NEW YORK. July 81 U.N.S).
A generally firm tone was main
tanned in the stock market, as
moderate profit-taking shortly
after the opening was absorbed
and an active demand for rubber
shares encouraged bull opera
tions.
United States Rubber issues
were outstanding, the common
squirting 2 points and the pre-
ferred about 8, while Goodyear
and Goodrich each advanced q
point. The latter reflected eSti-
mates first half net was the best
for the company since 1929.
A few special issues scored
wide gains and some went into
new high ground for the year.
Westinghouse was the lea der,
running up more than points
at one time to 1924. Coca Cola
continued its spectacular advance
with a squirt of 2 points to 122.
Newport industries and Libbey-
Owens-Ford also were at new
1885 tops.
Steels and motors were higher,
but gains for the most part were

town Sheet and Tube was an
exception, rising a point to within

American Can was under pres

meeting support around 1877.

DECLINES
IN MODERATE
DEALINGS
BY EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK. July 81 UN.sJ.
Selling increased in curb stocks
in later dealings today and the
list sold off generally with Q few
issues sustaining substantial losses.
Total trading volume was not
particularly heavy on the down
side, however.
In the miscellaneous shares,
Sherwin Williams dropped points
for one of the widest losses in the
higher priced stocks. Aviation is
sues sold off, with Consolidated
and Pan American giving ground
fractionally. Tubize Chatillon A
registered a point on the upside
and Crane Company and Square
D Company A were slightly i'm
proved.
Petroleums were irregular and
holding their own fairly well ex-
cept in a few issues. Interna-
tional Petroleum sold down almost
a point, appearing quite frequently
on the tape. Creole was also q
soft spot.
In the mining shares, Sunshine
was again near lows for the year
as the issue dipped 1a point to 12l2.

MURDER
CLUES HERE
FOR TEST

In the laboratories of the Fed
eral Bureau Of Investigation here
today trained criminologists were
examining evidence which may
solve the mysterious murder Of
Helen Clevenger, 1S-year-old col
lege student in an Asheville
IN. CO. hotel two weeks ago.
Three Asheville detectives who
have been working on the case
went directly to the Department
Of Justice with the evidence on
their arrival here.
Among the things they brought
with them, it was learned, were q
number of hairs found on a towel
in the room where the young coed
was slain. These hairs will be
examined under powerful micro.
scopes and compared with hairs
from at least two persons who
nave been questioned in connec-
ton with the case.
Towels and other objects
brought by the detectives will be
given searching tests for finger.
prints and other clues.
Chief Of Detectives Fred Jones
said:
"This clue is liable to break
the case. It will be either o
strong link in the chain Of
evidence we are gathering, or
again it may prove to be q
complete failure"
j. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
G-men, conferred with his agents
last night concerning examina-
tion of the evidence.

Compton says, by other experiments on
variation with latitude.
Evidence collected on the repeated
voyages back and forth in the Pacific,
DR.. Compton says, has made possible
the construction Of a rough coSmic
ray energy spectrum, comparable to
that for visible light or for X-rays.
At each latitude, he points out, there
is a relatively sharp lower limit to
the energy Of the electrons which are
able to get through the earth's mag
netic field. This ranges between D.

THIRD MOVEMENT
OF EARTH CLAIMED
Raindrops Of Radiation From
Luminous Clouds of
Stars Held Proof.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,

Pelting In earth's face of raindrops
of radiation from luminous clouds Of
stars in the ultimate vastnesses Of
Creation proves a third movement Of
the planet in addition to the daily ro-
tation on its axis and the yearly jour-
ney around the sun, 1t was revealed
yesterday In an annual report Of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington.
The "raindrops" are cosmic rays,
shot out from the depths of space with
energies ranging from two billion to
more than nineteen billion volts.
Astronomers In the past have de-
duced from stellar observations that
the entire galaxy Of 10000. 900, ,000-odd
stars, of which the sun and its planets
are one, was whirling like . cosmic
wheel of fire around its center Of
gravity, in a zoe, 900 000-year rotation.
In the past, however. there has been
no physical proof of this which could
be applied from the earth itself.
Various reasons have led physicists
to the conclusion that the cosmic rays
Evening star., 1936-12-14

Interpretation Of the results Is very
complicated since 1t involves correla-
ton Of cosmic ray intensity both With
latitude and with sidereal time.
The implications, says DR.. Comp
ton in his report, ARE far-reaching.
The effect confirms the astronomers
recent conclusions regarding the ex-
istence, the direction and, roughly,
the magnitude Of the rotation Of the
Milky Way. It implies that the origin
Of the cosmic rays is beyond our
galaxy. for it Is the motion Of our
galaxy relative to the source Of the
rays that presumably causes the ef-
feet"
It also. he says, gives additional
proof that the cosmic rays are, for the
most part. electrons, or unit particles
Of negative electricity, rather than
photons, or unit particles Of radiation,
for the effect Is only about Is per cent

shortest and most powerful oompon-
ents Of the radiation spectrum orig
mated from some point outside thia
galaxy, either in the space between
the galaxies or In the millions OF
Island universee" millions of light
years beyond the outermost bounds OF
the Milky Way system.
Variation in Intensity.
So reasoned DR.. Arthur H. Comp
ton of the University Of Chicago, Car
negie associate and Nobel prize winner
In physics, If the galaxy was moving
and the cosmic raindrops were coming
from outside 1t their greatest intensity
would be in the direction Of motion.
1t would be much like person walk
ing in the rain. He would get wetter
on the face than on the back. II the
galaxy was rotating. earth must be
rotating with it, at a speed which as
tronomers already had calculated.
DR.. Compton and his collaborators
in this experiment report finding .
variation in cosmic ray intensity,
changing with sidereal time, which Is
very close to what would have been
expected from the data OF the astron-
omers. The measurements show that
the movement of the earth In this great
rotation is approximately $50 miles q
second.
The movement has been at least
tentatively confirmed, according TO
DR.. Compton's report to the Carnegie
Institution, by three years of measure-
ments In both the northern and
southern hemispheres. It Is being
checked further by a ship equipped
with cosmie ray meter which now is
cruising back and forth on the Pacific
between Canada and Australia. The
