Persistent Boy
Wins Autograph
OfFlyerHu

It took more than several policemen
and three or four hearty rebuffs to
keep Joe Measell, 15-year-old Star
carrier from getting the priced auto
graph of Aviator Howard Hughes dur
ing the -millionaire's visit to
Washington.
Elected several times when he at
tempted 10 see Hughes in the Press
Club, young Measell finally entered the
elevator with the flyer on the thir-
teenth floor, only to be thrown out
by members of the Hughes party.
Beating the aviator down to the
first floor by means of another elevator
the Star carrier approached the
Hughes party as it left the elevator
with a book and pencil, only to be
thrown bodily out of the way by police
Bring that fellow here" called out
Hughes, apparently impressed by the
youngsters persistence "In give him
a signature even if haven't time for
any more"
The boys pencil was lost in the
last shuttle, SO Hughes pulled one out
of his own pocket, dashed off his
signature on blank page of the boys
book and patting him on the back
said: There you are bud"
Il certainly appreciate it, sir"
Don't mention it," replied the
aviator.
The boy looked at the title of his
book, on blank back page of which
ne now had the cherished signature.
The title suited him. 1t was Shakes
peare'S "As You Like It."

on him.
Il am not having any feminine en-

added, as his fan mail grew into a

Corrigan went calling today on

of unoh1cial American Ambassador.
His first engagement was with Fire S
police chief, but, still conscious of
his lack Of papers when he landed his
5000 9-year-old "crate" here Monday,
he explained quickly: "He only wants
to hear about my flight"
He also is going to see the Fire Army
chief, Gen. Michael Brennan.
Still cold to offers of stage. screen
and writing contracts, Corrigan de-
clared:
Il will see about that half million
dollars which seems to be waiting to
pour into my lap when I get home,
but I refuse to commercialize my

immediately to supplement inadequate

raise the income of the region as q

OF those who need to spend it. The

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 22.-The Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission, In q
bill of complaint filed in the United
States District Court today, charged
the Associated Gas 6s Electric Sys-
tenn with violation Of the Public Util-
ity Holding Company Act Of 1895 and
the Securities Act Of 1893.
The s. e. c. action arose as a re-
suit Of the systems efforts to extend
the Associated Gas & Electric Corp.
512 per cent convertible investment
certificates which mature November Is.
Attorneys for S. E. c. sought q pre-
liminary injunction against the util-
ity company.
This is the first action Of its kind
since the 1885 holding company leg
islation was held constitutional by
the Supreme Court in the Electric
Bond & Share case.
The S. E. c. was divided into three
parts:
l. 1t charged the utility system with
violation of the 1885 Holding Com
pany Act, in that it did not ask the
approval Of the commission before it
sought extension of the investment
certificates. The company seeks to
extend the certificates from / to S
years.
2. The S. E. G. further charged that
the plan for extension of the certifi-
Gates is, in effect, a plan for reor-
ganization and must be filed with and
approved by the commission. This
the complaint said, was not done by
the Associated Gas & Electric Co.
3. The third section of the COM
plant involves the Securities Act of
1888. charging the company with SELL
ing securities without registering them
with the commission, as required by
the act.

By the Associated Press.
A request for international arbitra-
ton of the seizure of American farm
lands by the Mexican government
went to Mexico today from Secretary
Of State Hull.
Mr.. Hull, in strong note to the
Mexican Ambassador, Francisco Cas-
tillo Najera, termed appropriation
without just compensation "conf1sca-
tion." He invoked the inter- American
treaty of arbitration, signed here in
1929.
Involved are an estimated 1000, 900
acres of land, taken since 1927. The
moderate sized farms alone are valued
by their owners at $10,132,388.
Although pressing for adequate,
prompt payment for the agrarian
holdings, the American note ignores
the question Of the American oil prop
critics appropriated in March BY
Mexico.
Persons close to President Roosevelt
said recently that the United States
would not press the claims of oil
property owners. These persons con-
tended that the holdings had been
greatly overvalued at s150,00o.000.
Rights Are Recognized.
Secretary Hulls note acknowledged
the Mexican governments right to
appropriate property-provided it made
full. immediate compensation. The
United States exercised the same right,
the note said, In acquiring land to be
retired from farming. clearing slums,
building power dams and preserving
resources-but it paid for it.
THE surest way of breaking up the
good neighbor policy" Mr.. Hull said
would be to allow the impression that
it permits the disregard of the just
rights Of the nationals of one country
owning property in another country.
I'VE cannot admit that q foreign
government may take the property OF
American nationals in disregard OF
the rule Of compensation under inter-
national law. Nor can we admit that
any government unilaterally and
through its municipal legislation can
as in this instant case, nullify this
universally accepted principle of inter-
national law, based as it is On reason
equity and justice"
Sees Friendship Unimpaired.
Secretary Hull said he could not
conceive that insistence on the right
of compensation would impair the
warm friendship" between the gov
ernments and peoples of the two
countries.
He reminded the Mexican govern
ment that the two countries have
pursued constantly expanding pro-
gram of financial, economic and moral
cooperation" and that the United
States desired to continue it.
IT Mexico accepts the proposal for
arbitration, each country will noni-
nate two arbitrators. One may be an
American and one a Mexican, but the
other two must be of some other West.

Prof. C. Potapenko of the physics
department is the man whose find
ings may yield these important
practical results. For more than
year he has been investigating the
absorption of short radio waves e
inches to feet in lengthy as they
pass through many substances.
Contrary to present-held theories
the point of maximum absorption
seemed not to depend greatly on the
size of the molecules in the sub.
stance, but rather on the size of
part of the molecule which can be
called the tail" This ''tail' seems
to rotate freely about the axis of
such molecules as those of alcohol.
To Produce Selective Heating.
The exact knowledge of the max
imum of absorption is necessary to
produce the selective heating of spe-
cific organs or parts of the body.
Those parts containing molecules
with orienting tails" can be easily
administered the sought-for selec-
tive heating treatment.
All that is necessary, points out
Professor Potapenko, is to tune the
radio wave generator to the wave
length corresponding to the maxi
mum of absorption. Otherwise the
effect is one of general heating
like that now used to produce a gen.
eral artificial. fever in the whole
body.
