the most controversial legislative
sessions of recent history.
One paper termed it a 'phone5
session." Another spoke of "cyni.
cal party maneuver."
The special session was called par
tally to speed up the Labor gov.
ernment's program to limit the
powers of the House of Lords. but
this was overshadoWed by the East
West tension over Germany.
Censure Vote Possible.
Conservative papers indicated a
move would be made to put the
government on the spot during the
session by challenging it to offer
services in the India
Hyderabad dispute. Failure to move
in this direction would strengthen
the Conservative charge that the
Laborites called the special session
solely for party advantage.
Political commentators in London
say the Conservatives plan to push
a vote of censure against the gov
ernment during the sitting. Basis
for the vote would be a charge that
the Laborites wasted time by Great
ing constitutional crisis over the
Parliament bill while the Nation
walloWs in a sea of economic and
international problems. Failure Of
the Laborites to defeat such vote
would mean the immediate resigna
tion of the cabinet

Bias Against America
Charqed 10 Romania

The United States today made
public a protest charging Romania
with serious discrimination" against
American interests in nationaliza-
ton of various businesses there.
Application of the naturalization
legislation to enterprises owned by
Americans, while Soviet-oWned en-
terprises are exempt, clearly vio-
lates provisions of the Romanian
peace treaty, this Government
charged.
The protest, made public by the
State Department, was delivered in
Bucharest on September 7 by the
American Minister, Rudolph E.
Schoenfeld.
1t pointed out that the peace
treaty signed last year stipulated
that Romania should not give any
other country any more favorable
treatment in commercial and indus
trial matters than the United States.
The protest charged that pro-
vision in the recent Romanian leg
islation for nationalizing industrial,
banking, insurance, mining, trans
pcrtation and other enterprises,
which exempts concerns formed un-
der a special convention with Rus
sia, is a serious discrimination
against the rights of Americans.
The American note concluded
that this Government would hold
the Romanian government re-
sponsible for return of properties
taken from American owners or tor
prompt payment of adequate COM
pensation. 1t charged that meas
ures to provide compensation
through bonds of nationalized in
dustry cannot be considered to pro-
vide effective compensation.

By-Passes Hiring Hall.
Earlier the union had expressed
willingness to handle Army cargoes
for the Orient under prestrike con-
ditions and wages, and C1O re-
gional director had said union steve
dores could be on the job today.
The announcement by the Army's
Port of embarkation here last night
made no mention of hiring halls
but said longshoremen for San
Francisco would be hired at the port
employment office.
The union spokesman said:
1T means hiring at dock gate In
complete bypass of the hiring hall
which has been used by the Army
for the past IL years, would reinsti-
tute the shapeup system and calls
for work under strike conditions.
1T has been the position of the
union from the beginning that it
would work essential Army cargo at
conditions prevailing before the
strike.
There will be a picket line around
the Army employment office in the
morning and no union longshoremen
will apply for job"
Loyalty Affidavit Required.
The Port of Embarkation an
nounced it would process and reg
lister an average of $50 men a day
until further notice"
appointments will be made OF
qualified persons on the basis OF
first come, first hired" the an
nouncement said. After registra-
ton, those qualified will be formed
into gangs for operations. Civil
Service regulations will prevail"
Secretary of the Army Royal an
nounced in Washington last night
the Army would hire directly its
own leaders, because all but one
of the West Coast shipping and
stevedoring firms have declined >ol

port Army cargo" The one excep-
ton asked for more time before de-
Gliding what to do)
His statement said the men en-
ployed would receive prestrike wages
and must sign "the usual Army 10y
atty affidavit" saying they do not
belong to any group urging over
throw of the Government by force.
A half-dozen Army transports
manned by Army personnel. are
among the go freighters now tied up
in San Francisco Bay by the 12-
day-old strike over wages and con-
troll of hiring. Presumably they are
ready to sail whenever needed
Since Army cargoes account for 2C
per cent of local shipments, and 10
to IS per cent of all Pacific Coast
shipping, they would offer work for
10 to 20 per cent of the 10000
strikers.

Many Distinct AbiIitiesMokeU Up
Intelligence, Scientists Told

Snyder of the University of Okla
homa reported there are more than
a million human blood groups.
Probably no two human beings
have precisely the same blood COM
binations, DR.. Snyder said.
These groups, he stressed, are in
herited through different combina-
tions of genes, the minute units of
heredity of which man has at least
$4,000 pairs in the nucleus of eacn
one of the billions of cells in his
BODY.
DR.. T. N Sonneborn of the Uni
versity of Indiana told the scten-
fists, however, that genes no longer
can be considered the sole deter
miners of heredity.
Cells" are the bricks of all life,
plant and animal Each consists
Of nucleus surrounded by viscous
fluid, the cytoplasm. The nucleus
is a ciose-packed mass of genes" +"
Each of these presumably controls
one or more elements of heredity,
such as body size, color OF eyes, etc.
Mechanism Is Unknown.
Now, DR.. Sonneborn said, it can
be proved eXperimentally that the
cytopiasm also has an important
role III heredity and that two cells
may differ widely. even when they
have identical genes. The mechan-
ism is unknown.

of Michigan advanced the thesis

than creator, of the great advances
of the race.

cause no such thing is inherent in

Cooperative Astronomy.
The international aspects of
were described to the
association last night by its retiring
president, DR.. Harlow Shapley, pro-
fessor of astronomy at Harvard.
DR.. Shapley told of some out
standing recent accomplishments in
research which even reached across
battle lines.
One of these has been the more
precise measurement of the dis
tance between the earth and the
sun, hitherto calculated roughly at
80 100000 miles. Certain observa-
tions were made by So observatorieS
on five continents in 1881. All the
data was turned over, by mutual
agreement, to Sir Spencer Jones,
British astronomer royal, whoI
worked over them for 10 years. Only
after the war had started was he
able to announce his results to the
world, including all the nations then
at war.
Sir Spencer arrived at figure of
SO 3,005, 900 miles. This still may be
out by as much as 5000 miles in
either direction, but it is more
nearly accurate than the hitherto
accepted figure.

and this has necessitated a post
ponement of public hearings at least
until Friday and possibly until next
week, Mr.. Thomas announced. The
public sessions were to have been
resumed tomorrow.
When DR.. Kamen entered the
committee room, he submitted two
prepared statements. One con-
tanned his formal denial that he
had improperly disclosed secret in
formation and also his explanation
for refusing to answer questions
behind closed doors.
The other statement was from
Chancellor Arthur H. Compton OF
Washington University, who was a
member of the Review Board OF
the Manhattan Project, DR.. Comp
ton stated that as a result OF careful
investigation of DR.. Kamen's war
time activities, Il have found no
evidence of un-American actions or
intentions"
Defends Teacher.
In this investigation" DR.. Comp
ton stated, II have not found any
evidence of unloyal actions or inten-
tions or that he has impaired any
information of military significance
to the Russians, though 1t is not
impossible that the Russians were
hoping to find some such informa-
ton. In the meantime the Govern
ment's understandable suspicion has
seriously handicapped DR.. Kamen IN
carrying on his professional duties.
I shall thus be pleased If in the
proposed congressional investigation
DR.. Kamen will have an opportunity
to hear and to answer the charges
that may be held against him."
DR.. Kamen related at the news
conference that he had worked for
about four years on an atomic
energy project at the University
of California and in July, 1914, the
Army asked the university to dis
miss him. So far as he could learn
at the time, he said. he was dis
missed for "indiScretion" because
he had been seen at dinner with
the then Soviet vice consul at San
Francisco, Gregory Kheifetz.
| Born in Canada.
DR.. Kamen' said he was born in
Canada, but came to the United
States as a child. He received his
B. S. and Phi. D. degrees in physical
chemistry at the University of Chi
cago and worked for several years
as staff chemist in the radiation
Laboratory OF the University of Cali
fornia. He went into the atomic
energy research work in 1910 and
continued with it after the Man.
haitian Project was organized.
After being dismissed from the
Manhattan Project, DR.. Kamen
worked for about nine months at a
Kaiser shipyard in California and
then was invited to join the faculty
at Washington University, where he
now is an associate professor OF
chemistry and head of the university

ology.

By Thomas R. Henry
Science Editor OF The Star.

Human intelligence is a COM
pleX of scores of distinct mental
abilities.
Psychologists now are laboring tt
untangie and isolate these. The ole
I. Q.-supposedly a measure of gen.
eral intelligence-has given way te
the mind profile
This was explained to the Amer.
lean Association for the Advance
ment of Science here today by DR.
L. L. Thurstone of the University
of Chicago. Although the abilities
already isolated appear to be sep.
arate entities, he said, there is g
much higher relationship amons
them than pure chance, indicating
the existence of a general intelli.
gence level.
Describes Factors.
Distinct abilities isolated to date
as described by DR.. Thurstone:
The space factor, or the ability te
visualize objects in space. Most
bright people are well endowed with
it, but some highly intelligent peo.
pie are conspicuosuly poor at it. II
is important in any scientific pur.
suit.
The number factor, or the ability
to do simple arithmetic. 1t is neces-
sary for bookkeepers, but great
mathematicians may rate low in
the factor. 1t has nothing to do
with mathematical reasoning.
The V factor, or comprehension of
words. 1t is handy to have when
listening to quiz programs. 1t is
isolated in vocabulary tests or tests
of verpal reasoning, such as inter-
probation of proverbs.
The w factor, or ability to eX-
press ones self in words. V and w
have not necessarily anything to
do with each other. One may be
destroyed by a brain disease. while
the other is not affected.
Memory Is Thing Apart.
Memory also is a thing apart.
Brilliant men sometimse have poor
memories, and very stupid fellows,
good memories. 1t is probable, DR..
Thurstone said, that there are sew
eral kinds of memory which it has
not yet been possible to isolate.
Another primary mental ability,
he said, is induction. 1t may be
closely associated with originality
but tests have not yet demonstrated
this.
Work with students has shown
that these factors mature at differ
ent rates. This, DR.. Thurstone said
may bring about far-reaching re-
visions in current teaching practice.
There is accumulating evidence. he
said, that these factors are passed
along as separate entities by
heredity. All of them, however, can
be improved to some extent by
training.

the association. DR.. Lawrence H.

Phone Unions Open
ParIeys Tomorrow
On Wage Increases

Two groups of telephone workers
will meet with Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Co. officials to-
morrow ito ask for a substantial
increase" in wages, a union official
said today The meeting is called
for 10 IN. at the Hotel Washington.
The two groups are divisions OF
the Communications Workers of
America independently. They are
Division so, headed by Mrs. Mary
Cannon and including about 5000
operators, clerical workers, dining
service employees and maids, and
Division SO, headed by Glenn Watts,
including about $500 commercial.
plant and accounting employees.
Mr.. Watts said the union notified
the company on August is that it
intended to reopen its contract for
wage increase in 80. days. At the
same time, he said, the union filed
formal notice under the Taft-Hart.
ley Act, which provides that union
must notify the National Labor
Relations Board at least so days
before a strike can be called. Mr..
Watts said the union has no strike
plans at this time but was complying
with the law.
The union contract with c. g. P.
provides for a 30-day negotiating
period, Mr.. Watts said. The three
year agreement, signed last May,
permits the union to reopen the con-
tract for wages on two occasions.
If no agreement is reached on an
increase within the first year, he
said, the union may terminate the
contract next May.
The union yesterday filed notice
of the negotiations with Gov. Tuck
of Virginia in Richmond under Vir-
ginia State law. The unions en-
ployes work in Virginia and Mary
land exchanges OF the phone COM
pany, as we'll as in the District.
Mr.. Watts said the union has not
set definite figure for its wage de-
mands, but that it is asking for a
"sllhsta tantial increase"

Mr. Truman also said:
There are some politicians-and
I could name them-who are under
the impression that scientific knowl-
edge belongs only to them. They
seem to feel that 1t is dangerous to
let scientists know anything about
scientific developments in this coun-
try "
