Tremendous possibilities are seen by scientists in the discovery
which V. K. Zworykin, Russian inventor, has embodied in a new
washing machine. By ' combining photoelectric cells with radio
vacuum tubes Zworykin, observers say, has succeeded in "designing
a machine which can be started merely by waving the hand. This
simple gesture throws a shadow into device at top, resulting" in a
hower of electrons in the tube, with the result that the circuit is
closed in the machine's, motor and the,apparatus started. Zworykin
is seen giving a demonstration in New. York.
State officials," volunteers and
American Red Cross workers are' ,
relieving the distress in Yazoo
City. Miss., where several were
killed and more than 30 injured
when a tornado swept over the
tection,' doing terrific 'property
damage. Buildings were unroof
ed, houses blown over and shat
tered ,trees uprooted and water
mains burst by the disturbance
as. these photos show.
