The metal called mercury Is US
ually liquid. Even if we place a
cup of it outdoors when the tenn
perature is IS or 20 degrees below
zero, the mercury will keep its Ii
uuid form. That is why this metal
is employed widely in thermometers.
Instead of freezing solid, it keeps on
working in very cold weather.
There are, however, ways OF max
ing mercury solid. One way is to
pour liquid air on it. Let us say that
YOU put some of it in mold with
the outline of doughnut. Then, II
you treat it with liquid air, you will
have a mercury doughnut."
No one would care to try to eat
such a Gcughtnut, but interesting
things can be done with it. Hand
ling it with pair of pincers, you
may place it in a pan of water. II
you lift it out a few moments later,
it will be coated with ice. II you
put it back in the water. the ring
will melt, and you will have liquid
mercury inside the water.
In articles about liquid air,
statement like this often appears:
1T is so cold that when placed
on ice it will boil
That is true, but it is only part
of the truth. When it is placed in
a pan or kettle almost anywhere, 1t
will boil. A kettle of it will boil in
a living room of house, and it will
keep on boiling outdoors in the mid
die of winter.
Liquid air is so much colder than
ice that we can hardly compare the
two. A block of ice has tempera-
ture of 80 degrees above zero Fahr-
enheit, but it is warm" when COM
pared to liquid air.
The coolest weather known on
earth never gets that cold. A few
places, as Northern Siberia, have
temperatures of 80 degrees below
zero, or a bit more, but that is no
where near the temperature Of IL
quid air. Liquid air Is about 3l8

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Jan. "a.
Police intimated today that new
arrests might follow in their in
vestigation of so Slovaks they have
accused Of working with American
intelligence units.
Authorities yesterday made public
letters they said were seized from
the alleged spy ring.
The police said the go persons

with plotting against the govern
ment are only the first to be rounded
up.
Ten state officials, II university
students, a Catholic priest and three
nuns were among those accused.
Police said they uncovered spying
orders, a radio transmitter and other
material, in addition to the letters.
(The police action in Slovakia,
a political division of Czecho-
Slovakia, apparently is contin-
uance Of Communist house
cleaning tactics. A little more
than a week ago, seven anti
government leaders were SEN
tensed to prison for their activ-
ities.)
The letters, police said, proved
that the arrested group was working
with American intelligence units in
Austria and were written by Josef
Vican, a Slovak who few to Austria.
They identified Vican as former
Slovak government official when
Hitler made Slovakia an inde-
pendent state.
Vican was said to have written in
one letter: II am in connection with
an intelligence department and with
an operation department of the
American Army"
Another letter quotes him as say
ing: "The Americans are starting to
prepare for war very seriously" In
another letter to a Catholic action
group he is said to have written:
THE Americans will have Slovakia
as their Central European strong
hold, from which they could inter-
fere efficiently with movements OF
the Soviet"
Meanwhile, Alois Petr, Minister of
Transport and leader of the Czech
Peoples Party, told district meet

7 Of ) Trials Cancelled
As Wife Drops Prosecution

Only one trial, instead of three
now is awaiting a Municipal Court
defendant, whose marital difficult
ties apparently have taken a turn
for the better.
Ellis M. Heath, 35, colored, of
the 400 block of Irving street
NV, was freed yesterday Of
charges of threatening his wife,
Mary, and cutting up $500 worth
of her clothing. Mrs. Heath re-
fused to prosecute him. and un-
der the law. a wife cannot be re-
quired to testify against her hus-
band.
Still pending is a jury trial set
for October on an earlier charge
of assault, but Mrs. Heath's ac-
ton indicated she may drop that
matter as we'll, prosecuting attor-
neys said.
Heath was held without bond
for two days last week, following
his arrest on the threats and cut
ting charges. A new bond was
set after his attorney had ap-
pealed to District Court for a writ
of habeas corpus. Heath was not
able to make the $4,000 bond
however, and remained in jail.

An informed Air Force official
said today that strategic vulner-
ability" of areas in the United
States to air attack by Russia is
considered in placing contracts for
high priority combat planes.
His remark was in connection
with the proposed trip of Secretary
of Air Symington. Air Force Off
GERS and Senator Magnuson, Dem
ocrat, of Washington, to Seattle.
The group plans to fly to Seattle
in September to discuss the pro-
posed move to the Boeing operated
plant in Wichita, Kans.. of the
sub assembly work on the BAT
bomber now being done at the
Boeing -owned plant in Seattle.
Since Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg,
Air Force chief of staff, this week
told the B-36 investigating COM
mittee that Russia is the lone
major military threat to the
United States''-A remark he said
had been cleared with the State
Department-the Air Force has
been more frank in discussing
production matters.
I'VE have no desire to fold up
existing plants but we do not pro-
pose to expand activities in areas
which in time of war would be
considered vulnerable" the Air
Force representative said. This
especially holds true in regard to
high priority combat planes.
The Air Force regards the BAT
bomber as second to the B-36

Asked whether the Seattle area
was considered Vulnerable in
event of war, the answer was a
blunt: YES"
The Air Force spokesman en-
phasized that it is not proposed
to move the Seattle Boeing plant
to Wichita. but rather to concen-
trate in the latter city all work
on the BAT. In addition to the
subassembly work on the BAT the
Seattle plant has Air Force con-
tracts for C-97 stratofreighter and
B-50 medium bombers. Also it
produces civilian aircraft.
Asked about the Los Angeles
area in which are located several
aircraft plants. the Air, Force rep
resentative replied that map
wise. in relation to the Great Cir
Gle Route. the Los Angeles area
is not vulnerable as is Seattle"
Last September the National
Security Resources Board put out
a booklet Ito alert industrial lead
ers to the strategic significance of
industrial plant location in the
event of another war"
This booklet, Looking Ahead,
assumes an enemy has and can
deliver atomic bombs. These are
too expensive to be used on cities
of less than $4,000 people.
"It is, therefore. strategically
desirable to plan industrial ex-
pansion so that further urban
concentrations of more than So
900 people may be avoided" the
booklet said.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Aug. 19.-
The Chilean government, armed

Santiago last night to help halt
rioting which it said was Com
munist-inspired.
Eight persons were killed and
800 injured in street fighting
during the past two days. The
violence followed a half-cent in
crease in Santiago bus fares.
Congress. alarmed by the dis
orders, gave the government Of
President Gabriel Gonzalez Videla
power to suppress public assembly.
censor the press and radio and
arrest and search persons and
property without warrants.
The president told union lead
ers last night that strong govern
ment measures were aimed at
Communists - banned in Chile -
not union workers. He said legis-
lation benefting the workers
would be introduced at the next
session of Congress.
Any further attacks on city
buses, he declared, would be re-
garded as sabotage and the insti-
gators punished as saboteurs.
