@. What are some of the highest
prices paid for horses in the United
States?-J. K.
A. Following are some record
prices: Axtell, $l05 900; Arion 1892
SIPS, 900; Belwin. $4,000; Volo Song

@. Do metals such as iron and
steel have a grain like wood?-A
H. L.
A. The National Bureau of Stand
ards says that iron and steel, like
all metals and their alloys, are COM
posed of crystals or grains. The size
and shape of these grains are con-
trolled by the conditions of solidifi-
cation, working and heat treatment.
These may be revealed by suitable
etching reagents and subsequent ex-
animation under microscope.
@. BY what method was the con-
struction Of the pyramids in Egypt
accomplished?-C. H. c.
A. Herodotus says that the smooth
surfaced pyramids were first built
as step pyramids, like a staircase
of steps. The stone blocks were
hoisted to the first landing by means
of machines constructed of short
wooden beams, and then lifted to
the second. The top of the pyramid
was the first to be faced and fin
ished, the builders then proceeding
downward.
@. Is the dome of st. Peters in
Rome lighted on certain special oc-
casions? What are they?-C. A. w.
A. According to the Apostolic Dele
cation, there are no set dates on
which the dome Of st. Peters is
Illuminated. This is done from time
to time on very special occasions,
such as the evenings of canoniza-
tions. During the war years the
dome was never illuminated, and
even for the recent canonization of
st. Frances Xavier Cabrini and 9TH
ers the exterior Of St. Peters was
Illuminated only partially. 1

friends don't, and he could easily
have forced Mr.. Wallace out.
2. The President honestly be-
lieves the Byrnes policies are going
to work He has gambled another
Wallace outburst on the eve of elec-
tions on that certainty. He has also
risked a compromise solution that
may outrage Mr.. Byrnes.
3. Mr.. Truman is a good sport.
He was aware of his own respon-
sibility in having let Mr.. Wallace
go ahead and speak after hearing
the Wallace views by letter. in con-
versations, and after reading the
text itself. Whatever view may be
taken of the Presidents response
bility toward Mr. Byrnes. it must
be said that vis-a-vis Wallace, he
has delivered.
(Wallace's statements prove that
Mr.. Byrnes was not consulted. Mr..
Wallace said he reached his de-
cision in conversation with the
President and at no time left the
study. He also states that no tele-
phone calls were given or received
during that time)

Mr.. Wallace has only one advo-
cate in the oficial family: Post
master General Hannegan, who is
convinced that without the liberal
independent voters for which Mr..
Wallace is spokesman the Demo-
Gratis cannot win.

cancelled speaking tour he was to
make for the. party despite a flood

the Act of Congress. BY public opin-
ion I mean merely the greater part
Of the public that had any sugges-
tions to- offer Washington CORE
spondents assumed. as a matter OF
course, that Mr.. Lilienthal would be
considered and the Nations editorial
writer's pretty generally indorsed the
assumption. Support of this in
formal and unofficial nomination
came from all directions and critl-
cism from none.
Called Natural Selection.
It was regarded as a natural selec-
ton, not only because of the mag
nifcent accomplishments of IVA
a vast public service performed
without the color of politics-for
which Mr.. Lilienthal is given chief
credit, but also because of the work
he already has done in the field OF
atomic energy control. Mr.. Lilien-
thai was chairman of the fve-man
board which, after two-months
study prepared a plan for a world
wide atomic development authority
that was accepted by the State De-
partment and the President and
made the basis of the American
proposals to the United Nations
Atomic Commission.
There is excellent reason to. be-
lieve that Mr.. Lilienthal is not one
of those right men whom the Presi-
dent has failed to persuade; reason
to believe rather that Mr.. Lilienthal
has not been asked.
1t may be, of course, that his
present post at iva is considered
one that nobody but Mr.. Lilienthal
could fill, that it demands the very
best man available, which he has
proved himself to be. But it is
equally certain that the Atomic En-
ergy Commission requires the best
the country has to offer, that its
importance literally cannot be over
estimated. In naming virtually any
body else the President is taking a
chance, since nobody else has had
opportunity to demonstrate his ca
pacity in the manner that Mr..
Lilienthal has.
Might Decline Post.
Conceivably Mr.. Lilienthal would
decline, for what would seem to him
self sufficient reasons. But it would
be reassuring to know that he had
at least been asked. 1t would be an
indication of the caliber and char
acter of men being sought for the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Speaking to the American Chemi-
cal Society in Chicago last week,
Mr.. Lilienthal revealed his own ap-
proach to the atomic problem. He
said:
"It Is my opinion that the only
hope to control atomic energy and
prevent its use for destruction lies
in applying the scientific spirit and
the scientific method. In a world
thus far largely run by the ideas

THE political method" he said,
lis based on the process of first
deciding what answer you and your
side wants, and then scurrying
around for evidence and arguments
and public opinion and force to sup

Political methods" he concluded
mildly, "are generally quite in con-
trast to the scientific spirit and
method"

during that hour and twenty min

while an incredible mass of bobby

House fence in the biggest crowds

Ocean Is Rising But
Not So You'd Notice
By cHARLEs MALoNY

AP Newsfeatures
WASHINGTON. - Look out,
landlubbers the seas are COM
ing after you. Observations
showing that ocean levels are
rising have just been disclosed by
the u. S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey.
Don't let it disturb you,
though. The upward trend as
recorded by the survey over the
last couple of decades, is at "a
rate of approximately IL feet in
a century,
A little curbstone calculation
shows it'll take $3.50 years-un-
til 5466 AD,--to cover up mile
of coastland, which means that
people in Kansas City can afford
to ignore the matter.
Bears Watching
Nevertheless, on the word of
survey experts, who go in for
the long-range view, from an
engineering and geophysical
point of view it is very important
to keep track of this movement.
In fact, the survey'll do it for
you and let you know how it's
going-it claims ability now to
predict tides 100 years in advance
IF necessary" because it does
some careful checking on the
ocean level at least once year.
Tide gauge records We're
checked at Portland, Me-; New
York, Baltimore and ''as far
south as Key West" with the
same old result-level rising at
the rate of Ia feet a century.
Titles at Stake
The trend may change from
up to down at any time, the sur
vey acknowledges, but it OBJ
serves that IF the rise should
continue indefinitely it might
well affect tidewater land titles
and have an influence on other
matters of economic and social
importance. "
Why is the ocean acting up?
That's simple, says the survey.
Gradual receding of the worlds

DO NOT FORGET NAzI
ATROCITIES

The people of the United
States should not forget es-
tahlished atrocities. COM
mitted by the NaziS in the
late war. including the muir
der of 200 American prison
ers of war captured in the
Ardennes offensive of De-
cemher, 1914.
Testimony at the trial of
three officers and six en-
listed men of q German Elite
Division reveals that they
had been ordered TO take
no prisoners and that many
company commanders were
told. just before the often
Sive began, that the re
slstance of the enemy will
be broken with brutality
the end juStifies the means. "
1t is interesting to note
that one German lieutenant
admitted that under orders.
he told his men not TO take
prisoners but warned them
mot TO shoot at prisoners
who wave their steel heE
NETS This, he. said. was q
preeaution against shooting
Germans who wore Amer
lean uniforms who had been
instructed to wave their
helmets If captured. Earlier
the men had been instructed
TO wear American uniforms
and use American vehicles
TO confuse other Americans.
There may be some peo-
pie in the United States who
think, since peace has come
to the earth, that the United
States should forgive and
forget those who murdered
her sons. We do not belong
to this group. 1t is very es-
sential, in our opinion, that
the United States demon
strate completely and deter
minedly. that any nation
which mistreats American
fighting men in war. will be
required to pay the price for
brutality.
1t is not possible for US to
protect eur men in combat
during a war. when they fall
into the hands of the enemy.
but every fighting man of
the United States should
knew, when he goes into
battle, now or in the future.
that if he is miStreated or
unjuStN dealt with. that the
power and strength of his
country viii be used to the
fullest extent to exact jus
tiee from those who unjustly
take his life.
There Is no desire what
ever to execute vengeance
upon individuals. regardless
of their depravity. but there
must exist burning desire
to serve effective notice up
on all peoples that Ameri-
cans, who become prisoners
during a conflict, must be
treated according TO the
rules of international war
fare and that. when the
struggle is over, the United
States, as a nation, viii not
consider it ended until those
proven guilty pay the prop
er penalty for their crimes.

KEY VESTS WORSE

Key West s greatest prob
lem is the acquisition of
more industries.
The manager of Key
Vests largest store shook
his finger and declared that
Key Vests worst problem
is burdensome taxatl on,
which seares industry away
from the city. He reasoned
in this way:
City and county assess
ments in Key West are
based on 100 per cent vahla-
ton. Let us assume that an
induStrialist came TO Key
West with the object in
view of establishing an in
dustry here. the land and
structure for which would
cost 500, 900. He INQUIRIES
about taxation. He learns
that it is based on full val
uation. He learns further
that the millage in Key
West for the coming fiscal
year will be about % mills,
and in the county probably
more than 20 mills. He as
sunles that the millage IN
city and county will total
As mills. That means that
his taxes would amount TO
S4.5O0 a year, and that
taxes, in a little more than
90 wears. would eat up the
cost of his establishment.
He turns ON his heel and
leaves town.
You own a plot that is as
sessed at 81. OH0. Your taxes
in city and county amounts
TO S45. You build an apart
ment. costing $4,000, on
the plot. and Your assess
ment jumps to $4,000 and
your taxes to $3.50, What
de YOU get from the county
for the increased taxation?
Nothing. though from the
city yoa get police and fire
protection.
What induStrialist would
construct a plant here when
he learns of our top-heavy
taxation? Who is inclined
to erect a building with the
knowledge of high taxes ne
would have to pay on 1t.
The apartment Won ! d
help in the development of
Key West, and you are pen
allied for building it. Miami
Beach had the right idea. II
YOU owned a vacant lot, you
paid taxes on full valuation /:
If yea constructed a build
ing en- the lot. the assess
nlent was based on ene-quar-
ter of the full valuation
That plan was an incentive
to investors TO build at Mi
ami Beach.
Since he has been here.
the manager said. the trend
of taxation has been up and
up and up. with no indica-
ton when the uptrend viii
stop.
The business man said
that the city and county
are sitting ON each ether
backsteps, and that he
thought that the merger OF
the county and city would
reduce taxation.
The manager agreed that
it would. but not sufficient
ly. What the city and coun-
ty need more than anything
else are officials who would
be as careful of mainten-
ance and operational ex-
penses as are the officials
of a successful private cor
poration.
