ATOM SMASHER
READYFOR USE
DR.. M. A. TUVE

An atom, sounds like something
pretty small-in fact, it is some
thing small-but it takes a. mil
lion volts of electricity, or maybe
more. to smash it.
DR.. John A. Fleming, director
of the department of terrestrial
magnetism of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition, revealed today that ap-
paratus has been set up in his
laboratories to develop the mil
lion volts, sufficient, he thinks.
to smash the atom to bits and
give science a chance to get at
the nucleus.
It's highly important that the
atom be taken apart, according
to scientists, but DR.. Fleming did
not venture a guess as to what
practical use could be made of
the pieces.

SIGN OATH BILL,
LEGION ASKS

EVANSVILLE, Md, April 4.
Anticipating an attempt by
members Of the University of
Maryland faculty to protest to
Governor Nice against his sign
ing the teachers oath bill, re-
Gently passed by the Legislature,
the Snyder-Farmer Legion Post
here last night agreed to petition
the governor to sign the bill.
Legionnaires decided to count
eract any move such as the
faculty of Johns Hopkins is said
to be considering, that of pro-
testing the bill to the governor
in body.
The post acted when members
learned that after an all-day can
vass of the university faculty by
a Legionnaire, only six would sign
a petition approving the bill.
The post decided not to Off
cially participate in the Army Day
parade in Washington and named
Vice Commander j. j. Buckley
chairman of the Memorial Day
program committee. An invita-
ton will be sent all Legion posts
nearby to join with the Snyder
Farmer Post in exercises at the

LOOMS OND, c,
FUND BOOST
Rep. BIanton's Declarations
Presage House Fight to
Slash Appropriation

Beloved references to the &C
ton OF members of the District
subcommittee of the Senate Ap'
preparations Committee made yes
terday on the floor of the House
by Representative Thomas l..
Blanton CD, Texas, were believed
today to be warning that the
present supply bill reported to
the Senate with a total of 3d.
452.215 higher than that written
in by the House was doomed to
a bitter fight.
Although Senator Elmer Thomas
Cd, Of Oklahoma, chairman of
the present Senate subcommit-
tee, and Senator Pat McCarran
CD, Nevada, strong adherent of
q plan for the Federal Govern
ment to spend even more money
in the city than it does now,
would not issue any direct reply
to Representative Blanton, they
said they would stick by their
guns.
Battle Foreseen
Representative Blanton'S utter
ancss presage a stormy battle in
conference when the bill is passed
by tn Senate. He referred to
the fight on the District bill in
the Seventy-second Congress when
Senator Hiram Bingham, then
chairman of the Senate subcom.
mittee, announced that if Con-
gress didn't give the District &c.
100000 of Federal funds, there
wouldn't be any bill.
Representative Blanton said the
Congress passed out of the session
without any bill and that when
the people of Connecticut dis
covered that Senator Bingham
was paying more attention to
the District than he was to Con-
necticut, he was not returned in
the next election.
From time to time, during his
speech a majority of those pres
ent applauded vigorously. If this
is to be taken as a sign of the
temper of the House, little hope
can be held that the generous ap-
preparations for more police, more
schools and similar increases in
other local departments will
weather the attacks certain to
come.
Carries Larger Sum
The present bill, which will
come up for consideration in the
Senate within the next few days,
carries an increased lump sum
appropriation from the Federal
Government from $5,700,0OO writ
ten in by the budget bureau to
$8,317,50O.
This provision will be subjected
to a concentrated putsch by Rep
resentative Blanton and Repre-
sentative Clarence Cannon Cd,
Missouri, who is chairman of the
House subcommittee, in confer
ence and will be further attacked
on the floor by members who are
determined to stick to budget
figures.

BY LOUIS E. WHITE

Encouragement was given advU-
Gates of the proposal to abolish

today with the announcement Of
Senator William H. King (DJ, of
Utah, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, that he approves
of the measure.
The bill yesterday was ordered
favorably reported by the Senate
District Committee without a dis
senting vote, and probably will be
taken up in the House within the
next two weeks.
When the proposition was first
introduced in the House consid-
cradle opposition was expressed
by members in both the House
and Senate, as we'll as by District
Commissioner George E. Allen.
Only Allen Remains
However, since that time, a
large part of the DIRECTORS have
been won over, although Com
missioner Allen has stood stead.
tasty by his original position.
Today's expression by the Sem
ate District Committee chairman
has materially raised the hopes Of
supporters of the measure, since
it was believed that the Senate
District Committee might kill it.
Senator King said today:
IT am inclined to be in favor
of the bill. think the mixing
of the drinks should be in the
open where people can see
what they are getting.
SAY DREGS USED
II have had a number Of
complaints presented to me to
the effect that the drinks do
not contain what they are sup
posed to, and that dregs of
drinks left on tables have been
used in the making of other
drinks.
eff we are going to permit
the serving Of liquor, I feel
that the people should be per-
mitted to see what they are get.
ting and to see that their drinks
are mixed under sanitary and
good, clean conditions"
The Senator also placed his
endorsement on the provisions in
the bill which would prohibit es.
Establishments dispe nsing "off
sale" liquor, beer and wine to
open for any kind of business of
any kind on Sundays. This pro-
vision either would compel such
establishments to close on Sun.
days or discontinue selling their
"off sale" liquor products al
together"

Chester H. McColl, special assis-

said while the gross increase in
Federal debt from March, 1888, to
March, 1885. was $7,391,177,823, a

Ken MURRAY
Says:

Those liquor runners around
Detroit are back at work again,
only nowadays they're smuggling
onions into Canada. It's news
like this that brings tears to the
eyes of cOStOms inspector.
You know, since repeal, those
Canadians have been struggling
hard to make "bOth ends meat"
land naturally, some prefer
it SmOthered in onions.
OF course, you can't blame the
runners for turning to some
other commodity. i. With so
many cheap "blends" on the
market, the bOotleggers just
can't keep their Spirits" up.
so REMEMBER:
When going through the Gus
toms, it shouldn't. be necessary
to declare" OniOgss. Those
things speak for themselves.

STRAIN TELLING
ON MEMBERS
Of CONGRESS
Nervous Fatigue Is Greatest
Menace to Health During
High Pressure Session
BY FRANK M. SMITH


High pressure of business in
this session of Congress is caus-
ing high blood pressure in mem
bers of Congress.
It is not the subject for any
serious alarm, according to
medical advisors, because their
general health is normal for the
age groups in which they fall.
But a 16-hour work day for
any man under the nervous
tension prevalent in most offices
on Capitol Hill these days is
taking its toll.
At this session, DR.. George w.
Calver, attending physician and
his three lay assistants, Harry
w. Jarvis, Freeman E. Frank
and C. w. O'Gilvie are admittedly
doing a good job of keeping the
members on their feet.
Staff Keeps Busy
DR.. Calver is reluctant to dis
cuss his charges and forbids any
mention of the number of cases
he handles daily or the number
of visits made to the first-aid
stations in the House and Senate.
However, a couple of hours spent
in his office under the Capitol
rotounda supplies abundant evil
dence that his staff does no
loafing.
Except for a general epidemic
of colds which attack the men,
bers in January with the re-
sultant clinical cases, this session
has been free from serious in
roads on the health of its
members.
Speaking today of overwork
under high tension as this SEES
sion progresses, DR.. Calver had
this to say:
IT think the greatest deter
rent to the general good health
of the members of this Cong
ress is nervous fatigue.
working from $3.50 or 900
in the morning to 1900 and
500 o'clock at night under
pressure such as these men and
women are facing with the
problems before them is too
great q strain for anyone. 1t
is bound to have bad effects.
URGES RELAXATION
efforts should be made to
leave these men free from
duties on the floor to take
care of their district or State
business of their office ON
Saturday SO they can have
complete relaxation on Sunday.
1t isn't done, but it should be
done.
"Why, I have even visited
members residences or called
them on the telephone at 8
o'clock at night to find that
they have just finished an
important bit of business that
overlapped their usual office
hours and they had just got
home.
"This condition is placing a
terrific strain on these men and
women and should be appreci-
ated by their constituents at
home. Unless a man has some
time to devote to keeping him
self in good physical shape he
will surely show the effect in
his work and tt ultimate SER
vice he can render both to the
State and the Nation"

ton from 16 college and university
presidents led by President James
Bryant Conant Of Harvard University.

a measure was futile In instill!ng pa
triotism, but that 1t constituted the
entering wedge for an attack upon

initial Steps In Fascist movements.

SUITS TO RECOVER
AAA. TAXP|LE Up.
ConstitutionaIity Attacks on
Amendments Are In
Dictated.
BY the Associated Press.


The A. A. A. today watched with
considerable concern the rapid piling
up of suits for recovery Of processing
taxes, filed since the Supreme Court
invalidated N. r. A.
These suits were interpreted as an
indication that legal attacks upon the
constitutionality of the pending A. A.
A. amendments will be started imme-
diately upon passage Of the amend
ments-if they are passed.
The Department Of Justice has re-
ceiyed notice of at least Is suits filed
to recover taxes which the Government
levies on manufacture and other Kinds
of processing" to get money to pay
farmers for adjusting production.
An official said the suits are being
filed at the rate Of from 10 to is per
day. One of the largest was filed yes
terday by the Amoskeag Manufacture
ing Co. of Manchester, N. H., asking
recovery of s2,500.o00 in processing
taxes, and contesting the validity of
the levy.
One section of the pending A. A. A.
amendment would prohibit any
further suits to recover the more than
1924, 900 900 collected in processing
taxes and would seek to invalidate
suits pending, except where final
Judgment" had been handed down.

AIRPORT SPONSOR
HITS AMENDME NT
Senator Gibson Says Cost Should
Not Be Borne Entirely
by District.

Opposition to requiring the District
10 meet the entire cost of the pro-
posed airport for Washington, as pro-
yided for in the bill passed by the
House Monday, was voiced today by
Senator Gibson, Republican, of YER
mont, sponsor of the airport legisla-
ton in the Senate.
Senator Gibson, who was out Of the
city during the past few days, said
he has not had time to study the
measure In detail since the House act
ed, but expressed the belief that the
Senate should not adopt the amend
snent relieving the Federal Govern
ment of meeting share of the cost.
In its original form, the bill pro-
vided that the funds to establish the
airport, not to exceed $4,000, 900,
would be advanced by the Federal
Treasury with the District Govern
,nent later reimbursing the Treasury
for one-half of the expenditure with
interest. This was changed on the
floor Of the House on motion Of. Rep
resentative Blanton, Democrat. Of
Texas.
