NEW MOOE OF THOUGHT URGED ON SCIENTISTS

Theory Advanced at Parley Junks Laws Respected for Centuries. BY WATSON DAMS Director Science Service PITTSBURGH, Dec. 28— A demand for anew mode of thinking that junks our most fundamental laws of thought just as Prof. Albert Einstein with relativity disarranged the old-fashioned law’s of time and motion, was made to the American Association for the Advancement of Science here this morning. Preceding the heralded lecture by Prof. Einstein late this afternoon, this non-Aristotelian method of thought traces its origin in part back to Einstein’s relativity. As expounded by Prof. Oliver L. Reiser, University of Pittsburgh philosopher, the new thinking blasts the idea that “a thing is what is” or that it is identical with itself in all respects. For example, you are not the same you that existed a second ago or a year ago. An apple or a plant or human being is constantly changing with time and it is therefore different second by second. Idea Is Upsetting Since the attacked law of identity is the most fundamental of the three traditional law’s of thought in the heretofore hallowed logic of Aristotle, this new idea is upsetting. The new mode of thinking may be more far reaching than ever Einstein’s relativity. It may, Prof. Reiser suggested. answer the demand for practical readjustments in the social order and it may create a revolution in the very theory of science. It may cure the insane who suffer from delusions. It may in time affect our every day thinking. It may be the mode of thought of the man in the street, Dutch Are Pioneers Not easily won will be these possible revisions. Some look with skepticism upon the new idet Non-aristotelian logic, as it is calle. arose out of the new discoveries i physics, the idea of evolution an., mathematics. The pioneers are the Dutch Mathematician L. E. J. Brouwer, the Polish Investigators Lukasiewicz and Tarski, Count Alfred Korzybski, and Prof. C. I. Lewis of Harvard. Prof. E. T. Bell, California Institute of Technology mathematician has espoused the cause claiming that Aristotle handcuffed human thought, Count Korzybski is its leading expositor. “It is hoped that this new intellectual revolution,” Prof* Reiser said, “will free human thinking from its limitations and remove the underlying causes of mental and social maladjustments. The next big development in the mental evolution of the race is already upon the scene and we will undoubtedly hear much of it in the years to come.” EAR LAP COVERS ARE FAD AT WELLESLEY Girls Spend Spare Time Knitting Old-Fashioned Protectors. By United Pres* WELLESLEY, Mass., Dec. 28. Winter won't find the Wellesley College girls unprepared. The latest fad here is knitting ear lap covers.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LIQUOR TAX CUT IS FAVORED BY M’NUTTFORCES Fry Urges Legislature to Order $1 -a-Gallon Levy. Legislation providing for a maximum tax of $1 a gallon on hard liquors will be presented to the 1935 Legislature with Administration approval, Paul Fry, State Excise Director, has announced. Fry also said the Administration is definitely aligned against legislation establishing state liquor stores. "After a careful investigation of liquor laws and the results of repeal in other states and Canada, the Excise Department is convinced that we can drive out bootleggers, not by establishing state liquor stores, but by reducing the tax,” Mr. Fry said. Mr, Fry indicated that carton taxes under consideration are 15 cents on pints and 25 cents on quarts. In explaining the Administration’s objection to state liquor stores he said, "We do not want the state to go into private business. "Business is for individuals and we want to see individuals reap the profits. It is our plan to make the dealers’ license fees and bonds high enough to keep the liquor business on a high plane, but at the same time distribute the profits to as many persons as possible.” Fry said the actual work of drafting the Administration’s new bill will not be started until the legisla-

tive committees are appointed and hearings can be held. He indicated that the liquor law would be one of the last pieces of legislation to go before the Legislature. "There is no question but that many changes are needed in our present setup and we expect to hear from all iitterests before a bill is drafted for presentation to the Legislature.” the Excise Director said. He did not indicate whether the beer, wholesaler and importer system would be continued. “Few changes will be made in the beer and wine setup. The importer and wholesaler plans have worked to the advantage of all concerned.” The only other major change in the hard liquor law is expected to be legalization of the by-the-drink sales. Only restaurants of the better class, hotels and night clubs are to be licensed for by-the-drink sales, it has been indicated. NRA OFFICIAL GATHERS AUTO INDUSTRY DATA Means of Stabilizing Employment Sought in Inquiry Here. Recommendations of individuals and labor organizations as to means of improving labor conditions and stabilizing employment in the automobile industry, torn by industrial strife in the last two years, notably in the sensational Detroit and Toledo strikes, were received here yesterday by Harry Weiss, Washington, NRA headquarters employe. Mr. Weiss, who made state NRA headquarters his office here, said the suggestions were received in confidence for inclusion in a report which he will make for President Roosevelt prior to the expiration of the automobile industry code Feb. 1. He plans a conference at South Bend Wednesday similar to yesterday's here.

of fair competition- in any future setup of the NRA. The business men, it was announced, favor continuation of the NRA by the 74th Congress to replace the old NRA which expires June 16, 1935. They asked “complete revision” of labor clauses and provisions as to minimum prices. Other things they favored included limitation of NRA legislation to businesses engaged in or affecting interstate commerce and making the Government's agency a board or tribunal appointed by the President.
