MOUNT W I L S O N OBSERVA- TORY, Calif., April 29.-(p)-The radio amateur's dream of a set that will pick up Mars fades into the in- significance of a commonplace crys- tal receiver compared to the set being built here by Theodore Dun- ham, Jr. He says he expects to tune in the stars. He does not hope to hear music, so he has no loudspeaker attached. But if the set works the results will be music to the ears of as- tronomers throughout the world. Dr. Dunham is an astronomer for the Carnegie Institution of Wash- ington. His device has a photo- electric cell for a detector tube and is equipped with the most powerful !apliying tues ever built. light waves from stars trillions of miles away, and the amplifying tubes are expected to register a delicate galvanometer by which the temperature of the star under ob- servation will be recorded. In the past the photographic plate, radiometer or thermocouple have been used. In Dr. Dunham's set the photo-electric cell will make available a direct continuous record of temperature. The strength of the red and blue links of the spectrum are measured in finding star temperatures, the proportion of the blue light to the red light increasing as temperature rises. The device will at once be a ther- mometer and speedometer of stars. It is the atoms of the stars that reveal these secrets.

Henry Wright, city planner an"- consulting architect of New Yoi k City lectured in the Architectural school auditorium yesterday on the "Economics of Land Planning with Particular Reference to Radburn, N. J., The Town for the Moto, Age'." The new method of planning i; based on the modern problem of the automobile, he said.rRadburn, the 'Motor-Age City', he added has a residential section free from the noise and danger of foreign' traffic. The homes front on 'blind' streets, and their distinctive feature is the basement garage facing on streets in the rear. These rear streets carry the city's main residen- tial traffic. The noise and dust is further removed from houses by the extra floor needed to house the garage. The most sensible thing about the coming city, he declared, is the, complete absence of heavy pedes- trian-auto crossings. This is due to the use of tunnels and bridges. "The whole innovation," Wright. stated, "has been proved as highly practical and advantageous to all concerned. The close co-operation of architect, landscape architect, engineer, and city council has made an idealistic plan a successful real- ity." Wright will deliver another ad- dress tomorrow in room 110, Tap- pan hall, at 8:00.
