Congressmen Look
to Adjournment by
First Week in June
If Other Important Measures
Come Up They Will
Have to Wait

Congressional leaders gave the
clear-track signal in Washington
this week to taxes, work relief, and
departmental supply bills and an
nounced adjournment must be taken
not later than the first week in
June.
Any other major measures not
acted on then will have to wait for
the new congress to be elected in
November, they said.
This means that bills calling for
direct ship subsidies, loans and
grants for low cost housing and Stun
clearance, omnibus flood control, ano
commodity exchange regulation are
dead unless administration pressure
is exerted.
The tax bill, seven weeks in the
making in a house ways and means
subcommittee, is expected to emerge
from the full committee Tuesday
The next day the house will begin
debating it if it is introduced in
time.

Officials Seek to
Stop Road Erosion
Shrubs and Vines Are to Be
Planted on Bare Banks
and Road Fills

WASHINGTON, April 18.-Along
three million miles of rural roads a
new soil erosion problem is adding
to the worries of government offici-
ais seeking to control the floods and
dust storms.
Modern highway construction
methods, particularly in billy and
mountainous country, leave bare
hillsides and fills. Water washes over
them, gullies form, earth is washed
out, road beds crack and the valleys
and streams below are choked with
silt.
Forest service experts estimate
that $2,000,000 is spent annually re-
pairing roads affected by such ero-
sion. This does not include damage
to property over which silt is de-
posted.
The forest service has worked out
ments to prevent this particular
form of erosion damage and shortly
will issue a pamphlet discussing
methods.
Experiment in Mountains
It has experimental along noun
tain roads in the national forests to
find that bare hillsides can be held
in place by planting vines, shrubs
and saplings in rows running paral-
lei with the road bed and about five
feet apart.
When living tree stumps from sap
lings are planted, men working on
the project Irvine the stumps with
underbrush to form net-like bar
ricade against silt which would 9TH
erwise wash away. In a year the
stumps will sprout, much of the un-
derbrush rots or is washed away.
Practically the same methods are
used when vines or shrubs are
planted.
Much such work already has been
done in California and New England
by State highway departments. Sim
liar plans are being considered in
Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Okla
homa and Ohio.
On less hilly roads honeysuckle,
climbing roses, ceanothus and bac-
charts, shrubs of which there are
several varieties, Christmas berry
and barberry have been planted.

Ex-Convict to Go
to Hollywood, Cal.
MAN Acquitted of Wife's Murder
Says Capital Punishment
Is Useless

Three years in prison and three
trials on charge of wife murder
gave David A. Lamson an ambition
to convince the world capital pun
ishment is futile"
Fresh from the death house in San
Quentin prison, Lamson has gone to
Hollywood to begin adapting for the
movies the book ('We Who Are
About to Die'') he wrote during his
Imprisonment He was released aft
er the third jury disagreed. Now he
has movie contract.
Wants to Be Useful
There are ''some things want to
say" he explained tonight.
"And saying them now gives me
my chance to be useful, which is
what I want more than anything
else out of life"
Lamson wants to inform the world
on three things with which he had
hard, bruising contact. Two are
matters of philosophy-a little hard
to explain"
The other is: Capital punishment
is futile"
He began by quoting what he call
ed death house truism:" The smart
guy gets the breaks-the dumbbell
gets the rope"
"And that's true Usually, a man
who is executed is too unintelligent,
too uniformed of the processes of
the law, the modes of detection, to
escape The hard, experienced GRIM
inal knows the way out, and usually
is able to take it"
Furthermore, he said, the death
penalty is no crime deterrent.
''The boys in the row (the con-
demned row in prisons) go out in
one or two days. When a man is
innocent, he has the feeling, If this
is the sort of world we have, I'm
glad to be getting out
Spirit Dies with Hope
Cor else, he is too busy mapping
his defense to think, until the last
few days. Then he dies, mentally
and spiritually, long before he dies
physically. He may seem to be alive,
but he isn't. When hope dies, he

10000 CRYSTALS
ON POINT OF PIN
Accomplishment by Young
Scientists Solves Auto
Light Glare.
~ the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December 1.-Two
young men who learned how to make
100000 minute crystals stand on end
on the point of pin exhibited the re-
suit today at the Museum of Science
and Industry here.
Their crystals, said DR.. Robert w.
Wood Of Johns Hopkins University,
one Of the best known physicists in the
world, solves the problem Of auto
headlight glare.
With the same stuff for spectacles
distinguished audience saw complete
three-dimensional movies with pic
lures taken by ordinary cameras and
projected on regulation film.
Light Rays Polarized.
The crystal substance "polarizes"
the rays of light. or in other words,
lines them up. The discoverers Of the
process are a former Harvard in
structor in freshman physics and one
Of his freshman students, who was SO
extraordinarily bright that his teacher
asked him privately not to bring up
such tough questions In class.
The pair are Edwin H. Land, who
was the pupil, and George Wheel
wright, Sd, who was the instructor.
Land is the inventor and Wheelwright
the "doer."
Land Is the son Of q Norwich, Conn.,,
cotton man. At the age Of 6 Land per-
formed his first physics experiment,
which resulted in blowing all the fuses
In the house lights.
He began the problem of balancing
10o.o00 crystals on a pin point 10 years
ago, when he was Is, and was reading
. book in the New York Public Lii
brary. The book was Sir William
Brewster's work on the kaleidoscope.
It told the attractive things which
could be done by using polarized light
with q kaleidoscope.
Asked $5.e00 for Work.
Land asked his father for IS 900 "a
70 ahead with this idea and to make
glareless auto headlights.
Perfecting their process took Land
and Wheelwright 10 years, mostly in
their laboratory in Boston.
The crystals are made Of iodine and
euinine. They are 50 small that any
where from 10O, 900 to 1000, 900 would
stand on . pin point. If they are all
lined up, like bayonets, they transmit
light much like glass and they also
polarize it.
The polarizing glass is made by
using q thin inner layer Of these crys-
tails between two sheets Of glass, the
same as safety glass is made.

Righteousness. Was he, then, "a
man clothed in soft raiment'-
one who feared, courted, and flat
tered the authorities? If so, they
could readily understand how his
spirit would be crushed by the
royal displeasure which left him
in prison. But this also was mis-
conception. If John had been u
court sycophant, he would have
had gorgeous apparel instead OF
camePs hair ard ieathern girdle,
lived delicately instead of on To-
Gusts and honey. and sought
kings palaces rather than wilder:
ness haunts. Besides, if he would
but retract his rebuke of Herod
and Herodias, he might now go
free. But John was 10 servlle flat
terer. Did not the people flock
into the wilderness to hear the
voice of a prophet, the first heard
in Israel for four centuries? Were
they mistaken? "a prophet? Yea,
say unto you. and much more
than a prophet" In the long list
adorning the annals of Jewish
history there was none that at
tanned the stature of the Baptist,
He not only fore>old the coming
of the Christ, but actually point
ed him out to his disciples and
the world. Unlike his predecessors
who, peering through future dark
ness, caught glimpses of approach
ing light, he helped with all his
might to usher in the Messianic
day. And he not only made proph'
ecy, but also fulfilled it, for he
was the promised messenger be,
fore the face of the. Messiah
Surely no mothers son was ever
greater prophet! But he that
is least in the kingdom of Goo
is greater than he"; not in char.
acter, but in privilege; not in fu'

ton: not in wisdom and achieve
ment, but in knowledge and on
portunity. John wrought in the
