HI-LIGHTS

What history may prove to be one
of the most important Presidential
campaigns in decades is at last in high
gear. The period of peace and quiet
which followed the nominations seems
% be definitely over.
During that period, there can be
no question but what the Willkie can
didacy suffered a slight let-down-his
friends admit it, even as his opponents
exult in it. But only the politically in
experienced believe that let-down was
necessarily of any particular signific-
ance. Mr.. Willkie was swept into the
Republican nomination on the crest of
wave of almost Unprecedented enthus
iasm, similar to that which gave Mr..
Roosevelt the Dd mocratic nomination
eight years ago. No one experienced
in politics believes that enthusiasm
could have been maintained undimm-
ed from nomination day to election
day. Willkie strategists deliberately
planned the let-down, knowing that it
had to come some time, and that the
earlier it came the better off his candi-
dacy Would be. History is studded
with dismal examples of candidates
who brought their campaigns to maxi
mum pitch too long before November
and, as a result, seemed to the voters
as stale as yesterdays beer by election
time.
On top of that, the Willkie camp
aign called for super-careful planning.
Ordinary issues are of little moment
today, with the national attention foe
used on war in Europe and defense at
home. Mr.. Willkie is not an 'a-ginner.
He endorses mang New Deal policies
in principle even as he denounces many
New Deal Methods. And so, almost
inevitably, it looks as if this campaign
will focus down to two ssues-one tan
gble, the other more or less intangible
but of immense potential Importance.
The tangible issue is that of adm
instration. Willkie hackers believe
that he could get more for each defense
dollar than could the present White
House group. They believe he could
steer a course which would be fairer to
all the diverse interests in this country
today-wprker and capitalist, farmer
and manufacturer, little business man.
reliefer, etc. And only the blindest
supporters of the New Deal fail to see
that it has made many grave mistakes
in the administrative field, even as ii
has made great advances in bringing
before the people problems which must
eventually be solved.
The intangible issue is that of the
third term-of one mans indispensab
ility. Mr.. Willlxie has been hitting thai
issue hard, and some of the experts be-
lieve that it may turn out to be the dec
isive issue of the campaign. No man
says Mr.. Willkie, is vital to the country
and once the idea gets aroung tha

Blind Flying on Large Scale
In Air Attacks Predicted
Seversky Doubts Winter Weather Will

tween German coastal bases and
London.
The German advantage is, there
fore. approximately 8 to l.
At the moment of releasing bombs.
German bearings will be about eight
times more precise than British
bearings over Berlin, simply because
the German radio beacons are eight
times closer to their target.
Radio beams spread out with dis
tance and are consequently wider,
less accurate, the farther they
travel. From widely separated bea-
cons on the French coast, Nazi avia-
ton can readily throw beams across
London almost at right angles.
Their area of intersection might be
roughly a square mile-a segment
small enough to compass specific
industrial districts and military OBJ
jectives.
The same sort of beam thrown
from England across Berlin would
be eight times as broad. Moreover.
the angle at which two beams could
intersect would be quite acute and
the segment cut off quite oblong.
While indiscriminate bombardment
of such sprawling target could be
accomplished, nothing approaching
the precision possible for the Nazis
would be available to their enemies.
Example Presented.
For example, If two German
broadcasting stations are located 100
miles from London and intersect
approximately at right angles. the
area over London covered by such
an intersection, due to the limita-
ton Of accuracy, would be approx
mately l mile in diameter.
British stations located in Eng
land, broadcasting signals for use
by British pilots over Berlin, would
be about 800 miles away and the
intersection would cover an area
Of miles in diameter.
Therefore. it is apparent that the
same number of bombs placed by
German aviators would be concen-
trated by eight times which would
assure a more thorough destruction
of an objective
The same argument applies to
the directional reception or system
OF radio bearings without reliance
on directional beams.
The question will be raised whether
the Germans have the equipment
for blind flying. While there have
been rumors Of German shortage
Of aviation instruments, they have
never been established
1t is safe guess that enough Of
Goering's bombers are fitted out
for radio navigation to make them
a dangerous enemy despite weather.

that the Nazi pilots are familiar

From my personal experience in
flying over Europe during the win

I know that flight in the overcast

To evade this hazard, the pilots
will have to 60 "over the top" above

Carnegie Institution
Scientist Presented
Hi||ebrand Award
Dr.. Gibson's Experiments
With Liquids Under
Pressure Win Prize

The annual Hillebrand award of
the Chemical Society of Washington
was presented to DR.. Ralph E. Glib
son of the Geophysical Laboratory
Of the Carnegie Institution at a
dinner meeting at the Cosmos Club
last night for discovery of hitherto
unsuspected mechaniSms governing
the behavior of liquids under high
pressures ranging upwards from l.
600 times the weight of air.
Among the findings described by
DR.. Gibson in his Hillebrand prize
address were that under heavy pres
sures some liquids become as much
as 500 times more heavy chemically
reactive than under normal atmos-
pheric pressure and that the color
OF some substances can be changed
markedly by putting heavy pres
sures upon them. Both these results
may have important practical bear
ings in the future, but are particu-
larly significant for the present in
shedding light on the internal struc-
ture of liquids.
Or. Gibson pictured the interior
Of a liquid as comparable to COM
binations of swinging rubber balls
the molecules. Each has a limited
free space in which to move. This
space is so arranged that under
normal pressure the balls seldom
hit each other. The speed of their
pendulum like motion is dependent
on the temperature. The "holes in

are constantly humping into each

are constantly humping into each
other.
And yet, DR.. Gibson said, the
actual range Of their swings is just
as great as ever. They are not in
compressible spheres, he explained,
but more like rather lightly inflated
rubber balls. When two hit they
penetrate into each other, thus max
ing up for the space lost by the
compression.
This has far-reaching effects on
the behavior Of che liquid. One of
the most significant Is the changes
which can be brought about in the
color of certain substances. The
color of anything depends on the
light 1t reflects. Conversely, 1t is
white light minus whatever wave
lengths are absorbed. In some way
not yet clearly understood, but for
which DR.. Gibson presented an
hypothesis, the absorption poten-
tialities are greatly changed by re-
ducing the size of the "holes."
Bears on Color Theory.
This is significant, chemists at
the meeting pointed out, because
Of its bearing on the fundamental
theory of color. The color of sub
stance is not altogether a function
of the radiation absorbing capacity
of its molecules themselves, but of
their movements in the free space
around them.
It now appears, DR.. Gibson said,
that color changes and chemical
reactivity 60 hand in hand. The
enormous speeding up Of reactions,
such as oxidation, has far-reaching,
practical possibilities, but for the
present, DR.. Gibson explained, such
a process costs several Thousand
dollars.
Water, he explained, is an ex-
ception among liquids in the ar
rangement of its molecules. This
makes possible the formation of
ice from the top down, because
the solid is lighter than the liquid.

water" through which the molecules
swing, DR.. Gibson said, amount to
about 1,000th Of the total volume.
Free Space is Reduced.
But, he explained, when great
pressure is applied and the tenn
perature held constant the effect
is chiefly on these "holes." Under
almost any conceivable pressure the
size of the molecules themselves
would remain unchanged, but the
size of the space in which they are
free to move can be reduced enor-
mously. Thus if the total volume
of a liquid is reduced as much as
4 per cent the total free space may
be reduced between 800 and 400
per cent. The molecules are swing
ing as rapidly and with as great
energy as ever, but their field of
movement is so restricted that they

in line stretching from Otto's farm to
the CCC camp. A bad traffic jam re-
suited late in the evening and some
were until 10 p. m. getting out.
The snow was slow and little soft
during the middle of the day but froze
again in late afternoon, making fast
skiing.
Color movies were made Sunday of
the ski scene for inclusion in the film
about Maryland which the Baltimore

All Teams Meet Again this Even

Church league games have been at
tracing large crowds since the league
was organized and this interest is ex-

with 9 points. The Methodists led at
the half Is to IL.
White with II points and Spoerlein
with ID points led the Lutheran attack
against the Episcopals, while for the
latter Crane with Is points, and R.
Wolfe and Pollock with six each, were
high scorers. The Lutherans led IS to
ID at the half.
Thirty eight players participated in
the two games, indicating that the
purpose of the organization is being
carried out, that of furnishing recrea-
