a new cosnic radiation about 100

corded By instruments carried on

N. Mex.
This hitherto unknown weak ra-
diation Its particles seldom are
propelled BY much more than 500.-
O00. 900 electron volts or only q little
more than twice the power Of the
atomic bomb has been determined.
by scientists ct the Naval Research
Laboratory, from the study Of auto
matte recordings on various flights.
& II constitutes, they say, almost d
third OF all the so-called acosnic
radiation" encountered at such alti-
Etudes. Primary cosrnic rays, mostly
infinitesimally minute particles,
lombard the earth from outer space,
presumably originating somewhere
In the Milky Way. The earth acts as
q great magnet with It's field Extend
ing far into space. A particle re-
quires driving force of at least s.
000, ,000. 900 electron volts to get
through this field into the planets
upper atmosphere.
Thus. 1t is obvious, the Naval Re-
search scientists say. that the new
radiation cannot be coming from
outside. II must be created In some
way in the upper atmosphere itself.
The most likely hypothesis advanced
to date Is that it results from knock
ing outer electrons from atoms by
the more powerful particles. These
extremely light primary units of
matter float upward and, If there
were nothing In the way, would es-
cape from the earth entirely and
add trifle to the density Of the
space between the stars.

Reilly, Boothby Favor
Plan 10 Give Electric
Refunds 10 Hospital

Endorsement of the plan for cleo
trio power consumers to turn over
their rate-reduction refunds to
Children Hospital came today
from John A. Reilly, president of
the Washington Board of Trade,
and Everett J. Boothby, president
Of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association.
Describing the plan as "a most
timely one" Mr.. Boothby said he
believed it should meet with almost
unanimous response from the house
holders and business firms Of
Metropolitan Washington.
He pointed out that the amount
of the refund TO which each electric
power consumer Is entitled is not
large enough to be vital factor
to many consumers but the total
amount might enable this worthy
institution to reach the original goal
of its campaign and enable it to
render greater and much needed
service to the many children of the
SdpLtdl SltS WIio lCcu It's lloSpitdii-
zation facilities"
Mr. Reilly said he would be glad
to commend the plan to the Board
of Trade.
He termed it IAN excellent idea
for helping this worthy institution
complete its building fund"
1T offers a practical plan that
is simple in operation Mr.. Reilly
declared. Furthermore. under this
procedure many thousands of friends
will participate in the undertaking
thus assuring communicated in
terest in Children's Hospital"

If you wish to help the hos
pital fund.
Clip out the attached cou-
pom. Sign and mail to the
Potomac Electric Power Co. or
Room 724, The Star Building.
On receipt the power COM
pany will acknowledge by a
postcard and will send you a
full bill in July.
At the end of the billing
period, Children'S Hospital
will receive the coupons with
a check from the power COM
pany. The hospital. in turn,
will directly acknowledge by
mail to you receipt of the gift.
Nothing in this procedure
will affect continuance of the
reduced power rate. You are
giving only the excess pay
ment which accumulated dur
ing the period between the
effective date of the rate re-
duction and final court action
upholding it.
The idea of aiding the hos
pital through Pepco refunds
was first suggested to The Star
by Rear Admiral C. r. Traip.
U. s. NJ, retired, chairman of
the Hospital Campaign Com
mittee, shortly after the PUG
issued it's order for the rebate.
While Pepco was determining
whether the plan could be
worked out, the same proposal
came a week later from Frank
Lyon, attorney and land de-
veloper, as weH.as from others
who believed power consumers
would agree this was the best
Way to use their refund.

without taking another penny
out of your pocket you can help
Children's Hospital serve the
city's sick and needy young
sters.
During the past three years,
if you were an average nome
consumer of electric power,
you have saved $3.50.
The Potomac Electric Power
Co. expects to refund $3,2l3,-
COL in these savings to con-
sumers next month. Chill
dren's Hospital needs $4,000
to complete its building pro-
gram. If enough consumers
will forego their $3.50 re-
funds, the goal will be easily
achieved. Will you give this
small saving to the hospital?
Here are the facts:
On March l, 1914, the Public
Utilities Commission ordered
a reduction in electric rates.
Pepco chose to fight the de-
cision. Final court action last
May upheld the reduction.
Meanwhile, $3,213,601 had
accumulated in impounded
profits which the company
will refund to consumers in
credits on bills to be paid in
July.
Refunds will be computed
on the basis of 10 cents a
month for residential bills for
all months in which the bills
exceeded the minimum of IS
cents. The maximum refund
will be $3.50 for the three
years. Small businesses will
average $7.20 for the 36
months.

to figure prominently in the question
of former Chairman Mead next

ruling yesterday by Justice Schwein-

missing parts OF evidence and
Carson records.
Subpoena Requires Records.
Defense counsel asserted Mr.. Mead
and the committee withheld from
the Justice Department as well as
from May and the Garssons certain
checks, lumber company minutes
and stock certificate records. This
evidence, Mr.. Margiotti told the
court, was material to the case and
Mr.. Mead should be asked to tel
what became of it." The subpoena
sent TO Mr.. Mead requires him to
bring committee records.
Mr.. Margiotti also had hoped to
question Mr.. Mead about political
motives" which, according to May
and the Garssons, prompted the
Senate committee investigation and
''motivated" Mr.. Mead, then a cam

Justice Schweinhaut ruled that

could not question Mr.. Mead on

Roberts Asks Action,
Not Talk, in Congress
On Bringing in DPS

Former Supreme Court Justice
Owen J. Roberts today urged that
Congress do something by action
and not mere words" to uphold
American ideals by offering refuge
to a fair share of Europe's displaced
persons.
He testified before House Ju-
dietary Subcommittee in support Of
q bill by Representative Stratton,
Republican, of Illinois, which would
permit 100000 displaced persons to
enter the United States during the
next four years.
Mr.. Roberts said most of the dis
placed persons had shown by their
opposition to totalitarianism that
they were people Of quits and con-
science" of the type to whom the
United States traditionally has
given refuge.
Green Also Backs Bill.
:, He recalled that his own ancestors
came to this country to escape re-
llElOUS dlta pDllbtSdl INl oCSoRAOI4 40
Europe and said he did not see
how the United States could turn
its back on the displaced persons
made homeless now because of such
persecution.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, also
urged approval of the Stratton bill.
He said that by such action the
United States may demonstrate TO
the world that it will not only fight
for democracy and freedom, but will
also remain a place Of refuge for
those fleeing totalitarian oppreS-
SION
Green said the United States had
offered little sanctuary to the refu-
gees from 'Nazi butchery,' and
added:
Are we to offer the same callous
trea tment to the refugees from
Stains slave labor camps and to
the few remaining survivors of Hit
lers anti-Semitic scourge? The
eyes OF the world are upon America
to represent the hope and alterna-
tive of freedom as opposed TO the
totalitarian oppression and the bru-
tality Of Stains RedFacism.
Russian ID. P. Won't Go Back.
Mr.. Green said most of the per-
sons in displaced person camps in
the western occupation zones OF
Germany and Austria are refusing
to 90 back to their et-dominated
homelands because of fears of OPP
preston.
Mr.. Green asserted that the STRAIT
ton Dill would not have any adverse
bearing on American wcrkmen, dis
putting a contention by another wit
ness, Charles E. Babcock of Vienna,
Va, chairman of the National Leg
islauIve Committee of the Junior
Order of United American Me-
chanics of the United States.
Mr. Babcock contended that ad-
mission of 100000 displaced persons
year would make housing ana
employment problems here worse.
He insisted that no emergency
exists which justifies this bill,
contending that most of the dis
placed persons have no one to
blame but themselves for their pres
ent situation" and that the best
solution is for them to return to
their home nations"
Mr.. Roberts said that for them
to return home would mean going
to prison or death" When Rep
reSentative Gossett, Democrat. of
Texas said that is debatable," Mr.
Roberts said: 1T might be possible
for them to put themselves under
the yoke, but our experience with
totalitarian governments doesn't in
dicate that change OF heart would
do them much good

'ABC Board May Ask
Police for Witnesses
In Drinking Arrests

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board is considering asking the
Metropolitan Police Department to
obtain the names of witnesses when
They make arrests for disorderly
conduct or intoxication in District
restaurants.
The decision was made after a
hearing yesterday afternoon. when
restaurant owner was brought be-
fore the board charged with having
sold beer to a man under the influ-
ence of liquor.
The case being heard was that
Of Richard E. Dougherty. owner of
a restaurant at 1244-46 Pennsylvania
avenue S E. The man to whom the
beer was sold was arrested and for
feited collateral. and the owner was
cited before the ABC board.
Three policemen testified the man,
John Wojeichowski, was drunk. The
waitress who served the man and
several customers who were in the
place at the time said he was sober.
The waitress, Miss Violet Allen,
testified she had served the man
only two or three beers.
Big Investment Cited.
F. Joseph Donohue, attorney for
the defendant restaurateur, told the
board it was "a sad commentary" on
justice when the police arrested a
man on an intoxication charge and
did not obtain the names of wit
Inesses. If an automobile so much
as touches the fender of another car,
the police make every effort to OBJ
tain witnesses, the attorney said.
The restaurateur has a big in
vestment in his property, which he
can lose, if the ABC Board has only
the testimony of the police, and
therefore Furnishes the restaurant
man or tavernkeeper," Mr.. Donohue
told the board. In this case the
owner of the restaurant obtained
the names of witnesses and they lost
time at their work to help case
of misplaced justice. I believe that
the board should request the super
intendent of the Metropolitan Police
Department to order policemen
making arrests in restaurants to OBJ
tain the names of witnesses"
Robert D. Wise. assistant corpora
tion counsel, who prosecuted the
case, agreed with Mr.. Donohue and
said that the licensee had a valuable
property in his license and should
be protected.
Previous Request Made.
Alan w. Payne, chairman of the
ABC Board, and William P. Mere
dith, member of the board, said
after the hearing. they had asked
the late Col. Edward j. Kelley, when
he was head of the Police Depart
ment. to instruct the police to OBJ
tain the names OF witnesses in cases
that might be heard before the
board, and he had agreed to do so.
Mr.. Payne said he would take
the matter up with the board again
and make second request.
Another case heard by the board
Yesterday was that against Fred
erick Middledorf, owner of a res
taurant at All Fourth street SW.
He was charged with selling to in
toxicated persons and also with hav-
ing fighting in his place of busi-
ness.
He testified that when he OBJ
served four customers were under
the influence of intoxicants, he or
dered them to leave. They refused,
he said, and started a fight which
necessitated a call for help to the
police.
The board took both cases under
advisement.

Tibet Revolt Reported
As Gen, Chang Orders
Fight AgainstMongoI
BY the Assoeiaied Press

NANKING, June 13.-Trouble
in Tibet cropped up today as
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
ordered his garrison in North
western China-Scene of an
Outer Mongolian invasion-to
defend China's border ito the
last man."
Chinese dispatches from Chung
king disclosed that Tibet. China's
southwesternmost province, was Sc
riously disturbed by local clashes be-
tween monks and nonrnonastic res
Eidents.
The trouble started, Chinese cor
respondents related, when Chinese
military authorities arrested the
leader of the Buddhist monks and
Ireportedly put him to death.
Monks Stage Armed Rebellion.
Monks of three important monas-
taries which practically rule the ma
jor portion of Tibet then staged an
armed rebellion against Chinese au-
thority, and fighting was reported
under way near Lhasa. provincial
capital The monks were described
as pro-British, while the nonmo-
nastic groups favored the Chinese.
Government reports said war
planes bearing the Soviet Red Star
continued to bomb and Strafe Chi
nese positions in the Peitashan re-
gion of Sinkiang Province. They
said the Mongolians have rushed
reinforcements by truck to Petit
ashan, so miles inside Chinese ter
ritory.
A new slant was given the Sim
kiang invasion by the American
owned Shanghai Post -Mercury-that
it probably was a tribal clash with
some Soviet connection.
Brothers Head Rival Groups.
The newspaper said recent ar
rivals from Northwest China told of
reports that two brothers of the
Sheriff Khan family among the
leading clans in Chinese Kazakhis-
tan-had split and were heading
rival factions.
Both were leaders in the rebellion
movement against China, it was said,
until the elder brother went to Rus
sia for training under the Soviets.
The other brother chose to side with
the Chinese. A number Of clashes
followed. The present incident is
believed to be one of these outbreaks.
The newspaper Hsin Min-Pao re-
ported from Mukden that the Chi
nese inspection group to Soviet
controlled Dairen had Cancelled
planned trip to that Manchurian
seaport. The party. sent to prepare
for agreed Chinese administration of
Dairen and Port Arthur, returned to
Mukden from Port Arthur, where it
