GLEIWITz, Germany, Aug. 10
Upper Silesian newspapers under
large headlines today reported al
legged acts of terrorism by Poles
across the nearby border at Kato-
vice, Krolewska Huta and neighbor-
ing villages.
The entire press carried figures
released by the official German
news agency giving as more than
10000 the number of "Volks-
deutsche," Germans of Polish citi-
zenship, who it charged had been
forced by brutal treatment" to flee.
For most of these fugitives," the
newspaper GleiwitZ Oberschlesische
Volkstimme said, work in the Reich

Refugee Quarters Rising.
Local sources said that refugee
quarters to be seen rising on the
German side of the border would
hold the workers only until they
have been assigned to projects under
way deeper in German territory.
This district, center of Germany's
Southeastern iron industry, is only
about one-fifth the size it was before
the delineation of the border by the
Versailles commission. Pre-war
German plants now are in Polish ter
ritory, financed in part by American
capital.

settlement of the entire Danzig-
Polish Corridor -Silesian question.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

While making tests with elec-
tricity. a British scientist pumped
the air out of a glass tube, or at
least he took as much air from 1t
as possible. leaving only tiny bit.
Two wires had been sealed into
the tube, one at each end.
The scientist was Prof. William
Crookes. He sent a strong current
of electricity through the glass tube
from one wire to the other. This
produced a greenish glow.
In later years scientists in many
countries used "Crookes tubes" in
tests with electric currents. One
man who did this was German,
William Roentgen. He learned that
when the tube was in action 1t
could send rays through a sheet OF
cardboard. This gave him an idea
and he made tests to find other
things which the rays might pass
through. He also learned a way
to make photographs of shadows
cast by certain objects in the path
OF the rays.
On the day before Christmas,
1895, Roentgen told group of SCI
entists what he had learned about
the rays, which he called "X-rays."
He displayed a picture of leather
pocketbook with keys and coins
showing through the leather and
q view Of a human hand with the
bones plainly to be seen through
the flesh.

pain and danger to a wounded
soldier.
Another important use Of x-rays
is in making photographs of broken
bones. A doctor may have a hard
time learning whether a bone is
broken unless he can "see" the
bone with the X-ray.
Every up-to-date hospital now
has one or more X-ray machines.
There. are certain kinds of illness
which a good doctor will not treat
without X-ray pictures.
In early years Of the X-ray art
1t was possible to show bones inside
the body, but not such q vital organ
as the stomach. Since then ways
have been found to photograph
some Of the vital organs. Patients
have been fed with q "bismuth'
compound and, more recently, with

Overton
Continued From First Page !

Maddox said that the pending bill
goes far in the right direction
toward q more equitable Federal
share.
The subcommittee, with Senator
Overton, Democrat, of Louisiana,
presiding. was to remain in session
this afternoon to hear District on
cials.
Partnership Is Emphasized.
Mr.. Tucker, who has been presi-
dent OF the Northeast Association
for the last As years, also joined
IN calling attention to the number
OF families moving out into Mary
land and Virginia suburbs in recent
years, to emphasize rigid boundaries
OF the District, within which the
taxable area Is steadily reduced as
Government holdings increase. He
urged Congress to keep in mind the
TACT that maintenance of the Ma
tional Capital is a partnership un-
dertaking and that the Federal
as well as the local partner should
DO its proper part. The present
lump sum, he said, is unjust to the
District.
Mr.. Henry brought out the fact
that what Is now Arlington County,
Va, was once part of the Dis
trict. He said he did not know by
what authority Congress ceded the
area back to Virginia and realized
this is not the time to argue that
question. He wanted to make the
point, however, he said. that that
territory is no longer a part of the
taxable area Of the original seat of
government.
When Mr.. Henry expressed thanks
to Senator Overton for his effort
to solve the fiscal relations problem
the Senator replied he was anxious
to see it definitely settled, because
as chairman of the Senate Subcom-
mlttee on District Appropriations
ne did not want annually to have
the headache of determining what
the Federal payment should be-"
Assessments Described.
Examined by Senator Overton re-
garding comparisons of property tax
burdens between Washington and
other cities, Mr.. Carruthers sup
ported the testimony given Tues
day by District Auditor Donovan to
the effect that while most cities re-
quire true value assessments in their
laws "the practice is entirely differ
ent."
Auditor Donovan previously told
the subcommittee that assessments
In Washington are up at least to 80
per cent of full value, whereas many
other cities assess at so per cent or
less.
Senator Overton also placed in the
record statement from B. M. Nc
Kelway. managing editor of The
Star. indorsing the bill and outlining
the fundamental principles on which
the Federal obligation to share in the
cost Of maintaining and developing
the Nations city rests.

the result Of q bitter lacing handed

eral in the House of Delegates.
Delegate John 8. White, Prince
Georges Democrat who is chairman

and majority floor leader, was
handed two rebuffs when the House
passed a bill to ban public sale of
fireworks.
Mr.. White waged q rousing, but

to substitute a regulatory" measure
amid cries from opponents that
delegates had been bought of by q

Mr.. White had resorted to parlia-

to the floor the fireworks measure
already approved by the House and
almost succeeded In substituting his
regulatory measure. He marshalled
So votes, but his opponents gathered
81, exactly the number needed for

Although the defeat was on an
incidental measure not connected
with the administration program,
legislators speculated there might
be repercussions the next time Mr..
White takes the floor to shepherd
an administrative proposal.
The Senate, in It's longest meeting
