Point, as flogger was Levi Conkle,
29-year-old metal worker Of Hape-
vile, another suburb.
Mr.. Conkle testified at the Su-

a night-riding band lashed him
and his 50-year-old father last Sep
tember Is. telling them they had
been drinking too much.
Other witnesses told of having
their clothes stripped off by night
riders and their hands and feet
held while a barbarously- welded lash
dug into their bare flesh.
Black hooded lashers came damn

husky cotton mill worker and c.

said they lured him from his home
on the pretense of being officers,
and gave him Is or more lashes.

going to break up these damn

Lightweight Helium Has
Little Commercial Value

Practical commercial utility Of
the lightweight" helium discovered
in the air by University of Califor-
MIA scientists remains extremely
doubtful, the scientists have report
ed.
DR.. Luis w. Alvarez, assistant
professor of physics, who, with Rob-
ert Cornog, graduate student from
Denver, detected submicroscopic
quantities of the lightweight helium
in ordinary air, reported the dis
covery is considered important to
the science of physics, but its pos
sible use in commercial form, such
as in lighter than air craft, is very
much in doubt.
Reason why the commercial util-
ity of lightweight helium is extreme
ly doubtful is that no method has
yet been devised to extract any type
of helium from the air in disable
commercial quantities.
The scientists made their discov-
cry with the aid of the university's
225-ton atom smashing cyclotron.
The United States has a monop-
oily on heavy helium which has a
lifting power 92.3 per cent that of
hydrogen, the lightest known gas.
