promises to explain the true nature
of earth disturbances, the crustal
movement appearing to extend
along the edges of the skinless
areas"
The theory that the Pacific's
missing skin is now the moon was
offered by other scientists. They
speculated that it peeled off when
the earth was still hot, whirled in
to space and spun itself into ball.
Dr.. Gutenberg. whose discovery
was credited with greatly aiding
earthquake research, predicted:
I'VE shall never be able to pre-
dict the day on which an earth
quake will occur, but it is possible
that we shall be able to set the
date to within two years or So
May Become Star
A startling theory that the earth
is growing hotter, and possibly may
become a blazing star in time, was
advanced by DR.. Bailey Willis, 78-
year-old Stanford university scien-
tiSt.
He expressed belief that the
earth was much colder in its youth
but is warming up due to the dance
of the atmos in its core-which is
already completely melted for a
diameter of 1000 miles.
The molten core, he said, is prov
en- by the failure of earthquake
waves to penetrate it as they do the

ITALY SPURNS
BRITISH PLAN

LONDON, June 26. U.R)-British
efforts to mediate in the threaten
ed war between Italy and Abyssin-
ia have received a severe set back,
reliable informants said today, and
the threat Of hostilities is more SER
ious.
Italian Premier Benito Mussolini,
it was said, intimated to Anthony
Eden, British cabinet envoy sent to
Rome, that he would reject the
offer of British influence to exact
important concessions from Abys-
sinia.
Mussolini, it was said, demanded
an Italian protectorate for the en-
pire. including the installation of
italian government officials at
Adds Ababa, the capital.
Eden was understood to have
pleaded vainly that an Italian war
in East Africa would hinder full
italian cooperation in European
problems, and that a military cam
paign against a fellow league mem
Der would have a devastating moral
effect on the world.

A Work of Salvage.
tNew York 'rimes.)

The President appears to be acting discreetly in the matter of saving what he of MIRA. He is not asking impossible things of Congress It was well known, in fact even before the Supreme Court decision that extensive revisions of the National Recovery Act were being prepared for submittion the House. Some of these, it may be, will be found available now The main thing is that MT Roose- welt and his advisers seem to be proceeding in an unemotional way. They know that some of their measures must be rewritten in order to conform to the decision of the Supreme Court This is not an exciting form of work, but it is now necessary Senator Borah argued that the Administration could really find in the Constitution as it is and as it has now been interpreted by the Supreme Court. sufficient power to do most of the things it has proposed. They will have to be changed in form but good deal of the substance may be preserved The bills may retain the same titles, but their phrasing will have to be altered in important par ticuars if it is really desired to make them accept able to the Supreme Court
 Salvage work of this kind has little of romance about it. No occasion is furnished by it for grand gestures and heroic appeals. It is inevitably of a slow and piecemeal nature. Yet is may be all the better and more lasting for that Quite outside of anything that MT. Roosevelt may propose or Con- gress may do there is actually going on a quiet reconstruction of NFA It is done voluntarv hy many large corporations who have announced that their schedules of hours and wages will not be changed even if the existing Recovery Act exnres on June 16. In this particular many smaller indus tries as well as the bigger ones have been acting in publc-sprited way. Their decisions are not final and cannot run to the end of time but they wisely tentative and experimental Later shall all know where we stand Inst now there is little to do except to cooperate with tha President in seeking to retain the demonstrated benefits of MIRA without trying to hold on to its harmful and discredted features

LINDY, THE SCIENTIST.

As time goes on it is more and clearly Lindbergh who hopped solo across the Atlantic a few years ago to win undying fame equipped with something besides a flare for glory and lot of luck. The Colonel Lndbergh is presented having turned scientist and co-operated in bring ing about development that may prove of untold benefit to mankind
 Never has any had greater opportunity to be publicity fool than the and only Lindy, but has he ventured in that direction Hurled into bedlam of acclaim such as no individual in modern times has achieved after his remarkable flight, the then young mail pilot kept his head and has continued to keep it. Movie offers, chances to sponsor this and that all were tossed aside and the flier let it be known that his only interest at the time aviation And he stuck with it in the face of terrible odds. He became the outstanding in aviation despite the hand- caps which he had to hurdle because of his Atlantic flight
 He has been the victim of one of the most carried on, established air routes and now probably to provide outlet for his great energy, has turned to science where already he is credited with having part in great discovery.
 What glorious fool he might have been but what real man he has turned to be? Luck but it longer be denied that he has an unusually large store of good and the quality for knowing how to it.

SENATOR BORAH SUPPORTS NEW
 TAX ON WEALTH
Now Fighting for Plan Are Given
 Encouragement

WASHINGTON, June 24-United States Senator William E. Borah's declaration that President Roose- velt's proposals for new taxation on wealthy was sound in prin- ciple.' lent encouragement to a group of Legislators fighting to put such a plan across this session.
 The group gave notice that un- less the Administration pressed a separate bill this session for the Roosevelt program they would force the issue by offering it as a rider to the pending nuisance taxes reso- lution.
 Senator La Toilette, in the group, said he was encouraged over the outlook, especially since SenatHr Borah came out for the inheritance tax.
 Senator Borah described the pro- pcsals as mot only sound econ cmically but sound in morals" He said he did not see them as a soak at the rich or the share of wealth idea but as a share of the burden of the Government pro- gram.

THE HIGHWAY MOVES AHEAD.

Preliminary action toward construction of the International Highway moves forward a pace President Roosevelt gives his public approval the project at the time suggesting that the two million dollar appropriation for construction of the Alaska section be removed from the bill which Delegate Dimond has before Congress
 The inference left by the Chief Executives sug gestion is that funds for building the road from Fairbanks to the Canadian line might be made available from Public Works relief funds.
 When application for a portion of the four billion dollars Public Works funds for Alaska made by Territorial and Government officials here an item of two million for the highway plan was included but thus far no indications have been forthcoming that it would be in the appropriation which is expected to be allotted the Alaska Road Commission for carrying road and arplane field construction within the Territory although $2048- 900 for other roads and s37 900 for air field deve opment have been given mention due for prob able acceptance.
 The present suggestion of the President thus lends support to the idea that the Alaska section of the International Highway has not been for gotten Rather, it would appear, that the road may figure the outstanding road development in the Territory much than anticipated
 Coupled with the public Presidential approval and the apparent serious consideration to plan for construction by Canadian officials the future for the great highway looks brighter than at any time thus far. While British Columbia authorities indicate that they will turn thumbs down any plan to make land grants ot companies for build ing the road within their borders used to be the custom in the old days of the West as the railroads pushed toward the Pacific the fact that member of the B. C. Legislative Assembly has gone to Washington and conferred with the President is indicative of definite progress The International Highway is no longer a dream but road program that eventually will be carried out linking Alaska with continental United States and perhaps bring ing the Territory Statehood much than the 60O00 of us living here anticipate
