COSM|C RAYS HELD

'Bombardment" on "Front''
Side of Earth Studied
From Boat Data.
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 9.-Dr. Arthur
H. Compton. internationally known
physicist, yesterday announced extern
sive tests had established tentative
proof" that cosmic rays come from
far out in space.
During the Summer" the Univer-
sity Of Chicago scientist said. 5000
readings were automatically recorded
on cosmic ray meter installed on the
steamship Aorangi, plying between
Vancouver, British Columbia, and sgd
ney, Australia.
"The sun Is one OF the stars of the
milky way and revolves with the earth
about the center of the milky way at
about 200 miles a second. From our
recordings we find that the cosmic
rays are more intense on the front
side of the earth-that is, the North
ern Hemisphere-as the earth moves
through space.
Because the front Of a moving OBJ
ject Is bombarded on the outside more
heavily than the rear, we conclude
that the cosmic rays enter the earth's
atmosphere from the outside and can
properly be called 'cosmics.'"
This tentative proof" he added,
backs up the prediction made a year
and half ago by DR.. I. A. Getting Of
Oxford University and myself"

Sv the Associated Press.

by the ASSOCIATED Press
CINCINNATI, October 9-John
Reuger, 81. a former restaurant op-
orator, told again today his story OF
the kiss staying of Miss Alberta
Judd, 10.
Il never had the slightest intention
of killing her." said Reuger, adding
a belief that the girl probably was
shot when she attempted to prevent
him from committing suicide.
Detective Chief Emmett Kirgan, to
whom Reuger repeated the story, said
Miss Judd, former employe of Reuger,
was shot and killed as she and Reuger
stood locked in each others arms in
the rear of the girls home last night.
Reuger, Girgan said. denied he had
been jealous and asserted he never had
considered Miss Judd my girl"
Earlier Detective Harry Tobertge had
quoted Reuger as saying, III never
forget it. I want to go to the electric
chair and get it over quick"
Kirgan said Reuger told him he went
to Miss Judd's home and told her he
was going away and wished to kiss her
good-by. With one arm around her
he said, he pulled out his pistol.
After I pulled out my gun don't
know what happened" Kirgan quoted
Reuger as saying. Alberta probably
saw what I was doing and must have
grabbed ny hand.
THE gun went off twice and the
first bullet must have missed her. ]
never meant to kill her"
Kirgan said murder charges likely
would be filed today.

in Europe.

President Roosevelt, ever a breaker
of conventions, has found pleasant
locale for conferences on such i'm
portant subjects as European politics,
it was revealed today.
On Wednesday afternoon, for ex-
ample, James A. Moffett, oil magnate
and former head of the Housing Ad-
ministration, called to report his OBJ
servations following a European trip.
Intent upon hearing his one-time
aides views. but determined not to
let anything interfere with an after
noon swim, the President moved the
conference to the White House pool.
There, for nearly half an hour, they
splashed around the pool while dis
cussing the Fascist and Communist
movements On the continent.
According to Mof1ett, Germany has
no intention Of precipitating war but
she is preparing to resist any move
toward further spread of COM
munism.
Moffett predicted q swing to the
right in France with conservative
elements replacing the left wing gov
ernment of Premier Blum within .
short time.
The oil mans tour Of several Eu-
ropean countries was made primarily
for business purposes in connection
with Q newly-formed oil company
with which he Is connected. The

Iation, He Says.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 9-Eugenio
Cardinal Pacelli. first papal secretary
Of state ever to visit this country,
arrived from Rome yesterday, bearing
gently-phrased reminder that the
majesty of Divine law takes prece-
dence over all human legislation.
THE church cannot refrain from
reminding peoples and those who
govern them" he said. 'of their duty
to submit without reserve. not only in
private life but also in public life, to
the supreme dominion of God"
The tall, thin prelate, here ostensi-
bly, for a months vacation, confined
his remarks to a prepared statement
as he sailed up the harbor in the same
ship that brought Italy's new Am
bassador to the United States, Fulvio
Suvich.
Silent on Father Coughlin.
1nterviewers sought to determine
whether the cardinals visit had any
connection with the activities of
Father Charles E. Coughlin, who was
rebuked by a Vatican organ for call
ing President Roosevelt a liar" but
all questions were turned aside by his
personal secretary. Prof. Enrico Ga
leaZzi.
A delegation OF church dignitaries
and prominent laymen greeted the
cardinal aboard the liner Conte di
Savoia. He was driven from the
dock to the residence of Patrick Car
dinal Hayes, to whom he paid his re-
spects before departing for the Long
Island estate Of Mrs. Nicholas F.
Brady, his hostess in this country.
Cardinal Pacelli said he was happy
to report that the holy father was
laboring with youthful energy and
untiring devotion" to extend to all
peoples and all nations 1.-The incom-
parable aid and encouragement found
only in the teachings of Christ"
Among those who welcomed him
were Rev. Amleto Gicognani, apostolic
delegate to the United States; Most
Rev. John Gregory Murray, Arch
bishop of st. Paul, Mimi; Most Rev.
Francis j. Spellman, Auxiliary Bishop
of Boston; Most Rev. Gerald O'Hara,
Bishop Of Savannah. Ga, and Most
Rev. william D. O'Brien, Auxiliary
Bishop Of Chicago. representing Cardi-
nal Mundelein.
Cardinal Pacelli's hostess for his
brief stay in New York, Mrs. Brady, is
one Of the most prominent Of Catholic
laity. She received the Laetare Medal
in 1884 and is the only woman who has
received the degree of LII. D. from

GREENCASTLE, Ind. October g.
Do college students spend most OF

such subject?
Positively no." says Prof. Paul Fay
Of the Depauw University psychology
department. They spend most of
their talking time in discussions Of

Do the students care about what's
going on in "the outside world?
Apparently very little" says the

BIDS T0BE SOUGHT

Grade Work Involved.

officials Of the Maryland Roads
Commission said today that bids will
be sought next week on two Mont
gomery County projects if plans for
the work can be completed in time
for the commissions consideration at
its meeting on Tuesday.
One of the projects is the construc-
ton of approaches to the overhead
bridge now being built at Rockville
to eliminate the dangerous grade
crossing where a number of fatal ac-
cidents have occurred.
The other involves lowering of the
grade on the north side Of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad viaduct on
Georgia avenue, at Silver Spring. to
remove another highway hazard. The
work has been advocated by the Sill
yer Spring Business Mems Associa-
ton.
Nathan L. Smith, chief engineer for
the State Roads Commission. said
that work on the span over the rail-
road tracks at Rockville is nearing
completion and the approaches are to
be started as soon as possible.
Members Of Smiths staff are en-
gagged in drawing plans for the ap-
proaches, and they are expected to be
finished in time for advertisement
early next week. Bids would be opened
on october 81 if no hitch develops.
Smith said the abrupt rise in the
grade at the viaduct blocks the view
of northbound motorists and offers a
constant threat of collisions with ma
chimes travelling south on Georgia
avenue. or turning into Georgia avenue
from Sligo or Philadelphia avenues at
the top of the rise
He declared the grade will be lowered
about a foot and a half to eliminate
the hazardous condition. Bids probably
will be advertised for along with those
for the Rockville approaches, and also
opened on october 27.

FURTHER CLUSTERS
DELAYED BY A.F.L.
Executive Council Turns to
Less Controversial Issues.
Green Hopes for Peace.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Hesitating to oust additional
unions for their support of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization
and seemingly hopeful that some in
diyidual units OF the recalcitrant
group may seek reinstatement in the
federation, the Executive Council OF
the American Federation Of Labor
turned again today to consideration
Of less dangerous issues.
Absent from the docket for this
second days session, for instance, was
the question of applying their sus-
pension rule to the International
typographical Union, which recently
went on record in support OF the
C. I. o. With several members OF
the council not expected before Mon
day, President William Green implied
that the whole matter of the break
in the ranks of labor will be deferred
until next weeks meetings.
Expressions by various individuals
have intensified possibilities Of set
tlement of this split" Green said
yesterday, adding that he does not
consider the situation too hopeless
for a reconciliation before the fedora
ton convention in Tampa, November
16. He admitted. however, that no
appearance of C. 1. o. representatives
actually is scheduled during present
session OF the council, nor are any
conferences planned.
Silent on Dubinsky Farley.
Green declined fatly to comment
on his Wednesday night conference
In New York with David Dubinsky
president of the International Ladies
Garment Workers, and Max Zaritsky
president of the Cap and Millinery
Workers, both of whom are members
Of the c. I. O.. but who have beer
quoted as conciliatory toward the
federation.
Similarly, he declined to comment
on the proposal of John L. Lewis
C. I. o. chairman, that peace may
be obtained by revocation of the
suspension order against 10 c. I. o
unions and cooperation in industria
organization of certain mass produc'
ton industries.
Without regrets or comment Of any
nature. the council yesterday accept
ed the resignation OF Dubinsky as {
vice president of the federation ane
o member of the council.
Principal business of the afternoon
meeting was consideration of al
invitation to become affiliated will
the International Federation of Trad
Unions. Urging acceptance befor'
the council were Sir Walter M. Cit
rine, president Of the international
and w. Schevenels. secretary.
Green said he thought it likely th
matter would not be decided at tn
present meeting: The A. F. of 1
was afiliated with the internationa
some time ago. but dropped out il
1921 because the organization wa
ruled by majority. and individua
members were not allowed to retail
