was widely known among geologists
as a specialist on formations and
ancient faunas of the rocks of the
carboniserous period. He contrib
uted directly to the solution of geo.
logic problems in nearly every State
and in Alaska.
Basis for Development.
A large part of DR.. Girtys work
served as tie basis for the develop
ment of knowledge of the geology of
many parts of the Western and
Southwestern sections of the United
States. His publications still are
almost the only reference works on
his speciality in many States. His
work aided, indirectly, to the discov-
cry of large potash, coal and metal
deposits which are of great impor-
tance to the United States. One of
his greatest contributions to science
was his correct Interpretation of the
Permian rocks of the Southwest.
The results of DR.. Girtys investi-
cations are in many scientific jour-
nails and in many professional pa
pers and bulletins of the Geological
Survey. In addition, he wrote ar
ticles on phases of the geology of
various foreign countries. He was
widely quoted as an authority.
Graduate of Yale.
A native of Cleveland, DR.. Girty
received an A. B. degree from Yale
University in 1892 and his Phi. D..
degree there in 1894. He was a fell
low of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science,
member of the Geological Society
of America, the Washington Acad-
emy of Science. the archaeological
Society of America and the Geo.
logical Society of Washington. He
also was an active member of the
Arts Club and belonged to its board
of governors.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Elizabeth Washburn Girty.

Subcommittee Passes
Virginia Judge Fight

Judiciary Unit to Weigh
Nomination Opposed
By Glass Next Week
By the Associated Press


A Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
yesterday reported to the full COM
mittee without recommendation"
the nomination of Floyd Roberts of
Bristol, Va, to be judge on the
Western District of Virginia.
The action leaves up to the full
committee determination of what
Recommendation to make to the
Senate. The subcommittee was
composed of Senators Pittman,
Democrat. of Nevada, chairman;
Van Nuys, Democrat. of Indiana
and Borah, Republican, of Idaho.
Chairman Ashurst Immediately
called a meeting of the full COM
mittee Wednesday to consider the
nomination.
Senators Glass and Byrd. Demo-
crat, of Virginia. who have expressed
vigorous objection to the appoint
ment. are expected to be heard. as
we'll as advocates of the appoint
ment.
The appointment of Judge Roberts
was recommended by Representative
Flanagan, Democrat, of Virginia.
Senator Glass, who previously ad-
vised the Judiciary Committee the
appointment was utterly and per-
sonally obnoxious to him and Sem
ator Byrd. said last night he hoped
to obtain an adverse report on the
nomination to the Senate, which, if
not overridden by the Senate, would
result in definite rejection of the
nomination, and require a new
nomination by the President.
Judge Roberts was given recess
appointment to the judgeship,
created by the last session of Con-
gress, Immediately after the ses-
sion adjourned. Senators Glass
and Byrd, in stating their OBJ
jections to the appointment. charged

lar to X-rays-With tremendous
voltages. The result is that it
eventually becomes lead. But the
greatest voltage behind any Of these
radium emissions is only about T.
100000. The difference between this
and the new process is like the diff
ference between chipping bit of
a stone and breaking it in two.
Entire Atoms Discharged.
This means that relatively enor-
nous particles-entire atoms-are
being shot into space with forces
of this order back of them. Hitherto
only the fundamental particles of
matter-protons, neuptrons and
electrons-have been produced in
radio-activity.
Hitherto such energies have been
known only in connection with
cosmic rays, the mysterious particles
of light and matter constantly bonn
harding the surface of the earth
from outer space and hurled with
the tremendous forces generated in
the explosions of stars or in the
creation of new forms of matter.
The ekauranium disintegration en-
ergies fall within the lower range of
cosmic rays. Physicist have dis
paired of ever producing anything of
the sort on earth.
The practical uses of the discovery
remain vague 1t may place hither-
to undreamed of resources in the
hands of physicists for experimental
purposes and help to clear up some
OF the outstanding mysteries of
creation. Something of the sort has
been postulated as source of a good
deal of the energy Of the sun. 1t is
now known that such things actually
happen.
AS a practical power source, the
new finding has at present no sig
nificance. Presumably only a minute
quantity of the ekauranium explodes
in this fashion and only minute
quantity can be produced by the
slow neutron bombardment. Act
ually, it was explained, this artificial
element is no more difficult to pro-
duce than any other radioactive
isotope, but none of them can be
produced in quantities greater than
q few grams.
Presumably the heavy particles
are shot out with all the energy of
cosmic rays themselves, and the
most powerful of these will 60
through a foot of lead as if it did
not exist. The biological results of
ekauranium bombardment remain
one of the most fascinating problems
OF the future.
The whole explosive process, it IS
calculated, takes place in something
less than the 10000, ,000, ,000, 900, ,000,-
OO0th part of a second after the slow
neutron is captured by the uranium
nucleus. 1t is so close to instanta-
neous, the physicists pointed out,
that 1t may seriously be questioned
whether the Ekauranium actually
can be said to exist at all.
