PROGRESS MADE » AT SMITHSONIAN Year’s Scientific Advances Recounted to Regents by Dr. Abbot. Notable progress in scientific inves- tigations of far-reaching significance were reported today to the annual mMmeeting of the regents of the Smith- sonian Institution by Secretary Charles G. Abbot, summing up the results cf the last decade. Dr. Abbot stressed the ever-in- ereasing need for additional space in the National Museum, where near- Iy five million specimens have been added to collections in 10 years, in- cluding approximately 5000 hitherto unknown species of living and fossil animals and plants. Congress al- ready has authorized $6.000,000 for this addition, but has not yet made the initial appropriation. During the decade, Dr. Abbot said, the institu- tion has been engaged in 267 expedi- tions to every corner of the earth. A resolution was adopted by thej regents indorsing the proposal of An- drew W. Mellon, former Treasury | Secretary, to donate to the Nation a great art gallery. Weather Hypothesis Progresses. Considerable progress also was re- ported by Dr. Abbot in the develop- ment of his 23-year-cycle weather hypothesis. While much more work must be done in working out details, certain large and prolonged features, like the great drought in the North- west, seem to be clearly predicted. Thus, he pointed out, the first decades of each of the five 23-year cycles since 1837 show a marked depression | in rainfall, but these depressions in the first, third and fifth cycles are | outstanding. There seems to be a | 46-vear cycle of great droughts. On the basis of this evidence, mod- erate drought conditions, he said, might be expected throughout the region in the decade from 1850 to 1860 and a very severe drought in the decade from 1875 to 1885. The present drought seems comparable to | those of the decades following 1840 and 1890. It may be expected to | Jast for another vear, or possibly two | years, before the initiation of re- covery. The most notable work in the field of radiation effects on organisms has | been the finding of a curve of the effi- ciency of different colored light rays In promoting the fundamental phenom- enon of photosynthesis in plants, which 1s basic to all life on earth. The curve starts of zero in the violet, runs to a maximum in the blue at about 4,400 angstrom units of wave length, con- tinues to a moderate intensity in the green and yellow, reaches its highest maximum in the red, and then falls to eero in the invisible infra-red. Another notable development has been the working out of an extremely sensitive and quick-acting spectro- scopic method for measuring carbon dioxide in the air. By this method the respiration and carbon dioxide assimilation of a single grain of wheat | in its germination are readily ob- served. Nearly half a million specimens | were added this year to the collections | of the National Museum, mostly as | gifts or from Smithsonian expeditions, Dr. Abbot reported. | LOST.

It has been emphasized that the institution’s rec- ommendations are directed principally at reducing Government expenditures, while the President has sponsored & program of reorganization chiefly in the interests of greater efficiency. However, the President estimated his plan would save $30,000,000. ‘The House Rules Committee late yes- terday approved with amendments the two resolutions sponsored by Chair- ma Buchanan of the House Special Committee on Reorganization.

The new committee would have inquisitorial powers, authority to introduce bills and with special priority such as has been given to appropriation and revenue measures, The amendment made by the Rules Committee was to make it a special committee instead of setting up a new standing committee, but to grant it all the authority asked during the two-year term of ‘the present Congress, to see what it can accom- plish. ‘The Brookings Institution, privately endowed, with an established reputa- THE EVEN President Reconsiders ;n.»/ of effer ral Kierorreas e iraeniclli o mecofil Mhe wl Mo covemsosries allsints iy o i el of e Bosortonlof Uee s ctoit Leln Sromseasy lverdselh, & 4 search, was employed jointly by the commission acting for the President in a study of executive reorganiza- tion and the special committees rep- resenting the Senate and House on the same subject, at a cost of more than $38,000, augmented by $20,000 from the institution’s own endow- ment fund.

By the Assoclated Press, NORWICH, Conn., January 14—A gray-haired, soft-spoken woman, Mrs. Maude Sullivan, told today how she and her husband took their 17-year- old daughter Ellen and two other girls to the Danceland Casino at Ocean Beach the night the State ac- cuses Robert A. Simpson, orchestra leader, of causing young Ellen Sulli- van's death. While neighbors and friends crowd- ed into the court room, Mrs. Sullivan sald the gay youngsters went to the! dance from her home in New London shortly before 8 pm. She and her husband left them at the Casino and returned home. About 10:30, Mrs. Sullivan said, she was in bed when she heard the front door open. It was Ellen. H “Is the dance over?” Mrs. Sullivan asked. “No, mama,” answered the 17-year- old telephone operator. “I came back to change my shoes. They're killing me.” Next Saw Her Dying. Mrs. Sullivan said she did not see Ellen again until the girl was dying in a hospital from injuries suffered, the State charges, when Simpson, ' keeping & “date” with her after the dance, criminally attacked her in the darkened Casino hall and forced her from a window. She fell to a sidewalk 25 feet below. Ellen was a second-year high school student in 1935, when she left school to go to work as a telephone operator | in New London, Mrs. Sullivan testified. ‘The night she fell to her death she left home wearing a white jacket with big orange buttons down the front and & brown skirt, and was “very hap- py.” her mother said. On the way to the dance, they dropped off Ellen’s sister Jane at the | Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where the sister was in training as a nurse. Ellen was taken there after the fall and died there two days later. Frances Duchette, a pretty, young brunette, and with Mrs, Corinne Cas- tanza, companions of Ellen at the | dance, told how they filled in the hours before the young telephone girl kept her rendezvous with Simpson after midnight. She testified that Ellen had one glass of beer at a beach restaurant, went home just before intermission at 10:30 to change her shoes and get her bathing suit, went swimming for half an hour and then | told the other girls: “I'm going to meet Bob." | incidental lending authority in con- | The letter Rockwell prepared, which | tion said. | duce costs of government, as desired | by the great mass of voters, the Chief | Executive must stand firmly behind the committees of Congress and hold the executive officers of the Govern- than those provided for in the recom- mendations listed above, be trans- “Do you mean Simpson, the ac- cused?” asked State Prosecutor Arthur | M.

Under the recommendations sub- | mitted today regarding the agencies lending Federal money, the Brookings | Institution estimated that the saving to the taxpayers would amount to 1 $30,161,000 annually.

Besides Chairman | Byrd they are Senators Robinson and | McNary, leaders of their respective | parties in the Senate; Senator O'Ma- honey of Wyoming and Senator Town- ‘. send of Delaware. The recommendations of the Brook- ings Institution on the agencies lend- ing Federal funds were summarized | for the committee as follows: (1) That the preferred stock of banks be transferred from the Recon- struction Finance Corp. to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Govern- ment buying stock in the Federal De- posit Insurance Corp. to cover the in- vestment, Payment by the Govern- ment to the Federal Deposit Insur- ance Corp. for new stock and payment by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to the Reconstruction Finance Corp. for the preferred stock of banks, to be made with Reconstruction Fi- nance Corp. bonds now held by the United States Treasury. Industry Direct Loans. (2) That the direct loans to indus- try made by the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation be sold to reserve banks if the latter are to continue erative Credit Division. (10) That the Federal Housing Ad- ministration and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board be amalgamated. (11) That in the new agency sug- | gested in the preceding recommenda- | tion there be created a new corpora- | tion which shall take over the assets op Federal Housing Administration. (12) That the outstanding loans of the Home Owners’ Loan Corp. for which foreclosure is not imminent, be placed under the protection of mort- action may be taken, inasmuch as if | 828€ insurance of the type now of-| ioyard the close of the fered by the Federal Housing Admin- istration, commonly known as title 2 | loans and that these loans be sold to the public. (13) That the funds obtained by this operation be used in part to retire Home Owners' Loan Corp. bonds and in part to create a fund out of which losses on guaranteed loans shall be paid in cash, thereby obviating or postponing the necessity of the fur- ther insurance of Farm Credit Admin- istration debentures. $30,161,000 Partial Saving. Senator Byrd said that “the insti- tution conservatively estimates that the direct and actual saving to the taxpayers resulting from the adop- tion of the partial list of recom- mendations in the financial fleld amounts to $30,161,000 annually.” He added that it is his personal guess “that this saving can be made even greater because the recommendations cover agencies employing more than 25,000 persons at total operating making direct loans, or sold to the Treasury in the event that direct loans are presently to be discontinued. (3) That regardless of the disposi- tion made of the outstanding direct loans, if the making of direct loans to industry is to be continued, by either the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, or th ereserve banks, the industrial advisory committees be abolished. (4) That the production credit cor- porations purchase the stock of the regional agricultural credit corpora- tions from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and the Government pur- chase stock in the production credit corporations in corresponding amount, payment to be made in both cases in Reconstruction Finance Corporation up. “Btx chavels twelve parlors, seventeen cars, hearses twenty-five underiakers an Shrpm st mwColumbia 0435 517 11th st. s.¢e.

Buchanan marked a | sharp distinction between the report of his House committee and that of the President. “Our object is re- trenchment in expenditures; the other is reorganization for a more orderly Government and efficiency,” he said. Chairman Ramspeck of the Civil Service Committee, in arguing that the | proposed legislation must not be in- | trusted to a committee made up of men who are unfamiliar with the problems and what is involved, pointed to the retirement law, which was put through as an economy measure. “This is costing the Government $100,000,000,” he said. “They got the | veteran employes off the pay roll, but | they got them on the annuity rolls | until they die.” | would have killed Charles’ father, Dr. Conflicting testimony about Ellen’s condition after drinking beer with | Band Leader Simpson was offered. | Joseph Castanza of New London, saxophone plaver in Simpson's band at Danceland Casino at Ocean Beach, 11 miles from here, said she was | “feeling good, but not intoxicated.

She was loud. She said she didn't want to o home because she didn't have to go to work the next morning. She cried when Bob Simpson wouldn't buy her more beer.” | The defense seeks to prove that Miss Sullivan was intoxicated.

He was Fred Orrin Haynes, former convict. His fingerprints were checked at Sacra- | mento. Officials at Folsom Prison, where he served a term for burglary, were asked to aid in locating him The man’s possible connection with | the case was not revealed. One official said Haynes once had been questioned concerning a kidnap threat. Federal agents and State police sub- jected the automobile to rigid scrutiny, while they followed dozens of reports from widely separated points. One of these, they believed, would lead them | to the kidnaper, already thought to be | in a state of acute terror and likely | to reveal his whereabouts by some desperate move to obtain his freedom. Clues took officers on long trails at Clueburne, Tex.; Hoquiam, Wash.; San Bernardino, Calif.; Vancouver, British Columbia: Kelso, Seattle, Tacoma and Santa Rosa, Calif. There was no indication any of these reports had progressed beyond the classifica- tion of wild rumors. British Columbia police turned two | men, convicted of carrying arms across the border into Canada, over to United States immigration authorities. Po- lice said they were convinced the men, Leonard Dahl, 31, and William Bailey, 44, had nothing to do with the kid- naping. Department of Justice agents left San Francisco to question a man, identifying himself as Harold Sproule, 38, arrested in a hotel at Santa Rosa, Calif. Sheriff Harry L. Patterson said erotic literature and road maps, letter- heads and soap from Seattle, Portland and Vancouver hotels were in his room. Hunt Centers in Everett. But the kidnap hunt still centered in Everett. There officers sought a long-bladed knife with which they believe Charles was stabbed in the back before he was killed. The stab wound was revealed yes- terday by an autopsy performed under orders of the Federal agents. The “John Doe” warrant sworn to by United States District Attorney J. Charles Dennis, charged the unnamed man with kidnaping under the “Lind- bergh” law, using the mails for extor- tion and conspiracy to kidnap and extort.

SEATTLE, January 14 (#).—The Seattle Times quotes Paul Sceva as saying the family of Charles Mattson had received condolenices from other persons victimized by kidnapers. Sceva, a friend of Dr. W, W. Matt- son, sald messages came from Edward G. Bremer of St. Paul, who was kid- naped and ransomed for $200,000 in 1934, and from the family of little June Robles, who was seized in Tucson, Ariz, that year and was found safe in the desert 19 days later. He said constant offers of help came from the family of little George Weyer- haeuser of Tacoma who was abducted and ransomed for $200,000 in 1935, o PIANOS for RENT §3 monthly and up.
