United Press Stan COrreSpOndent) New Haven, Conn.,, CUP)-Admir- CTS of William Graham Sumner, the founder of American sociology" who introduced at Yale university the first course in sociology ever taught in this country, have set Up @ permanent organization, known as the Sumner club, which will en- encourage and assist reseai oh in the science of society.
 Membership in the order is open to all interested in the scientific approach to the study of social problems. Sumner, who died more than . quarter of a century ago, was professor of Political and Social Science at Yale from 1872 until 1909. It was not until 1882 that all his volunoinous writings had been collected and published.
 A small group of former stu- dents who since Summers death hace made possible the publica- ton of his works now feel that Q permanent national organiza- ton is necessary because of the peculiar need today for a more scientific approach to social prob- lerns."

Robot Charts Hot
 Air Belt In Ozone
Australian Scientists See New Possibilities for Speed
 Plane Route After Experiments

From these upward the tenn peratures increase till they end in 6 torrid zone at 160tmileS of altitude.
 Former Theory Upset
 On this latter heated zone, Dr. Martyn's radio reports contradict the belief of Professor Appleton, who was convinced this zone was hot only in summer. Martyn's ex- periments show that the seasonal drop is only from 1900 to 1000 degrees.
 As Q consequence, Dr. Martyr de- clares, that the earth is perpetual ly girdled by a fiery ring of incon- ceivably rarefied air, in which, nec- essafily, no human activity could ever be hoped.
 Measurements of the upper ozone show fluctuations exactly corre- spending to barometric measures on the ground, but antedating them. As Q consequence weather forecasts, Dr. Martyr declares, can be made from these radio probes of the air.
 Australian authorities are so inl- pressed with Dr. Martyn's findings, that modern ozone measurers are now being installed at the Common wealth Weather Bureau, the Solar Observatory at Canberra and at the installation of the Council for sci- entific and Industrial Research.

FINANCE BOARD APPROvESLOAN.
Necessary Authority for $I,5OO,OOO Given City
 Controller Leary

Authority to float Q temporary loan of approximately 41,6OO, 900 will be given Controller Daniel J. Leary within the next week or ten days. The necessity of floating the loan was discussed briefly yesterday ct the regular meeting of the finance board. The money borrowed will be used to keep the city's business zoe ing until the October ir1stallment of the 1936 tax levy comes in.
 A couple of weeks ago the city wiped out its floating indebtedness of $l,75O, 900 when 1t paid off Q tenn porrary loan of that amount. City Treasurer Edward L. Futile report ed to the board yesterday that the balance in the city treasury on May was 4624, ,7e5. During May, how ever, over $2,000,000 in l9S6 taxes was collected. It was out of this money, to @ large extent, that the $1,76O,0 900 floating indebtedness was wiped out.
 During May, also, $41,93l was taken in by the city in back taxes. The sum was ordered deposited in the surplus resouce sinking fund.

 Foe of BimetaIism
 Summer was graduated from Yale in 1863 and afterward studied theology in Germany. He rec turned to this country to become first assistant to the rector of Calvary church in New York city and later became rector of the Church of the Redeemer, Norris town, N. J. He was appointed to the Yale faculty in 1872, at @ time when the monetary question was uppermost in the public mind. From the background of his studies, which had veered him to economies, he was prolific in his arguments against bimetalism Echoes of his utteranceS were heard in 1882 when Franklin D. Roosevelt in the presidential cam paign of that year raised the issue of the Forgotten man," the sub- ject of one of Summers essays.
 Before his death in 1910, Sumner Sumner published several volumes, including the now famous Folk ways" However, most of his material remained in the form of notes and Syetclly manuscripts which he turned over to his col- league and successor, Professor Keller.
 Publication Finally Arranged
 Tn 1914 after Professor Keller had been at work on the inanu- scripts for five years, a group of alumni headed by Russell Sulli- van, Indianapolis, offered financial assistance for the publication Uf Summers ambitious work on the Science of Society. The work IS study of the evolution and life of human society and its insti- tutions.
 Tn the permanent organization, the members of the Sumner club, according to the announcement forsee "a more rational method of attacking social problems than the guesswork and experimental ton which prevail today"

F. D. R. to Outdo Himself

Roosevelt's closest pals say you can expect one of his greatest ora torical efforts when he accepts the nomination at Q big mass meeting in Philadelphia Saturday night af- ter the convention.
 They point out that he has been on c tour through sections of the country which are preponderantly enthusiastic for his reelection and that his friends and supporters have been telling him that his speeches during that tour were somewhat magnificent. CThe pres ident wrote those speeches almost entirely by himself, following criti- cism of recent previous utterances)
 Under such circumstances, Roose- welt gets to feeling good and rolls up his sleeves for some vigorous "hot stuff."

the first time in its history.
 Pennsylvania is an important and doubtful state in the fall election. The national convention, with all its publicity and hullabaloo, usually is regarded as giving it's party some advantage in that state.
 Probably that is the reason, aside from the $200,000 offer of the local citizens committee, that led the Democrats to choose Q traditional Republican stronghold as their con- vention city.

Sydney, Australia (U.P)-Radio experiments just completed by Drs. D. P. Martyr and o. o. Pulley of Sydney University have demon- strated the possibility of exploring the entire stratosphcre for a dis- tance of 160 miles above the earth without the necessity of further dangerous ascensions.
 Except for the possibility of ascer- taining whether the stratosphere constitutes 0 medium for speedy aer- ial travel, the two Sydney scien. tists are convinced that all necessary information about the earth's upper atmosphere can now be obtained from the earth itself.
 Under the system invented and thoroughly demonstrated by Dr. Martyr, the upper air can now be probed by radio signals.
 His new method gives accurate data on the amount of electriflca- ton, the amount of ozone, and the temperature throughout the whole thickness of the upper air from 22 up to l50 miles.
 Robot Does All Work
 The new type apparatus which Dr. Martyr has perfected consists of a robot that sends out signals, catches the echoes, varies the wave lengths and plots all the informa- ton obtained on a tiny chart.
 One of the first discoveries made by Dr. Martyr with his new inven- ton was that there is still another cold layer of air far above the stratosphere cold layer recently reached by Russian and American balloonists. Between the two cold layers there lies sandwiched a warm layer, and 1t is in this latter that pr. Martyr thinks that stratosphere flying might become q possibility.
 According to the radio records made by pr. Martyr, temperatures again dip in the second stratosphere above the warm ozone layer, reach- ing q minimum at 80 miles above the earths surface.

Philadelphia, June l9-(NEA- Democrats gathering here June a for their national convention will sense uncanny echoings when their discussions turn to the Constitution
 For 1t was here, 140 years ago that the blistering hot summer oi l787 saw a group of delegates sweat ing over Q new Constitution for the United States.
 Behind locked doors in Indepen- dence Hall, which is only 20 Inin- ute's ride from the convention hall of today, wrangling delegates threshed out the Constitution that has been the basic law of the coun- try ever since. This summer, as re- publican delegates recently did at Cleveland, the democratic delegates will put that Constitution under the microscope.
 Old Independence Hall still stands. To delegates attending the democratic convention 1t will proud- ly present. new paint job on all it's white trim. That is only part of the sprucing-up process that is giv- ing a facial and complete beauty treatment to the historic buildings of Philadelphia at the cost of $425,- 900.
 WPA POlishes City
 About 400b WPA workers are hard at work at such diverse jobs as widening streets approaching the hall, polishing up historic bronze tablets, and Scrubbing the soot of years from the face and coat of the bronze George Washington, which guards the entrance to Inde- pendence Hall. Costs are being split between federal and local govern ments.
 Convention Hall is getting much the same sort of renovation given the Cleveland hall for the repub- lican convention, newly varnishsd seats, woodwork touched Up, new lavatories and rest-roon1s installed.
 The work is being rushed to have 1t completed by the time the dem- ocrats assemble.
 Further, in case any of the dem- ocratic platform -makers want to get right back to the original sources, "all documents and relics relating to the framing and adop- ton of the Constitution now in Philadelphia" will be made avail able for use of hte national com mittee, assures Albert M. Green- field, chairman of the local com mittee on arrangements.

 The confused and aY1ything-Snay. happen state of Pennsylvania poli- tics to-day is well illustrated by the fact that the present mayor of Philadelphia iS described by Fortune magazine as "S. Davis wilson, . former Democrat elected by Repub- leans in Q desperate effort to de- feat Q former Republican who was running on the Democratic ticket"
 Into this atmosphere of early his. tory, later political battles, and pres- ent political Aux, the Democrats have chosen to stage the jubilee that will confirm the partys support of Franklin D. Roosevelt as its leader.

the birth of the Constitution, the massive mahogany deck of the pres- ident, and the high. .backed chair in which John Hancock sat when he signed the Declaration of Inde- pendence with such 8 dourish-all these and many more are in their places in the Declaration Chamber of Independence Hall.
 Around Q pleasant square, with in walking distance of the chief l1o- tels, stands Q group of buildings which recall the events by which earlier history was made on the same site where the democrats are about to make a little more. Tn Arch street stands the little house where Betsy Ross made the first stars and stripes" American flag.
 The old State House goes back to 1736, one of the oldest legisla- tive buildings in America. The tower and the famous Liberty Bell were not added until l75S.
 Congress Hall, built as 8 county building in 17e7, was the meeting place of congress until the federal government moved to Washington in 1900, and here George Washing ton was sworn in for his second term as president.
 The old City Building, close by, was the first meeting place of the supreme court, Feb. 2, 1701, which puts the assembled democrats in the very shadow of the birthplace of the institution with which their administration has come recently into such grave conflict.
 Many Later Conflicts
 But Philadelphia contains not only the deathless memories of the early days of the republic, but also those of later party conventions, which have frequently been held in the Quaker City.
 Oddly enough, 1t was in the old Musical Fund Building that the in- fant Republican party nominated it's first presidential candidate, John 0. Fremont, in 1866.
 i Grant was renoninated here by the Republicans in 1872 at the Academy of Music, and the Com rnercial Museum is part of the building where Mckinley and the first Roosevelt were picked to head the g.o.p. ticket in 1900.
 Though the buildings in which the events took place are now gone, Gen. Zachary Taylor was chosen here by the Whigs in 1e4s, and Willard Fill- more by the American Party in 1856. The Democratic party is choosing Philadelphia this year for
