New Theory
OfLiquid Told
To Scientists
Key Properties Predicted
by Southern Physicist
By GOBIND BEHARI LAL

ny UODIND pEnAhi iItL
News Service Science Editor
A NEW theory of liquids that
is expected TO help scientists
in increasing war production has
come to light.
Prof. George Jaffe. physicist
of the Louisiana State Univer-
sity, at Baton Rouge, La, has
developed this theory which
aims at giving science a general
law for dealing with liquid sub
stances.
Liquids play "A tremendously
important part In the war ef-
forts Mercury. petroleum and
its countless derivatives, includ-
ing aiFPianc and rocket fuels.
synthetic fluids from which
plastlcS, Varnishes. paints. rub
Der and medical drugs arc
formed are of the utmost i'm
portance.
Doctor JaffC'S new law OF
liquids, reported in the Physical
Review published by the Amer
lean Physical Society. makes it
possible 10 predict what the key
properties of a particular liquid
will be. Among these properties
are the resistance TO change OF
form, changes due 10 increase or
decrease of temperature.
The main idea in the theory is
this: There is a certain electro
cal potential" electrical pres
sure, between two molecules of
{. liquid.
Any TWO molecules, the small
est unit particles, exercise a GER
tain electrical pressure on each
other.
IN MEASURING this electrical
pressure one must know the
distance between the central
parts OF The two molecules, two
neiGhberiRg particles Of a fluid.
And liquid can be considered As
made Of myriad H4eleetic>-rr-
lated 10 one another by electrl-
cal forces
The distance between one
molccule and another IS 50 small
that II Is measured In units of
l-200 900 600 of an inch.
Docior Jaffe considers a liquid
as partly liquid and partly vapor
and takes into consideration the
force on the surface OF the
liquid The exact form Of his
law Is mathematical. 1t has been
tested on some eight liquids
The application Of such a law
10 the kind of liquids which are
composed of very large and
chained molecules will not be
simple.
In dealing with molecules that
are built up of chained smaller
molecules. "polymerS, new SCI
cntific principles come into play.
Synthetic rubber. for example
is made Of such "polymerS.
As Or. S Wciner. chemical
scientist OF Milwaukee. Wis.
says, the most important thing
IN such molecules is their StruC-
ture, atomic architecture and
thcir rhythm Of arrangement.
Doctor Jaffc'S new theory
might aid in the development
even Of the rules of "polymcr>. -
fluids from which long chain
materials like those Of rubber
can be developed.

I" 'RUE and unbiased news
the highest original moral
concept ever develope in
America and given the world"
says Kent Cooper in one of the
most dramatic stories of news
gathering ever told in Barriers
Down: The Story Of the News
Agency Epoch" CFarrar G. Rine-
harO. II is factual narrative
of how the Associated Press IN
the last two decades worked to
free the news OF the world from
the biased and often politically
subventioned news agencies of
Europe.
Mr.. Cooper also tells for the
first time how the Associated
Press. aided by tho Hearst and
SCrippS- Howard papers. broke
d own an international news
trust, which in some cases. either
consciously or unconSCiouSly.
aimed al defaming the United
States by reporting nothing but
lynchings, murders and h c r
crimes.
The fight that the II earst
papers with the a $500 a Q d
Press. made 10 get through
straight, uncolored news 10 and
from Australia and the United
States is related in full. The
Associated Press has always in
sisted on news no matter who
was hurt.
There is also complete OK
pose Of the grip that the two
European news gathering agen-
cietS. HavaS and Reuters. had on
South America, Europe and even
on Asia.
YOU get your world news
straight and honestly today
because the Associated Press,
tho United Press and the Inter-
national News Service serve YOU
without fear or favor. To color
and bias foreign news in this era
of the world leads 10 war. 1t is
for that reason that Mr.. Cooper
says:
IF. therefore, some great
authority who will dictate the
terms OF peace would ask me
what points should he included
respecting the press | could only
say now, as I replied in 1919.
that there should he five such
points as follows: first. guaran-
tee freed ON of the press
throughout the world a. we
know IL; second, guarantee that
at least one news agency i'm
trolled mutually by the news
papers IL serves; third guaran-
tee that each agency may make
such International news eN-
change arrangements as il
chooses: fourth, guarantee
equality To all in the matter Of
availability OF all official news
and transmission facilities, and,
fifth, prohibit the intentional
covert inclusion I'm any news
service OF biased international
propaganda"
y That isN one Of the greatest
postwar peace programs that |
know.
The Associated Press is pri-
vately owned by the newspapers
that make up its membership
II is nonprofit-sharing. II does
not antagonize other news
agencies.
On the contrary, il co-opcratcS
with them. Far from being a
trust. aS the government
alleges, II is the freeSi organiza-
ton in the world. and IL Is on
gagged in only one work getting
the truth TO the American people

The Red Tape Plague

IN SUNDAYS Detroit Times appeared story concern
/ ing the difficulties of Detroit business who, in
addition working their heads off production
have to waste long and maddening hours filling out gov
ernmental missionaries.
One automobile company complained that
fourmonth period it had spent S125000 and consumed
100000 hours preparing and filling out government
forms and reports.
But the annoyance is drastic to small
manufacturers because in most they simply have
not the necessary clerical help to cope with the plague
of never ceasing missionaries they supposed to
answer.
The of a little tool plant employing only 80
men, had TO fill out five OPA forms each five pages
long, TO collect 81, 500 for three machines.
Another small manufacturer wanted to install
coal bin furnace and four partitions Before he
ceved permission for this essential Improvement which
cost only $500 Che makes precision tools for pro-
ducon pantsl he had to fill out three eght-page WPB
FORMS make trip to Washington and another to New
York and put in y telephone calls to the New York
WPB office.
T HESE and many similar instances might be deemed
L amusing except that they do actually and seriously
hamper the efforts of manufacturers
Doubtless the red tape plague hourishes
Is because Washington bureaus bulge with help that
they have to do something TO keep busy If 30 per cent
Of the help at Washington eliminated the business
