PHOENIX, Ariz Nov. 28 UP)-
Photographs of BLACK" lightning,
phenomenon which has puzzled
scientists, may upset a frequently
given explanation, according to Nor
man CT. Wallace, amateur photog-
rapher noted for camera studies of
desert scenes.
Basing his Interpretation upon
pictures which show vivid flashes Of
"black" and ordinary, or white,
lightning side by side, Wallace be-
lieved the former may be a distinct
type of electrical phenomena.
A suggested explanation that
black lightning is merely an illu-
sion resulting from too intense light
reversing silver images of photogra-
phic plates, fails to account for
BLACK" feeder lines on lightning
pictures, while the central flashes
register white, Wallace said. Addi-
tionally, white flashes frequently
may be photographed Immediately
preceding and following the black
flashes, or sometimes caught side
by side with the black.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. UP)-
President Roosevelt probably will
not ask more than one billion dol
lars for relief in the 1936-37 budget,
Chairman James Buchanan of the
house appropriations committee said
Wednesday night in response to a
question, but added that he had no
idea what the actual figure would be-
Buchanan'S remarks, together
with a statement by Secretary of
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., that the administration has not
changed its attitude on the soldiers
bonus, were significant comments
on what may be expected in the new
budget. Both have just returned
from conferences with the president
at Warm Springs, Ga.
As chairman of the committee in
which all appropriations originate,
Buchanan hopes the ordinary"
budget next year will be held to
around $5,000,000,000 and that it
will balance with estimated income
Favors Continuing CCC
buCHdlldH SdlQ he favored tufn-
iShing money to continue the Civil
liam Conservation Corps and that he
hoped the S4,000,000000 work re-
lief fund would be only half spent
by the end of the current fiscal year.
Since latest treasury figures show
er that on Nov. IS only S1,100.00O, 900
OF the total had actually been spent
in slightly less than half year, this
hope seemed logical.
Buchanan saw only one serious OBJ
stacle to balanced regular" bud
get next year-the soldier bonus.
Officials of the American Legion
and the Veterans of Foreign wars
apparently are united this year on
bonus measure of the Initiation
ary" features of the Patman bill.
Some of those voting against the
bill last year raised the objection
that its provision for printing new
money was dangerous initiation. Bo-
nus forces are determined not to
permit them the same argument this
year.

Paddle-Maker for COIIegians
Boasts 32 Years of Experience

COLUMBIA, Mo, Nov %. UP)-
Wayne Allen IS recognized as off
cial paddle-maker for the Univer-
sity Of Missouri. He has been at
it 80 years along with desultory
work at piano tinkering.
In 1923 Allen advertised:
ALIENS paddles have made last
ing impressions on Mizzou fresh
men for the past 25 years"
During that time Allen esti-
mates he has made thousands of
paddles.
I've made paddles out of every
kind of wood that grows" he says.
" Rosewood was the favorite in
prosperous times. Some fraterni-
ties favored mahogany, but sea-
soned oak is the favorite now.
Il have made them out of eb-
ony."
Styles in paddles change, Allen
declares. Some years students want
heavy tWo-handed ones. Other
years they require shorter, lighter
blades.
He has to be something of a
draughtsman. The engineers send
the paddle maker specifications
drawn like architects plans for d
building.
Engineers paddles must weigh
just 50 much and must be just eX-
actly so many Gath of an inch
thick"
Agriculture students want them
tough and strong.
One Of Aliens masterpieces was
an explosive paddle which con-
cealed a percussion cap. When the
wood was brought in forcible con-
tact with luckless freshmen the re-
sulting blast was-very amusing.

FLYING SUITS
TO BE USED
in AIR TRIPS

BANFF. Alta. Nov. %. UP I One
day soon John Kropocz. 65-year-old
inventor. hopes to don his flying
suit" and soar into the sky without
benefit of a motor.
Kropovz says he has invented a
flying suit" which makes human
flight possible. The device consists
of an aluminium suit with metal
wings and a series Of springs, oper-
ated on the principle of the gramo-
phone.
Explaining how his invention
works, KropocZ said the suit is at
tached to the shoulders and around
the waist. The wings are attached
to a tube containing the power
springs. The pilot" propels himself
by pedalling on a special device.
KropocZ says the suit is fool
proof" If the springs fail. the pilot"
is kept afloat by a safety coat in
flated with hydrogen balloons fast
ened to the lining Of the suit.
The only problem Kropocz has
not been able to solve is the take
off. At its present stage, a ground
level start is impossible. The pilot"
would have to jump from a tower
or roof Of building to take-off.
Otherwise, he says his invention
is perfectly practicable, and de-
clares that a model released from
the roof Of a hotel here flew two
miles.
Kropocz said he is building a full
size model and plans to try it him
self.
