This radon gas has half life Of

it mixes with the atmosphere and
probably is the source of the radium

so much radon as still further prod

It is known from laboratory expert

EASTON, Pa, January 23.-Seven
cosmic ray meters set up in the same
room show that every time it rains
man gets a radium bath and that
half an hour afterward there Is laid
down on the earth an imperceptible
film Of radioactive lead.
These findings are described in the
Physical Review today, as reported by
Richard L. Doan of the University OF
Chicago. The cosmic ray meters were
made for the tests by DR.. Arthur H.
Compton, now beginning new meas
urements of cosmic rays in several
widely separated parts Of the world.
During trial testing in single room
the meters measured the radioactivity
of the air during and just after q rain
storm. This radioactivity comes from
radium, and the radium comes from
the earth.
The steps are these. There Is q
minute quantity Of radium in all or
nearly all the surface rocks. 1t takes
1900 years for II radium to disin-
tesrate by half. IL

INSPECTOR BURKE
ASKS RETIREMENT
Surgeons Board Reported
Approving Request of
Detective Chief.

Inspector Frank S. W. Burke. chief
of the Detective Bureau. has applied
for retirement from the Police Depart
ment and the Board of Surgeons is
reported to have approved his request
today.
Burke, who has been on sick leave
for a month. went before the medical
board shortly after noon. The exami-
nation is said to have disclosed a
bronchial and heart condition which,
in the opinion of the surgeons. would
seriously interfere with his work as
head of the Detective Bureau. The
report was not made public.
On Police Force "a Years.
Inspector Burke is ST years old. He
has been in the Police Department for
"a years. the last AZ of which have
been spent as head of the Detective
Bureau. Since his illness the bureau
has been in charge of Capt. Bernard
w. Thompson and Lieut.. John Fowler.
The Medical Board refused to retire
Burke in October. 1882. after Brig.
Gen. Pelham D. Glassford. then super
intendent of police, had attempted to
force either dismissal or demotion OF
the detective chief.
Glassford, whose work as police
chief made him a national figure dur
ing the first bonus march, resigned
after the board refused to order
Burke's retirement. The board held
that Burke's physical condition did
not warrant retirement.
Previously, Glassford had sought to
have Burke replaced as detective
chief by Inspector Edward ]. Kelly,
then captain of the third precinct.
Criticized in Wilson Case.
More recently-in October, 1884,
Burke was reported on the verge OF
resigning or asking for retirement be-
cause of criticism of his handling

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, January ga sharp
battle over Communist and Fascist
foreign policies and the right of an
American republic to break diplo-
matte relations with Soviet Russia
broke out in the Council of the League
of Nations today.
Maxim Litvinoff, foreign commissar
of Russia, declared to the Council
that Japan. Italy and another Euro
pean State" are fostering aggressive
policies of ''the utmost danger to
world peace"
He demanded that Uruguay explain
to the League exactly why it broke of
diplomatic relations with the Soviet
government on the grounds that the
Moscow government was fostering
communiStic activities.
Calls for Defense Measures.
Alberto N. Guani, the League rep
resentative of Uruguay, answered
heatedly that the time had come for
nations to take up measures of defense
against the policies emanating from
Moscow.
Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy pro-
tested against Litvinoff's references to
Italy. THE speculation in these re-
marks" said the Fascist delegate, Il

Litvinof had referred to Italy's "act
of aggression"
Baron Aloisi answered: Italy has
no need to provide motives. Italy
has no need to find excuses for an
action which she has taken openly, in
view of the imperative need of italian
civilization and stability"
Resists Attack on Motives.
The Italian declared it should not
be permitted in discussion of this
nature to introduce words which
impugned the motives of other coun-
tries.
For his part, Senior Guani declared
the Moscow program was calculated
to destroy families, religion, the So
cial order and civilization ITSELF"
Guani declared that Montevideo,
the capital Of Uruguay, had been used
by the Soviet legation as a center for
breeding trouble in Brazil and else
where in South America.

PARIS, January 23.-Former Pre-
mier Albert Sarraut may again head
the government Of France.
He was asked today by President
Lebrun to form q new cabinet to sue
ceed that of Pierre Laval, which re-
signed yesterday. Sarraut told the
President he would consult his friends
before definitely deciding whether he
would take the premiership.
The government crisis tightened as
the first leaders to be offered the gov
ernment leadership refused and the
financial situation reflected the un-
certainty.
The first to be offered the post were
Jules Jeanneney, President of the
Senate. and Fernand Bouission, Presi-
dent of the Chamber of Deputies. They
declined to attempt to form a cabinet.
Laval himself, deserted by the
dominant Radical Socialists amid criti-
cism that he vacillated between Great
Britain and Italy in the Italo-E -Ethi-
opian conflict, also refused to try
to form the 101st government of the
Third French Republic.
Gold Shipped Out.
With the collapse of Laval's golden
franc" cabinet, more than 600 900 900
francs in gold were reported to have
left the Bank Of France for abroad IN
the first three days of this week.
The government treasury has to
borrow 5000, ,000, 900 francs in the next
few months, and concern over main
tanning the confidence of lenders
spurred the search for new govern
ment.
Former Premier Edouard Herriot,
Radical Socialist former minister of
state, whose resignation precipitated
the cabinet downfall, was summoned
to the Elysee Palace today to be asked
to take the premiership. Herrioit re-
fused, and Yvon Delbos. president Of
the Radical Socialist group in the
Chamber of Deputies. did likewise.
Others in Prospect.
If Sarraut, premier for a month in
1888, declines, the place may go to
Marcel Regnier, former minister OF
finance and an opponent Of devalua-
ton OF the franc, or former Premier
Pierre Etienne- -Flandin.
Political observers saw increased
prospects that Laval, premier for seven
and one-half months until his resig-
nation, would be asked once more to
form another coalition cabinet after
all others refused or failed.
Leon Blum, the Socialist leader, and
some other Leftists insisted, however,
that the split between the Right and
the Left had become too bitter for
Laval to return and that the Leftists
must now take the government
responsibility.
