Grover w. Ayers. executive secre-
tary of the Ten Mile Club, got out
his fighting togs today and decided
to wage war on most of the radio
announcers - including Lowell
Thomas-who intimate in their
broadcasts that Washington IS a
hot town.
Once, it might have been hot
Epot, but not now" declares Mr..
Ayers, who points to the unusual
weather.
Why he said, I'VE had to turn
the heat on in our apartment last
highland friends of mine out in
the Chevy Chase area lighted fires
in their fireplaces."
Still, with all this-and the call for
overcoats and blankets at night
Mr.. Ayres declares the Lowell
Thomases ct al, and especially the
announcers from Chicago, adversely
advertise Washington weather; es-
pecially when they mention Con-
eress. And they usually mention
Congress.
Poor Congressman, sWeltering
down there in the heat Of Washing
ton" they say. Whereas. If the
truth were known. the Congressman
have laid aside their seersuckers and
have taken out their winter cloth
ing.
Statistics show. according to Mr.
Ayres, that Washington-at the mo-
ment-is the coolest city in the
United States.
why doesn't somebody call at
tention to that?" asks Mr.. Ayres.

enough the astronomer can tell what
the light source is made of. since
the wave lengths omitted by diff
ferent elements are distinct.
In the spectra of the supernovae
these lines have been crushed to-
gether into broad bands which can
not be interpreted. Astronomers
have assumed that this must be due
TO some unknown force. differing
from anything ever encountered on
earth. Such a force might obtain
with temperatures ranging around
million degrees.
The effect can be explained lust
as well and more logically. DR..
Payne-Gaposchkin said, by the ex-
traordinary velocity of the gasses
in the exploring stars. This is about
1000 miles second. Her demon
stration took the form of a hypo-
thetlcal reconstruction of how the
spectrum of a supernova would ap-
pear under the following assumed
conditions: Temperature of about
10000; comparable to that of ordi-
nary new stars; star made up OF
the common elements, hydrogen.
helium. iron, carbon. nitrogen, and
oxygen-the basic elements found
in all heavenly bodies. and finally
an explosive gas velocity of 1000
miles a second
The artifically constructed spec
trum, she showed, tallies almost de-
tail for detail with the observed
spectre of the great explosion stars.
The cause of the explosions is as
much a mystery as ever, it was ex-
planned. but DR.. Payne Gaposchkin
told of researches she has conducted
with Dr.. Fred L. Whipple of the

cate that they might be due to the

Senate Orders Probe
Of Park Management
By Mcclellan Foe
BoIIot- MARKING Charge
Is Added to Scope Of
Eokin Inquiry

The next round in the battle be-
tween Senator McKellar, Democrat,
of Tennessee, on one hand, and Sec
retary of the Interior Ickes and J..
Ross Eakin. superintendent of the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park, on the other. will come in the
January session of Congress.
The Senate yesterday directed an
investigation into the management
of the park by Supt. Eakin, whose
removal has been sought by the
Tennessee Senator and as vigorously
opposed by Secretary Ickes. A re-
port, with recommendations. will be
made next winter.
The resolution Of inquiry, intro
duced by Senator Mcclellan. was
passed when Senator Vandenberg,
Republican, of Michigan, who twice
before had blocked action, withdrew
his objections. This was done follow
ing acceptance by Senator Nickel
lar of an amendment directing the
probe by the Senate Public Lands
Committee instead of a special COM
mittee of five and introduction by
Senator McKellar of another amend
ment to embrace a 1886 ballot
smearing' episode within its scope.
Backed by Ickes.
Senator McKellar first demanded
Mr.. Eakin's removal several months
ago on the grounds that the park
superintendent was a West Virginia
Republican and that he got around"
civil service regula tions to appoint
Republicans to his force
Secretary Ickes ordered an in
vestigation and said later Mr.. Eakin
had complied with all civic service
regulations and was doing a good
Job"
Repeated criticism from Senator
McKellar led the Park Service to
direct Mr.. Eakin's transfer to the
superintendency of the Shenandoah
National Park, but Secretary Ickes
Cancelled the order of transfer when
he said Senator McKellar objected
to Mr.. Eakin's continuing in the
Government service at all.

ate defending Mr.. Eakin and saying
the Mckellar charges that he was
guilty of gross mismanagement and
probably dishonest involved only

ton officials at Gatlnburg made
affldavitS that they Smeared Mr..
Eakins 1886 election ballot with ink
to identify it, later gave it to
Knoxville attorney who transmitted
1t to Senator McKellar.
Those election officials said they
saw Mr. Eakin's ballot and that he
voted for Alf Landon. the Repub-
llcan nominee. for President.
Mr.. Eakin made an affidavit saw
ing he voted for President Roosevelt
and that any Landon ballot was not
his
