decreased some twenty per cent" Mr..
Rudy said, "I feel there is a greater
need than ever for the inspection.
"There are lot of cars on the road
which should not be operated and
there are lot of drivers not able to
take care of the machines. Well un-
cover the faulty cars and give the own
ers two weeks extension if necessary
to fix them up"

U.N.S0.-Discovery Of a new and
glowing mass of hydrogen and

foot spectrograph at Mcdonald
Observatory in Texas, was de-
scribed before the American
Astronomical Society meeting here

tory staff.
FAINTER NEBULOSITIES
Placing the discoveries in the
consultations cygnus and cepheus,
the astronomiSts declared:
"These new nebuloSitieS are
of a character different from
the brighter nebulosities in that
they are not concentrated to-
ward individual stars but appear
to derive the required energy Of
fluorescence from the general
field of stellar radiation in
milky way star clouds.
Prom an approximate de-
termination of their brightness,
they appear to be on the aver
age eight magnitudes fainter
than the central portions Of the
orion nebula."
LUMINOUS CLOUDS
DR.. Struve said it is probable
many other portions Of the Milky
Way are covered by similar nebu
losities, though q region in CAMS
Major shows practically no trace
of nebular emission.
The newly-obServed luminous
clouds, it was shown, are too faint
to be directly photographed, and
their existence could be proved
only by means of Spetrograms
sensitive to the hydrogen line AL

lines.

ICKES REFUTES.
REPORTS PWA.
PROGRAM LAGS.
Warns Against Delays
In Asking for Funds

UN.S0 PWA Administrator
Ickes today warned communities
throughout the nation to speed
up application for projects to
meet the construction deadline Of
January /, set by Congress.
At the same time, IckeS denied
reports that the giant program
was tagging behind schedule, and
called attention to the September
3 deadline for applications for
projects.
rs RESCTNDED
IckeS declared that because Of
undue delay Is projects in the
1898 program have been rescinded
and the funds allocated to other
communities. He added that these
allotments were revoked "only
after PWA made unsuccessful ef-
forts to obtain action on the part
Of the applicant"
Many communities will lose
the projects for which they have
asked PWA help and for which
they have qualified for and re-
ceived allotmentS, unless they
confirm such allotments by for
NAL contract and by putting the
projects under construction"
.1ckeS added.
IckeS said that many communi-
ties have adequate excuse to delay
proposed projects, but warned
that PWA has no choice "but to
throw out the project" and use
the funds for another project
which would go ahead more quick
".
ICKES CITES Law
There may be many contribu-
tary and logical reasons why a
community does not act" he
said, "but those reasons are not
recognized in the law governing
PWA."
Declaring the 1888 PWA pro.
gram "has moved with astonish-
ing speed" Ickes said it has now
made 5,314 allotmentS totaling
$6O7, ,474,237, providing for con-
struction having a total estimated
cost Of $1,24O, ,203, 800. .
AS Of September IS a total Of
1921 projects for more than
o billion dollars in allotments
have been applied for by commune
ties which have not received al
lotments, Ickes said. Part Of this
delay, he added, is due to the
failure Of certain communities to
meet technicalitieS in procedure.

SAIL0R-HIRING PLAN

Stand Against Maritime
Body's Proposal.

BY the Associated Press.
President William Green of the
American Federation Of Labor made
public today statement supporting
the Sailors Union of the Pacific in its
stand against the Maritime Commits
sion's proposed new system Of hiring
crews for its ships.
At present crews are hired through
hiring halls" conducted by the unions.
Harry Lundeberg, head of the Sailors
Union, said July 30 last that it would
strike If the commission attempted
to put a new system into effect.
Mr.. tundeberg rejected q COM
promise proposal by Admiral H. A.
Wiley of the commission that the
hiring be under commission super
vision. with one union and one COM
mission representative In charge. The
commission had proposed July IS that
the United States shipping commits
sioner be put in charge.
THE Sailors Union of the Pacific"
Mr.. Green said. has learned by ex-
perience that the hiring halls as now
constituted on the Pacific Coast are
of vital importance to the success and
maintenance Of the union.
There is vast difference between
seamen employed upon merchant
vessels. even though they may be
operated under Government admins
tration. and those employed in the
Navy and upon Navy vessels.

Glass-Sprinkled Rubber Paint
Used to Mark Plane Run,vavs

A Bureau Of Air Commerce expert
ment using rubberized paint sprinkled
with glass particles ss runway lines at
Washington Airport Is lending . hol-
iday atmosphere to plane landings

Maj. A. B. McMullen OF the bureau
explained yesterday the glass par
ticles. which are about the size of No.
6 shot. are sprayed on the paint while
it is still wet and the resulting lines
reflect airplane lights much more eff
fectively than the paint ordinarily
used to mark runway lines.
Pilots are able to see the lines from
an altitude Of 1000 feet. he said. and
to passengers they appear to give the
effect OF Christmas tree lanes. The
experiment has been the subject Of
much favorable comment by pilots dur
ing the two weeks it has been tried,
Maj. McMullen said.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1938-08-08

The glassed paint already is in use
in some Northern States to mark cen
ter and edge lines Of highways. Ac-
cording to Maj. McMullen. the Navy
is considering using it to outline the
wind director at its air station In
Anacoetia.
The bureau also is working on an
addition to the lighting effect, also
designed to illuminate the runway. 1t
consists OF series Of flexible rubber
flaps, similar to traff1c control devices
used on some city streets. Coated
with discs of rubberized glass, the
flaps are placed at l50-foot intervals
along the runway boundaries. The
reflection from the discs is visible to
pilot even when his lights are on
the wings Of the plane. The ordinary
reflector throws light only back to
its source. Maj. McMullen pointed

NORRIS CHOICE
|SFRANKFURTER
Writes Letter to President
Urging Appointment to
Cardozo's Seat.
Bv the Associated Press.


WAUPACA, Wis, Aug. 8-In an
open letter to President Roosevelt,
United States Senator George w. Nor
ris, independent. of Nebraska today
urged the appointment of Felix Frank
furter, adviser to the President and a
professor of law at Harvard, as JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
Court to succeed the late Justice
Benjamin Cardozo.
The Nebraska liberal issued the
statement from his summer home
near here, to which he returned today
with Mrs. Norris following a flying
trip to Fond Du Lac yesterday for
medical attention after chicken bone
lodged in Mrs. Norris throat. The
Senator'S wife had recovered fully
today.
There is no man now in the public
eye who so fully represents the philos-
ophy of government of Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes and his successor,
Justice Cardozo. as does Frankfurter,"
Senator Norris stated. He added that
appointment of Mr.. Frankfurter was
IAN opportunity to perform one of
the greatest services ever performed
for the American people"
"Frankfurter was the confidential
friend and adviser of these two great
justices Holmes and Cardozo)," Sena-
tor Norris said. and always has been
their admirer and partisan. The Amer
lean people are beginning now to ap-
preciate the justice Of the late Justice
Holmes and admiring patriots have
but mingled their tears at the bier of
Justice Cardozo.
Felix Frankfurter is the most out
standing personality to continue and
carry out the judicial philosophy of
these two great statesmen. The COM
mon people of America have faith in
President Roosevelt.
He will perpetuate that faith If .he
places Mr., Frankfurter on the supreme
bench"
