TEXTILE PROBE BY SENATE IS TERMED URGENT Latest Clash in South Reveals Necessity of Investigation. Jin ScriT>T)>-Jfoiror4 .VetMtoorr Alliance WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.—Although its need is becoming more and more imperative in his opinion, Senator LaFollette said today there is no hope of getting a senatorial investigation of the textile industry until the tariff bill is out of the way. “The Wheeler resolution, providing for an investigation, can not displace the tariff bill, as the unfinished business of the and opposition to the inquiry is too great to permit its adoption during the handling of general legislation in a morning hour period,” LaFollette said. “I am sorry that nothing can be done, but my hands are tied completely.” LaFollette is chairman of the Senate manufacturers committee | which reported favorably the Wheeler resolution, although amended to j provide that the federal trade and tariff commissions conduct the in- I

FORECAST TRIP TO MOON WITH ROCKETPLANE Scientists Say Successful Flight Reveals Its Potential Uses. BERLIN, Oct. 4.—Voyages through space, from the earth to the moon, or to other planets, are forecast by the recent successful demonstration of a rocket-propelled airplane. In May, 1928, Fritz von Open, German automobile manufacturer, demonstrated his rocket automobile. Now, after further experiments, he has built an airplane, propelled by the same means, and shown that it is capable of flight. Interesting as the method is, there is little likelihood that it ever will become a serious competitor of combustion engines in terrestrial vehicles, or airplanes for use in the lower portions of the atmosphere. The rocket depends for its propulsion on the kick given by the explosion. It uses Its fuel, whether gasoline, hydrogen and oxygen, or explosives, very rapidly, but only a small amount of the fuel’s total energy is available to furnish the necessary j “kick.” Efficiency is Low In other words, the rocket has a low efficiency. Where the same fuel can be used to apply energy to the ground, as in the automobile, or to the air, as with the airplanes, It is better to use the wheel or propeller to obtain traction. In getting through space between the planets, containing less air than in the vacuum of an incandescent lamp, however, the situation is very different. There no air, ground or water is available against which to push and the rocket is the only known means of propulsion. The kick of an explosion Is just as powerful in a vacuum as in the air, for the push is against the gases formed by the explosion. In fact, in a vacuum, the rocket would tend to travel somewhat faster, because of the lack of atmospheric resistance. American Started Tests The theoretical investigations upon the practical uses of the rocket were begun by Professor R. H. God-
