BULLETS PERIL FREEDOM FIGHT, GANDHMWARMS New Ordinances to Curb Terrorism Are Termed 'lnhuman.' BY FRANCIS LOW L'nitfd Pres* Staff Correspondent BOMBAY, Dec. 29.—Indian Nationalists who faced police staves in their last fight for independence aims will lace bullets in their new campaign, Mahatma Gandhi told Indian and European members of ihc India Welfare League here. The Mahatma referred to the new ordinances to combat increasing terrorism, which have resulted in lighting and riots in Bengal and the northwest frontier province.* He called the ordinances “Inhuman and worse than desperate.” Gandhi said he could undertake to eradicate anarchy in Bengal “but on my own terms and not the government's.” He praised Sir Samuel Hoare, secretary of state for India in the British government, as the frankest and most honest of the British cabinet members.

Gandhi Skeptical Gandhi announced, however, that "with a sense of self respect,” he could not promise further co-opera-tion with the Indian government because of the latest ordinances. The Mahatma said he intended to strain every nerve to induce the government to make co-operation possible. The danger spot of the terrorist campaign in Bengal at present is Dacca, an important town on the Dholeswari river, a tributary of the Mother Ganges.” it is described as the most dangerous place for Europeans, officials and civilians alike, in all India. No European asses through the streets without reat risk, although business is be•ng carried on as usual. Guard Against Assaults The situation in Calcutta is almost as bad. Aside from E. Viliicrs, president of the European Association, who was shot and lightly wounded, only government officials have been attacked there. Two of the most daring shootings occurred in the secretariat of the writers’ buildings in the governmental quarter. The strictest precautions against the entry of unauthorized persons are in force here. Most assailants in the Bengal asailts have been young college stuients, the largest class in India ith the exception of the peasants.

ECH GRAD ELECTED TO LITERARY GROUP f uel Wiggam, Northwestern Student, Member of Poetry Circle. Lionel Wiggam, Technical high iool graduate in June, 1931, now i student at Northwestern univerity, recently was elected to membership in the Chicago Poetry Circle. Among members of the organization are Edwin Arlington Robinson, Lew Sarett, Harriett Monroe and Glen Ward Dresback. Wiggam, who was last year’s June magazine editor of the Arsenal Cannon, now is on the staff of the Northwestern Public Parrot. He also is a member of the university’s poetry club, and is a contributor to the college literary magazine. "Reluctant Conclusion,” one of his recent poems, was accepted by laleidoscope, national magazine of verse, for early publication. In the east he has had his poems published in L’Alouttc, the Step Ladder, and the Indiana poetry magazine.

New Wonders of Science Are Revealed to World as Leaders in Research Meet in Annual Conclaves

iCopvrleht. 1931. bv Bclenc Service! WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—A new theory of the formation of the solar system and the earth by the whirling of a great primeval star into two fragments, one the sun and the other Its lost twin,- was presented to science here this morning by Dr. Ross Gunn of the United States naval research laboratory, speaking before the American Astronomical Society. The following consequences are implied: 1. There are thousands of other planetary systems in the universe, | some of which may have life not ; unlike that on the earth. 2. The earth was born of a rather common occurrence in the heavens, not the rare accident of the collision of two stars. 3. The birth of the solar system resulted from a definite, orderly and evolutionary plan, guided largely by electric and magnetic forces.

Supersedes Older Version This new “skyrocket” theory of | the origin of the earth is intended ! to supersede the Sir James JeansDr. Harold Jeffreys version of the planetisimal hypothesis advanced by the late Professor T. C. Chamberlin and Dr. F. R. Moulton, American scientists. This considers that a massive star came so close to the sun that it extracted the planetary system by tidal action. Violet rotation of the mother star caused by thousand-mile-an-hour electromagnetic winds blowing for millions of millions of years in its atmosphere finally resulted, Dr. Gunn concluded, in the splitting of the mother star when it rotated about once in six hours. “The parent sun then broke up into two pieces,” Dr. Gunn explained. “One piece became our present sun and the other piece went skyrocketing off through space toward an unknown destination.” The new theory probably will be called the Gunn skyrocket theory, with skyrocket used in a literal sense. Dr. Gunn explained that one face of each component star was far hotter than the other, and that the hot face lost light energy and momentum much more rapidly than the cool one. This caused the star to shoot off through space, propelled in just the way that the expelled gases of a skyrocket cause it to move. Tells How Planets Formed The planets were formed, Dr. Gunn declared, by the cooling of small portions of the original mother star, which were broken off by the tidal and centrifugal forces at the division. The same forces broke off the satellites, or “moons,” of the planets themselves. Thus the entire solar system was formed in a very few days and at first it was compact in structure. The lost sun carried the new planets quite a distance from our present sun before its influence diminished. Dr. Gunn pointed out that his new theory of the earth’s origin may be reconciled with verses six and seven of the first chapter of Genesis in the King James version of the Bible, but he does not consider this to be of scientific signifi- j cance.

Cyclone ‘Habit’ Revealed

I'U Science Service NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29. Evidence that destructive tides accompanying tropical cyclones always hit the coast line miles to the right of the path of the cyclone was presented here tihs morning, to the American Association for the Advancement of Science by Dr. Isaac Monroe Cline, principal meteorologist of the United States Weather Bureau, New Orleans. Forty-five thousand persons were drowned, said Dr. Cline, by the tide developed by the Calcutta cyclone in the Delta of the Ganges in 1364 and 100,000 people by the Backergunge cyclone in 1876. In the last third of a century the loss of life from drowning by the tides attending tropical cyclones has been large. "During more than a third of a century of service as a forecaster,” said Dr. Cline, “stationed on the coast of the gulf of Mexico, I observed that the storm tide appeared only on the right hand front of the cyclone and the loss of life was small except in those areas where the storm tide was developed.”

Wild Life Preserved

By Science Service NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.—The problem of keeping wild life wild, yet making at least a part of it accessible to great crowds of people for entertainment and education, was discussed here today before a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, by Dr. Harold C. Bryant of the United States National Park Service. The wild life administrator in the National Park Service is confronted with something of a dilemma. Dr. Bryant said. He is charged by the basic national parks laww ith preserving the park areas in their natural, primitive state; yet he must admit and attend to the needs of thousands of visitors. The very presence of human beings removes something of the primitiveness of the parks; the camps, I hotels, stores, roads and other improvements which they require infringe even more. In some of the parks property ! rights antedating the parks have to j oe respected, even to the extent of tolerating grazing animals and the existence of fences. To offset the necessary interfer-

Here there are no roads, not even any more trails than are absolutely necessary; the very locations of these sanctuaries are kept hidden so that curiosityseekers may not hunt them out.

MARGERY WILLIAMS MAKES HIT HERE Charles Berkell and His Stock Company Receive a Fine Welcome When Season Is Opened at Keith's. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN PROBABLY Charles Berkell has never brought a leading woman to Indianapolis wffio met such instant favor because of her ability as Miss Margery Williams received last night in “Rebound.” Miss Williams, as Sara Jeffrey, the girl who gets a husband on the rebound after he was turned down by another girl, is splendid in her comedy scenes, and more than suggested her dramatic ability near the end of the third act. I am sure that I can safely say at this time that Berkell has brought an intelligent and competent acting group of men and women to Keith’s for his winter season of stock.

There was a definite attitude on part of nearly all the players last night, especially so on the part of Miss Williams, Miss Beatrice Leiblee

as Liz Crawford and William Pollard as Johnnie Coles, who finally made Sara understand that she must not beg for love. Miss Williams started off her work in the right tempo of fun and w'ise cracking in the first act. She followed that up with a splendid nervous tempera-

ment when her hubby took a holiday with a former flame in Paris on his honeymoon and she triumphed in the dramatic scenes in the third act. I am going to be interested in watching this woman create other characters at Keith’s. And she has a wardrobe, judging by her gowns last night. Philip Brandon, leading man, does not have the opportunities to show his talents as Miss Williams. That is not his fault. If it is the fault of anybody it is the man who wrote the play. Brandon gave a well studied performance and seemed sure of himself all of the time. The audience remembered Bob Fay and gave him a reception which he will not soon forget. Os course it takes time for a newly organized company to take on that necessary age which makes allround good acting. But there were few weak places in last night’s performance and it was an unusually pleasing performance due to a great extent to the direction of Milton Byron. The cast is as follows: Liz Crawford Beatrice Leiblee Lyman Patterson W. J. Maloney Les Crawford Bob Pay Martha Jesslon Scott Sara Jeffrey Margery Williams Bill Truesdale Philip Brandon Johnnie Coles William Pollard Evie Lawrence Rose Philliber Mrs. Jaffrev. Mother of Liz and Sara.. Margaret O’Brien Pierre James Leßov Jules Jules Durkin Henry Jaffrev. Father of Liz and Sara Milton Byron The two sets were pleasant to the eye. The fact is "Rebound” is a safe buy in the theater as being presented by Berkell at Keith's. Mayor Reginald Sullivan, Louis J. Borinstein, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Charles Berkell were introduced by Byron after the first act. All made short talks. Berkell said that new plays were rather scarce in New York and that he would present as many as possible along with some old time successes. Considering the price of admission, Berkell is giving a mighty good product at Keith’s this week. 000 GOOD COMFORTABLE BILL IS NOW AT LYRIC Taking it all in all, the Lyric this week has a mighty comfortable vaudeville show which includes one of the smartest and best dancing

adapted to this kind of protection are being given over practically in whole to a modified form of this sanctuary reservation. The new Grand Teton national park, south of Yellowstone, is to have no roads built; and no new roads are being built in Glacier. In Yosemite, no roads are to be built north of the Tuolumne. Even in much-traveled Yellowstone, there are large areas, especially in the eastern part of the park, where road-building is not very practicable and where no attempt in this irection is planned.

Cling to Belief in Magic

By Science Service NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.—“ The school has done very little in eradicating magical beliefs from the minds of the common people,” Dr. A. O. Bowden, president of the New Mexico State Teachers’ college, told the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting here this morning. Dr. Bowden found no relation to exist between the amount of schooling a person had had and the extent of his belief in magic and superstition. There was, however, a relationship between the decrease in magical beliefs and the amount of reading done after leaving school. A six-year investigation made by Dr. Bowden indicates that eightysix persons out of every hundred believe that beautiful pictures, fine music and fine home surroundings will in some mysterious way make

revues I have seen in the last ten years. Os the revue, I refer to Jack Colby and Patricia Murry and their three assisting dancers. Colby is an unusual dancer in appearance as well as ability. He opens with Miss Murry in a sort of a ballroom dance demonstration which is perfectly done. Their “follow the leader” dance is nifty and done perfectly by Murry and his partner. So is the individual work of the supporting dancers. Here is a dance revue that has class, speed and talent. Splendid. Would win on any bill. “Scooter” Lowry, the Our Gang favorite of other days, meaning the silent days, is back in person. He tries to live up to the title of being a "tough guy.” He impersonates Chaplin and scores when he dances. Little Pipifax is a clown who specializes in falls. The Wan Wan San Chinese troupe is a splendid company of acrobats and dish jugglers. The work of one man carrying and balancing a number of heavy bowls on his head is a sensation. Reynolds and White give one a surprise at the finish. They start out as musical tramps. Good act and is different. Dalton and Craig have been doing their nutty routine for years and the result is always the same—they stop the show. Even made a curtain talk when I was present. The movie is “The Rainbow Trail.” Now at the Lyric. Other theaters today offer “In a Garden” at the Civic, “Her Majesty, Love” at the Indiana, “Snooky” at the Circle, “Private Lives” at the Palace, "Delicious” at the Apollo and “Touchdown” at the Ohio. Neighborhood theaters tonight offer "Arizona” and "Stolen Heaven” at the Mecca, “The Sin of Madelon Claudet” at the Emerson, The Spider” at the Princess, “Three Faces East” at the Tacoma, “The Night Nurse” at the Garfield, “Twenty-four Hours” at the Hamilton, ‘Smart Woman” at the Orpheum, “Heart Break” at the Belmont, "The Rider of the Purple Sage” at the Roosevelt, “Sob Sister” at the Tuxedo and at the Talbott and "Friends and Lovers” at the Irving. 0 0 TRIANGLE CLUB IS AT THE MURAT TONIGHT For the Princeton Triangle Club production, "Spanish Blades,” there are in the cast and orchestra seventy-five students. This includes a chorus that has been coached by Ted Shawn and taught several “precision” dance numbers. The production carries out the ideas, in both costumes and scenic effects, of a small village in Spain. Life, music and action abound and the play is said to be one of the brightest and fastest yet produced by Princeton students. “Spanish Blades” comes to Indianapolis tonight for one performance only. After the play there will be a supper dance held in the banquet hall of Murat Temple.

Insulin Is One of Proteins

ff.y Science Service NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 29. Insulin, widely used in treatment of diabetes, merely is another member of the group of proteins, one of the fundamental group of foods, Dr. H. T. Clarke of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia university, told the fourth organic symposium of the American Chemical Society here this morning. The insulin molecule, said Dr. Clarke, seems to be made up of two of the units present in relatively small quantities in many other proteins, such as wheat glutenin or the casein of milk. The special properties of insulin which make it so important to diabetic sufferers depend not on any unusual component, but on the way the common amino-acid units, tyrosine and cystine, are arranged in the structure. These conclusions have been reached by Professor Karl Freudenberg and his school of researchers at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Dr. Clarke’s address outlined for his fellow chemists the recent breath-taking advances in biochemistry. Great progress W'as reported in the tracking down of the constitution of the various vitamins, one or two of which have been prepared nearly pure. Similar success is crowning the efforts to prepare in crystalline form the socalled “digestive enzymes,” substances •which make possible the chemical transformations of food substances for absorption into the body. Other -advances reported included chemical tests for pregnancy and the chemical mechanism of muscular action.

Weather Secrets Bared

E.y Science Service NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29. Weather predictions good for a month are made possible by the fact that abnormal weather during mid-winter and mid-summer often persists over periods of sixty days or more. Forecasts based on this discovery turn out true over 80 per cent of the time, in certain cases, Charles D. Reed of the United States Weather Bureau, Des Moines, told the American Meteorological Society at its session here today. ‘The greater the abnormality, the more certain the sequence,” said Mr. Reed. “A hot June will be followed by a dry July nearly 100 per cent of the time in the Mississippi Valley, which is important to corn and cotton. “After a cold January, nine degrees or more colder than normal, fuel supplies should be kept flowing into lowa, for, in eight of nine cases, or 89 per cent, the following February is also cold. “Cold Januarys show marked tendencies to be followed by cold Februarys from the upper Mississippi valley east over the Great Lakes, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania; also in the Pacific states, Bermuda and Manila.”

Old Migrations Traced

Ey Science Service TULSA, Okla., Dec. 29. —Migrations of land animals and plants from continent to continent in ancient geological times probably proceeded over narrow isthmuses like the present Isthmus of Panama, rather than the broader land bridges which geologists have tried to trace. This thesis was advanced by Professor Bailey Willis of Stanford university, speaking before the Geological Society of America, in session here today. Narrow ridges, either submerged or appearing above the surface as dry land, are to be found in the neighborhood of most great oceanic “deeps,” Professor Willis pointed out. They appear to owe their existence to thrust forces in the earth’s crust, radiating outward from the centers of such deeps; as the Caribbean deep has surrounded itself with

a chain of islands on the Atlantic side, and the Isthmus of Panama on the Pacific margin. Geology, the study of the earth, is among the newer of the natural sciences, and its name is older than itself. The name “geology” once was applied to the study of human laws. Professor Frank D. Adams of McGill university, Montreal, told his fellow-geologists. Professor Adams found the word so used in an old work called “Philobiblon, or the Love of Books,” written by de Bury, bishop of Durham, and first printed in Cologne in 1473.

Lizards Save Even Breath

Ry Science Service NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.—Hard winters never bother Texas horned lizards. Like a lot of other animals, they sleep right through them, thus saving a lot of hustling for food, and now it has been discovered that they economize even on breath to the extent of 95 per cent. At the meeting of the American Society of Zoologists here today, Dr. George E. Potter and H. Bentley Glass of Baylor university, reported the outcome of these observations on the respiration of hibernating horned lizards kept in closed glass vessels where their breath could be measured. They found that their oxygen intake dropped off to about 5 per cent of the normal summer figure, and that the carbon dioxide given off was only about 6 per cent of what it was while the animals were active.

Corrects Corn Planting

Bv Science Service NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.—The present system of planting com in hills about three feet apart, with two or more seeds to the hill, is not the best for maximum production per acre. Such is the indication of experiments reported here today by Dr. George H. Dungan of the University of Illinois, speaking before the meeting of the American Society of Plant Physiologists. Dr. Dungan tried raising the same number of stalks to the acre customary under present practice, but spacing them evenly instead of bunching them in hills. He found that the yield was improved in several respects: More stover, greater grain yield at the thinner rates of planting, greater uniformity of plant size and weight of ear. There was also indication that the individually spaced plants matured earlier.

by heat does not kill the botulinus germ if it was present in the food originally, Dr. Lawrence H. James of the United States bureau of chemistry and soils reported to the Society of American Bacteriologists here this morning. However, there is no danger of botulinus poisoning if the frozen food is defrosted, cooked and used immediately when received from the store, Dr. James reassured housewives. Dr. James subjected the spores of the botulinus bacillus to the same degree of freezing that is used in commercial cold storage methods. He found that the number of these spores, from which new botulinus germs could develop, was not reduced at all by the cold temperatures, regardless of the length of time the temperatures were maintained. On the other hand no poison had developed from the spores during freezing.

PRESS DEMAND FRANCO-BRITISH STANDON DEBT Laval Will Wait Untit Present Conference Is Over. By United Press PARIS, Dec. 29.—The French press continued its demand today that Premier Pierre Laval confer with Prime Minister Rarnsay MacDonald to “counteract the Washington stand” against war debts and reparations cancellation. The premier denied that he intended to go to London soon. It was learned that he would be ready to accept the ‘invitation of MacDonald for a discussion of general problems as soon as' Franco-British experts have concluded their present conversations on reparations and debts. MacDonald expressed the desire in a recent letter to Laval that the French and British governments reach an accord on the principle of reparations before the coming in-, ternational conference at the Hague, expected to meet Jan. 18. South Once Defaulted By United Press LONDON, Dec. 29.—The Daily Express, independent organ published by Lord Beaverbrook, today reminded southern states of the United States that they had defaulted in their debt to Britain while congress was demanding no reduction in the foreign debt schedule. “Many of the American congressman who have fought the Hoover war debt moratorium are representatives of those southern states which defaulted during the last century on their debts owing in the most part to British subjects,” the Express said. “Their slogan at Washington has been ‘no extension of time.’ ‘‘That’s a good slogan to take back to Alabama, the Carolinas and five other states whose debt repudiation has lasted since 1842 and is now estimated at sixty-seven million pounds sterling.”
