Science remained essentially in

til the use of poison gas in the
first World War. This, he stressed,
stirred more horror than it de-
served as a weapon because the
world realized that it meant the
end of an era during which all
efforts of science had been dedi-
Gated to improving the lot of man
rather than destruction.
From that time on, Sir Henry
said, nations have recognized the
great value of secret research in
production of weapons, eliminating

Windsor0 0ffers$8,0OO
For Return Of Jewels
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. 23.-Agents for the
Duke of Windsor today advertised a
reward of $1,000 for the return of
jewels stolen from the duchess last
week.
Announcements concerning the
reward, which appeared in London
newspapers, listed among the miss
ing jewelry a ring set with a So
carat aquamarine and another with
at 41-carat sapphire, as well as a
diamond clip, brooch and bracelets,
sapphire earrings and a necklace.
The jewels were stolen last
Wednesday night from the home of
the Earl of Dudley in Surrey, where
the Windsors are staying during
their visit to England.
Scotland Yard. meanwhile. was
faced with three new major thefts.
The loss of jewelry valued at $24, ,00O
was reported by the manager Of q
gold dealing firm in the Piccadilly
area, who said thieves had rif1ed
his showcases after cutting burglar
alarm wires.
Jewelry valued at $1,000 was re-
ported taken from the hotel room
of Mrs. Esme Laughton, a relative
of Charles Laughton, the actor, and
a trunk containing a mink coat and
other articles valued at 5000 was
stolen from the apartment of Mrs
M. Sharp, Canadian writer.

two weeks.
Shoppers at retail meat stores will
find a steadily increasing supply OF
lamb and veal by Friday and Sat
urday, representative of the food
division of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' Association said.
Prices, in the opinion of Mr.. Ker-
man and others in the trade, are
still too unusual" to predict or
classify. Mr.. herman explained that
in normal times the price quotations
by packers seldom varied more than
a cent a pound. Today, he said,
packer quotations frequently differ
as much as 8 or 10 cents a pound.
Wholesale prices sometimes show a
similar disparity, he added.
The Agriculture Department re'
ported last night that meat produc-
ton last week amounted to 265, ,o00,-
900 pounds. This was nine per cent
rlnderproduction during the cor
responding week last year, but 134

The Peak on Sunday was from 8
to II am, probably due to the later
rising hour.
However, Sunday accounted for
the lowest number-141 out OF the
1,179. Blue Monday accounted for
ISL. Thursdays and Saturdays tied
for high with 167.
The report ascribed the higher
rate among officers to greater age
and responsibilities and said the
probable reason for the large num-
ber of suicides among doctors and
nurses was their familiarity with
and accesses to poisons and lethal
drugs.
The 656 homicide cases studied
presented a picture in some respects
almost opposite to that Of suicides
The maximum age of homicide
victims was between 20 and 80. And
the rate among officers was only
one-third that of enlisted men.
The majority met death after s
pm, with the largest number be-
tween II pm. and midnight.

The suicide rate of World War
II officers was twice that OF en-
listed men, and the number OF
doctors and nurses who killed them
selves was far out of proportion.
Those are among the findings in
an Army Institute of Pathology re-
port based on the studies OF 1,179
suicides and 656 homicides among
Army personnel.
Capt. Norman zamcheck, now
with the Harvard Medical School,
and Murray A. Geisler, an institute
statistician, said many of their flnd-
ings tended to support trends among
civilians. For instance:
About four times as many soldiers
over 40 years committed suicide as
did those between 20 and 20. Ci-
william statistics show that the sui
eide rate between 40 and so is
from two to three times that be-

Lack of Evidence Delays
Sinoer's Divorce Triul

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23.-Superior
Judge Frank G. Swain listened to
Singer Kay st. Germans story OF
how her husband, Jack Carson,
movie and radio comedian, told her
he no longer loved her, how she be-
came unhappy, and how he treated
her coldly.
But you have shown no serious
misconduct on the part of the de-
fendant," interrupted the court. "Is
this all the evidence?"
Your honor" replied her lawyer
Monte Livingston, Its easy to come
in here and say he slapped her, but
he didn't. His cruelty was of a diff

"I don't want to embarrass the

piled.

Removal of. Secrecy
From Research Urged
by British Scientist
By Thomas R. Henry
Siar Sfaff Corre.pondsnf

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 23.- Re-
building an international commun-
ity OF science, with all research
everywhere freed from secrecy, was
urged before the National Academy
of Sciences here last night by Sir
Henry Dale, representative of the
British Royal Society.
This has no bearing, he stressed,
on arrangements already in effect,
such as atomic bomb research, in
which scientists have agreed with
their governments to carry out
specific secret projects.
"We may be told" he said, "that
abandonment of national secrecy in
science would make any kind OF
military secrecy impossible and that
this would compromise rights of ma
tional sovereignty. We must reply
that as scientists we are concerned
not with the maintenance Of mill
tary secrecy or of national SOW
ereignty but with that of scientific
freedom.
Claim to Be Abandoned.
IF national sovereignty means
the right of any nation to prepare
in secret for the destruction of
others and to use science for that
purpose, its maintenance will de-
stroy the spirit of science as we
have known it while it brings all
civilization within sight of its end.
Only abandonment of that claim
will make it possible for us to re-
build an international community
in science and Herewith remove
from the world the threat OF
meaSureleSs disaster"
He suggested the possibility OF a
world union of universities, pledged
to ban secrecy in research. This
would be made more difficult, 1t
