Impossible Solution Offered
On New Einstein Theory

/ DR.. Einstein, when he proposed
his unified field theory three
years ago, said. II cannot believe
that God plays dice with the
cosmos"
DR.. Einstein said the mathe-
matical equations of his new
theory were groupings in the
dark" He had no solution for
them himself, and the Austrian
Scientist Schrodinger said the
solutions would be next to I'M
possible"
Prof. Hlavaty, who began ap-
plying his mathematics to ply
sizes problems only three years
ago, arrived at his solutions with
equations involving 81 unknown
quantities. A colleague said the
problems were so involved they
were far beyond the capacity of
mechanical brain machines.
Both DR.. Einstein and DR..
Schrodinger have commended

/ Prof. Hlavaty on his accomplish
ment.
Prof. Hlavaty considers his
mathematical work on the cos
mic theories unfinished. He said
further work needs to be done
before his solutions could be
compared with the results OF
physics experiments and he
added:
"The crucial experiment has
yet to be devised"
Prof. Hlavaty believes his work
on the Einstein equations points
the way for mathematicians to
reconcile DR.. Einstein's law-and-
order theory with the atomic
scientists theory of happen
stance.

catch, tabulated mainly from
taxes paid by watermen and
packers.
The total exceeded last years
catch by more than 100000
bushels. 1t was the heaviest

US. and Canadian Ships To Resupply Weather Groups In Arctic

WASHINGTON, R- US. and Canadian ships, with aircraft to aid them, will fight their way thru ice fields this summer to take supplies to isolated weather sta tions on the frozen rim of the Canadian Arctic.
 The Navy announced today that five US. ships, including three icebreakers, would leave in mid July on the annual expedition to resupply the stations operated jointly by Canada and the United States.
 Planes of the RCAF and USAF will help guide the ships through ice fields and carry mail and high priority repair parts for the ex- petition.
 The three weather stations are among the farthest north of any spot where men live the year around-Alert and Burke on FL lesmere Island, west of Green land, and Resolute, on Cornwallis Island. Even with the use of pow erful icebreakers, the stations can be reached by sea only during few weeks of each year. At other times, emergency resupply is done by air.

Rhee Proposes Four-Point Pact with US In Exchange For OK of Truce Terms

WASHINGTON, R-President Syngman Rhee reportedly has proposed that President Eisen- hover sign four-point agree ment pledging a mutual defense pact and future military and fin ancial help to South Korea if the Seoul government is to drop its opposition to the United Nations truce terms.
 Rhee's attitude - and what reply should be made to his pro- position-presumably was up for discussion at special meeting of the National Security Council call ed at the White House.
 An authoritative informant said the South Korean president sub mited his program in a message sent to Eisenhower through Am erican ambassador Ellis Briggs in Seoul.

Humphrey Backs Eisenhower On
 Excess Profits Tax

WASHINGTON, lR Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey told dubious House committee today that failure to extend the excess profits tax on business would be an unsafe gamble with national economic security"
 Humphrey went to bat for Presi- dent Eisenhower's tax proposal before the House Ways and Means Committee. The President has urged a six-months extension of the business profits tax beyond June 30, it's present expiration date.
 The committee has voiced strong opposition in the past to the ex- tension, and Humphrey picked common ground to declare at the start that 'I dislike the excess profits tax and I think it is a bad tax"
 But, he said, "The danger of an atomic Pearl Harbor is real the country must be kept safe from aggression from abroad. And further imitation must be stopped and the dollar must be kept sound to provide a solid base for a healthy economy.
 Military security and economic security are the chief responsi- bilities of the nation. They must take precedence over everything else"
 Humphrey struck hard on theme that is expected to appeal to many lawmakers: that under present laws individuals will not get income tax relief until next year. A 10 per cent personal in come tax cut becomes effective automatically Jan. 1.
 ''In the present situation" Hum phrey said, Tt does not seem fair to let the first reduction benefit only a relatively small group of corporations at least six months ahead of any relief for any other taxpayers

 This great city bubbled with excitement in anticipation of the great day. The spirit of festivity swept into Buckingham Palace, where Elizabeth's son, young Prince Charles, played peek-a-boo with the crowds gathered outside. The four-year-old kept popping his head up in a palace window, to the crowds shouted delight.
 The weatherman predicted for tomorrow a cool day marked by occasional showers, possible hail and thunder. Chill winds blew today but they failed to check the carnival enthusiasm of the throngs outside both, the palace and Westminster Abbey.

Men From Many
 Walks of Life Pay Tribute to DinOnd
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

-ASSONAEHANN
 Tributes to Judge Anthony J. Dimond came from men in many walks of life over the weekend from cities as far apart as Nome and Washington, DC.
 The long prominent Federal judge and former congressional delegate died at age 72 in An chorage Thursday night.
 Alaska has suffered great loss," said Gov. Frank Heintzle- man at Juneau. ''I have known Tony Dimond for many years as a territorial legislator, a dele gate in Congress and Federal judge, and all through the years he has given unstintingly of his time and energy toward building of a better Alaska"
 Bishop Dermot O'Flanagan com mented at Juneau: ''The death of Tony Dimond marks the passing of one more of that now too small band of outstanding men who are products of the great open spaces of the mines and the trail. Tony Dimond knew Alaska as well as any man living; he was part of the working force that has given it life. At the root of all his splendid integrity was his deep religious conviction. He lived his religion in private and in public. True to himself, he could not be false to any man."
 Bishop O'Flanagan was called to Anchorage from Juneau to pre- side at the funeral mass at g am.
 In Washington, E. L. Bartlett, who succeeded Dimond as con- gressional delegate said his death removes from the Alaskan scene one who will always occupy a distinguished place in the history of the north.'
 The delegate spoke of his per sonal relationship with Dimond:
 For me there is a deep sense of personal grief in his passing, shared in by Mrs. Bartlett. Judge and Mrs. Dimond were our we'd ding attendants. I served as his secretary when he first came to Washington.
 ''No man ever lived for whom I had more respect and affection"
 At Nome, US. District Judge Cooper said: ''I feel Alaska has lost it's No. 1 citizen and the entire territory will keenly feel his pass ing. He had friends everywhere. Dimond was humane and just and an astute student of law. He was honored and respected by the entire profession"
 Judge Cooper is leaving Nome today to attend the funeral at An chorage.

Governors of the World Bank
voted today to suspend Red
Czechoslovakia from member
ship at the end of this year
unless she pays the $625, 900 she
still owes in capital subscription
funds.
The governors, representing
the SIS member nations, accepted
in closed session the recon-
mendation of the banks Com
mittee on Finance and Organ
ization that the suspension take
effect December 81.
Expulsion would follow a year
later if CzechoSlovakia still fails
to meet the banks requirements.
Last Red Bloc Member.
Czechoslovakia is the last of
the Soviet bloc nations still be-
longing to the bank and the In
ternational Monetary Fund.
Czechoslovakia was in trouble
with the fund, too, but straight
ened this matter out during the
week.
Czechoslovakia has refused to
pay Immediately $625 900 of her
fund subscription, contending
she should be given time until
she gets back all her gold re-
serves seized by the Nazis during
the war. The bank governors
ruled that Czechoslovakia was
entitled to an exemption only
up to 1851.
