Lionel Soriano and Danilo Mar

county Jail, charged with having
stolen an automobile belonging
to a Mr.. Duffy, who is employed

Mr.. Duffy had entered the

la satisfactory thread, DR.. Bode
said.
The present chief source of
book papers in the United States
is second growth hardwood trees
of the eastern mountain ranges,
such as oak, gum, tupelo and
poplar. These yield only a frac-
ton of cord per acre per year,
while Australian pine will grow
-Four to six cords. In addition to
it's rapid growth, it offers the
advantage of low-coSt bleaching.
Australian pine pulp is soft
and short fibered, with a good
interlocking character that should
make it an excellent filler for
book paper when combined with
bleached Kraft fiber or bleached
sulphite pulp, DR.. Bode declar-
red. "Unbeaten, hand couched
mats prepared in our laboratory
were found to be 10 percent
stronger than yellow typewriter
second sheets, weight for weight.
''The wood requires delicate
control to produce pulp of proper
characteristics and is subject to
overlooking. However. with
proper methods it presents no diff
ficulty. We have developed an
electrical method of control, using
a Wheatstone bridge to determine
the relationship between the cleo
trical resistance of the cooking
liquors and the alpha cellulose
content of the resulting pulp.
This method suggets a posi-
bility for the manufacture of gun
cotton.
The Australian pine is not
really pine, DIR. Bode explain
ed, but it is native of Australia

where the mean temperature OF
the coolest month is not below

try means central and southern
Florida, southern Texas and
southern California. 1t grows IS

inch trunk; Sc feet tall in IL
years with trunk Is to 20 inch
es in diameter. In its native land
the tree reaches a height of 15C
feet with a trunk diameter of 1f
feet.
DR.. Bode said there are
/ grcwfhs of Australian pine
on the Florida Keys which
| would furnish sufficient
/ timber for pilot paper mills.
! On Davis Island in Tampa Bay
rows of these trees were planted
IL years ago for windbreaks
They are reseeding themselves
and showing their usual rapid
growth.
Florida has vast areas of sandy
plains and near deserts where
few plants will grow because Of
the long dry season and pool
soil. Australian pine will thrive
on such land, increasing the
fertility as it grows, DR.. Bode de.
clared.

TAMPA, Dec. ga means for
utilizing the large areas of sandy
waste lands which are inter
spersed with Florida's citrus
groves, fresh water lakes and
.swamps is suggested by the re-
suits of scientific investigation
conducted by University of Tam
pa chemistry students under di-
rection of Prof. Donald D. Bode.
The work was begun three
years ago as a practical method
of showing students how to at
tack research problems. The task
assigned was to find CONNER
cial uses for Australian pine, a
nuisance tree that grows five
times as fast as jack pine and
thrives in places where only cac-
tus and sea grass grow native,
with wood too hard to saw but
which splits when a nail is driven
through it.

signed and constructed them

cellulose. The alpha cellulose
requirement for the viscose rayon
process is 81 percent minimum.
"While our present equipment

Legal Time!
 Just See Clock Al Anchorage
More about the time:

More about the time:
 If you want to get technical about it, says Assistant U. s. Attorney George w. Folta, the legal time for all of Alaska is l50th meridian time, which is not Seattle time, not Juneau time, but the standard now in effect at Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 Folta looked up the time laws 10 answer an argument raised by At torneys R. E, Robertson and Ca se Grigsby, who contended in a fish trap case before the District Court this week that legal time here is Seattle time.
 Act Of Congress
 In l9l8.. Folta found, Congress passed an act dividing the 43 Unit ed States into four time zones and making a fifth zone of all of Alas ka, which was placed legally on 150th meridian time.
 AS far as legal liabilities and op- ligations in Alaska are concerned, 150th meridian time is in effect Fol ta says.
 Thus when the clocks here point to noon, it is legally II o'clock all over Alaska.
 And about the time zones fixed by international convention: 
 Fisheries IIme
 Folta says the time standard changes half way in between the 15 degree lines which mark off the hours. Thus 120th meridian (Se- attle time) ends at the 127Ia med idian. This puts both Juneau and Funter Bay, where the fish trap at issue in the suit is located, in the zone of 18th meridian (Juneau) time.
 But no matter what the Congress sional or international or local tune might have been at Funter Bay, l'olta contended, the time which applies legally in fisheries matters is 135th meridian tJuneaW time, adopted for all of Southeast Al-' aska in the fisheries regulations.
 Attorneys Robertson and Grigsby contended the Secretary of Com merce was without authority to adopt time standard for fisheries regulations, but Judge George F Alexander ruled in favor of Folta ca the matter. ,<.
