BUILDING PLAN “FOR SCHOOLS 1S PROTESTED

Further Indications. of Cut

in Tax Levy Shown at Board Meeting.

Further indications that ‘the school city budget may be cut by the State Tax Board were seen today when strong opposition was voiced to the teacher, janitor and executive salary increases proposed by the school board. William Taylor, for 16 years a school board member, said the $875,000 building program, largely accounting for the proposed 21-cent increase over last year's 89-cent levy. - and the proposed pay restorations should be delayed. Mr. Taylor said: “There has been a general tendency during the last 30 years to-decrease the number of pupils for each salaried employe, and this decrease means additional expense to the taxpayers. “The time has come when this should stop and we should start going ‘the other way.” James Gavin, attorney, spokesman for real estate interests, said: “This increase comes from real estate and we are so burdened today that we can not stand any more increase. It is making property valueless. “You are putting the tax rate so Ligh that you not only are preventing industry from coming to the city, but are driving industry already here away.

Attacks Social Service Paul Stetson, school superintendent, defended the salary increases, saying they were partial restoration of the wage cuts imposed by the Legislature and school board. “A - steady process of salary reductions has been in process since 1030,” he said, “and we believe that the rise in the cost of living justifes a restoration.” Others who protected the increases were William Book, Chamber of Commerce; Berkely Duck, real estate man, and four North Side women, Mrs. C. A. Hilgenberg, 1428 Park-av; Mrs. H. B. Marks, 4265 N. Pennsylvania-st; Mrs. W.

8. Turner, 940 E. 34th-st, and Mrs.

Edson T. Wood, 4310 N. Pennsyl-vania-st. The Social service department, including attendance, delinquency and poor relief work, came under fire of Mr. Duck who said “there seems to be overlapping in social service work.” Mr. Stetson said that one item causing the increase was the recent law requiring the city to transport Negro children to school, adding more workers to check the addresses of those who come under the law. Pleads for Taxpayer Mrs. Marks protested that “it really isn’t up to us to reduce the school tax rate. The school board and you, Mr. Stetson, know best where the reductions could be made.” Mrs. Hilgenburg added, “If. the school board would consider the taxpayer, there would not be an increase of $17,000 in salaries §o janitors, teachers and executives.” The hearing on the Marion County budget was held yesterday. The hearing on the civil city budget, scheduled for yesterday afternoon, has been postponed. If the school budget is approved by the state board, officials have promised to build an Irvington High School and build additions to Washington High School and Public School 26.

Astronomers to Sit Inside Big Telescope, Now Being Built in Philadelphia, as They 1 Train 200-Inch Eye on Heavens

BY DAVID DIETZ Seripps-Howard Science Editor PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16. — By lowering the floor and rais| the roof of its largest shop at th Philadelphia, a shop where many of the world’s largest electro-turbines have been built, the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. has cleared a space sufficient in which to fabricate the new 200-inch telescope. While optical experts of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena are polishing the 200-inch ‘eye for thi§ telescops, the mounting and tube of‘ the giant are being built here. When completed they will be sent by boat through the Panama Canal to California, where they will be erected in the observatory now being built: on Mount Palomar. In company with Capt. C. S. McDowell, who was owed from the Navy to become supervising engineer of the 200-inch telescope project, and G. H. Froebel, who is in charge of construction at the Westinghouse plant, I made a _ tour of the shop to see the progress’of the construction.

Parts Look Like Bridge Pieces

Overhead cranes cafiable of lifting a railroad locomotive were moving huge girders that looked like the parts of a mighty bridge. Workmen, wearing helmets and goggles, were = wel together structures made out of Steel: plates one inch thick. These were some of the parts of the telescope. I was shown a great circular, cage-like structure built of massive steel girders, 22 feet in diameter and 12 feet ‘high. It weighed 26,000 pounds. This was merely the superstructure which will top the telescope tube. This steel cage, big as a bungalow, might fairly be called the eyepiece or the plate-holder of the telescope for its purpose is to supply supports for these optical parts. But unlike any other telescope in history it will hold the astronomer as well, This, better than anything else, gives the key to the magnitude of the telescope. As the telescope is pointed at different parts of the sky, the astronomer will ride back and forth on the top of the telescope itself.

Rooms in Side Arms ’

There will be another room for an astronomer at the bottom of the tube just below the 200-inch mirror, while in the side-arms of the tube support there will be circular rooms 10 feet in diameter equipped for spectroscopic studies. The completed tube and mounting will weigh one million pounds. The tube itself will be 22 feet in diameter and 60 feet long, or in other words, as high as a six-story building. This tube will swing in a great cradle-like mounting or yoke as wide as the height of a four-and-a-half-story building. The upper end of this cradle-like mounting will be a horseshoe-shaped structure 46 feet in diameter and weighing 400,000 pounds. This horseshoe, which will turn when the telescope is moved, will constitute the world’s largest journal bearing. In the laboratory at South Philadelphia I was shown how the problems connected with the design of this mammoth telescope were solved. A model of the. telescope, complete in every detail, stands in the laboratory. It is built entirely of celluloid. Delicate micrometer measuring apparatus, arranged to work elec-

distortion of a hundred-thousandth of an inch, was used to test the model. Experts Collaborate on Plans

This model, incidentally, represented the combined judgment of famous astronomers, physicists and engineers who were called into consultation on the great project. The project is being financed by the Rockefeller Foundation, which furnished six million dollars for this purpose. : Plans for the 200-inch telescope began with Dr, George E. Hale, honorary director of the Mt. Wilson Observatory. Dr. Hale planned the building of that observatory’s 100inch telescope, the largest now in existence, It cost nearly one million dollars. When conditions of visibility are at their best, it will be possible to get a view of the moon with this new telescope equal to that which the naked eye would give if the moon were only 25 miles away. For technical reasons, however, astronomers will prefer to study the moon with less magnification, getting a view equal to a 300-mile view. The telescope will look out into space twice as far as does the 100inch telescope. The most distant spiral nebula visible in the new telescope will be a billion light years away. A light year is six trillion miles. By doubling the distance in every direction, the new telescope

Pursuers for

counties and state police officers.

After State Policeman Henry McMillan saw the fugitive duck behind a tree in front of the home of a Mrs. Gregory at a fork in the Greencastle road, the manhunt began. For hours officers, armed with everything from pistols to machine guns, scoured fields, ruining clothes and dispositions.

. Officers by the Score

And all the while the yard of the Gregory home was the base of operatfons. Officers swarmed around it, “What will I do if I see him?” Mrs. Gregory asked as officers léft and all but gave up the search in

that neighborhood. About 10:30 last night Mrs. Gregory was both frightened and surprised when out from behind a folding bed in a downstairs room appeared a shoeless Negro. All day. long, Sharber had been hiding back of the bed. He had taken off his shoes so as to make no noise when he entered the house through a rear door yesterday morning.

Armed Son Gives Alam

“All right, cook me some supper,” he ordered Mrs. Gregory at the point of a gun. She complied. Hearing the noise, her son, “Knot” Gregory, who was upstairs, picked up his revolver and came downstairs. But when he saw the fugitive, according to officers, he bolted through the screen door and ran a half mile to Mooresville to summon Marshal Reuben Aldridge. But when Marshal Aldridge and his re-organized posse returned, Sharber, refreshed from his long rest and Mrs. Gregory's country cooking, was on his way again. Sergty Fahey and his men again were summoned and the entire posse combed the countryside all night long—even looked behind beds in rural homeés—but found no new trace of their elusive prey.

Second Day.

MOON DOES TRICKS, BUT IT SHINES ON

Don’t look now, but the moon is just getting over being farthest away from the earth of any time this year. At 2 a. m. today, while you were sleeping, the moon was busy being 252,650 miles away from here. It has recovered slightly since then, and will continue to gain sky until it: reaches its perigee. Then it’s closest. It was at its apogee early today. It does this once a month, but the difference in October is greatest of any month in the year. Even if you had been awake you couldn’t have seen the moon at its apogee because it was too nearly in ine of the sun. And even if you had been awake and had been able to see the moon it wouldn’t have looked any different because the diiference between the apogee and the perigee is only 30,000 miles; the diference in the apparent size of the noon can be measured only with an instrument of some sort. Unless you're leading a completely unexciting life, you probably didn’t miss anything at 2 a. m. today by being asleep, at that.

dents of Highland Park gathered outside in the deepening twilight as the conference went on. * Few perhaps ever will know what happened inside. The rotund, gentle bishop asked in leaving the car if the had been mentioned. He “to shake his head, then apparently thought better of it and walked away. An attendant said bluntly:

“No comment.”

In reference to his declaration for the President, the bishop said: “I guess that was why I was invited here tonight.” Father Coughlin was at his home in Royal Oak last night after his return from the East. If there is any result of last night's maneuver through Bishop Gallagher, it may become apparent when the priest makes a speech in Detroit this week.

Rumors Flying

All sorts of rumors are current about Father Coughlin’s future course. There is a report that he may be disciplined by the church, this based largely on the recent arrival in this country of Cardinal Pacelli, secretary of state to the Vatican. There is also a report that he may finally come out for President Roosevelt just before the election, but this is not given much credence. The priest, according to political experts, holds the key to Michigan's

electoral vote. The votes he can roll

up for the Lemke ticket may be the

decisive factor in a state that ad-.

mittedly is close but which looked, from the enthusiastic turnout for President Roosevelt, to be leaning now slightly toward the President. If Rep. Lemke polls 200,000 votes in Michigan, then Gov. Landon will carry it, in the opinion of state political experts. They were somewhat surprised by the vote -of 121,000 polled by Father Coughlin’s candidate in the recent senatorial primary, Louis B. Ward, only 8000 less than the successful Democraiic candidate, Prentiss Brown. Murphy Praised Local politicians who visited President Roosevelt's train claimed a falling off recently in Father Coughlin’s following. This they

was a growing belief among some of the priest's followers that he has misled them by his support of Rep. Lemke, and, second, an increasing hostility toward the priest among many Catholics because of his nolitical activity. In other ways than the conference with Bishop Gallagher, the President attempted to bring about a strong front in Michigan and offset the Coughlin influence. He paid high: tribute to Frank Murphy, former high commissioner

At each of the stops, Gov. Landon was introduced by an Indiana G. O, P. leader.
