Single Dafe Proposed
by States Council for
Presidential Primaries
By me Associated Press

CHICAGO. Dec. 4.-The Coun-
ell of State Governments today
suggested that presidential prima-
ries in the States be held on the
same date.
Such primaries now are
stretched out. State by State
from March through June.
The council passed along this
idea to State lawmakers:
It would be highly desirable
for the States to Ak indentical
dates for presidential primaries,
preferably a date within about a
month of the national conven-
tionS.
This would avoid the present
unduly long period of the pre-
convention campaign and would
encourage all leading candidates
to enter the primaries of all States
instead of a few"
10 Allow Direct Action.
The council said only 10 States
now give their citizens a chance
to take a direct hand in selecting
the presidential nominees.
Under one method, the citizens
can express preference for the
nomination by voting in a pref
erential primary. Under the other
the citizens vote for delegates to
the national convention of their
parties.
The council said present pri-
mary laws have been criticized
because of variations in dates and
provisions. Results in some States
are binding on convention dele
gates. for instance, but not in
others.
But it also said:
There is little sentiment today
for Nationwide presidential
primary whose results would be
final. displacing the national con-
ventions."
Uniformity Urged.
A more likely course, it added,
would be to:
Keep presidential primary laws
on the books of the States which
have them. and try to correct de-
fects and bring about uniformity.
Give the other States time to
adopt some form of presidential

California Fish Problem
Luid to Lock of Food
By the Associated Press

SAN PEDRO, Calf HI. ]. Kim
merle, who has studied marine life
for 4 years, believes he has the
answer to the diminishing supply
Iof fish along the Southern Cali
fornia coast.
He said there just isn't enough
microscopic plant and animal life
in the water to feed small fish,
which, in turn, attract larger
varieties.
Mr.. Kimmerle explained that
recent dry spells and construc-
ton of flood control dams keep
decaying plant and animal mat
ter from being swept into the
ocean.
He believes organic matter
could be spread over the fishing
banks to increase commercial and
sport fishing catches.

RADIOACTIVE minerals are
widely dispersed. Like gold, they
are hard to find in high enough
concentrations to make their re-
covery profitable.
In 1898, Becquerel made the
first observation of radioactivity.
His father and his grandfather
before him were physicists in
search of the secrets of Nature.
At this time an intensive study
was being made on phosphore-
scence, or the property of some
materials to continue to emit
light after exposure to an or
binary source of light.
Becquerel examined many ma
terials and by chance tried pitch
blend, which was later found to
contain radium. He observed that
pitchblend gave off light to fog a
Photographic plate withing being
exposed to light. Furthermore,
the strange new light would even
effect the Photographic plate in
its holder.
To test this characteristic fully,
he cut out figures of copper plate
and placed them between the
plate and placed them between
the plate holder and the pitch
blend. Images of the copper fig
ures were found on the photo
graphic plate. The thicker metal
had shielded the light which was
always shining, and had powerful
penetration.
"A duplicate experiment has
been performed using a key to
obstruct the radio active rays
that effect Photographic plate.
The ore used was a radioactive
mineral fergusonite, from the
Sappington ranch, at Sappington,
Montana.
Following the first observation
Of radioactivity of B ecquerel
Madam Curie did the work on
the discovery and isolation of
radium, the most active element.
We have learned how to treat
cancer with this strange form Of
energy, and the whole world
wonders where the atom bomb
will explode next. The indica-
tons are that a knowledge Of
atomic energy may make as great
changes in human affairs as did
the discovery Of fire.
