Byrnes' Blast Raises Suspicion
Of Reds Arms Output in Reich

idea to Stain, who said he would
Fundamentally support such a pro-
posal.
The Secretary said he later put his
proposal in writing and sent the
draft to Moscow for submission to
Mr.. Molotov with a reminder that
Stain had expressed his approval
in principle.
If Prime Minister Stain or Mr..
Molotov had entertained any doubts
as TO the accuracy of his statement
that the proposal had Stains ap-
proval in principle, Mr. Byrnes as
serted, they certainly would have
advised him then.
Shortly before the meeting in
Paris April Is, he said, he received
message from Mr. Molotov saying
the treaty draft aroused serious OBJ
jections but that he would be pre-
pared to discuss it at Paris.
Even then. Mr.. Byrnes empha-
sized, there was no mention from
Moscow of mutual assistance pact
or questioning of his statement that
Stain had agreed in principle.
In the Paris meeting, ne added,
Mr.. Molotov admitted Stain had
given his approval in principle on
December "a. but said the written
proposal had not been received until
much later and there was plenty of
time to study the question.
MIR. Byrnes recalled that Mr.. Mol
otov then said the Soviet Govern
ment was more interested in the i'm
mediate question of investigating
the execution of joint agreements
already reached concerning Ger
man disarmament.
To meet this point. Mr.. Byrnes
suggested the Allied Council order
a checkup in all the occupation
zones on progress of demilitariza-
ton and disarmament. He said Mr..
Molotov agreed and informed him
appropriate instructions had been
sent to the Soviet representative in
Berlin to participate in the four
power investigation.
If Mr.. Molotov was not misouoted
by Pravda on the two points re-
garding the treaty proposal. Mr..
Byrnes said, he is satisfied there
Is misunderstanding.
The proposal for a treaty to keep
Germany disarmed is not less but
much more than mutual assistance
pact, he declared He added that it
contemplates reaching the roots of
aggression before they grow into war
instead of mere assistance after war
has started.
Mr.. Byrnes said he hoped that
agreement can be reached when
Stain and Mr.. Molotov come TO ap-
preclate this pOint better

Radiation From Rocks
Hinting Presence Of
New Element Found

A hitherto unknown radiation
from rocks which indicates a new
radioactive element was announced
before the American Geophysical
Union meeting here yesterday by
DR.. Victor F.. Hess of Fordham Uni
versity.
DR.. Hess applied extremely deli
cate tests to rocks from granite
quarries at Quincy, Mass and aft
erwardS to considerable quantities
Of these rocks crushed to powder at
the Fordham laboratories. He found
they were sending out an amount of
gamma radiation, or X-rays, be-
tween two and three times as large
as was to be expected from the
amounts of the radioactive elements
uranium, thorium and radlum-
which they were supposed to con-
tain.
There are several possible eXpla
nations. he said One is that previ-
GUS measurements of the percentage
of radioactive material in granite
have been far too low. Another is
that cosmic rays from outer space
striking atoms of uranium, cause
these to act as miniature atomic
bombs by splitting them.
Still another is the back-scatte
ing OF cosmic rays Either of the
cosmlc ray hypothesis, DR.. Hess
said. seems improbable because the
expected number of hits resulting
in atomic ffsion would be far too
few to account for the results and
back-Scattering would be rare
phenomenon.
The rocks now are being sub
Jected to an intensive chemical
analysis to determine if they con-
tain some unknown substance ca
pable of producing such a pene-
trating radiation.
This should not be assumed. DR..
Hess said, until other possible ex-
plantations have been disproved, but.
he indicated, it is not impossible
since such a prominent element as
radium was detected only after
years of experiments.
DIR. Hess is one of the world s
foremost experts in radiation meas
urements, and in analyses to deter
mine the age of rocks.
4 simply have no explanation of
What I found" he said, and do not
care to advance any further hy-
potheSes at this time"
He also refused to discuss the
significance of new source of radi-
alton in the earths surface for the
coming age of atomic power.

Chang Leading Drive
To Retake Manchuria,
Communists CHARGE
BY the As,ocioied Pres,

NANKING, May 29.-Gen. Chou
En- -lai, China's No. 2 Communist
today asserted that Generalissmc
Chang Kai-shek personally hao
taken over direction of the gov
ernment's Manchurian cam
paign.
He asserted the situation in civil
war-ravaged Manchuria had taker
critical turn
The topf1ight Communist made
his statement to the Associated
Press a few hours after the gov
ernment's Central News Agency re-
ported that national troops had cap
tured the important city of Kirir
'Yungkn from Communists.
Government sources in Muk-
den said seven regiments of Com
munist troops were routed at
Yungki and retreated toward
Yenchi. near the Korean border
Government reports from the
north said vanguards of ma
tional troops we're within 30
miles of Harbin.
In Peiping. the independent
newspaper, Shih Chieh Jih Pao,
reported that government troops
captured Liaoyuan, a railroad
junction northwest of Szepingkai
1t said the troops then pushed
northward along the Szepingkai-
Tsitsihar rail line to Wolungtun.
Peace Talks Being Arranged.
Gen. Chou's assertion was the first
Jarrlng note to disturb the hope
full atmosphere that pervaded China
the past few days. The Communists
leader is his party's negotiator ir
peace discussions with government
officials and Gen. George C. Mar
shall, special American envoy.
Even as he spoke, members of the
third party Democratic League were
to resume peace talks with
the Kuomintang Gen. Chang:
government party. They were
handicapped. however, by the con-
tinued absence at this critical stage
Of the generalissimo. who remained
in Mukden.
Communist leaders say that with
out Gen, Chang present, any dis
cussions would have little validity
Central News earlier today said
it had been asked to stand by fol
an important message from Gen
Chang, but reported later the
statement would not be published
The message could concern the
growing clamor for peace in Man
churia.
Urge Chang to Return.
The Democratic League dispatched
an urgent telegram to Gen. Chiane
urging him to return to Nankins
at once to clear the way for peace
negotiations.

stage would be completed when

Central News Said national troops
entered Kirin in the wake Of

dicating that the Communists-now
pushing for an end to fighting

Meanwhile, government troops
met no resistance as they marched

cant = another reason for MAX
ing this Sabbath outstanding. A
more practical reason is also Of
fered by the sages. On the Sab
bath before Passover the popu-
lace customarily remained in the
synagogue for a long time after
the morning service to hear the
Rabbi expound the laws and de-
tails of the Passover rituals and
observances. This made the SER
vice a long service and the day
a long day thus bringing upon it
the title of the big Sabbath"
Other opinions connect the title
with the prophetic vision which
is detailed in the Haftorah read
ing for that particular morning
in which the prophet speaks of
Elijah's coming on the "Big" day.
Generally speaking it is most
plausible that the Sabbath before
an important holiday like Pass
over be lauded as a big Sab
BATH"
QUESTION: Why is it custo-
mary for the Rabbi to expound
the details of Passover in a
treatise on "Shabbos Hagodol."
ANSWER: The Midrash relates
that Moses spoke at length to
the Jews on the Sabbath preced-
ing the redemption expounding
all the technicalities of the Pass
over rituals. The rabbis, who are

their ancestral leader by deliver
ing their treatises in the Syna-
gogue on the Sabbath preceding
Passover.
QUESTION: Why is it custo.
mary to make a search for

ANSWER: It should be under
stood that the search" is only
a preparation for the Burning
of the Chometz Neaven)" which
was ordered by the Bible. It
was furthermore ordered by the
Bible that no leaven be found
in the possession of a Jew dur
ing the Passover. A search is
additionally made by placing a
piece of 1eaven Casually small
piece of bread) in every room
and then taking a candle, an
old wooden spoon or slab and a
feather and then proceeding to
every room to. gather up the bits
into the wooden base and to tie
it together for burning the next
day. In spite of the fact that the
house is immaculate, this is still
done as hint to the observer
that no man can ascertain that
he is perfectly pure, but rather,
he must always search himself
:or blemishes. Furthermore, it
gives him something to burn the
next day.

QUESTION: Why do many
people use ten pieces for this
ceremony?
ANSWER: Some writers con-
slider this as an omen of the ten
steps towards heavenly perfec-
ton. Others see in it the COM
memoration of the ten plaques.
Others see historical fact in

day of Nissan that the ten sons

troy the Jews. For this reason
they were destroyed themselves.

tenth day of Nissan. This is the

It thus was recorded as a 'Big"
