Einstein Ammo unces New
Theory Of c. ovitotion

physics has been a history of uni
fication,
For example. heat as a mode of
motion for a long time was not
recognized. Light and electricity
were believed separate until inves-
tieators discovered that light and
electric waves were the same.
Gradually sound came to be un-
derstood as vibration, movement OF
waves through the air. Acoustics
were linked with mechanics. Elec-
tricity was linked with light and
finally electricity was linked with
mechanics. The cycle was COM
plete except for an understanding
of gravitation.
With these advanced concepts
scientists also obtained proof that
all matter is made up of particles
and that these particles are cleo
tricity. Electricity, in turn, may
travel in waves.
The tentative theory advanced
by Einstein two years ago was that
particles were bridges in space.
This. however, was not borne ouS
completely. \

 The jury and defendants were mo- tified to remain away, today but counsel agreed to be on hand for Judge Inglis' ruling on which por- tions of the testimony would be available.
 When court resumes tomorrow, defense counsel undoubtedly will read the minutes of the grand jury testimony to Williamson and ask him to verify 1t. Their purpose is to impeach him as states witness.
 As they read, the formula will be, for questioning, Were you asked that question and did you make that answer" ..
 Trust The Court
 One of the humorous incidents of the day occurred late yesterday when Judge Inglis indicated that he might distribute the minutes to counsel after court was adjourned He halted, however, and said, But I suppose, MT. Alcorn you will want it on the record that the minutes were turned over"
 Attorney Murray interrupted, smiling, Perhaps MT. Alcorn might trust the court"
 "Why embarrass me?" asked AL corn, with a laugh.

pany, and aided the firm In some or its financing.
 Business Men Amazed
 Return of the indictments last week amazed the nations business world. The lengthy and serious list of charges came as a shock that cli- maxed the detailed investigation that began last December following the suicide of F. Donald Coster at his palatial home in Fairfield, Conn. Coster committed suicide after he was unmasked as Philip Musica, central figure in the notorious "hu- man hair" swindle of pre-war days. He had achieved place of solid responsibility in the highest finan- cial circles.
 Revelation after revelation came as the investigation proceeded, and federal grand jury was impanelled to sift the evidence. MT. Phillips was one of the many witnesses called before the federal investigat- ing body.
 UneXpected ShOck Indictment of MT. Phillips came as an unexpected shock to Water bury. Prominent in local business for the past 24 years, he has served as a director of many companies, is president of the Country club oi Waterbury, and one of the city's leading citizenS).
 The conspiracy court in the in- dictment charged that Phillips Merwin, McGloon, the three Musica brothers, the two Jenkins, and Simon conspired to deceive and defraud holders of McKesson & Robbins Stock. Secret meetings of Phillips and Merwin with Coster-Musica are alleged to have taken place.
 The mail fraud counts allege that the accused diverted money belong ing to McKesson & Robbins through i two other companies, one in Mary land and one in Canada. It is claimed that assets of dummy com panies were falsely marked up by $21, ,000, ,0OO, and that non-existent warehouses were listed as assets. False Statements
 The counts charging violation of SEC regulations allege that false statements concerning McKesson & Robbins assets were filed with the New York Stock Exchange in the years 1886, 1897 and 1888.
 Special Assistant Attorney-G Gen. eral Brien McMahon has directed the investigation. There is a pos sibility that federal grand jury may be called in Connecticut to in- vestigate alleged ramifications of the McKesson & Robbins swindle In that state.
 Another grand jury irnpanelled by the U. s. government is to continue the probe in New York. The in- dictments returned last week were filed the day before the grand jury then in session ended its term. High Bail Is Mystery It was not immediately indicated today whether higher bail was set

ALBANIA HAS MALE
 HEIR TO THRONE
Ccontinued from Page D

Queen Geraldine had been attend ed for several weeks by Prof. Will helm weibel, a famous gynacolog- ist of Vienna.
 It was announced that both the Queen and her baby were well.
 Albanians, who had been awaiting the birth eagerly in hope that a boy, and a direct heir to the throne would be born, were advised of the news by salute of 101 guns.
 Govt. Reacts To Italy
 The governments reaction to re- ports that Italy intended to exert a protectorate over Albania, with the consent of King Fog, was this official statement:
 Some foreign newspapers and ra- dio stations have announced that 8 protectorate over Albania was inn minent.
 "This news must be considered as having no foundation, since Alba mia would never allow her indepen- dence and integrity to be violated
 Queen Geraldine is the former Countess Geraldine Apponyi, daugh- ter of the late Count Anton Appo- nyi, Hungarian Hussar officer, and Gladys Virginia Stewart of New York. Queen Geraldine's mother is now the wife of French nobleman
 The new he irto the throne has American Mayflower blood on his mothers side. His mothers father was member of one of Hungary's great noble families. By King Fog he traces his descent back to the 11th century.

 Home for Daughter
 In making his announcement, Hopkins said he was motivated only by desire to establish a home for his motherless daughter, Diana, 2.
 Because of his official duties in Washington-and Hopkins said he had no intention of resigning-he will have little or no opportunity to live in his new home.
 Politically experts agree that Hop- kins' chances for the Democratic nomination would be considerably augmented if he went before the convention as an Iowan rather than from New York, his home before he went to Washington to become one of the brightest lights of the New Deal, so close to MT. Roosevelt that he has often been called "the crown prince"
 Hopkins returned to his native state soon after he was promoted from administrator of the Works Progress Administration to the cabi- net to make his first speech as secre- tary of commerce. At that time, one of Iowa's Democratic national com- mitteemen was quoted in some news papers as saying that he was lining up Iowa's delegation for Hopkins and hoped to be appointed to fed eral post under the jurisdiction of the secretary of commerce. This was forcefully denied later by the com- mitteeman and by Hopkins.
 President Fond of Him
 Hopkins accompanied President Roosevelt here from Washington to recover from influenza. The presi- dent is fond of him personally and respects his judgment and political courage and observers here were in- clined to the belief that MT. Roose- welt might have encouraged his de- cision with a view toward the 194O Democratic convention.
 Since his wife's death two years ago the Roosevelts have cared for Diana, both at the White House and at Hyde Park, N. Y.
 President Roosevelt issued proc lamation declaring May l Child Health Day and calling on every community to observe it.
 He asked communities ito con- slider how the knowledge of the best methods of promoting health may be spread among all those respon- sible for the care of children and how proper provision may be made to insure care for the health of all children"

Nazi Press Ritter

Berlin, April 5.-(UP).- The Nazi press today denounced British dec- larations of naval preparedness as the final "madhouse" stage of a "hate campaign" against Germany.
 In new burst of abuse against Great Britain on the grounds that she is attempting to encircle and strangle Germany, the press em- phasized the statement of Earl Stan- hope, first lord of the British ad- miralty, that the British fleet had taken precautions for any eventual fly.
 "It sound like something out of madhouse," said the Lokalanzeiger. "This British action is certainly the most serious and most grave attack yet made on any peace policy. The sensational reports of the English press about Albania belong to the same chapter"
 The BoersenZeitung said that the Stanhope incident was information ally staged and is mere atrocity propaganda"

for MT, Phillips and MT. Merwin be- cause they were allegedly more prominent in the purported swindle than the remaining accused.
 The grand jury charged that Mir. Phillips and the other defendants made fraudulent representations to victims of the alleged swindle, that they allegedly represented them selves as qualified to hold their im- portant positions, that they would perform their duties faithfully, that they would verify the firms ac- counting and records, that they would see that company money was properly used.
 Other Claims Made
 It is further claimed that the de- fendants falsely and fraudulently" received from the company salaries, fees, bonuses, commissions and other compensation. Fictitious payments and purchases are alleged to have been made to defraud the stockhold- CTS of the McKesson & Robbins Go. False representations were alleged ly made to stockholders, intended to deceive the victims" The victims, it is charged, were induced to part with their money, and the accused converted and appropriated this money to their own use.
 Sets of False Records
 The grand jury charged that sets of false records were prepared by the defendants, and that these were represented as authentic. The pur- pose of the accused, allegedly, was to Hull the stockholders of said cor porations into sense of security"
 The next step in the governments sensational Investigation and its even more sensational results will be the appearance of MT. Phillips and the other defendants in court May Il. Formal pleadings on behalf of the accused will be filed at that time. Postal Inspectors to Probe
 Postal inspectors ordered to in- vestigate affairs of Rowley w. Phillips, chairman of the board of the R. F. Griggs Company, and the company's connection with the Mo- Kesson and Robbins case, started work today in Waterbury under di- rection of United States Attorney John T. Cahill of New York.
 While the local broker was ap- bearing in United States District court at New York, the first of the inspectors to arrive here was pre- pairing to follow orders to interro- gate Waterbury stockholders in Mo- Kesson and Robbins who had pur- chased their stock from the local investment concern.
 Assistant United States Attorney Irving Kaufman, who represented Phillips and eight other defendants in court today on IA counts of con- spiracy, mail fraud and SEC vio- lations, told The Democrat this noon that there will be number of postal inspectors operating in Wa
