Einstein's Relativity
Theory Divided in 2 Parts
New York, Dec. 27 (ft Einstein's relativity theory is divided
Into two parts, special, written in 1805 and general, written in
1950.
The special theory pointed out that everything in the universe
Is in rapid motion and that motion increases the mass oi any
body. He said it is not possible
to measure both the speed and
the mass, or weight, at any giv
en instant. So he wrote general
mathematical laws to cover this
trouble. These showed the possi
bility that time is not the same
in different parts of the unl
verse.
General relativity was the
outgrowth of the early studies.
General relativity rewrote New
ton's gravitational laws in a ma
thematical form, so that it
wasn't necessary to measure and
weigh to calculate what was
happening.
Einstein's laws agree with
Newton's so far as gravitation's
effects on earth are concerned
But Einstein's laws said that
when gravitation is stronger, as
in the sun and stars, some things
happen that don t occur on earth
Light, he said, would be bent
more near the sun's gravitation
al pull than had been expected
from Newton's laws. Light
the sun has a longer wave length
than on earth, that is, light is a
bit redder there.
Years after Einstein wrote
these gravitational laws, they
were verified during an eclipse
of the sun, by discovering that
the rays of light passing near the
sun really bent as Einstein theo
rized. That is more than Newton
predicted.
Einsteins general relativity
theory also led him to claim that
space itself is curved. That has
not been verified by observa
tion. Einstein has said that the
way gravitation acts is partly
aue to ine curvature of space.

New Storm Coming
With Wind and Rain
More storms are in the offing,
reports the weather bureau.
Fresh to strong southerly and
southwesterly winds are predict
ed for tonight and a blustery
day, Wednesday.
The two holidays were also
windy and showery following
cold temperatures Christmas eve.
Rainfall for the month to date
is behind normal, however, 4.40
inches being measured against
the normal of 5.37 to date. The
Willamette river continued to
register between the five and six
foot mark, Tuesday, the local
gauge reading 9.4 feet.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 27 (IP)
The Universities of Nebraska
and Oregon have signed for a
two-game football series. Ne
braska Athletic Director George
(Potsy) Clark said today the
Huskers will meet Oregon at Eu
gene September 27, 1052. Oregon
will play in Lincoln either in

Nebraska can work out its
schedule.
Baby Drinks Stove
Oil No III Effects
The stove oil looked good
enough to drink. Besides it was
in a whiskey bottle, and that
kind of bottles were to drink out
of, weren't they?
So Richard Joncsburg, one
year old, tilted the bottle and
drank.
First aid found that Richard
had suffered no Tcally bad ef
fects, but was pretty sleepy from
the fumes. So they just kept

financial condition of the city
listed as good.
The present deficit was listed

Financial Chairman Delbert
Scott told council members that
the auditing firm had recom
mended disposing of some spe

bookkeeping needlessly cumber
some.
Councilmen also heard a let
ter from the state sanitary board
of their intention to soon pre
pare a final order for abatement
of polution from the city being
dumped into the Santiam river.
The city now has under draft
a complete sanitary system to

Japan Shaken
By New Quakes
Tokyo, Japan, Dec. 27 U.R A
new earthquake shook the area
north of Tokyo today in the
wake of heavy shocks yesterday
that killed eight persons, injur
ed 50 and damaged 2,500 hous
es. All of the shocks were felt in
Tokyo but there were no cas
ualties here and no damage oth
er than a few broken windows.
Heaviest hit were the cities of
Ustonomiya, and Imaichi, 70
miles north.
At least, two standing freight
trains were derailed and fis
sures as long as 90 feet opened in
the ground in the area of the
two cities.
The new shock struck the
same area at 6:56 p.m. (3:55 a.m
EST). Observers in the Utsono-
miya area said it was slightly
less violent than the strongest
of yesterday's tremors.
Reports from Imaichi, a city
of 17,000 said a family of four
was killed when a house was
buried by a landslide touched
off by the tremors. The shocks
continued throuigh last night
and the inhabitants slept in the
streets.
A report by the Kyodo news
agency said a 100-acre section
of a village in Niigata prefec
ture shifted slightly, splitting a
schoolhousc, in the wake of the
quakes.
The shocks were felt in Tokyo
and Yokohama, where some win
dows cracked. At Nikko, 100
miles north of Tokyo, 230 feet
of railroad track were twisted
by the shocks, disrupting train
traffic.
At the same time ancient Mt.
Aso in central Kyushu island
spewed forth huge boulders and
a cloud of ashes in a series of
six eruptions. The ashes rose
more than 600 feet and drifted
some 30 miles away.
