ALITTLE LATE

wheeling, w. Va, Intelligencer)
Chairman Buchanan of the House
Appropriations Committee has re-
minded his colleagues that there are
13 independent emergency agencies
spending public money over which
Congress has no control.
Expressing the belief that some OF
the "emergency officials" are paid
excessive salaries, and that some of
the agencies carry too many en-
ployees, the Appropriations chair
man declared that all emergency
agencies of the government, like the
regular establishment, SHOULD func-
tion only by specific authority of
Congress and with funds appropri-
ated by Congress for enumerated
purposes"
Mr.. Buchanan is right, of course.
But his words Of warning come bit
late.
People are awakening to the
meaning of what has been done. Any
death-bed congressional repentance
over neglecting its job for the past
three years is likely to be ignored
by thinking voters next November.

RAILROADS CAN MAKE THE
GRADE

In an article in the Atlantic
Monthly, John J. Pelley, President
of the Association Of American Rail-
roads, wrote: There are dimculties
ahead in the way of obtaining
a sound state Of transportation
plenty of difficulties. If pending
bills to reduce the number Of cars
in trains, to add unneeded men to
train crews, or to increase wages
and overtime payments by changing
the basis of calculation from the
present standard day Of eight hours
to one of six hours, should be en-
acted into law, all the savings
achieved by great investment in bet
ter track, longer sidings, stronger
bridges, improved cars, more eff
cient locomotives, better operating
methods. would be more than wiped
out. There are still great inequali-
ties as between rail transport and
transport by water, air, or highway,
but if we really are on the way to-
ward a reasonable and consistent
public policy of equal treatment for
all forms of transport there is no
reason to despair of the future of
American railroads as privately OPP
Grated, self-suppOrting, tax-paying
institutions. Give them their fair
chance to haul the tonnage, and they
can make the grade"
Mr.. Pelley speaks as a man con-
nected with the railroad industry
but whwat he says could be virtual
lv duplicated, so far as basic prin-
ciple is concerned, by quoting from
statements of unprejudiced experts.
The railroads are our principal
medium of transport they cOnsti-
.ute the greatest single industry the
nation possesses. The well-being of
, hundred other industries depends
largely or wholly on their well-be-
ne. The jobs of thousands Of men
and women depend on their steady
,peration: And family savings run
ling into the billions-savings in
,ested in railroad seeurties-depend
IN railroad earnings.
Yes, the lines can make the grade
given a decent, equitable Oppor-
unity. They will give us better
,ervice tomorrow than we dream OF
as today they give us
he highest standard of transporta-
ion service existing in the world.

Science Piles Up Evidence
That Moon Was Born of Earth
Possibility of Future Disruption of
World Revives Interest in Support of
Theory Suggested by Dar,Uin.

dence, we notice that the two shores
of the Atlantic Ocean are SO nearly
parallel that they look like the banks
of a great river and that Australia
and the East Indies could be pushed
westward into the niche known as the
Indian Ocean. so that If all land areas
of the world were pushed together
they would form one vast continent.
Science has produced further evi-
dence in support of this theory. The
density of the moon has been meas
ured and found to be about 3.3, COM
pared with the density of the sun,
which Is only about IA times that of
water
This density Of the moon is Just
about the density of the outer portion
of the earth down to a depth of about
so miles and the volume Of the moon
Is approximately the volume of the
outer shell of the earth now covered
by the oceans, extending to q depth of
80 or 40 miles.
OF course. all Of this is speculation,
for we have no actual proof that these
things occurred. However, the facts
outlined form a reasonable basis to
explain the existence of observable
natural phenomena.

BY MAI. WILLIAM BOWIE,
q. 6. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
(Written for the Associated PreSs.)

: Recent speculation regarding a pos
sible disruption of the earth by the
Attraction of the moon many millions
of years hence makes timely an in
uuiry into where the moon came from
originally. and how the earth got the
conformation it now has.
I Many years ago Charles Darwin, the
great naturalist, proposed the theory
that the moon detached from the
earth due to a tidal action such as has
been predicted for the future by some
astronomers, while the earth was in
molten state. In 1896 Osmond Fisher
accepted that theory and suggested
that the disruption probably took
'place after the outer shell of the earth
had solidified.
= A number of other scientists in
more recent years have come to ac-
rept that explanation, with some varl-
,stions, as the true explanation OF
the origin of the moon, and I per-
Sonally believe it, since it Is the only
hypothesis regarding the origin OF
continents that is convincing and at
the same time does not run counter
to the newest principle of earth SCI
,ence, which holds that the crust of
the earth is in iSostatic balance.
Z This means that the outer shell of
the earth is composed of strong elastic
material, while the material below
the shell acts as if it were weak
plastic.
. Granite Rises to Surface.
!, Geologists have found that the up
per layers of igneous rocks under the
:continentS of the earth are largely
GRANTEES, while the oceans are appar-
.ently underlaid with much heavier
sbasaltic rocks. 1t is only reasonable
ito assume that the GRANTEES, being
jighter, would rise to the surface as
the earth cooled from a molten state
sand become quite uniformly distrib-
suted over the face of the earth. with
no such depressions and elevations as
I'VE find in deep oceans and high
mountains today.
= If the violent disruption suggested
fby Darwin did occur, the material
that broke off into space naturally
would have been the lighter material
sor what we call granite and the por-
tion of the outer shell which remained
would have been badly fractured. The
Remainder of the granite shell would
have been torn in pieces. leaving
blocks more or less widely separated,
the larger blocks being what we call
continents and the smaller fragments
the oceanic islands such as Antarctica,
Madagascar and Australia.
The areas in between would have
been healed by the upswelling of a
subcrustal basaltic material and be-
cause the balastic rocks are heavier
than granite, they would not have to
rise as high as the material they re-
placed in order to restore the equi-
Ubrium, or isostatic balance.

NAZIS TO REORGANIZE
DENTISTS PROFESSION
Poor Condition of German PEOPLES s
Teeth Brings Move to Create
Organized Hierarchy.

By Radio to The Star.
BERLIN, August 8.-The German
peoples teeth are in such poor condi-
tion that the whole dental profession
Is to be reorganized under government
auspices. it is announced in a state
ment published here by Wilhelm
Frlck, minister of the Interior.
AS a preliminary step in this direc-
ton, nobody will be allowed for the
time being to begin the study of den
tlstry and only those who have been
studying dentistry will be allowed to
take the state examinations for
licenses to practice.
One of the Nazi goals is a wider
distribution of good dentists through
out the countryside. Toward this end
1t has been proposed to create an Or
ganized hierarchy Of dentists in which
men beginning practice would be
obliged to start in small town and
would be allowed to move to richer
fields in the larger cities only after
having practiced several years else
where.
