\? ‘. B6 =* LIGHT PARTICLES PROOF ANNOUNGED Ndbel Prize Winner Discov- ers Wave Characters in Tests With Gases. By the Associated Press CALCUTTA, Indla, June 27—Sir Chandrasekhara Yenkata, this year's Nobel prize winner in physics, an- nounces discovery of proof that light consists of particles possesing additional attribute of angular motion, which hitherto. have been regarded as theo- retical. He made the discovery by experi- ments in scattering light in gases to determine the state of polarization and molecular spin. LIGHT WHIZ2ZING AND CURVES. Likened to String of Speeding Base Balls. BY, HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE. Assoctated Press Science Editor NEW YORK, June 26 (#).—Sir Chand- rasekhara Yenkata's discovery is much like finding that light instead of being immaterial is a string of base balls, thrown by & big league pitcher, whizzing and curving as they speed ahead. This id2a that light is both particles and waves is not new, but there has been a wide gip between the known wave characters of light and its particle | attributes. So wide a gap that a stand- ! ing jok> has it that scientists regard light as waves on the first three days, af the week, as particles on the sec- ond three and as both on Sundays. | Some of this gap may be bridged by Sir Chandrasekhara’s discovery. He opens the door upon a new world of | exploration | The angular momentum—in which he finds the new facts about light—de- pends partly on distribution of mass in a particle. The shape of the particle is Jikely to be a factor in this distribu- tion of mass. So, finding angular | momentum in light is really to dis- cover some more of the ways in which it acts like a string of particles. Angular Momentum Obtained. Full Rigger Stirs Memories of Past As VYoyage Begins . By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 27.—Queenly and aloof, a strangs craft in this world of am and steel, the Tusitala, one of the last of the full riggers, cleared New York harbor todsy Honolulu bound. Aboard was her owner, James A, Farrell, president of the United States Steel Corporation, -who, with Christopher Morley, writer, saved the vessel from the scrap heap som= time ago. Farrell left the ship with her vilot at Sandy Hook and her skipper, Capt. James Barker, veteran seaman, steered the Tusi- tala’s nose for her 100-day trip to the Midpacific. The Tusitala carried freight. She was built in 1883. MENACE OF RUSSIA 1S DECLARED MYTH American Engineer in Soviet Says U. S. Trade Rivalry Is 25 Years Distant. BY ELLERY WALTER.
