I have a plea TO make for the
working students of this school. AS
soon as a student enters high school,
he is told that now school has but
one purpose-to fit him to grapple
successfully with the problems of
life. And-once in a while-a stu
dent will enter the school who takes
this promise seriously. Therefore,
to supplement his school work, he
finds himself job, to fill his after
school hours. But does the school
do all it can to help him? In some
ways it does. But in one very i'm
portant way, it does not. In fact,
it sometimes seems that the faculty
is deliberately doing all it can to
hinder him.
Of course, such an assumption is
absurd, for no one values prompt
ness more than does teacher,
However, teachers, as all other
grown-ups, suffer from the COM
plants of "adultness." They simply
refuse to consider youths jobs
along with youths problems-as vi
tally important
Naturally, when a student has in
huEHudlEiy PlCPdiEd lIlo 1Ioooitot AiI
should be required to spend some
extra time upon them. However,
it would seem that teacher, ii she
stopped just a moment to consider
how truly vital to the student is
his position, would plainly see the
importance of his being as prompt in
getting to work, at least as he must
be in getting to class.
The rule that she can make no
exceptions to her discipline by CIV
ing this particular student little
extra attention and time, in reality,
does not apply For, after all, the
working student is rather the ex-
ception that the rule-he is taking
class, if that is the only way it can
be made to seem important to the
teachers, after his regular school
hours.
1t seems little enough to ask, it
would seem though, for the teach
ers to realize that the students job
is quite as important to him as the
teachers is to her.

BIG APPLE LAW
Is CHALLENGED
SAID CRAVITATIoN INVERSE.
LY PROPORTIONAL TO
SQUARE OF DISTANCE
nv Ar.oeIated Pressl

NEW YORK, April 15.I-The
law Newton evolved from a fall
ing apple has been challenged in
Nature, England's science
journal, by George W. Todd, of
Kings College.
Newton's law says gravitation
is inversely proportional to the
square of the distance. That is
true, says Mr.. Todd, for the parts
of the solar system Newton could
observe, but it is not true every
where. Newton's law may be only
a special case". Gravitation itself
may be a more general law, still
unknown.
The existence of this unknown
Mr.. Todd derives from recent
studies of two puzzling facts
about the solar system. One is
Bodies law, which predicts the
spaces between the orbits of plan
cts. They are progressively larg-
er outward from the sun.
For a long time astronomers
thought BODIES law was guess
that happened to fit the queer
fact that if one planets distance
from the sun was four the next
outward would be eight, the next
sixteen and so on. These figures
have to be modified by constant
number, but they show the ma
ture of the interplanetary gaps.
Now BODIES law is becoming ae-
cepted.
Kepler found another puzzling
law. Multiply a planets distance
from the sun twice by itself and
the result is the same number as
multiplying the planets time for
circling the sun once by itself.
Mr.. Todd says Kepler's law may
apply only to planets at Bodies
law distances from the sun. In
that case Newton's law applies
only to those distances, and gravi-
tation may be different else
where. .

sponsible to Congress as well as
the White House.
In other words, the opposition
to the bill is, based on the undeni-
able fact that ii gives the Execu-
tive greater authority over the
machinery of 'government-its
bureaus, its personnel and its fl
nanees--than. was. ever known in
peace-time in this country. Worst
of all, they feel is the chance
the bill would give any President
to extend the patronage system
on an unprecedented scale, at the
expense of the merit system.
So far as the bills experience
in Congress is concerned, it at
first seemed that it would pass in
practically its original form. But
on April 2, a tremendous hitch
struck Administration plans,
when the House refused, by the
relatively close vote of l9l to
l59, to approve motion which
would have paved the way to an
immediate ending of debate The
Administration leaders almost
Immediately agreed to a very inn
portant comprise-to rephrase the
bin so that Congress could veto
Presidential reorganization orders
by simple majority instead OF
a two thirds vote. This is far
more than a mere statistical COM
promise-any President, unless
he be hopeleSsly unpopular, can
command one more than a third
of the membership of either or
both branches. But, in great is
sues, bare majority vote can be
created against the plans of even
a very popular president-aS the
vote defeating the Supreme
Court bin proved.
The outlook now is that the re-
organization plan will pass. with
the bare majority plank includ-
ed. But neither passage nor de-
feat of the bill will write fms
to its dramatic chapter in Ameri-
can history--it will unquestion-
ably be major political issue in
the coming November elections,
and again in the general elections
