worked IL we had applied them
to an enemy territory well pre-
pared and thoroughly on the
alert.
THE answer. in the writer's
L opinion, is definitely in the
negative. Had Jap reconnais-
sance been on the job. and had
Wake possessed adequate land
based aviation, the approaching
American naval forces would
have been intercepted long be-
fore they came within Smelling
and bombing distance of the
island--just as in the Battle Of
Midway we intercepted a Japa-
nese naval surface and carrier
armada.
The fact that destroyers and
cruisers were able to approach
within Smelling distance OF
japanese guns shows that the
enemy was entirely unprepared
for us. and furthermore, that
their aerial forces were made
quate to handle the situation.
The Japs had good reason to
be surprised. Being within
bombing distance of Midway,
and having received taste Of
thorough devastation by our
land-based army bombers seven
times over. they could hardly
suspect that a less effective
and riskier type OF attack
would be brought to bear
against them.
THE Wake episode will I'M
4 doubtedly be used by some
people as proof" that direct
attack on Japan by carrier
borne aviation is a valid pro-
cedure. Unfortunately it proves
nothing of the sort, and those
who indulge in such ideas are
guilty of highly dangerous OPP
timisn.
Only IL they are adequately
shielded by our own land-based
aviation would they have
chance to take part at all in
the fighting.
However. once we have japan
within bombing range FIN our
land. bases, there wouldvbe no
sense in bringing air power by
carriers.

TO-DAY IN SCIENCE
BY GOBIND BEHARI LALr

DISCOVERY of an important
- new scientific key for maxi
ing rubber of any kind OF elastic
properties which are considered
most desirable came TO light
today.
Prof. Eugene Guth of Notre
Dame and Prof. Hubert NJ.
James of Purdue University
have found the new principle,
the theory of the elastic prop
critics OF rubber" they have re-
ported 10 the American lnsti-
tute OF Physics in New York.
The most important feature
OF the new law is that il gives
Us a scientific understanding of
rubber in bulk. This means that
by application OF the mathemati-
cal rules the scientists have
worked out, il is possible 10 pre-
dict the elastic properties OF
any rubberlke substance under
given conditions of tempera-
ture, stress and strain and SO on.
Until now scientists have
- investigated mostly the
properties Of the molecules, the
long, chain-like constituents OF
any rubber-like material. Now,
the Indiana physicists have
found just how lump Of rub
Der is made and acts.
The simplest picture of a
lump of rubber. according 10
the new study, is as follows;
The rubber lump is made up
OF network of molecule-chainS
which can turn and twist,
wriggle and coil and curl. But,
also, there is a sort of fluid fill
ing up the spaces between and
around these chains.
THE network, so 10 say, is sus-
i pended in the fluid like a
mass of spaghetti strands in hot
soup. The heated particles Of
the fluid lombard and kick the
molecule chains.
Just as in a soup the strands
of spaghetti change their pat
terms as the liquid is heated,
boils and bubbles, so the rub
Der chains undergo constant al
terations in form under the ac-
ton of heat, which keeps the
fluid particles jumping.
AS the heat increases the

WASHlNGI ON, Oct. %
w Chairman Doughton of the
House ways and means commit
tee. which has revolted against
a demand for additional taxes
Of S10.560, 100000, now makes
the public announcement that
the administration" - what
ever that may mean-'will
make every effort to locate and
eradicate all unnecessary ex-
penditures in the government"
Mr.. Doughton does not iden-
tify "the administration" other
than by the generic title. 1t
can't be Mr.. Morgenthau, be-
cause he is in Italy. 1t could
hardly be the President, or Mr..
Doughton would have added
punch TO his words by saying
so. 1t is probably merely a
glittering generality, Just

We may assume. then. that
this belated pledge of retrench-
ment comes from some Spokes-
man for the administration in
the bureau of the budget. That
takes IL from the realm of
finance and government and
transfers it 20 the fields of
humor.
THE blunt truth is that MOTH

job Of cutting out unnecessary
government expenditures must
be tackled by Congress.
To show the mockery of this
promise to make effort 10 To-

expenditures, il is necessary
only TO refer to the record.
Has "the administration"
made any effort to save the
American people from an in

processes of economy?
1t has not. But on the con-
trary this present Congress,

IN SOME Of the coffee houses
Il OF the lower east side in New

dominoes and chess and check

extended TO the upper crust Of
big city cafedom, which ap-
proves only gin rummy as a
diversion with meals.
Prince Mike Romanon, the
redoubtable Rooshan royalist,
who operates a rather high
toned gaff in Beverly Hills,

chess in his place but promotes
