it's a nice fresh one just out

Battery manufacturers have
found that if batteries are

result is that battery makers
who formerly reduced their pro-

months now are evening out
their operations throughout the

This is one of the develop

Mines Bureau Choice
Assai|ed by Lewis
By the Assoeiutad Press

John L. Lewis says Secretary
of the Interior McKay's plan to
place Tom Lyon of Salt Lake
City at the head of the Bureau
of Mines is "a diabolical outrage
and political crime against the
whole mining population.
Mr.. Lewis conferred with Mr..
Mckay yesterday and later told
neWsmen he had voiced aston
ishment at the Secretary of
Interior wanting human blood of
coal miners on his hands as may
come from having the bureau
headed by a comparative igno-
ramus."
Mr.. Mckay commented: II
am just as much interested in
humanity and the welfare of the
miners as John L. Lewis"
A month ago Secretary Mckay
said he had recommended Mr..
Lyon to the White House. Mr..
Lewis contends Mr.. Lyon, a
geologiSt with metal mining
experience, knows nothing of
coal mining and that SO per cent
of all miners are coal miners.

ent Mines Bureau head, is fully

Judge Curran Urges
Psychiatric Clinic
To Advise Courts

District Court Judge Edward
M. Curran last night called for
a psychiatric clinic to advise the
courts.
This is as necessary in the
treatment of crime as diagnosis
is to the treatment of disease,
the jurist told the George Martin
Kober Society. The medical
group met in the Army & Navy
Club.
Judge Curran asked for "seri-
Gus consideration of some
method whereby an individual
would not be deprived of his lib
erty until the court passing sem
tence had advantage of all avail
able information about him."
Sentencing should be based on
the recommendations of a tri-
bunal of sociologists, physicians,
psychologists and psychiatrists.
Judge Curran said.
"A judge may be highly quail
fed to preside at a trial." he
commented, but it does not fol-
low that he is necessarily fitted,
acting alone, for the special task
of determining the treatment
best suited to the various types
of offenSeS.

BY the Assoeicted Press

LOS ANGELES, May 49,

says he crossed $502,891 last

esCranged mates demand for
$13,O91 a month pending trial of

His wife, Esperanza Bauer, 80,
former actress in Mexican films,
claims that's, how much she and
Wayne have spent, on the aver
age, every month of their six
year marriage.
Says $500 Is Enough.
But Mr.. Wayne declared yes
terday his net was only $50, 1866
last year and Mrs. Wayne should
be able to get along on 5000

Mr.. Wayne testified calmly
for the most part, crinkling his
forehead thoughtfully as his
wife's lawyer questioned him
about contracts, travel expenses,
loans, medical expenses, rent, etc.
But he showed resentment
when he doomed at the LAWYER.
"You say you're suspicious of my

mind of good priest of the Church of
ST. Nicola in the Tyrolean Alps as he
came down from sick call in the foot

was closing in over the trail, but these
words must be sung that night. The
humble schoolmaster in the nearby
town of Armsdorf, temporary organist,
cantor and sexton at st. Nicola. would
compose the music and be ready for
the midnight service.
The beautiful song has since encir-
cled the world. But what of the young

The approaching ChriStmaS-NeW
Years period is time of foreboding for
those of us concerned with highway
traffic and safety. Last year during the
double celebrations 962 persons were
killed and more than 81 900 others were
injured in highway accidents In fact
the tragic results of our annual "alcc-
holidays" have become almost synony
nous with Yuletime.
The American Association of Motor
Vehicle Administrators has been urging
for several years certain simple precau-
tions that have curtailed after-party
accidents where practiced.
Because coffee is medically authen-
ticated antidote for alcohol we sug
gest that it be served as the final drink
of every holiday party-the lone for
the road" We do not claim that a>cup
of coffee will instantly make an unfit
driver completely sober but we do hold
that if his last drink is coffee instead
of something stronger that drivers
chances for safe trip home will be
improved. Tests conducted at Cornell
University have proved that coffee
taken after drinking reduces the num-
ber of errors made because of inso-

way accidents, it would appear that
serving coffee can be nothing but bene-
fetal. Furthermore, the device brings
to the attention of guests in dramatic
fashion the need for caution at the
psychologically important moment OF
departure.
The considerate host or hostess will
go step further. Where a guest is
obviously unfit to drive, it is moral
if not legal obligation of the host to
prevent that guest from getting behind
the wheel of his car Most of the holi-
day tragedy on the highways has been
the harvest of drunken driving and
would not have occurred if hosts had
insisted that unfit drivers leave their

Dr., Robert A. MiIIikon

One of the leading scientific workers of his
time and yet perhaps not strictly scientist at
all, DR.. Robert Andrews Milikan is dead at 85.
What his position in the history of human
progress eventually may be is beyond the power
Of his contemporaries to decide. His Importance
to them. of course is conceded. The problem
in which his ultimate standing is involved is
that of the nature Of the universe He was one
of a small group OF thinkers who have argued
that the cosmos constantly is being replenished
Opposed to him and his followers is the school
which holds that the cosmos gradually is being
destroyed actually is disposing of its own exist
ence by its own destructive activity.
To understand DR.. Milikans attitude it is
necessary to remember the background from
which he came and the accident which made
him physicist rather than teacher of Greek.
