Poll of Committee Show 43 of48 States Against Reor-

ganization Move

Washington, Dee. 21.—(j<P)—A move*ment to force Henry P. Fletcher outof the chairmanship of the Republi-can national committee ran into astone wall Friday when it becameknown that a poll of the committeeshowed 43 of the 48 states’ represent-atives against the reorganizationmove.

A concession of defeat in this move-ment for what Benator Borah andothers call “liberalization’*of the par-ty’s high command came from a lead-er in the attempt, Senator Nye ofNorth Dakota. He said “nothing canbe done to liberalize the national com-mittee until 1938.”

To force a meeting of the nationalcommittee for the purpose. 18 statesmust be represented on a petition. Inview of the poll’s results, observerssaw little chance that Fletcher’s cri-tics could force him out before 1936.

The canvass was conducted by someof the committee members and allbut five states—Minnesota, Montana,Idaho and the two Dakotas—had beenheard from Thursday night.

The members conducting tbe can-vass were said to believe that notmore than two of these states wouldfavor an immediate reorganization.Hence the lineup would be 48 to 2.

Court Rules $31,000Preferred Mill Claim

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 21.—(flV-A memorandum opinion of the fed-eral district court in Fargo Thursdayheld the receiver of the old First Na-tional Bank of Grand Forks liablefor immediate payment of. approxi-mately $31,000 to the North Dakotastate mill and elevator as a preferredclaim on its deposits in the closedbank.

H. A. Bronson, counsel for the mill,was advised of the opinion by JudgeAndrew Miller at Fargo.

The action began in June, 1933,against W. H. Schulze as conserva-tor. It was contended that the mill’sdeposits of $92,246.48 when the bankclosed March 4, 1933, constituted atrust fund and was a preferred claim.The mill claimed the money was de-posited illegally.

Judge Miller found that $62,100.46of the deposits were subject to thetrust and that, of the balance, themill only had a claim as a generalcreditor of the bank. Since 50 percent of the $62,000 was paid alongwith half of all depositors, claimsagainst the bank, the ruling gave themill a $31,060 preferred claim.

By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE(Associated Press Science Editor)

New York, Dec. 21. —To Mme.Curie’s daughter, Irene Joliot-Curle,and her young husband goes the palmfor 1934 scientific discovery—for find-ing something more astounding thanthe elder Curies’ discovery of radiumitself.

The public, which has heard vague-ly of this discovery under the prosaicname of artificial radio-activity, doesnot realize that It means 99 per centof the earth and all things in it aredifferent from anything man evendreamed before 1934.

Artificial radioactivity Is the con-version of ordinary inert or stablechemical substances. Into somethingdifferent, into materials which giveoff powerful rays of several kinds. Itis Obtained by use of high-power raysthat strike the nuclei of atoms.

99 Per Cent of YonThe nuclei themselves change.

These nuclei are 99 per cent of allmass. Ninety-nine per cent, that is,of you, of your homes, your posses-sions and of the most distant stars.Thousands of years ago philosoph-ers dreamed that there must be someunseen power in the universe whichcould by a touch change the natureand the substance of everything.

But the young Curies have discov-ered that man himself has this power.More—they have put the power intohis hands, and the great experimentis on in many laboratories.

Linked with the details of the dis-covery is the story, now told for per-haps the first time outside scientificcircles, of how the young Curiescaught the scientific ship of fameafter twice just missing the boat.

Their laboratory was one of the firstplaces where strange things began toappear when the light metal beryl-lium was bombarded with powerfulradiation. There was a scintillationwhich nobody understood. The Curiessaw it but failed to realise its signi-ficance.

Ultimate Particles mt MatterChadwick, in England, recognised

the scintillation as neutrons, .ultimateparticles of matter never beforeknown.

Again a little later, the Curies whilewatching the trails drawn like sky-writing smoke by electrons divingthrough the vapor of a cloud cham-ber, saw some tracks curving in thewrong direction.

These tracks were in a magneticfield, in which electrons could notcurve in the direction seen. TheCuries suspected they were made bysome hitherto unknown kind of par-ticle. They wrote one of the foremostscientists asking him whether thesestrange trails could possibly bo madeby some foolish-sounding things pre-dicted by &~ theory of a .brilliantyoung Englishman, P. A. M. Dirac.

The theory said there would be“holes” in electrons, or "anti-elec-trons." The scientist replied it wasjust a theory—not practicable.

of Matter

So the Cories remained pussled.Meanwhile Anderson, the American,discovered that the trails were madeby positive bits of electricity—newparticles of matter. Again the Curieshad missed.

Probing the After-EffectBut all this work was in the same

unknown world the peculiar be-havior of nuclei of atoms. In theCuries’ laboratory and in most of theother great laboratories there was an-other strange thing, that everyone hadseen and nobody thought much about.

After ordinary substances had beenbombarded by radium rays, or otherextra-powerful rays, there was an“after-effect.” The stuff bombardedcontinued for a short time to give offradiation. It was thought that“things just didn’t settle down atonce.” •

For Suffering Humanity

It was the Curies who first dis-covered why, and that was the great-est discovery of all three. Thesebombarded substances were no longerthe same things which the scientistshad placed under the high-powerrays.

is atomic, that is, too small in mostcases to bs seen directly, and toosmall, except for the possibility ofcancer treatment, to be of practical

use yetTwice at least this year the dis-

coveries have led to scientificguesses that the story of the originsof the earth will have to bs re-written.

Instead of the earth continuallygrowing older and colder, it may bethat the radiation from the outside,like the cosmic rays, are continuallycreating new supplies of the materialsubstances forming the earth’s crust

With their new, high-power tubes,the scientists seem to be creating the“machines” with which man may takea hand in shaping this recreation ofthe elements of his planet

Mrs. Stanley GanssleOf St. Thomas Dies

St. Thomas, N. D„ Dee. 21.—(ff)—Mrs. Stanley Ganssle, 41, resident heresince 1917, died Thursday afternoon.

Funeral services will be in theMethodist church here Saturday

The atomic nuclei had changed;that it, a considerable part of thesubstance had completely altered itsnature, had become something else.The “after effect” rays were thesenewly created substances disinte-grating like radium.

Already half the substances inexistence have been bombarded andhave changed into something dif-ferent. Uranium, the heaviest of all,yielded when Fermi, the Italian,rayed it with neutron beams. Coldlikewise changed.

The Curies, with humanity’s suf-fering in mind, concentrated upontrying to produce artificial radiumwhich they hoped may be more usefulthan real radium.' They have namedit radiophosphate.

Radium is too dangerous to takeinside the body except in needles orseeds which can be removed, for itssearing rays continue nnihatod forhundreds of years.

The artificial radium disintegratesrapidly. At the longest so far it lastsonly a few days.

Some of the changes are surpris-ing. At the University of CaliforniaDr. E. O. Lawrence bombarded thesodium of table salt and it changedinto a different kind of sodium, giv-ing off rays mors powerful thanradium itself. But after disintegrat-ing this new sodium did not changeback into ordinary sodium.

It became magnesium, quite a dif-ferent chemical That is like sayingyou may take some common tablesalt, which will Change into radium,and after a short time will changein your body to the magnesium fa-miliarto you in citrate of magnesia.
