2 Justices Claim,
Right to Conduct
TOlUn Police Court
Bs the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HARRISONBURG, Va, January 2.
The Harrisonburg Police Court had
two justices today, both claiming they
were entitled to the post.
Lawrence Hoover, Democrat, who
had served as police justice for several
months, refused to relinquish his Office
to Charles A. Hammer, jr., Republican,
elected by the City Council for four
year term beginning yesterday. Hoover
said City Attorney w. w Wharton had
ruled Hammer ineligible to hold the
position because he was not a resident
OF the city.
Hammer maintained he was eligible
although he lives just outside Of the
city limits. because he could find no
suitable residence in Harrisonburg.
Each justice presided at separate
trials yesterday, handling two liquor
cases.
Indications were that the Rocking
ham Circuit Court would have to rule
on Hammers eligibility. Until then
It appeared that offenders may have

Believed Connecting Link
Between Living and Nom
Living Things.
By the Associated Press.

x1y hssoSiutSu lboo.
PHILADELPHIA, January 2-The
connecting link between living and
non-living things-which scientists
have sought for centuries-was identi-
fed as an ordinary protein today by
DR.. w. M. Stanley OF the Rockefeller
Institute of Medical Research at
Princeton, N. j.
Addressing a special meeting OF the
American Philosophical Society, before
which Benjamin Franklin discussed
his first electrical experiment, DR..
Stanley reported sciences newest step
toward the understanding Of the diff
ference between things which live and
those which do not and possibly the
difference between cancer and normal
tissue growth and Of the infinitely
small substances which cause infantile
paralysis and the common cold.
DR.. Stanley yesterday was awarded
the 81, 900 prize of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Sci
ence at Atlantic City for the out
Standing report OF the annual conven-
ton.
Today, reading a similar report at
q special meeting on yiruses and virus
diseases, he declared the first of such
disease-causing viruses had been iso-
lated and found to be protein, one
of the family OF common things which
Is eaten as food every day.
This protein, which causes the dis
ease known as tobacco-mosaic in to-
bacco, tomato and some garden plants,
Is alive because it can grow, repro
duce and infect a large number of
plants when present in very small
quantities. Yet it cannot die. because
when separated from its host plants
it is merely crystals Of protein, some
what like ordinary table salt. He
said a similar slight difference exists
between cancer and the normal cells
of the body.
Because of this difference in the
protein, he declared, "the borderline
between the living and the non-living
tends TO become non-existent" and
it may be possible that other viruses,
such as those which cause influenza
epidemics, also are merely proteins.

De Unamuno, u, internationally
known rector Of Salamanca Univer-
sity, philosopher, poet and novelist.

10000 AV|ATORS
IS GOAL OF SOVIET
Movement to Train $4,000
More Pilots in 1887 Held
Reply to Goering.

BY the Associated treSS.
MOSCOW. January 2-The Soviet
Union today was pushing a movement
to train 10000 airplane pilots. an
idea which originated from the sug.
gestion of obscure munitions workers.
Throughout the country has spread
the slogan, 10000 air hawks in
1887" This Is Russia's reply to the
recent assertion of Germany's Col.
Gen. Hermann Goering that Germany
must train 10000 aviators.
1t was officially announced at the
recent congress Of the Soviets that the
Soviet Union has about 100000
qualified pilots, and the new plan Is
to increase this number by so per cent
without interfering with work in the
factories and on the farms.
Worker Makes Speech.
The plan originated in the
Menzhinsky airplane factory here in
meeting of workers called to discuss
the new Soviet constitution. It's
author was Nikolai Nikitich Krup-
chatnikoff, 45-year-old factory hand.
In an impromptu speech he said:
"The German Fascist Gen. Goering
has declared Germany must train
10000 pilots. The answer should be
given Goering that the Soviet Union
will train 100000 pilots within the
shortest period Of time. They should
be trained without abandoning their
work at the factories or in the fields.
We workers of the aviation industry
will supply our country with the most
perfect planes, which like hawks viii
destroy the enemy in the air."
Aviation Schools Urged.
vladimir Kokinakki. one of Russia's
aviation heroes, indorsed the sug.
gestion. asserting Russia easily could
train 1000 pilots for every million
Of population. He urged special avia-
ton schools be established In big
factories for this purpose.
Soviet youth organizations have
given the scheme hearty support.
New air clubs are being established in
many cities and each is receiving one
to three planes supplied by the gov
ernment. One club reported receiving

RICHMOND, January 2.-Office
space for the new Virginia Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission was
tentatively selected and approved yes
terday bv Chairman Frank P. Evans
and John Hopkins Hall, jr., ex-officio
commissioner, but the lease remained
unsigned in the absence from the city
of w. H. Rouse, third member of the
commission.
Evans explained that he had no au-
thority to act without the consent OF
the full commission. and subsequently
was not In position to announce the
location of the Offices under considera-
ton. He said he would probably tele-
phone Rouse at his home in Bristol
today for his approval in order that
the new State agency to administer the
recently approved Virginia unemploy-
ment insurance act may get located by
Monday.
Still uncertain about the personnel
that will be required, the commission
chairman said he expected to devote
most of his time today to an effort to
complete his study of the organization
set-up proposed by the Federal Social
Security Board.
I'VE have about decided on the key
positions" he continued. but We don't
yet know how many subordinate posi-
tions will have to be filled"
Evans said that applications for jobs
with the commission were piling up at
rapid rate, but that nothing much
could be done about them until the
commissioners have definitely deter
mined their organization needs.
State Auditor L. Mccarthy Downs
has about finished working out an ac-
counting system which the commission
may adopt. and he is also preparing
tax-return forms for the new agency
