ELECTED
TIE farmers of the Valley met in the Pal

week for their regular Annual Meet ing.
The morning was consumed largely by finan-
cial recorts which were on the whole bet
ter than they have been. for the past two
vears--and better than members expected.
Following the lunch hour, during which the
Association furnished lunch to all those
ATTENDING, the members began the selection
of a new Board Of seven members to fill
the vacancies Of en- iring terms. The
first nominal ions on three year terms
were. for Clair 7atten and Harold L. ThGna
Patten non by one vote.
Nominal ions we're then opened for the Sec
ond member on three year term. !. R.
Brock was nominated. Objections to his
e1ieibil ity were raised by several mem
bers stat ing that he vas engaged in bus
mess under contract with the Associate
which DISQUALIFIED him because this con-
tract differed from any contract held
with the other members and vas in viola
ton of the quail ifications for Directors
Article VIII Sect ion 2. The interpreted.
ton of this section differed greatly and
finally a vote uas taken With the result
that his eligi lity vas sustained by a
vote Of 80 to 81.
This vote served to upset the meeting for
a ime and large number Of Dairymen
walked out. Those rema in ing maintained
that a quorum did not then exist and an
ATTEMPT to close the meet ing vas made.
After a check vas taken on members left
it vas found that quorum still existed
and business vas resumed.
In short order complete new Board vas
elected. They are Clair Patten, =. R.

Science Editor Of The Sior

Production of centrifugal forces
400, 000, 900 times greater than grav-
ity were described to the National
Academy of Sciences here today by
Dr.. Jesse w. Beams of the Univer-
sity of Virginia.
With newly designed rotors, DR..
Beams said, he has been able to
attain speeds of greater than 600,-
900 revolutions a second, thus plac-
ing in the hands of scientists one
Of the most powerful experimental
tools they have yet possessed.
For the first time, DR.. Beams has
produced machine operated by
light power" alone. 1t is not gen.
orally realized that beam of light
eXerts pressure, like a stream of
water. This may be of some i'm
portance in such a massive phenon-
enon as that of the full light of
the sun falling on the whirling
earth, but the force is so small
that it is almost impossible to
detect.
Ever Increasing Words.
Yet a stream Of light directed on
one of DR.. Beams little metal
spheres will set 1t into rotation at
ever increasing speed. All Of the
speeds and forces are attained with
very little expenditure OF power
The rotors are about the nearest
approach to perpetual energy yet
attained on earth. The spheres are
suspended in vacuum by magnetic
forces. Friction is reduced almost
to zero. 1t cannot be entirely elimin-
ated, for a perfect vacuum is I'M
obtainable.
When one of the rotors is given a
push, it will continue turning, with
no other application of force, for
two years. With no friction, it
would continue spinning forever,
according to theory.
The speed of rotation which can
be attained, DR.. Beams said, is
limited only by the strength of the
material of the rotor. With the
sizes now in use, the best steel would
be torn to bits by the enormous
forces generated at 100000 revolu-
tions second. With smaller sizes,
he hopes to attain still greater
speeds without centrifugal force
explosion. He now uses rotors rang
ing in weight from 100000 of a
gram to 1000 grams, or about two
pounds.
Tend to Tear Things Apart.
The centrifugal forces created tend
to tear things apart as gravity tends
to pull them together Otherwise the
laws governing them are identical
with those of gravity. A rotating
body tends to throw off any object
placed upon it with a force varying
with the speed Of rotation and the
weight of the object. This is the
principle of the cream separator
Heavier particles are thrown out
ward faster than light particles.
In another paper before the
academy, laboratory development Of
three new vacuum tubes, including
one that has unlimited life" was
reported by DR.. Albert w. Hull OF
the General Electric research
laboratory.
One is rectifier tube using the
element caesium both as a coating
for the hot cathode, the source Of
electrons, and as current-carryine
vapor. 1t is designed for changing
alternating current to direct cur.
rent. This gives the highest eff.
cheney possible for a mechanism Of
this sort, DR.. Hull said, and the
oretieally should last forever.
The second is a dispenser

from electrical brains" and apply
them to motors and other apparatus

BRIGHTON, Mich, Feb. IA,
Six-man justice court jury today
delivered not-guilty verdict in an
assault and battery charge against
a teacher who used a maple paddle
to discipline a 12-year -old boy.
The verdict, greeted by applaud

small city hall room where the
trial was held, freed 46-year-old

The complainant was Richard

In Fighting Tax Cuts
New Proposals in Offing,
Keyed to Potential

the tax laws to benefit business as

be to strengthen the country against
the possibility of an economic storm
2. Time the revision for later this
year when the budget situation be-
comes more certain. This would be
done provided Congress leaves the
Government in financial position to
afford revision costs after allowing
for substantial reduction of the
national debt.
3. Stress that a quick slash, like
that proposed in the Republican

would smash chances for sound
changes in the tax system in the
forseeable future by eating up the
money available. .

The administration was repre-

defense would be more effective than
its past course.
