Fundamental Factors.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Dnrect OBSERVATION ana measure
ment for the first time Of an hitherto
underlined force in nature. as signifi-
cant as gravity or electricity, was an
nounced yesterday in the annual re-
port Of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington.
1t is the force that binds all things
together.
Without it there could be no earth,
no living thing, no understanding
heavier than hydrogen, lightest Of
gases and supposed mother sub
stance" Of creation.
The vastness Of this force can be
expressed only in figures 50 great that
they transcend human imagination.
Unit for unit, it Is 10 to the seth
power-represented by the number 10
followed by 50 ciphers-greater than
the force Of gravity.

each weighing less than two septril-
lionths Of . gram Is 10000, ,000, 900, =

Significance in Experiments.
The experiments during the past
year at the Carnegie Institutions Ter
restrial Magnetism laboratory, on the
edge OF Rock Greek Park, promise to be
as significant. according to some
physicists who have followed their
progress, as Sir Isaac Newton's dis
covery and foundations Of the laws

Of gravity nearly 300 years ago. or Ben

NJ. A. Tuve and . group of physicists
working under his direction, assisted

isolation Of the force is the culmina-
ton Of 10 years of intensive effort.
Since the first actual measurement was
made. nearly 10 months ago, every
other project Of the high voltage
laboratory has been dropped while the
physicists have concentrated on this
work.
A preliminary announcement, which
attracted little attention ut the time,
was made at meeting of the Ameri-

BRITISH PEOPLE
PROCLAIM GEORGE
London Crowds Cheer New
Monarch at Medieval
Pageant.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, December 12.-Under
dreary skies Britain proclaimed
George vi King today while Edward
VIII sought in q foreign land the
solace Of the love that cost him the
throne.
As golden-uniformed heralds moved
through foggy London streets in me-
dieval pageantry which twice within
q year has heralded a new sovereign
the crisis of Edwards abdication
passed into history.
With unrufiied calm the British peo-
piles accep ed the melodramatic
change of sovereigns and turned from
the prince-King they loved so well to
his tall, family-loving brother, George
but with deep sympathy and god
speed to him who found the burden OF
kingdom too heavy without "the wom-
an I love"
Before the musty battlements of St
James Palace, proud heralds hailed
the new King. Trumpets shrilled as
throngs watched the pageantry Of
centuries ago re-enacted.
Sir Gerald Wollaston, the garter
principal king of arms, proclaimed
"our only lawful and rightful liege
lord. George the sixth, by the grace
Of God, King of Great Britain, Ire
land and, the British Dominions be-
yond the seas, defender Of the faith,
Emperor of India, to whom we do
acknowledge all faith and constant
obedience with all hearty and humble
affection, beseeching God. by whom
kings and queens do reign, to bless
the royal Prince George vi with long
and happy years to reign over U.s."
Safe In New Allegiance.
So tonight the British people we're
anchored safely in new allegiance to
the second son Of the revered George
v and his plump little Scottish COM
moner wife will grace the golden
throne which the American-born
Wallis Warfleld Simpson might have
held had other fates prevailed.
London's day Of splendor to pay
homage to George VI centered at
Charing Gross, at Temple Bar. at the
Royal Exchange. and at each place
the proclamation was ready.
And a. In London. 50 In other
empire capitals-the wayward Dublin
belatedly-George's accession was Of
ficially announced. Parliament has
sworn fealty to the new monarch.
And already two golden throne chairs
grace the dais Of the House of Lords.
where for the past 10 months there
had been only one-for the bachelor
ruler.
Through the blue gray mists blan-
keting London 1000 troops marched
to line the route from old st. James
to the Royal Exchange II, the heart
Of the city, where the pageant Of
heralds moved amid cheers and cries
"0od save the King"
It was o repetition of the cere-
monial January a., when Edward was
acclaimed and the woman he loves
went unobserved by the crowds into
q. James itself to peer through the
ancient window at the scene.
Today's was . different crowd.

mourning for George v, dead but two

Insurgents have abandoned efforts to
smash their way through Madrid's de-
fenses and resorted to an encircling
"siege Of starvation" the capitals
military leaders believed tonight.
Nevertheless. the capital rushed its

and that 100000 more would 60
shortly.
Despite isolated pushes in the uni
Versity city suburban sector. which
were repulsed, indications were that
the Fascists' main objective was to
surround the city and cut its COM

Ten persons were killed today and

mainly as q screen for the more i'm

by cutting of food supplies would
