Ancient Torahs Ceremony
Dedicates New Temple in
BrightWood Area.

The ceremony of the torahs, an an
cient Hebrew ritual. marked the dedi-
cation yesterday of the new Beth El
Synagogue at Seventh and Jefferson
streets. Rabbi Aaron Volkman, who
founded the synagogue for the Jewish
people of the Brightwood area, off,
ciated at the dedicatory services.
The four torahs, parchment scrolls
on which are written the five Books
of Moses, were carried down the
middle aisle of the synagogue while
the congregation chanted the Shema,
Jewish profession of faith. AS the
chant ended with. the words Hear, 0
Israel, the Lord Our God, the Lord Is
One" the torahs were placed in the
tabernacle.
More than 200 persons crowded the
synagogue auditorium to hear Rabbi
Volkman and guest Rabbi Solomon
Metz, L. T. Loeb, M. H. Levinson,
Abram Simon and Harry Silverstone.
Rabbi Samuel Volkman, Chicago, son
of Rabbi Aaron Volkman, also spoke.
Morris Fleishman and Morris Gar
finkel acted as co-chairmen for the
exercises.
Rabbi Aaron Volkman expressed
qualification at completion of the
edifice and hope that its future would
be one of great service to its congrega-
tion and community.

enemies Of high voltage, become harm

The third episode presented DR..
Charles G. Abbot. secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, in a demon
stration of his recently invented solar
engine which represents mans most
practical approach to obtaining
power directly from the sun.
Polarization Is Dramatized.
For more than 800 years science
has known of the peculiar property
Of light known as polarization, but
almost up to the present it has re-
mained laboratory curiosity and an
aid to research. It may be on the
point of becoming of extreme practical
value by making highways safe from
glare. This was demonstrated in the
next episode by DR.. L. w. Chubb. di-
rector of the research laboratories Of
the Westinghouse Electric & Manu-
featuring Co.
Polarized light is light which vi
brates in only one direction in con-
trast to the helter-skelter vibration
in the ordinary light ray. Ordinary
light vibrations might be considered
as q mass of straws tossed up In the
wind. They are blown against a
picket fence. All straws are stopped
except those parallel to the Stats and
all straws coming through are lined
up in one direction. The straws that
get through are polarized.
Now consider the crystals Of an
automobile headlight as such q picket
fence. so constructed that all the
light vibrations coming through are
in a plane As degrees from the hori-
zontal. A brilliant light is thrown over
the road ahead. Now the driver OF
an approaching car has in front OF
his eyes screen, or pair of spectacles
which also acts as a picket fence. but
whose Stats are not parallel to those
Of the headlamp.
Thus the glare of the headlights OF
the other car does not get through
to his eyes, but he himself can see
clearly.
Ultra Sound Waves.
The next episode turned to the weird
and still largely unknown realm oi
ultra-sound waves. The human ear
as can be demonstrated from any
piano keyboard, is sensitive only to
certain narrow range of wave.
lengths of vibrations in air. Longer
or shorter vibrations cannot be heard
and in the past have attracted little
attention.
But strange things can be done
with them, it was demonstrated by

FULVIO SUVICH

ENVOY TO j. 5.
But Italian Kings Title of
Emperor of Ethiopia
Rejected
ENGLAND WITHHOLDS
RECOGNITION ALSO

WASHINGTON, June % (UP)
The state department yesterday
agreed to the appointment of Full,
VIC Suvich as Italian ambassador
to the United States, but without
recognizing the title of emperor
of Ethiopia on the king of Italy's
credentials for him.
Suvich, formerly undersecre,
tary in the Italian foreign office
will succeed Augusta Rosso as
Romc's ambassador here.
His appointment raised the deli
cate question of diplomatic pro-
cedure. King Victoria Emanuel Of
Italy, following the conquest OF
Halle Selassie's empire, assumed
also the title of emperor of ETH
opia.
Observers specialized as to
whether acceptance Of letters of
credence for a new Italian ambas-
sador carrying the kings full title
would comply American recogni-
ton of Italian sovereignty over
Ethiopia.
This question, it was under,
stood, was fully discussed be-
tween the U. S. government and
Italy and it was decided that the
state department would accept
Suvich's letters of credence, but
with the understanding that such
would not imply recognition of
Italy's conquest.

BRITISH CABINET is
UNDER FIRE TODAY

LONDON, June %. - (UP).-
Great Britain will not recognize
Italy's annexation of Ethiopia,
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
declared in the house of commons
yesterday.
ellis majesty's government has
no intention at the Forthcoming
meeting of the League of Nations
to propose or assent to recogni-
ton of Italy's annexation of
Abvssinia," Eden said.
Eden's statement was interpret
ed as an attempt to strengthen
the governments position before
today's debate in the house of
commons on a laborite motion to
censure the gvernment for lifting
anti-Italian sanctions. If the mo-
ton is carried, the government
will be obliged by tradition tc
resign.
The foreign secretary revealed
that Britain has granted permits
sion to the fugitive Emperor Halle
Selassie to maintain communica-
tions through the Anglo-Egyptiar
Sudan with armed forces which
are supposedly still loyal to him
in the unoccupied areas of wes-
tern Ethiopia.
Britain will not consult the
United States and other powers
on Italy's violation of the Paris
