Ultimately, speculation on trans

ARKANSAS BRUTALITY
TO CONVICTS DENIED
Penal Head Counters Charge
Prom State Senator They Are
Driven to Commit Suicide.
By the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.. Pel -uary 13.
—Penal Supt. Tom Cogbill today de
nied legislators’ charges that lashings
had driven some Arkansas convicts to
suicide and crippled others.
Senator Joe Steele Hall made these
claims in supporting a bill "•'ssed by
the Senate to fix a 60-hour work week
for inmates of penal institutions.
Proponents described the measure as
the first step toward "humanizing” of
Arkansas convicts.
Senator Hal P. Smith, author of the
proposal, said “it is well known that
among the land clearing crews con
victs have thrown themselves in front
of falling trees to die rather than
take the punishment that is dealt out
to them.”

PROGRAM URGED
HOMEBUILDING
Economic Progress Commit
tee Recommends Aid
Plan to President.
B5 the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 13 —Sweep
ing recommendations for a home
building program in which the Gov
ernment would aid in creating "ade
quately capitalized private enterprise
home-building companies” were sub
mitted to President Roosevelt today
j by the Committee for Economic and
! Social Progress, headed by Allie S.
Freed, president of Paramount Motors
| Corp. of New York.
Responsibility for much of the
; "present confused state of home
building activity” is placed on Gov
j ernment, business and labor in the
| report, which covers the important
; phases of home building, home mort
gage finance and home operation.
! Both Government and business, it
j asserted, "have never realized that
! housing is mainly an industrial and
financial problem.”
The committee declares itself op
posed to direct Government borrow
ing and lending for private construc
tion, but admits that subsidized hous
ing is necessary for families with less
than $1,000 a year income.
Private home-building companies,
aided in their formation by the Gov
ernment, the report declares, can pur
chase on a mass basis, contract with |
I labor on an annual wage basis rather
than at high day-to-day rates, create j
planned home communities, borrow at
higher percentages of the “economic
values” of projects and at lower
interest rates, and produce econom
ically for the mass market.
In addition to Freed, the committee
includes John D. Biggers, president of
Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Co.: Ches
ter H. McCall of the United States
Advertising Corp.. and representatives
of steel companies, department stores ;
and many other enterprises.

United Christian Advance Is
Formed by Protestant
Denominations.
the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Febrary 13 —The Inter
national Council of Religious Educa
tion voted today to unite the activities
of 40 Protestant denominations,
representing 25,000,000 members, into
a single administrative agency.
It agreed that each participating
denomination was to retain its his
toric identity, but the major field
efforts of all in evangelism, teaching,
missions and social action were to be
planned and executed jointly through
the new organization, the United
Christian Advance.
‘‘For the first time in their history.”
said Harry C. Munro. Chicago, di
rector of field administration and
adult work for the council, “the forces
of evangelical Christianity are unit
ing all phases of their work in one
grand strategy.
‘‘We have had our great missionary
movements, our widespread Sunday
school movements, our * Christian
youth movement, our evangelistic
drives and preaching missions, our
programs of social action. The United
Christian Advance gathers up these
special emphases and unites them in
a total Christian program.”
The International Council, which
concluded its annual conference to
day, was the last of seven organiza
tions to approve the unification. The
others included the Federal Council
of Churches of Christ in America and
five national missionary federations.
Munro was named chairman of a
committee to formulate final plans for
the agency. The committee and de
nominational executives scheduled a
conference in Columbus. Ohio, April
9 and 10 to consider details and lay
plans for a field campaign.

Smoke Nuisance Seems Doomed
With Use of 6Super-Sonic Wave’
High Frequency Vibrations Force Coag
ulation of Fumes, St, Clair Device
Shows in Special Demonstration,
Smoke-plagued factory cities may
very soon become a thing of the sooty
past, an amazed audience realized yes
terday at the Interior Department,
as they watched dense clouds of fumes
disappear in a matter of second at
the shriek of a whistle commanded
by a “super-sonic wave.’*
It was a practical demonstration of
a device invented by H. W. St. ClaiT\
metallurgist of the Bureau of Mines,
designed to solve the smelter-fume
and similar problems by means of
waves of extremely high frequenev.
It has been known that such waves
affected the diffusion of solid or liquid
particles of gas. But, as Bureau of
Mines officials pointed out. no prac
tical application has previously been
made of this knowledge.
With a little more development, St.
Clair hopes to be able to apply his
invention to practical usage in a dozen
different ways.
Costs Millions Annually.
The smelter-fume problem has cost
millions annually in law suits over
damages to vegetation, live stock and
water supplies. Similarly, the smoke
nuisance in factory towns may be
curbed or altogether subdued by the
application of “super-sonic waves."
that may be of such high pitch that
a person can’t even hear it.
St. Clair's device looks somewhat
like a radio set. with a glass tube
and whistle attached His method
merely passes the smoke or gas fume
through the tube in which standing
sound waves are established. These
standing waves are produced by so
adjusting the length of the tube that
waves reflected from the upper end
are in phase with the original sound
waves set up at the lower end.
Coagulation Can Be Seen.
As the whistle blows and the waves
are set in motion, the quick coagula
tion of the fumes is readily seen. In
a few seconds the fumes have con
gealed at the bottom of the tube.
Some day. officials said, it may be
poss:b!e by this manner to dispel fogs
from airplane landing fields—but even
they admitted such a day was far
distant.
The action of the sound waves on
the fumes in the tube is similar to
the effect produced by drawing the
bow of a violin over a metal plate on
which dust particles are deposited,
when the vibrations cause the particles
to arrange themselves in groups.
The Bureau of Mines for many
years has been interested in the prob
lem of smelter fumes. In 1929 it
began work on the possibility of set
tling smoke by means of acoustic
w’aves.
The installation of the process in
factories or in smelters should be com
paratively simple and inexpensive,
they said. The device would coagu
late the fumes before they entered the
chimney.
Valuable Metals Can Be Saved.
By the same method, they said, it
would be possible to collect the valu
able by-products of the fumes. Pre- '
cious particles of gold, silver, lead. I
copper and zinc, bound skyward from
the smelter stack, may also be knocked
out of the fumes and collected.
In the same way. the frequency I
waves would divert the fragments of j
soot belched from factory chimneys,
bent on soiling the housewife's linen,
or smirching the surface of fresh J
paint, to say nothing of leaving their ,
traces on human faces.
Patents covering the process will be J
applied for by the Bureau of Mines for
the benefit of the public. St. Clair is
to demonstrate his device again this
week in New York at the annual j
meeting of the American Institute of
Mining and Metallurgical Engineers.
