ONE OF THE major policiés Alex M. Clark will attempt to establish when he becomes judge of municipal court 4 next Wednesday is general co-or-dination of all law enforcement agencies. Mr, Clark, who rose from an obscure young attorney to one of the key court posts in a series of turbulent G. O. P. maneuvers recently, thinks friction and jealousy among law enforcement agencies has handicapped the campaign against crime. “My. court will co-operate at all times with other branches of the law enforcement machinery,” he said. “Political friction between the agencies and attempts on the part of politicians in either party to influence my court or activities connected with it will not be tolerated . . . I'm giving a fair warning in advance on this.” Mr. Clark, who was defeated for the Republican prosecutor nomination by Judson L, Stark in a bitter party feud, says that fight is forgotten,

Promises Drastic Measures

“THERE'S NOT going to be any friction with the prosecutor’s office,” he said. “Sound law enforcement is far more important than the fate of any political personality.” Regarding the petty rackets that spring up from time to time around police courts, the new judge promised some drastic measures to deal with them. “The professional bondsmen will be checked regularly by my court to see that their financial status meets legal requirements and any unfair gouging of prisoners will hot be tolerated,” he said.

Also any attache of the court will face prompt

dismissal and penalties if he is caught steering cases to certain lawyers, he warned. “That's not only unethical but it's illegal.” Motorists driving while drunk can expect no leniency in municipal court 4 the next four years. “Driving a car while drunk is inexcusable, especially those arrested a second time. I will not hesitate to impose the maximum penalties.” In addition to heavy penalties for second offenders in all criminal cases, Mr. Clark thinks education and proper probation work are the best deterrents to crime. He offered the facilities of his court for an educational program. “Education on social responsibilities’ and citizen-

Noted for Forthrightness

THE NEW judge, the son of Mr. and Mrs, Alex Clark, 4809 Central ave. both of whom were born in| Scotland, is noted among his friends for his forth-| rightness. He has never been known to hesitate to tell his best friend what he thinks of him, mincing no words about it. His rise in Republican politics is rivaled only by his rapid rise in rank during the war. He entered the army as a private and rose to major in the army of the late Gen, Georg® Patton on the battlefields of Europe. He came home with most

Dizzy Su rplus By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—How shortages become surpluses in split seconds, giving economists dizzy spells, driving grocers batty and bringing smiles again to houewives’ faces, was something I never understood until today. With a deep bow to the League of Building and Loan associations, which managed to explaih a simple situation simply, I hasten to share my new-found knowledge. The league was worrying about housing loans. Said when a fellow paid $20,000 for a $10,000 house and took out a $15000 mortgage on it, somebody was headed for the soup. Tomorrow this same house might be worth only $7500. Say there are 10 people in a village who are desperate to buy houses (the loan expert explained) and there are nine houses for sale. The 10 homeless ones bid against each other, get more desperate by the hour, and inflate prices out of all reason. Somebody builds another house in the village and puts it up for sale, while one of the would-be home buyers gets disgusted and moves to Mexico. Now we have 10 houses for sale and only nine prospective purchasers. The latter shop around and consider one house against another and now it is the sellers who are desperate. All 10 slash their prices and slash them again and one poor devil can't sell his house at any figure.

Housing Costs Head Downward

WHAT'S TRUE for houses also holds for what goes into them and today we have a surplus, among other things, of bricks. Lumber is piling up in some yards. The building material boys predict that the costs of new houses are heading downward. There seem to be 10 shirts suddenly for every nine of the shirtless; a shirt can be bought in Washington today for the first time in flve years for $1.95.

Science

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 28.—A solar system of planets might result from the collapse of a cosmic cloud of about the same mass as our sun. Planets thus created would all move with circular orbits close to the star's central plane, the largest masses remaining farthest from the sun, Dr. Pred L. Whipple of Harvard observatory yesterday told members of the American Astronomical society meeting here to celebrate the Harvard observatory centennial. There is apparently little chance of heavenly accidents, Large clouds of gas 587,000,000,000,000 miles to 1,175,000,000,000,000 miles across and moving three to five miles per second, would collide not more than once in 10,000,000 years, Dr. Whipple's calculations show. Small, dark nebulae less than 465,000,000,000 miles in diameter are relatively rare, he reported at the afternoon session of the symposium on interstellar matter.

Gas Atoms Freeze

THE COLLAPSE of a star 10 to 20 times that size would at first be slow and gradual, requiring 100,000,000 years or more for the first stages. But when the clouds have collapsed to about one-tenth this original size, the rate of collapse

is stepped up. Every gas atom that strikes a solid particle in interstellar space will freeze onto the particle. Hy-

The same situation applies to an ever-lengthening list of products, Jronm® radios to radishes to rayons. That's no mere alliteration. A five-tube radio can he purchased almost anywhere now for $16.95. Radishes and all other vegetables, for that matter, soon will cost less, the produce men say. Rayon hosiery, which few women seem to want at any price, is advertised currently at 46 cents a pair,

A BUMPER WINTER wheat crop is about to be harvested and grain prices are what the trade calls “easy.” Meat prices are “easy,” too, and eggs are down five cents a dozen.

That, in itself, is headline news; pot since the war began could a can of anything be bought in a grocery for a nickel There are rumors in the jewelry trade of a price war involving Swiss watches.

drogen and helium atoms are the only ones that escape. Thus solid particles in space consist mostly of carbon, oxygen and nitrogen, possibly mixed with small quantities of the more common metals such as titanium and iron, Dr. H. C. van de Hulst of Utrecht, Holland, and now at the Yerkes observatory, told those attending the meeting.

Condensation Creates Cosmic Smoke

GIVING A GENERAL survey of the extensive investigations carried on in Holland under the general direction of Prof. Jan Hendrik Oort of Leiden during the years of German occupation, Dr. Van de Hulst pointed out that gaseous atoms and molecules forming interstellar matter should be called cosmic smoke instead of cosmic dust. This would emphasize the fact that it is created by condensation rather than by pulverization. Particles in space should have taken only about 30,000,000 years or so to reach their present irregular, spherical shape, Dutch investigations show. But this is only about one per cent of the estimated age of our Milky Way system. To counterbalance this rapid rate of growth, which incidentally would. rapidly exhaust the heavier elements in interstellar gas, the Dutch investigators assume with Prof. Oort that evaporation following the collision of particles keeps them from growing steadily. When two clouds collide, particles on the edges of the cloud may either fuse together or evaporate,
