A spectrosraph of the sun taken
at an altitude of IS miles by a
camera mounted on the warhead Of
a va rocket at White Sands. N. Mex.
has just been received by the Naval
Research Laboratory here.
This is by far the highest altitude
by about IS miles-fronn which q
picture ever has been taken. 1t was
snapped automatically some miles
above the thin blanket of ozone gas,
a form of oxygen. which is spread
like a sheet OF armor over the earth
to stop X-rays and short ultraviolet
rays from the sun penetrating to the
surface of this planet. # 1t were
not for this shield, any life on earth
would be impossible.
The spectrograph might be de-
scribed as a super-rainbow. Every
element, when made luminous, emits
radiation of wave-lengths peculiar
to itself, ranging from the extreme
invisible ultra-red to the shortest
X-rays.
These lines long since have been
classified. Wherever wave-length
characteristic OF iron, for example,
is found, iron must be present. That
particular waye-length could come
from nothing else. This affords the
most delicate method of chemical
analysis known to man. !.
The spectrograph photographed
from the rocket warhead was
produced by light falling on a
grating with as many as 10000
lines to the inch-that is, 10000
separate wave lengths to the inch.
Amounts of an element contained
in the source of light can be
determined by the strength of its
characteristic wave-lengths. This
will make possible an almost COM
plete chemical analysis of the sun.
While it is highly improbable that
any new elements will be found, 1t
is almost certain that they will be
found in hitherto unknown COM
binations.
The camera mounted on the war
head and operating automatically
did much better than those mounted

SYDNEY. Australia, Jan. ll-Re- finements in Japanese torture are being disclosed at the Ambonia war crimes trial Of 93 Japanese.
 Dispatches to Australia relate the testimony of Australians and Dutch who survived the horrors of an Ambonia prison camp.
 One witness, a Dutch sergeant major named Waaldyk, described the so-called Lockheed and Stone tortures.
 The Lock heed required the prisoner to balance himself in- definitely on the ball of one foot, the second leg raised behind him and the arms held level with the shoulders.
 In the stone torture, prisoners were forced to hold a heavy stone over their heads until their arms weakened and the stone crashed down on them.

 Reports that the War Depart ment planned to double the bomb- ing range, which now comprises e55 GOO acres, had led to fears in Alaska that the buffalo herd might be eXterminated On this basis, Bartlett had protested to the War Department, the Interior Depart ment and the Fish and Wildlife Service.

In those days, the city was
ruled by a sinister trio:
Samuel insult, utilities mag
nate;
AL Capone,, gang chieftain
extraordinary;
Col. Robert r. Mccormick,
reactionary publisher.
THE YEAR 1881 marked the
defeat of Mayor William Hale
Thompson, who had long since
ceased to run the corrupt politi-
cal machine he had helped build.
In that year, Daniel A. Serri-
tella, the Thompson-appointed
City Sealer, was sent to Jail for
his implication in a $54, 100000
conspiracy to defraud Chicago
ans through short weights and
measures.
That was the end of an era.

the name of Serritella, who typi-

That 15-year period ended in

THE REPUBLICANS

THE REPUBLICANS rode
roughshod over the city and its
people. Covered by the screen of
gangland gunfire and the blaring

of swindlers sucked millions out

LINGLE was intimate with Ca
pone. He wore a diamond belt
buckle which was a gift from Ca
pone. And he frequently Travelled
with the gang chief to Florida
and other lush resorts.
1t turned out that Lingle was
the medium through which the
Capone mob and the city ad-
ministration worked together
to maintain control of the
gambling, booze and vice
rackets against the Bugs" Mo-
ran-Aiello gang which was try
ing to muscle in.
On st. Valentines Day of 1929,
seven Moran mobsters were now
ed down by machine guns in a
North Side garage. In the ten
days before the Lingle Staying, IL
of Capone's enemies had been
killed.

came so embarrassing that Col.
Mccormick stepped in and had
his own attorney appointed "chief
investigator. The Colonel chose
a young prosecutor in the States
Attorneys office to convict Leo
" Brothers, an obscure hoodlum,
of the crime. Brothers got eight
years. The ColonePs hand-picked
prosecutor was Wayland Curly
Brooks, presently Republican U.
S. Senator from Illinois and a
down-the line Tribune man.
Lingle was on the Tribune's
payroll for $65 per week. But his
bank book for the period from
1928 until his death showed de-
posts totalling $4,000.
Lingle was also a heavy looser
at the track and usually bet from
$500 to $500 a day. 1t was also
revealed that he had spent more
than $4,000 in the year in which
he was slain.

THE TRIBUNE MAN was the
recipient of all kinds of fancy
gifts from politicians and from

Corporation Counsel Ettelson,

was reported to have loaned
Lingle $1,000. An investigation of
Lingle's accounts showed that he
had joint stock market account

On June Is, the Tribune said
editorially:
'Rumors have arisen regarding

was, in one fashion or another,
an ally and that he was killed for
violating in some manner the
