structor in chemistry there and at
the University of Pennsylvania, and
in 1907 became research chemist for
the General Electric Co.
His service with the Geological
Survey began in 1908 when he was
appointed physical chemist. During
his long career with the survey he
examined potash deposits of Chile
in 1916, was specialist on the min
eral resources of sodium compounds
from 1917 to 1920 and was sent to
Honolulu in 1920 as delegate to the
First Pan-Pacific Scientific Congress.
DIR. Wells was the author of more
than a hundred papers on chem
istry and mineralogy.
He was member of the Chemical
Society of Washington, of which he
was president in 1921, and the
Geological Society of Washington,
of which he served as president in
1887. He also was a fellow of the
Geological Society of America, the
Neurological Society of America
and the American Association for
the Advancement of Science. He
held membership in many other
scientific societies including the
American Chemical Society, Ameri-
can Geophysical Union, National
Research Council, American Insti-
tute Of Mining and Metallurgical
Engineers, Washington Academy of
Sciences and the Cosmos and Har-
ward Clubs. He belonged to Phi

On the Other Hand
President Has Fulfilled His Promise
To Keep Politics Out of Present War

and his immediate assistants, all
the important wartime jobs and
important Army commissions have
gone to Republicans.
The Roosevelt administration is
actually being charged with playing
Republican politics! You can't get
Mr.. Stimson to pay attention tc
palaver of this kind; the man whose
long-view craftsmanship made him
capable Of seeing Americas vital
interest in the Mukden incident OF
1881, the man whose character and
courage were expressed in the Stim-
son doctrine of that time, isn't a
man to trouble himself over the pro-
tests of little people who have Their
minds on little matters.
Friends Rush to Rescue.
But his friends have rushed to his
rescue. Look, they say, he's ap-
pointed lots of Democrats. There's
Charlie Polettf former Lieutenant
Governor of New York, for example.
There's William O'Dwyer, who was
Democratic candidate for Mayor of
New York. And look, they say, look
what Senator Taft said about Mr..
Stimson the other day: Senator Taft
charged him with being a fourth
term campaigner.
All of which is both amusing and
encouraging. 1t encourages one to
believe that the President, by giving
Secretaries Stimson and Knox a
free hand, IS fulfilling his pledge
to keep politics out of the war. For
their part, these two men, whose
Offices affect the lives of more voters
than all the other cabinet offices
combined, are making it easy for
the President to do so.

@. Does gold weigh heavier when
it leaves Peru than when it reaches

A. IF beam balances were used in
the weighing there would be no
difference. However, the force of

decreases with altitude. Thus q

lieve the President has kept that
pledge. There are some who do not
There are some who believe the most
extraordinary things.
On the Hill yesterday a member
of Congress was heard to remark
that the invasion of Europe by Gen.
Eisenhower's army probably will be
held up until the week of the Re-
publican convention to make sure
that nobody pays any attention to
the big Chicago event. There are
Republicans like that, Republicans
ready to believe that an American
President, if a Democrat, is capable
of playing with the lives of Ameri-
can soldiers and the welfare of the
world for some small partisan ad-
vantage.
But let's consider another type of
Republican, a type not uncommon
and a lot more pleasant to contem-
plate. The type represented by
Messrs. Stimson and Knox I doubt
If there is full realization of the
courage it required to accept the
appointments offered them by the
President. Each could have given
plentiful reasons for declining. Each
had sufficient experience to know
what he was getting into. Each
knew he would be a stranger with
in political family and could sense
in advance the hush that would fall
in the family councils whenever he
entered the room
Cabinet Office Is political Office.
Other members of the cabinet have
behind them their party organiza-
ton. That organization would not
be behind the two strangers and
their own party organization would
no longer be behind them. They
isolated themselves politically when
they held up their hands to be
sworn in.
Something That Worked Well.
How has it worked? I think it
may prove, when the whole story
is told, to have been one of the
wisest acts of Mr.. Roosevelt's war
time administration. Has it kept
politics out of the war? Well. if
you can believe some Democrats. it
has kept Democratic politics out.l
Lately, complaints have been heard

 Once arrived the tugs are put to work towing, ice breaking, lightering, and rescuing, under weather conditions as unfriendly as our globe has on record.
 One of these little ships, during a years stay in Greenland, rode out dozen gales exceeding a hun dred miles an hour, carried thou sand so ftons of material to out lying bases, transported soldiers and Naval personnel to and from base hospitals, and carried out 9 rescue missions. One of these was picking up the pitifully few survivors of the Coast Guard cutter ESCANABA, sunk by mysterious underwater explosion while on convoy duty.

Specifics Set On Beef Cuts

Mildred H. Hermann, Territor- ial Director, OPA announced Tuesday, Nov 7, that all beef cuts sold at retail in the larger Alaska communities are placed under spe- cific prices.
 These specific prices replace fo- mer ceilings established by indiv- idual markets on the basis ofmark- up received during the month pre- ceeding Pearl Harbor.
 The first price schedule to be set on the fresh meats is now set on al beef cuts although specific prices have already been set for over 2,000 food and household SUD- ply items sold in grocery stores throughout the Territory.
 Before specific prices are set a thorough study of the wholesale and transportation costs and the merchandising methods in each town are made by the Price Div ision.
 Based on information supplied by retail and wholesale trade, these prices are believed to pro- vide fair and equitable margins to meat dealers without untoward disruption of communities econ- omy.
 The prices in nose towns are somewhat lower than averages established by meat dealers and this should result in appreciable savings on consumers monthly cost of living.
 Therefore fullest cooperation is expected
 It is also expected that meat dealers will give full cooperation just as grocers throughout the Territory willingly accepted cell ings on commodities sold in their stores.

She first attracted Hollywood's at
