Edgar Hoover, chief of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, met in secret conference late today with H. Nor- man Schwartzkopf, head of the New Jersey state police, Police Commis- sioner Lewis J. Valentine of New York and Mayor LaGuardia. At the conclusion of the half-hour meeting, Lester B. Stone, of the may- or's staff, said that no announce- ment would be made concerning the conference until tomorrow afternoon when all four men are expected to meet again. BERLIN, Jan. 15. - (P) - Nazi newspapers today attacked the "tor- ture" of Bruno Richard Hauptmann and lauded the German method of ex- ecution with the ax. In discussing the case, the Voelk- ischer Beobachter said that Haupt- mann, a native of Germany, was con- victed on "circumstantial evidence," and that it would be "inexcusable to place Hauptmann in the electric chair." Der Angriff, organ of Dr. Paul Ji- seph Goebbels, said that the whole principle of German punishment in such cases is "quick, and, above all,, certainadeath without any torture." Pointing out that nearly a year has passed since Hauptmann was con- demned, it said "yet the murderer of, the Lindbergh child walks back and forth in his cell. i i reaKing Up Of Atom Hailed As Greatest Feat (Continued from Page 1) tive. Another drawback to the use of radium. However, he said, radiumj could not be permanently introduced_ Into the body since they retain their radioactive properties indefinitely and may be poisonous. "The great value of the artificially radioactive materials will be that this danger can be overcome," he said, since they lose their radioactive prop- erty when they have been left in the human organism. Thus, the research work in atomic structure with the cyclotron, will be carried on by the physics department, but at the same time the research workers will supply sufficient quan- tities of the artificially radioactive materials to permit research work in their -effects in the fields of biology and medicine. Professor Firestone designed the cyclotron from directions in an art- icle written by the California scien- tist in the Physical Review, and has never seen the one in use. He was forced to design a magnet for the machine, since, as he said, "the Cal- ifornia physicists found one on the rubbish pile, a -feat which we were not able to duplicate." The theory of the cyclotron is that ions of ordinary hydrogen or heavy hydrogen falling through such fields attain speeds sufficiently great enough to permit them to disrupt the nuclei of a number of the elements. By a combination of magnetic and electric fields the charged particles are caused to revolve in expanding spirals. Twice during each revolu- tion they are subjected to electric fields of from ten to twenty thousand volts. If the particles subjected to the fields revolve 400 times before emerging they will acquire speeds equivalent to falling through a direct potential drop of four million volts and will thus be able to accomplish, the breaking up of the atom. Secretary Morgenthau Quizzed On Bonus Financing McCallum And Wagg Receive Appointments Named To County Welfare Commission And Relief Administration George P. McCallum, Sr., local at- torney, was appointed to the county} welfare commission, and Charles F. Wagg, '31, also of Ann Arbor, was named relief administrator of Wash- tenaw County, yesterday to fill the two vacancies left after the resigna- tion of Clarence H. Elliot, adminis- trator since 1931, who withdrew last week in order to become city man- ager of Plymouth. The appointment of Mr. McCallum, who was graduated from the Uni- versity Law School in 1898, was made by Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald on the recommendation of the relief com- mission, while Mr. Wagg was ap- pointed by Everett DeRyke of Milan, chairman of the county commission. The position held by McCallum has been open since October, when Harold D. Smith, director of the Michigan Municipal League, resigned, leaving on the county commission only two members, Lawrence Thomas of Sa- line, dnd Mr. DeRyke. Mr. McCallum is president of the Detroit, Mackinac, and Marquette Land Co., and was formerly collector of customs at Sault Ste. Marie. He has been with the land company about 20 years, and was a member of the state legislature in the 1899-1901 term. Mr. Wagg has been working for the relief administration for some time in Michigan, first as a member of the county staff here; and then as field supervisor for the state com- mission in nine counties centered about Grand Rapids. He had lived in Ann Arbor for 12 years before that time. DIES OF BURNS ST. JOSEPH, Mich., Jan. 15.- (AP) - Betty Belden, seven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elson L.

Advance In Airway Equipment c Portrayed In Illustrated Lecture By LOWELL E. KRIEG A large audience had many of their inhibitions towards flying removed last night by a graphic portrayal of the progress of aviation in a lecture given in the Natural Science Audi- torium under the auspices of the Aero division of the A.S.M.E. The films, obtained from the Bu- reau of Air Commerce, depicted the advance of aviation in respect to air- port and airway equipment, their saf- ety devices, and other technical fac- tors -all of whch tend to diminish greatly the possibility of accidents on Federal airways. Burdell L. Springer of the aeronau- tical department, under whose direc- tion the lecture was presented, gave an explanation of the various regula- tions for increasing safety as set-up by the department of commerce. This description was given concurrently with the film, "Safety on the Federal Skyways., A detailed and comprehensive re- view was made of the multifarious technical duties incurring many weeks of preparation which lie behind the organization and the creation of a finished airway. The first duty en- tailed, as explained by Mr. Springer, is the preliminary plotting of a new air route by survey, construction, and radio experts. This is effected by flying over the general territory proposed to pick out the best flying country from the air- man's standpoint. A Department of Commerce plane flies back and forth along this route examining each pos- sible location for emergency landing fields and rotating light beacons. 3 Mr. Springer stated that the test of a field surface consists of driv- ing over it in an automobile at about 30 miles an hour. If this can be done without discomfort to passen- gers, the surface is considered smooth enough for airplane landings and takeoffs. This lecture disclosed how much more closely the aeronautical indus- try is controlled than is popularly be- lieverJ.. of Michigan; Sen. Keyes of New Twins Are Born Two Weeks Apart POLKTON, N. C., Jan. 16. - (AP) - Dr. J. M. Boyce reported today the birth of two children two weeks apart, one in 1935 and the other in 1936, to Mrs. Clyde Sikes, farm resident of Anson County. On Dec. 29, Dr. Boyce said, he was called to the Sikes home and delivered a pound and a half boy who lived only 55 hours. On Jan. 11, the second child was born, a two pound girl. DEBATERS TRY-OUT Answering to the call of the debate schedule, more than 50 students turned out yesterday afternoon for the varsity debating try-outs which were held in the Alpha Nu and Adel- phi Rooms in Angell Hall.
