ziff Wants u. ). Probe
OF British in Palestine
By the Associofed Press


NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-William B.
Ziff, Chicago publisher and author
who was ousted as q delegate to the
recent World Zionist Congress at
Basle, Switzerland, said today the
United States should send a COM
mission to Palestine to investigate
British conduct there.
Mr.. Ziff made the statement at a
news conference He arrived here
last night by plane.
The United States has every
right to intervene and to demand
an accounting" he said. I'm my
opinion, the United States will de-
mand an accounting"
Mr.. Ziff declared the British were
entering the second phase of an
anti-Semitic struggle and called the
British "the inheritors of Hitler
because, he said, they were impos-
ing anti-JeWish laws in Palestine
and elsewhere.
He said there were only two dele
gates to the World Zionist Congress
worthy of respect-Rabbi Abba Hil-
lei Silver, United States representa-
tive, and David Ben Gurion of
Palestine.
The United Revisionist Party of
the World Zionist Congress an
nounced December 20 that it had
expelled Mr.. Ziff from party men,
bership and that it had disaccred-
tied him as a delegate to the con-
gress, where he had represented
the Revisionist Party of America.
The action was taken, party mem
bers said, because Mr.. Ziff made
statements without authorization.

erS that Mr.. Randolph was.
Perhaps the most important legis-
lation sought by Federal employees is
cost-of living wage raises. The out
look for such legislation Is not bright
but leaders of employees unions feel
there is a possibility that, in the
event of general wage raises in pri-
yate industry, Congress might vote
a cost-of- living pay raise bonus. The
wage raise would be withdrawn when
living costs came down.
Another important piece of legis-
lation, which is expected to have
the recommendation of the Civil
Service Commission, will be placed
before Congress. This calls for a
larger retirement deduction from
the paychecks of Government en-
ployes in order that they may have
surviyorship benefits added to their
retirement system.
Under the plan, Government en-
ployes would have 6 per cent of
their pay deducted each month, in
stead Of the present per cent. In
return, dependents of deceased as

German VI Rockets
Unlock Solar Secrets,
Scientists Are Told
By the Associoied Press


BOSTON, Dec. 28.-In year OF
aiming at secrets above the skies
which scientists have sought for de-
cades, the German W. rocket has
already contributed the most out
standing forward steps in many
years." DR.. E. H Krause of the
/ Naval Research Laboratory in
Washington said today.
He told the American Association
for the Advancement of Science
that United States experimenting
in Western deserts with the Nazi
war weapon has furnished valuable
data in solar spectroscopy, cosmic
rays and the measurement of pres
sure and temperature.
Greatest handicap in the Va
search of the atmosphere surround
ing the earth, DR.. Krause explained,
is the short time that the $4,000
pound rocket spends in free space.
Time Is Limited.
"The time the rocket spends
above 100000 feet is on the order OF
four to five minutes" he said, "and
it is therefore necessary to point all
experiments at this limited time"
He reported computations show
ing temperatures of 100 degrees CEN
tigrade on the rocket above 100000
feet
One of the. major problems in
ionosphere tests. he said, has been
developing satisfactory antennae
that would not be stripped away
on the rockets takeoff and added
that las we progress our expert
ments become more and more COM
pleX"
Evidence that penicillin and strep-
tomycin decrease mental abilities
temporarily was reported to the
association by DR.. David I. Macht
of Sinai Hospital, Baltimore.
No Permanent Damage.
He described the reactions OF
white rats that were given large
doses of each of these new drugs.
The animals ability to find their
way through circular mazes was i'm
paired for two or three days. They
also became poor at walking tight
ropes and climbing vertical ropes.
There was no evidence of perrna-
nent mental or nerve damage. On
the contrary, after while the rats
developed a tolerance, so far as
their nerves were concerned. The
drugs no longer interfered so much
with their cunning and co-ordina-
ton.
This tolerance appears to be like
the resistance to either drug which
doctors have found in giving penicil-
lin and streptomycin to human be-
ings. The germs after a time get so
that it takes more of the drug to
destroy them.
Officers Are Elected.
Arthur w. Mcmahon of Columbia
University was elected president of
the association for the coming year,
succeeding Walter F. Dodd of Chi
cago.
Other officers elected were Quincy
Wright, University of Chicago, first
vice president; v. o. Key, jr., Johns
Hopkins, University, second vice
president, and Charles Fairman, Le-
land Stanford University, third vice
president.
Those reelected were Kenneth
Colegrove, Northwestern University,
secretary-treasurer, and Harvey
Walker, Ohio State University, as
sistant secretary treasurer. 4

Federal Employees Face Fight to Retoin Gains
During Session Of Economy Minded Congress

well as retired Government en-
ployes would receive modest monthly
pensions.
Discharge Benefits Desired.
Unemployment compensation will
be sought to soften economic hard
ships suffered by dismissed Federal
workers. Congress will be asked tc
accord these employees the same
benefits received by workers in pri-
vate industry.
Legislation will be re-introduced
in Congress to give tax relief to re-
tired Federal workers. The bill
would exempt the first $1,440 of the
o~-,r'itv f-or1 taxation. This legis-
lation was passed last year by the
house but died for lack of Senate
action.
A study of the entire Classifica-
ton Act of 1923, under which Fed
eral job classifications and pay are
set, will be asked of the new Con-
gress, with a view toward revising
it and ending present inequities in
the act. Mr.. Rees said he would
support such a study.

was because all of us like to learn
