A person whose license has been revoked is not plltrihia tn apply for -a new license for one year unless tne convicting Judge recommends reinstatement, New bry explained. First offenders, particularly those who must drive to make their living, are " fre quently recommended for partial restoration of privileges, usually subject to restrictions as to place, time, and vehicle which may be driven. The secretary emphasized that the license is automatically revoked on conviction and that a recommendation . for reinstate ment is in no case a permit to drive. ; Since the license cannot be restored until the require ments are met, a recommen dation from the court Is only the first step. It is when the holder of such a recommendation at tempts to apply for his new li cense that he discovers the work ings of the financial responsibil ity statute, designed to assure sat isfaction of damages to accident victims. It requires proof, either through adequate insurance cover age or the posting of bonds, of ability to satisfy judgments in the event of being held liable for an accident. If the offender had insurance in force, he usually finds his company has canceled his policy as a result of his con viction. If he applies for a new policy,, he discovers most com panies are equally reluctant to accept his business. Alternative Is "Risk Pool" ; Those who are unable to post cash bonds must take their prob lem to the "assigned risk" pool of insurance companies, which care- WALLPAPER AND PAINT " Largest 8'xsk In Douglas.

He calls it "a generalized theory of gravitation." ' It is a mathematical description of the mystery of gravity the common force that keeps our feet on the floor and rules the movements of the stars. If it can be proved, it will be come a "universal law" and, in the view of other scientists, will stand as the highest scientific achievement of all time. It would explain every phy sical motion in the universe, from the inside of an atom to the enormous galaxies of outer space. .- Would Crown Life It would crown with success the life work of Einstein, who has spent the last half of his 70 years looking for the answer to this ultimate problem, known to science as the "unified field theory." It was revealed to the world here on 20 mimeographed pag es a mixture of . typewritten words ' and squiggly mathematl cal symbols that even scientists hesitated to Interpret. It was the English translation of Einstein's original German. Einstein describes it as an ex tension of his relativity theory, and was quick to point out that he has "not yet found a practical way to confront the results of the theory with experimental evidence" or in short, to prove it Could Prove First Theory When he published the "gen eral theory of relativity" in -9-15, Einstein suggested several actual tests that could be made to prove his ideas and which actually did prove them in 1921. But this new theory is apparently so abstract that Einstein could not think of a physical test for it. Einstein himself was not pre sent at the public announcement, which was made at the opening of the annual meeting of the American Association for the ad vancement of Science. The Princeton University Press presented the paper. It is pub lishing it February as an added chapter in Einstein's own book, "The Meaning of Relativity." Einstein is now professor of ma thematics at the institute for ad vanced study at Princeton, a non university group for fundamental research. . , Aim Explained At the start of his paper, Eln- 'Yes, your honor. That is I've been before you once before. You married me." stein explains his aim: "I shall try to present an at tempt at the solution of this pro blem (the unified field theory), which appears to me highly con vincing, although due to mathe matical difficulties I have not yet found a way to confront the results of the theory with exper imental evidence." Several times before, Einstein has thought he had the answer, then discarded his ideas as faul ty. But now his friends think he has actually discovered it, the magazine Scientific American said in a parallel article. He is said to have told close associates that he regards it as his greatest achievement," the magazine said. "He is reported to have given enthusiastic black board explanations of his equa tions." Proof to Take Years But proof, if the theory can be proved, may take years, and any practical use may take years longer. In earlier theories, Einstein linked up space-and-time, mat-ter-and-energy, and gravitation-and-inertia, as all parts of a sin gle concept. But one great force was left out electromagnetlsm. This Is what creates "electricity" and it is, like gravitation, an invisible force field that can act at a dis tance. The new theory now Includes electromagnetlsm, and It and gravitation are now viewed as two forms of one overall force. In his general theory of 1915. Einstein showed by mathematics that gravitation and inertia were equivalent This theory was prov ed when astonomers were able to detect the sun's gravity being SLABW00D In 12-1 6 and 24 In. lengths OLD GROWTH FIR .

STENCH GRIPS TOWN WRIGHTSVILLE. Ga.. Dec. 29. UP) Wrightsville was a stink ing town last night more than 2,000 tons of fertilizer was on fire. The suffering citizens, their noses to the leeward, were pretty burned up too. The fire still smouldering to day sent billows of smake high in tne air ana couia oe seen ior miles. The smell moved far afield too. light from a distant star. Space, Time Related In the earlier special theory of relativity in 1905, Einstein had shown that space and time. In stead of being separate, were both parts of a "space-time con tinuum." As one result of the 1905 the ory, Einstein wrote an equation saying that matter could be con verted into energy a fantastic amount of energy. It seemed only a scientific cur iosity until some matter uran ium 235 was turned into energy 45 years later over Hiroshima. No one knows what It will take to prove Einstein's new theory.

The big labor organization men tioned increases oi l to 13 cent! an hour as a goal. The wage drive was outlined in the AFL publica tion, Labor's Monthly Survey. Increased wages are possible, the publication said, "without causing a general Increase in living costs" if management and labor work together to improve production efficiency." The article went on: "Some amazing results could be accomplished If workers were given week by week cost records, so they could see the results oi their efforts, and management agreed to share the savings with them, determining the Just wage Increase by collective bargaining negotiation. "At least a goal could be set of 7, 10, or 15 cents (an hour) more in wages through cost reduc tion. "We intend to go forward In 1950 to win further wage gains, cooperating with employers to cut costs wherever they are willing to make this possible. "By cooperation we mean a genuine joint effort based on sub mission of cost records; we do not mean acquiescence in employer dominated speedup schemes. The publication said that a 10 cent hourly wage Increase for all the nation's workers would boost consumer buying power approxi mately $8,000,000,000. It said this would Insure a good business year in 1950.
