Magnetic Amoebas'
Crawl Beneath Earth,
Scientists Are Told
Dr.. A. 6. McNish Declare:
Existence Is Disclosed
By Compass Variations
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Existence of gigantic magnetic
amoebas," the size of continents,
crawling about under the surface
of the earth. was revealed to the
Atomic Physics Conference meet
ing here today under the joint aus
pices of George Washington Uni
versity and the Carnegie Institu-
ton of Washington.
They are highly magnetized re-
gions located somewhere between
the surface of the planet and the
4,000-mile thick iron ball which
forms its core, the physicists were
told by DR.. A. G. McNish of the
Carnegie Institutions department of
terrestrial magnetism They may
be vast stretches of magnetic ma
terial, presumably iron in some
form. or titanic electric current
whirlpools which serve as sub
terrestrial electric girdles.
Record Compass Variations.
Their existence has been deter
mined by studying the records Of
variation of the compass made all
over the earth during the past two
decades. If they did not exist, DR..
McNish said, the magnetic field of
the earth would remain practically
constant and the compass needle
would always take up a horizontal
position between the two magnetic
poles.
They seem to be crawling from
place to place like those micro
scopic, one-celled animals, the amoe-
bae, DR.. McNish said. The move
ment is very slow and irregular but
is sufficient to cause great changes
in compass readings over the course
of a century. Given a sufficiently
long time, he believes, and they may
move in sort of cycle, eventually
returning to the positions they have
occupied in the past. Outlined on
map they look like amoebae under
microscope.
Located Under Continents.
Roughly. DR.. McNish said, they
are located under the continents al
though they sometimes seem to be
crawling under the edges of the sea
bottoms. In size they approximate
the continents. Six of them have
been located. The largest is about
the size of North America.
No way of determining their depth
below the surface appears feasible at
present, DR.. McNish said. 1t is only
certain that they cannot be in the
crust of the globe nor in the iron
core. Only the location changes
The strength appears approximately
constant from year to year.
The conference adjourned today
with sectional meetings at which
possibilities for research in the field
of radio-activity in the earth's
depths was outlined.

CIV. Instructors 'sCase
Being Considered
By Association
Committee Of Graduates
Urges Investigation
Of Dr.. Morvin's Regime

The case of Miss Martha Gibbon,
assistant professor of English at
George Washington University, who
resigned recently after differences
with President Cloyd Heck Marvin,
is under consideration" of the
Committee on Academic Freedom
and Tenure of the American Asso-
citation of University Professors.
At the headquarters of the asso-
citation today it was said copies Of
Miss Gibbons letter stating her case
have been sent to members OF the
committee for study.
A committee of graduates of the
university under leadership OF
Charles Coltman, 2025 I street NV,
yesterday urged the association to
investigate the regime of DR.. Mar
vim at the university. Mr.. Coltman
explained the committee did not
represent the alumni association,
but consisted of a group of grad
yates interested in the development
of the university.
In a letter to the association the
group urged "a full, open and free
investigation" 1t stated the COM
mittee felt "a grave injustice has
been done to an extraordinarily
excellent teacher" The letter added
that ever since DR.. Marvin became
president of the university there
have been recurring cases of one
type or another"
I'VE respectfully urge you, fur
ther, not to confine any investiga-
ton you may undertake to Miss
Gibbons case alone" the letter said.
Ralph E. Himstead, executive Sec
retary of the association, said in
response to queries that if any in
vestigation were made it would be
the outgroWth in part of other SIM
liar charges against DR.. Marvin in
the last several years and not alone
because of the publicity in Miss
Gibbons case
Faculty Code Cited.
Miss Gibbon resigned effective the
end of this semester after the ad-
ministration indicated it could not
guarantee her re appointment or
promotion beyond 1914. Under a
faculty code adopted in 1887, seven
years is the tenure of an assistant
professor and unless promotion is
given re-appointment is not forth
coming, it is understood.
Miss Gibhon said she had been
told she would not need doctor of
philosophy degree for promotion,
but that now this was indicated as
the requirement for promotion.
President Marvin has declined to
comment on the case and the board
of trustees has accepted Miss Glib
bon's resignation.

Indigent Defendant
Survey Begun al
Court Session
Legal Aid Bureaus Head
Listens to Gases to See
Whot Help Is Needed

Miss Beatrice Clephane, director
of the Legal Aid Bureau, today sat
beside Judge George C. Aukam,
presiding judge of Municipal Court,
to listen to landlord and tenant
cases before the court, as the first
step in a detailed survey of prob
lens of INDECENT defendants in such
cases.
Miss Clephane said she wanted
to see whether the indigents' cases
constitute legal or social prob
lem" and which type Of aid, legal
or social, is most needed.
Miss Clephane said that where
she found the defendants needed
social aid she would refer them to
the proper agency.
Judge Aukam, in discussing the
survey, said the court had for long
time co-operated with social welfare
workers who have helped many of
the defendants. He also asserted
that for long time the District Bar
Association has kept representative
at the court to provide legal aid
to indigents.
Miss Clephane went to the court
at its invitation, after Judge Ellen
Raedy had sent memorandum to
the Legal Aid Bureau asking if 1t
would be interested in making a
trial survey of the problems of indi-
gent persons in the court.
The idea of getting the survey was
advanced following suggestion by
Judge Nathan Cayton of Municipal
Court that the Board of Municipal
Court Judges invite a Community
Chest agency to assign social
worker to the court.
Judge Cayton in discussing the
matter today declared: What we
need is a full-time case worker. We
need some one there every day Oh
full time"
Judge Cayton then asserted that
during a period of some 10 years at
the court that he had had very few
social workers take an interest in
cases before his court. Those who
did. he indicated, did not do so sys-
tematically and with the desired
thoroughness.
Miss Clephane said that out of
II persons who appeared in court
in person and 13 others whose rep
resentatives appeared there that
there were only two cases which
seemed to need social aid and that
those already had been in contact
with social agencies. The others
out of the 80, she said, needed legal
aid.
