Abbot Announces Program For
Series Of University Broadeasts

Prof. Hobart N. Wird, of the
,chemistry departicnt, just returned
from Hartford, Conn., where he par-
Aicipated in a patent suit as technical
expert for General Mqtors Corp.
'against United Chromium, Inc.
He testified as to the validity of
chemical processes involved in the
manufacture of chromium plate, and
was on the stand for about three
gays.
The counsel for the plaintiff
charged that methods used by Gen-
eral Motors of introducing sulphates
into the precipitating solution were
infringing on the Fink patents, owned
by United Chromium.
Refutes Charges
It was the duty of Willard to refute
these charges, which he did by em-
)oying lately discovered facts about
chromium plating.
"The main point of argument was
the concentration of chromium sul-
phate in the solution," Prof. Willard
explained."You see, the whole pro-
cess requires very exact concentra-
tions, because if there is too great an
amount of the sulphate, chromium
Will not be deposited on the object to
be plated. And if there is too little
the same thing happens.
"But we were able to prove
that we made out our own concen-
tration tables, and furthermore, the
thing which will probably win the
quit for us is that it was discovered
that two years before the Fink pat-
ents were granted, an application had
been filed in the patent office cover-'
ing the same thing, and that United1
Chromium forced this man, one Ude,'
to release his patent rights."
Was Technical Expert
Prof. Willard was asked his exact
duties in the trial. "Well, I was called
a technical expert. I had to testify
as to the processes involved, and as
to the' exact composition of the solu-
tions. Of course I was prevented from
explaning them completely, becauses
too many chemical terms would be
too much for the judge. It was essen-
tially sugar- dated science."+
Two years ago, a suit of the same7
nature was brought before the same
judge, and United Chromium was up-
held in his decision. General Motors;
is confident ' victory, because of
new evid On the outcome of this
suit depends the status of the chrom-+
-ium-pl*ng indstry in America, for

On State Public
Works Program
LANSING, Oct. 12-(P)-The pro-1
posed $25,000,000 Michigan public
works program may not get under
way for several weeks as a result
oV failure to forward information to
Washington, state authorities say.
Public works projects, presumed
tby state officials to have been sent
to Washington for approval weeks
hgo, were held by the state advisory
c uncil until last Monday, Gov. Com-
sock said.a
, The administrative b o a r d ap-
«pioved improvements and buildings
at Ypsilanti hospital and sent the
approval to the advisory council on
Sept. 7. It was expected they would
.be forwarded to Washington Sept. 9.
Approval or rejection of the expen-
diture was awaited because the de-
cision in Washington was expected
to inform the state whether a special
session of the legislature would be
necessary to give the administrative
board greater authority to deal with
the federal government.
The governor said he was informed
by Frank H. Alfred, head of the ad-
visory council, that the Ypsilanti and
other projects were not sent to
Washington until this week. At the

same time proposals for additions
and improvements at Traverse City
state hospital, the psychopathic hos-
.pital at Ann Arbor, Ionia hospital,
University of Michigan, Lapeer Home
and Training school and the Col-
lege of Mining and Technology were
forwarded. Expenditures at these in-
stitutions would total about $3,500,-
000. Next week, the administrative
bbard is expected to approve an ad-
ditional $8,000,000 of projects, in-
cluding buildings and improvements
at Kalamazoo, Newberry and Pon-
tiac hospitals and the state institu-
tion at Wahjamega.

Novel Village
For 200 Idle
Homes To Be Erected On
Mountainside For West
Virginia Destitutes
WASHINGTQN, Oct. 12.-(P-The
administration will inaugurate its
subsistence homestead program in a
West Virginia mountain valley, where
a project described by Secretary Ickes
today as "one of the most significant
of this period" soon will be developed.
Homes for 200 unemployed miners
and their families will be built on a
1,100-acre tract acquired in Preston
county, West Virginia. A factory to
produce equipment for the postoffice
department will be established, hand-
icraft industries developed and gar-
dens laid out to enable the prospec-
tive residents, now on relief lists, to
support themselves.
Secretary Ickes, in announcing de-
tails of the project, said it would be
developed wth the aim of demon-
strating the feasibility of decentrali-
zation by private concerns. It will be
financed from the $25,000,000 of pub-
lic works funds set aside for subsist-
ence homes and the cost of the dwell-
ings will be repaid by the settlers over
a period of 20 years.
"This project is in many ways one
of the most significant in this period,"
Ickes said. "It will serve as a means
of measuring the possibilities of de-
centralizing industry in this country
where the evils of over-urbanization
have become all too evident in this
depression."
The property purchased for the ex-
periment was once part of the lands
of Col. John Fairfax and legend says
it was surveyed by George Washing-
ton.
Each home will cost about $2,000
and willbe surrounded by from two
to four acres for gardening, fruit
trees, poultry raising and the produc-
tion of other foodstuffs for home con-
sumption.
Plans call for setting up a self-
governing community patterned after
the New England town meeting idea.
A school, which will serve as a com-
munity center, will be built.
Ickes said the factory will be con-
structed because of the absence of a
private industry immediately avail-
able for transfer to the area.
Airlane Crash
At Indiana Is
Still AMystery
VALPARAISO, Ind., Oct. 12.-()-
The fatal crash of the United Air
Lines New York-Chicago plane, with
death to seven persons, near Ches-
terton, Ind., went down into history
today as one of the unsolved trag-
edies of aviation,
An open verdict, stating the cause
i of the crash Tuesday night was un-
known, was returned by Coroner
Carl Davis of Porter county at the
conclusion of a closed inquest at
which witnesses and officials of the
company testified.
Dr. Davis said he believed two ex-
plosions occurred, one while the ship
was still in the air and another when
it struck the ground. The fire that

enveloped the wreckage followed the
second blast, he said.
Afficials of United Air Lines testi-
fied the multi-motor craft had ac-
tually been flown but 1,000 hours
and that its payload was 1,200
pounds under the maximum permit-
ted by law.

New Methods
For Basketry
Are Assembled
A collection of methods of making
Indian basketry has been assembled
by Volney Jones, research associate of
the division of ethnobotany in the
Museum of Anthropology, on a 10
weeks field trip provided by the
Homeopathic Hospital Guild Scholar-
ship in Michigan Ethnology.
Visiting Indian settlements at Cross
Village, near Harbor Springs; Pesh-
awbetown, near Traverse City; Sugar
Island, near Saulte Ste. Marie; all in
Michigan, and the Canadian reserva-
tions at Walpole Island and Garden
River, Jones studied Indian methods
and collected materials for baskets
and mats in various stages of com-
pletion. The object of the survey was
to find out which plant materials were!
used in various articles.
"Indians now use 'diamond' dyes
for coloring their .baskets," Jones
stated, "but I tried, wherever possible,
to obtain specimens of the native
plant dyes and examples of the dyed
product." The study, confined to the
work of Chippewa Indians, was also
carried to methods of harvesting and
preparing the materials going into
baskets.
University Club Will

Henry Ford Asks
For Old Cart Used
By Railroad Jack
COLDWATER, Oct. 12-0P)-Hen-
ry Ford today petitioned authorities
here for the cart used by the late
"Railroad Jack" in his wanderings
throughout the country, to be placed
in the Ford Museum of American
History at Greenfield Village, Dear-
born.
Several years ago Ford, meeting
"Railroad Jack" along a country
road, promised him an automobile
in which to travel through the coun-
try giving "pavement history les-
sons."
The car was delivered, but "Rail-
road Jack" preferred to use his bat-
tered old cart.
The Government Bureau of the
Census has announced that during
the four weeks ending Sept. 30, 1933,
86 large cities in the United States
reported 706 deaths from automobile
accidents. This number shows an in-
crease of 55 deaths over the cor-
responding period of last year. Of
the 706 deaths during the past
month, only 549 were due to acci-
dents within city limits.

Novel Water
Is Discovered
At Prineton
PRINCETON, N. J.,-Scientists a
Princeton University have succeeded
in producing a new kind of waiOdr -
heavy water -for use in experimfents
in all departments of the university.
Professor Hugh Scott Tayloraid
Arthur A. Frost, assisted by Arthur
A. Frost, Harvard Fellow in cheisi-
try at Princeton, have succeeded iri
devising a process by which about a
thimbleful of heavy water is produc-
ed every two days.
The water looks like ordinary
water, but is different in that each
hydrogen atom in the water has a
mass of two instead of the usual
mass of one.
It has been found that fresh water
animals die when placed in the
heavy water.
