Is. U. Irregularities
Declared Suspected
For Some Time
University's Auditing
System Full Of
Holes, Says Leche
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
BATON ROUGE, La, June 30
An assertion by former Gov. Rich
ard w. Leche that irregularities
were suspected at Louisiana State
University several months ago TO-
cused attention today on statements
by officials involved in an order to
arrest Dr. James Monroe Smith two
hours after he resigned as president
Of the institution.
Ieche described the university
auditing system as "antiquated and
full of holes" and declared any
body could pocket money that
wanted to-"
At his Covington home, where he
retired after leaving office last Mon
day night-24 hours after Smith
gave him his reSignation-the
former Governor said the bald
educator was not arrested at the
time he quit because there was not
evidence for such drastic action at
that time" and I'VE couldn't hold
the man unless we were positive we
had something
QueStlOn ASKED anew.
Over the story of former Gov.
Leche's statement the New Orleans
Times-Picayune this morning re-
peated a headline which it has car
ried for several days: "A still per-
tinent question Could Jealous law
enforcement have prevented the
disappearance of DR.. James Monroe
Smith?"
Mr.. Leche said that Attorney
General David NJ Ellison, State Col
lector of Rvenue w. A Cooper and
Supreme Court Justice John Four
net were visiting" him when Smith
walked in and resigned, about "6; 30
or 7 pm" and then left. State
Supt. of Police Louis F. Guerre said
later he, too, had arrived at thet
Governor mansion about $50 pm.
Guerre said Ellison at 80 ordered
him to arrest Smith. When Guerre
went to Smiths home. he said. he
found the newly retired president
had disappeared with Mrs, Smith.
Asked what evidence was gathered
between $50 and $50 o'clock to
warrant the arrest of Smith, former
Gov. Leche said Ellison and Cooper
can answer that. They were ham
ding the investigation"
Declines Answer
Ellison, asked why there was a
lapse of two hours between the time
of Smiths resignation and the order
for his arrest, said You will have
to check with Gen. Guerre. He can
tell you all about the matter"
The university Board of Super
visors, which met late yesterday to
check on its minutes and records.
adjourned without comment, al
though Gov Earl K Long an
nounced appointment of Col Troy
Middleton, dean of administration
acting vice president and controller
with authority to hire an auditing
firm to check on the schools ac-
counts.
Officers here, convinced Smith and
his wife had bought a new automo-
bile in Detroit and entered Canada,
examined his home and found a note
indicating he had $4,000 insurance.
DR.. Paul NJ Hrbert, law dean,
named acting president of the uni
versity, in radio broadcast last
night asserted the school was under
going a reorganization" and en-
phaslzed that extreme caution was
oelng used in an investigation.

Worship Of Sun Linked
To Stone Age Farmers

Worship of the sun as a distinct
object apparently did not start until
the new Stone age, when man had
developed crude agriculture. In
the old Stone age all nature was
looked upon as "a great human
ghost" the spirits of the dead were
supposed to enter into natural OBJ
jects and the trees, animals, rocks
and clouds were endowed with hui
man qualities.
With the advent of crops regularly
sown and harvested, the one natural
object upon which these crops de-
pended was singled out for special
reverence, writes a correspondent
to the Wisconsin Star. A great
wealth of sun symbols is first noted
in this period of pre-history. The
paintings and carvings of old Stone
age men show no designs that can
be connected directly with the SUM-
Worship Of the sun has gone
around the earth. 1t was a prom
incnt part of the religion of ancient
Egypt, where at one time it was
refined into monothestic system
which ranks as one of the worlds
great religions. It was almost uni
versal among American Indian
tribes, reaching its greatest refine
ment among the Incas of Peru,
where the rulers were supposed to
be directly descended from the sun.
The japanese ruling family traces
it's neurological descent from the
same source.

Balloon Test Flights
Aid Airplane Pilots

Meteorologists who watch vari-
colored balloons float into the sky
are responsible for the most &C.
curate method devised for guiding
airplane pilots through hazardous
winds, according to Ebert F. Cor
win, Rensselaer, Polytechnic Insti-
tute meteorologist
The new technique, with its mar
roWed margin Of error, is expected
to prevent fiers from encountering
violent up-winds and treacherous
down-drafts that sometimes suck
planes into mountainsides. Pilots
will know at which levels they may
fly to avoid the currents.
Corwin said that the new method
utilized a geometrical principle, de-
termining distance through
angles. Weather observers at pres
ent base calculations on an assump-
ton that balloons always rise about
600 feet per minute.
CorWin and two student assist
ctiAC0, ot eAAO 4CHCCOt VI IiIO OiAtt(0
States weather bureau, for months
sent colored balloons into the air
and observed their flight to heights
of five miles and distances of from
10 to II miles.
1t was found that "up and down"
winds accelerated, slowed, or even
reversed, the balloons normal rate
Of climb. Thus, the Rensselaer,
findings showed, the pilot of an air.
plane might encounter violent winds
by trying to avoid them, because
winds, reported at 10000 feet, might
really be at 5000 or $4,000 feet.
The new method utilizes a small
balloon tied by a 100-foot line to the
main sounding" balloon. A special
theodolite, similar to those used by
weather observers and surveyors to
study angles, would then measure
the angle between it and the two
balloons. Calculations then deter
mine to within relatively few feet |
their height.

Opportunities Offered
In Homemade Equipment

Homemade equipment is only for
persons who have ideas of their
own. A farmer usually sees a
neighbours wagon, inspects it, and
goes home to build one for himself,
or lets his son do it.
Also, say engineers at the New
York State College Of Agriculture,
rubber-tired tractors have con-
WINGED farmers of the practicability
of rubber-mounted equipment.
In their opinion, start toward
bringing all the equipment up-to-
date is the farm wagon which can
be made easily and will cost about
$35, without box or rack. Auto run
ming gear, preferably with 600-16
tires, lends itself to easy tire re-
placement when the wagon is heavi-
ly loaded
The advantages of tires are lost, it
is said, with more than Is pounds
pressure in them. Used tires are
satisfactory if the wagon is used
on the farm and not behind truck
or car on the highway. If used on
the road as trailer, New York
state law requires that it be
equipped with brakes, lights. and
license.
Ensilage carts that push easily
over litter and other distractions
may be made at cost of from $40
to $25 for material and labor, &C.
cording to the engineers. A sturdy
handy cart for carrying milk cans
may be made from old auto wheels,
he says.
