
but secondary rays created by the impact of the Or
iginal rays with the atoms of the earth's atmos-
phere.
From experiments conducted by his colleagues,
notably DR.. T. H johnson, and from the records of
the last two stratosphere flights Dr. Swami is con-
WINGED that these secondary rays the ones measured
by the cosmic ray detectors charged particles.
CPEAKING before the American Association for
- the Advancement of Science in Pittsburgh
Dr. Millikan listed seven facts upon which he said
he and 80 per cent of the physicists would agree.
They may be condensed is follows:
The earth is bombarded from above by radia-
ton (the cosmic rays having penetrating power
from six to 100 times greater than the gamma rays
Of radum.
Cosmc rays come from beyond the Milky Way.
Cosmc ray detectors have measured charged
particles with energies rising to 10 billion eectron
volts.
We do not yet know how to account for the orr
gin Of particles Of such high charges.
7 EFT us go on with DR.. Millikan's points,
l. 1t is not yet decided whether the incoming rays
are all charged particles mixtures of charged
particles and photons.
The POSITIONS or positive electrons thus released
are transformed into photons energy rays by coll
hsions with negative electronss~
In addition to the foregoing believe nothing az
present bnt direct experimental evidence.

TN Great Britain the Medical Research Council
Il makes available each year an analysis of the
of radium.
When radium was first introduced by the CURES,
it seemed likely that it eventually would become
ceedinglv important in treatment of cancer. Such
expectations have been fulfilled.
Radium has not. however, developed into cure
all or method of treatment for all sorts of diseases
Indeed the limitations of its even in
beginning to be rather well defined
The most recent report from the British inveSti
gators inccates that radium has certain in each
form Of cancer cure in a case of cancer is be-
heved be instance in which the patient is alive
and free from cancer the end of five years after
the treatment is given.
IT must be remembered that persons with cancer
i are usually in their advanced years and that,
therefore their death rates from causes outside OF
cancer are high.
In cancer of the breast women. the evidence
indicates that the ideal treatment is surgical remov-
al followed by use of radium X-rays or of both,
if required In cancer of the tongue, the immediate
application of radium seems to be helpful but the
ultimate results are not exceedingly good
Unfortunately the results of surgery of cancer
of the tongue are also not very good. Cancer OF
the glands associated with cancer of the tongue
usually is treated by surgical removal with radium
THE most successful use Of radium seems to be in
i the early stages of cancer of the female
gans associated with childbirth. The results in such
cases are good In fact, radium seems to be help
ful even in those cases in which operation is i'm
possible.
In the meantime. further advances in use of
radum in various forms Of cancer depend on an
increase of knowledge to the nature of the action
of radium and OF Its particular effects various
types of growing cells in the human body

The resolution will come up in
the committee Wednesday and, in
his opinion, it will be voted out
without much loss of time. Nor,
he said, does he believe the neces-
sary two-thirds majority will be
lacking in the Senate to give it
quick passage.
From other sources it was
learned no additional reservations
are planned, but that the resOIu-
ton to be voted on will read ap-
proXimately as follows;
Resolved (tWo- thirds of the
Senators present concurring),
that the Senate advise and con-
sent to the adherence by the
United States to the said three
protocols-the one dated Dec. Is,
1920, and the other two each of
date Sept. IA, 1929-(without &C
cepting or agreeing to the optional
clause for compulsory jurisdic-
tom"
The three protocols in question
have to do first, with the statute
of the court itself, framed in 1920
by committee of jurists includ-
ing Elihu Root; secondly, a subse-
quent revision of this statute and,
lastly, the accession of the United
States.

INFORMATION to date is that
i Congress will;
l. Provide relatively large
relief-work, rehef-public works
appropriation.
2. Experiment gingerly with
social security.
8. Pass full soldier bonus pay
ment over a veto-Or perhaps
accept a compromise which
won't give the veterans so
much.
4. Provide for permanent NRA,
retaining the present essential
features, but dropping certain
past practices.
5. Pass collective bargaining and
other legislation which may be
more pro-labor than the Ad-
miniStration desires.
6. Go easy on new tax legisla-
ton.
7. Pass minor, but significant
banking measures.
8. Consider, but perhaps not leg
islate, a transportation pro-
gram involving regulation of
BUSES and trucks.
9. Provide easier credit for small
industries.
10. Adopt munitions manufacture

out-ofwar" legislation.
II. Act to build up the Navy.
II. Ratify the st. Lawrence
waterway treaty.
10. Sock the power trust" when
ever it gets a chance.
IA. Provide for a new National
Planning Board as recon-
mended by the National Re-
sources Board.
IS. And do few other things you
don't now expect.
On the Job for this are SO Demo-
Gratis, 25 Republicans, one Pro-
greSsive, and one Farmer-Laborite
in the Senate and 322 Democrats,
103 Republicans, seven Progress
s,ives, and three Farmer-Laborites
in the House.
AS compared with past years,
the Republican opposition is al
most insignificant and many of
its members are inclined to go
along with the President
Factors most likely to make for
discord are a smaller amount of
patronage to hand to Democrats
patronage being something of
club-and an unusual amount of
progresSivism, especially in the
Senate, which frequently outruns
the liberalism of Mr.. Roosevelt.
The election was a great RooSe-
welt victory, but there were strong
indications that many voters felt
the New Deal still too closely re-
sembled the Old Deal. This feeling
will be reflected especially by the
Senate progreSSives, members of
all parties, who include the ableSt
leaders in Congress and are a
more potential source of trouble to
Roosevelt than the regular Re-
publicanS.

DY accepting the protocol Of
- Dec. Is, 1920, the United
States merely agrees to become a
member of the court. 1t does not
accept compulsory jurisdiction
thereof.
The protocol of Sept. IA, 1929,
amends the original statute for all
members, while the second pro-
tocol of the same date sets forth
the special reservations govern
ing adherence by the United
States.
The original protocol has been
signed by SIS states, including al
most all the important nations.
OF these 40 have ratified.
The State Department, it is I'M
derstood, ha~ given the resolution
its approval.
Thus, after IS years, the United
States apparently is on the point
of joining the rest of the world in
the permanent Court of Interna-
tional Justice. The court begins
it's 34th session on Feb. /.
A THOUGH America has never
L n been a member, the court has
never been without an Ameri-
can judge. John Bassett Moore
was elected Judge in 1921; Charles
Evans Hughes, now Chief Justice
of the United States, succeeded
him. Chief Justice Hughes was
followed by Frank B. Kellogg,
former secretary of state. Mr.. Kel-
logg is still at The Hague, seat of
the court.
Membership under the reserva-
tons specified in the protocols
would not confer upon the court
jurisdiction over disputes to which
the United States may be or
claims TO be a party. Nor would
the United States be dragged be-
fore it against its will. 1t may
use the court or not, as it sees
fit.
About the only obligation i'm
posed upon the United States will
be to help pay the expenses Of the
court. These amount to about
100000 year. Americas share
assuming she would pay the same
amount as other large nations
would be to about $4,000 annually.
Every President since, and in
GLIDING President Harding has
strongly advocated membership
in the court.

replied. But who's in trouble?"
I'm in trouble myself" said
Shipstead. Terrible trouble. It's

"You mean to say they've got
you for liquor violation? Good
Lord! I thought we'd repealed
that law"
Shipstead shook his head. We'll,
there's still that provision about
shipping across state lines, you
know"
McCarran shook his head COM
passionately. That's so. Well,
now, what can I do about it?
Shipstead looked around the
room carefully. Then, in whis-
per, he confided:
THE best thing you can do to
help is to come up to my place
tomorrow night and help drink
up the evidence. How about it?"

VXTASHINGTON, Jan. THE
w 74th Congress has only the
haziest notion of what it may be
doing before it gets through.
The shadow of the depression
and its unemployed still hangs
over the New Deal.
The extent TO which this shadow
is dissipated or accentuated gov
ems Congress. For that factor
can not but determine the course
of President Roosevelt, the ring
master, who now is hoping that
recovery can be assured without
new and drastic experiments.
This is the first American Con-
gress to meet in regular session
in less than Is months after its
election-thanks to the Norris
lame duck amendment. 1t was
elected in November in an I'M
precedented popular reputation
of what has come to be called the
"cld deal" and its candidates.
Because it arrives fresh from
the campaigns with election
promises still on its lips, and be-
cause its constituents seem more
articulate than ever before as TO
their wants, the 74th Congress is
perhaps closer to the people than
any other in history.
You have, in fact, a Congress
which is:
l. Extraordinarily suspectible to
popular pressure.
2. Committed as never before
to following a President who him
self is keenly sensitive to the
popular mood.
3. Unusually immune to the
pressure of big business" and
high finance" elements which so
often had the last word on legis-
lation in the past.
Mr.. Roosevelt probably will keep
the boys pretty well under con-
troll. When he doesn't, you can
be fairly sure it's because he isn't
saying what the folks back home
are saying.
Even before the session, those
folks back home had achieved a
couple of large pieces of legisla-
ton which apparently hadn't been
planned by the President. The
Home Owners Loan Corp. had
barred further applications for
loans on homes and was about
to fold up. The President him.
self had expressed doubt whether
the time was ripe for any old
age pension legislation.
Well. if you had seen the stacks
of mail that piled up on congress
sional desks and in the White
House Offices you would know
exactly why there's certainly 60
ing to be old-age security legiS-
lation and at least billion dol
lars more for home loans.

There is powerful industrial
pressure for such a law. The
National Manufacturers Associa-
ton is openly advocating it.
What the unionists fear most
is that the employers will demand
a concession if Section IA is
strengthened.
Labor wants this bitterly con-
troverSial statute fortified, par
ticularly TO ban company unions.
1t wants the majority rule inter-
probation Of the National Labor
Relations Board, in effect, writ
ten into the law.
There is a reasonably good
chance of winning this demand.
But in return labor may have to
give ground on unrestricted direct
action. This its leaders are much
opposed to doing.
