Birds Have Natura! Gyrocompass

When the Swedish Society of
Physicists recently celebrated it's
25th anniversary with meeting
in Stockholm, the well-known
physicist Professor Gustaf Using
revealed some interesting results,
which he had arrived at in his
studies of migratory birds. -
It is well-known fact that
these birds have the fantastic IA
fulty of finding their way straight
10 remote places even in darkness
md fog over the sea and without
my landmarks. Professor Using
pointed out that the birds have
been equipped with special sense
For finding their bearings. This
sixth sense possessed by birds op-
crates by means of an organ in the
birds body, which consists of
fine canals filled with a liquid.
The organ in question. which is
probably affected by the. rotation
of the earth, serves as a sort of
gyrocompass, which indicates the
north direction and perhaps also
the altitude of the pole. Accord
ing to Prof. Isings theory the ro-
tation of the earth causes a cur
rent in the liquid by hydraulic in
duction, a hitherto unobserved eff
feet, quite analogous to the we'll
known electromagnetic induction
and obeying the same mathema-
teal laws.
The Swedish professor went on
to say that, besides this natural
compass, the birds may be equip
ped with a "chronometer" oper-
ating according. to the day and
night rhythm which has been i'm
pressed on the birds in their home
countries. For it is a fact that a
bird which has been brought to-
wards the west, wakes up too
early in the morning and makes

"Ex-NeutroIs Should
Join the u. N. O."
Sumner WeIIes

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-SWeden,
Switzerland, Fire, and Portugal
should be invited to join the Unit
ed Nations Organization, Sumner
Welles, former American Under
secretary of State, wrote in his
column in yesterdays New York
Herald Tribune. Although the AL
lies may have felt that "all who
were not with the United Nations
must be against them" Mr.. Welles
pleads for the inclusion of the four
former neutral states mentioned
above. This is necessary. he
writes, because "if world recov-
cry is to be expedited, and the
healing of the international diff
ferences created by the war is to
be FASTENED, all nations able and
willing to assist in the task of
world reconstruction must be CIV
en-, as promptly as possible, the
opportunity to take part.
1.-TWO of the neutral states, Swe-
den and Switzerland he con-
tinues, "have long been in the
forefront of the most advanced
democracies. Sweden played an
outstanding part in the League
of Nations. Both countries have
always maintained the highest
standards in their international
relations The contribution which
Sweden and Switzerland can make
to the firm establishment of a
future world organization is po-
tentially very great. There can be
no question, l think, that both
Sweden and Switzerland are en-
titled to immediate membership.
Flights of Neutrals Enumerated
"For both these countries" Mr.
Welles goes on, "the cost of a
continuing mobilization to resist
German attack has been heavy.
Both Governments have suffered
not only the Axis menace but like
wise the pressure of the Allied
Governments. Their economies
were constantlysubject to belliger-
ent reprisals. Yet the masses in
both countries unquestionably sup
ported the democratic cause. {.
If these four European states,
Sweden, Switzerland, Fire, d
Portugal, are not promptly ad-
mitted to the United Nations Or
ganization, not only will the po-
litical reconstruction of Europe be
retarded, but the economic feder-
alton of Europe, the most solid
foundation for European stability
will be unwarraptably delayed

Swedish Baritone Scores
In Metropolitan
Opera Debut

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. = Joel
Berglund, Swedish baritone, who
made his first appearance at the
Metropolitan Opera here last night
as Hans Sachs in Wagner's die
Meistersinger, scored an immedi-
ate success. The New York Times
this morning wrote in part Mr..
Berglund is an artist of distinc-
tion-a singer who sings with
heart and head as we'll as with
the voice and who acts with poise
and experience. . He behaved
like an expert. You felt that he
was not an opera singer but the
living, breathing cobbler-poet of
the sunny, humane Nuremberg of
long ago. . s. He has a rich, mel
low voice, smoothly projected and
knowingly employed . . AS an
interpreter he is truly impressive.

OPA Battle Has Political Side

Whatever one may think OF the
intricacy Of the economic theory be-
hind the OPA, its political implica-
tons are a thousandfold more diff
ficult to assess.
AS congress battled over the tat
tered remains of the price control
law, many congressman who thor
oughly detested the whole set-up be-
gan to worry little as to what
might happen back home if he were
held partially responsible for
wrecking the agency.
It was all right for the representa-
tives of farm communities. The
farmer would reap the reward OF
higher prices first. By the time he
felt the effect of higher prices on
the things he had to buy, OPA
probably would be forgotten. But
congressman from industrial CEN
tiers were in quite different position.
These communities are heard from
the moment the missus encounters a
markup at the corner grocery. That
is the reason that a number of Re
publicans supported the administra-
ton stand on OPA. If the Republi-
can party is to capture the house Of
representatives next November, it
will have to pick up votes in the
cities.

ATOMIC CONTROL:
Russ Rejection

Even as Bikini reverberated with
the explosion of the second atomic
bomb test in the Pacific, Russia
turned thumbs down on the U. S.
proposal for international control of
the atomic energy.
Addressing a closed meeting Of
the United Nations atomic energy
committee on controls in New York,
Soviet Representative Gromyko as
serted that the U. S. suggestion that
the veto be eliminated in atomic
regulation could not be accepted
by Russia because it would tend to
destroy the principle of unanirnity
among the Big Five in preserving
postwar peace.
Gromyko also raped the pro-
posal for establishing an independ-
ent agency for the control of atomic
energy, declaring that the U.N. Sc
curity council consisting of the Big
Five as permanent members pos
sessed both the power and means
to deal with the problem.

REVIEW
CROSSROADS:
Heavy Damage

Although accompanied by none of
the fanfare of the first surface test,
the underwater explosion of the
atomic bomb in Bikini lagoon pro-
duced equally startling results, with
the one A-charge sinking no less
than ten ships and heavily damag-
ing six others.
Hours after the blast, the water
Of Bikini lagoon remained too hot
from radioactlvity set off by the
bomb to permit close inspection Of
the damage. Clouds along a 30
mile front became contaminated
with atomic particles and naval OBJ
servers disclosed that rain from the
mass could be deadly.
A massive column of water, hur-
ting more than mile into the Pa
cific sky, and a thick sheet Of
spray and steam that rose to 5000
feet, followed the defamation of
the bomb, which was touched off by
radio from beneath a medium land
ing ship.
Veteran of two world wars, the
81 ,000-ton battleship Arkansas sank
within five minutes of the blast, and
the SO, 0O0-ton aircraft carrier Sara
toga also went down. The battleship
New York, the Jap dreadnaught Ma
cato and the destroyer Hughes and
transport Fallon were severely Grip
pied by the charge.

Congress Scans
Types of Closing

It took some time for congress to
make up its mind whether it would
adjourn "sine die" without date set
for reconvening), as they usually do
when a session comes to an end,
or whether they would "recess."
When congress merely recesses 1t
can reassemble without a special
proclamation by the President.
When the President calls congress
into session, he has to issue a proc
lamation. That's all the Constitu-
ton demands. He doesn't have to
deliver it. Out of courtesy, how
ever, the White House always tele-
graphs the president of, the senate
and the speaker of the house.
But the proclamation is not good
unless the Great Seal Of the United
States is affixed thereunto. Nobody
can do that but the secretary of
state, for he is the keeper of the
seal. So along with the proclama-
ton, the President has to issue a
warrant, ordering the secretary of
state to do the affixing.
] might say that the secretary of
state usually delegates this task,
which reminds me of a story, which,
II believe, never has been printed.
When Secretary of State Hull had
been in office IL years, there was a
little outburst Of congratulations.
