THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D €, TUESBDAY, JANUARY 5. 1932. A7 — TARIFF BILL VOTE 1§ SEEN THURSDAY Bnell Says Democratic Measure Goes in No Spe- cific Direction.

With a Democratic majority House and a potential majority Senate due to the willingness insurgent Republicans to act with the Democrat in- doubtedly can be passed. When it reaches the Senate, efforts to amend it by on r; rti ica President Hoover, it is believed, would | veto the bill if it was sent to him, and it could not be passed over his veto, such action requiring a two-thirds vote of both houses. The bill was introduced in the House after the so-called Policy Committee made up of Democrats of the House and Senate, had given the measure its bless- ing. A statement wes issued by Speak- er Garner and Senator Robin: f Arkansas, the Democratic leader of the Senate, on behalf of the Policy Com- | mittee, in which the Democrats the position that, with the Democt controlling the House, but with the Re- publicans having the Senate and the presidency, the most practical thing that they could do would be to prese and put through the bill as presented The Republicans pointed out that there is really no more chance for the bill to become law under existing con- ditions than there would be for a bill dealing with tariff rates. They insisted that the Democrats were unable to T tariff rates, and further that in the in the of S be made, Repul specific schedules maj cularly by the insurgen: No Plan as to Rates. > end of its statement regard- > tariff bill the Policy Comnmlu’ ce decided that it is ¥ to proceed as speedily to balance the budget, but announces no detailed e statement referred to the rates of taxation which the Demo- crets will write into their tax bill. The Policy Committee is to meet again to- morrow to wrestle with the tax question and hopes to have a bill ready to intro- duce after that meeting. Already much preliminary work has been done on such a_measure, but Democratic leaders have not yet ironed out all their differences. The Democratic tariff bill amends the Smoot-Hawley tariff law by substituting the old Simmons amendment, offered in the Senate when the law was under consideration, for esent_flexible provisions of the tariff law.

It contains a complete description of a three-torque control sy torsional ‘wings But the inventors of the day were |not interested in manually operated apparatus for preserving lateral stabil- ity. They were trying to build auto- matically stable flying machines. Al- most 10 years later the Wrights saw the | necessity for such a third rudder and ‘mxrnn'd their wing-warped device on | the same principle ] | From 1893 to 1895 Zahm studied physics at Johns Hopkins University and then came to Washington as asso- ciate professor at the Catholic Univer- sity. Here he conducted a series of ex- periments to determine the air re- sistance of projectiles. The apparatus used was entirely novel and ingenious invented by himself. Most remarkable !was a new chronograph, capable of measuring accurately intervals in time down to one-millionth of a second. or about 100 times more accurately than was possible before Dr. Zahm had long wished for an opportunity to undertake extensive aeronautical research with adequate | equipment, and in the Spring of 1901 the opportunity came, through Mr. | Hugo Mattullath, inventor and business man. Mattullath had designed a mam- | moth _airplane, but_before going into actual construction his financial back- ers desired to test the soundness of the design. Dr. Zahm offered to conduct the tests. expecting in that way to learn much of value to aeronautical science in gener: Mattullath provided the funds, and under Dr. Zahm's direction a special laboratory was erected on the grounds of the Catholic Univer There are two general methods measuring air resistance: either to pr pel the body against the air or the ai against the body. The second method W chosen, and a wind tunnel built, 50 feet long and 6 feet square. Wind tun- nels of a kind had been constructed i Europe before, but they were small and primit The Wright brothers als later in the same year, constructed a [ small wind tunnel which, in spite of crudeness, was of great help to the | Dr. Zahm's tunnel, however, diff from the others, not only in siz by being adapted for the most acct measurements. The most exacting p cautions were taken to eliminate sources of error. Many new and deli cate instruments were invented by D Zahm, among them & pressure gaugc | graduated to millionths of an atmos- | phere. The laboratory was nothing les | than the first full-fledged aeronauti laboratory in the world One of the chief objects of research in the wind tunnel was the friction of the alr. This had been considered neg- ligible by all previous investigators. Dr. Zahm now proved that skin friction far from being negligible, is about half | of the total resistance. When his now classical paper, “Atmospheric Priction With Special Reference to Aeronau- tics,” in 1904 was presented to variou learned societies, and to the aeronau- tical conference in St. Louis it came as a revelation, and Chanute called it “litt] hort of revolutionary.” Physicists had hitherto confused two entirely different things, head resistance and skin fric- n treated them as one.

Dr. Zahm made a number of expers ments with various spindle-shaped and fish-shaped bodies, and found that a certain torpedo shape, with a rather blunt nose and tapering stern, was the most_ efficient. His investigation took the guesswork out of airship hull de- igning, and put it on a sound scientific basis. The effects soon became evident in airship construction. The German Gross and Parseval airships were the first to be changed to conform with the principles laid down by Dr. Zahm, and when the British began to con- their first rigid airship we are formed that “various shapes were considered, and the one adopted was that recommended by an American ssor named Zzhm.” The two fol- ritish rigids also wer 1y d to be of the hape. The prosent day airships repre- sent a further development of the same. Since December, 1929, Dr. Zahm has been chief of the Division of Aeronau- tics in the Library of Congress. He is there building up the most complete aeronautical library in the world. In addition to the wealth of printed mate- ri>] available here, any serious student of aeronautics and allied subjects has the privilege of personal consultation with Dr. Zahm, who is daily giving from his_great experience to students and teachers of aeronautics. authors and inventors.
