Features of the Melish Case

FeatureS OF the WELSH 1dsS
To the Editor Of The Star:
Public attention, I think. should be di-
rected to two particularly disauieting fea-
lures of the current effort of the vestry OF
Holy Trinity Church, Of Brooklyn. N. Y. to
get rid. by devious and undemocratic pro-
cedures, of their widely beloved and uni
versally respected rector Of the past 45
years, the Rev DR.. John Howard Melish.
The reason alleged is that the outside
activities" OF his son. the Rev. William
Howard Melish. assistant rector, who is
chairman Of the National Council of Soviet
American Friendship, have adversely al
fected the parish"
This charge would seem to be amply re-
, futed by the fact that the financial posi-
ton" of the parish has markedly improved
during the past year and that substantial
majorities Of both the voting members and
the active workers of the parish Immediately
banded together to resist the move of the
vestrymen.
No charge is brought against the father
other than that Of being his sons progenitor.
Guilt by association now so familiar to
Government workers as one Of the cardinal
sins In the times Of panicky irrationalism-
ranking almost on q par with the crime OF
membership in a cooperative bookshop-
has been extended to include "guilts by
genetics." Thus is the biblical formula re-
versed and the sins of the children are
henceforth to be visited upon the fathers
perhaps unto the third and fourth genera
ton"

reminiscent Of one of the most revolving
practices Of the rabid followers Of Herr

Trail at 460 Below Zero
Helium Three, Rare Form Of Sun
Cas- Liquefed at Los Alamos
Bv Thomas r. Henry

By Thomas r. Henry
Atomic Energy Commission physicists
have blazed new trail into the weird
world Of extreme cold-in the neighbor.
hood of 400 degrees below zero.
That Is the limit Of cold Heat is the
motion Of molecules. Here all molecular
motion growing slower and slower down
the temperature scale, comes to an end.
As the final depths Of cold are approached
familiar substances begin to behave in
strange ways. Many of them. for example,
lose all resistance to the flow Of an electric
current and become superconductors. A
current started flowing through one Of
them would continue with undiminished
strength essentially forever.
The major step taken at the Los Alamos
laboratory of the Atomic Energy Com
mission Is the liquef1cation Of Helium Three,
light and extremely rare form Of the
sun gas" which is about the most stable
substance in the universe.
Strangest Of Materials.
About IS years ago the common form Of
helium was first liquefed at the United
States Bureau Of Standards. 1t changed
from gas to liquid at IT. degrees Fahren-
heit. 1t never became solid as do other
gases at extremely low temperatures.
The liquid proved to be about the
laws Of gravity. it would flow uphill. Hardly
any container could be found which would
hold it. 1t would creep through walls Of
any metal. presumably flowing in the in
fnitesimally minute spaces between mole.
cules. Its heat conductivity was a million
times greater than that of normal liquids.
Liquefied Helium Three represents an
other big step forward into the realm Of
absolute zero, the Atomic Energy Commits
sion physicists say 1t remains gas for
a considerably greater distance down the
temper ature scale, changing into a liquid
only at ST. degrees Fahrenheit above the
final border of cold.
Exists in Nature.
Hitherto production of this material has
been impossible. 1t exists in nature, but
in such minute quantities that its sepa-
ration from ordinary helium is essentially
impossible. It Is produced in the Atomic
Energy Commission piles by the lombard.
ment of the light element, lithiunn.
Study Of this coldest of liquids still is in
its preliminary stages. Strange to say how.
ever, Il seems to show none Of the strange.
inexp,icable properties Of liquefed ordinary
helium. It doesn't flow uphill and it doesn't
creep through walls. 1t Is far less stable
liquid. however, and at only two degrees
above absolute zero has a vapor pressure
IS times greater than liquified ordinary
heliGm.
The new liquid will be of primary inn
portance the commission reports. for the
scientific study of extreme low temperature
phenomena, such as would be expected
throughout a large part Of the universe.
Comparison of the differences in physical
behavior of the two liquids is expected to
throw new light on the relations to the
structure of the nucleus of the atoms to
the properties of the elements.

Prefers Streetcars to Buses

re the Editor Of The Star:
Your news item Future D. c. Plan En-
visions End to Streetcar' FRIDAY, January
2B. is most shocking. So, Washington's
streetcars are to yield to make way for
buses Do away with the streetcars? Never!
Just who wants to ride in discomfort in
the cramped. bumpy. smelly and exhaust
filled buses? Surely. most Of U.s. If not all of
US. much prefer the clean. bright. roomy,
airy and smooth-riding streetcars to the
buses any time. And. even those who do not
rice either of these. but drive private auto
mobiles, express their personal choice Of
streetcars to buses-because, as they say,
they can drive along the street and know the
streetcar will stay in one lane and not
swerve in and out. And. If you think that
buses do not overflow with excessive. obnox-
ious and intolerable gaseous exhaust fumes.
here is the headline Of q news item: "13
Bus Riders Overcome by Engine Fumes"
DECATUR, H.. December %, 1948).
Still another good reason for retention Of
the streetcar service is that Of the common
practice Of reroutins buses with great free
dom. thus leaving patrons without the Gus
tomary convenience Of public transportation.
This practice is very rare on streetcar lines.
I am sure that many folks will agree with
this point Of view.

Downtown Stores PoIIed
On Shopping Night Plan

The Central Business Association
today was preparing missionaries
to be distributed among "all down.
town business establishments" asking
their views on an association pro-
posal that downtown stores remain
open until pm. one night a week
throughout the year.
The suggestion was made last
night at meeting of the group
in the Burlington Hotel. Sidney
Bertram. in offering the motion. said
that trade is being lost to business
men in outlying areas who remain
open later than downtown stores.
At the same time, the association
instructed Walter H. Maloney to
carry suggestion to Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp that private
interests" might finance underground
parking facilities in the downtown
area if the District authorized use
of land, preferably under public
parks.
Clayton Gasque, president of the
association, said after results of the
poll among downtown merchants on
the shopping night" proposal are
disclosed at next months meeting,
conference with all concerned"
would be arranged to discuss details.

CAB Investigates Crash
Fatal TO Z at Brandywine

Civil Aeronautics Board investi-

cargo crash which killed two men
near Brandywine, Md, early yester-
day.
The plane, a DC-3, was en- route
from Florida to New York with a
load Of flowers when it crashed into
the woods about Is miles southeast
OF Washington, broke in two and
caught fire. The forward part
burned.
A witness. Chester Williams, 81,
OF Brandywine, a former Air Force
cadet, saw the plane when it was
ABOUT 900 feet over his home and
reported part of the tail assembly
was either missing or bent up
against the rudder. Investigators
said the part had not been found.
The two victims were Pilot Stuart
Morrill,, of Ridgefield Park, N. j..
and Theodore Katz, of Brooklyn,
N. Y,
