of the unification of China and the

they encounter . little difficulty

anxious to learn something about

there Is no intention of embrac

' A few weeks ago two field
agents ran into a group of radical

That Is being

pIor a while Mary Itrlan, for one,
was beginning to resemble a hot

the sunshine.
That was why going on location
for "Tho Virginian." up in the hot
open spaces of northern California,
was like a lark to her. It wna her

NEW YORK In his quest
for speed, man has succeeded in
riding u self-made tornudo.
That, says iJr. .O, 11. I'egrarn,
Columbia university physicist, is
what tho recent llrltlsh flight at
368.8 miles an hour amounted to.
Anyone who hus seen a tor
nado with a force capable of driv
ing a straw into a plank, can
reullze the Kpeed attained by A.
H. Orlebar, captain of the iirltisli
Schneider cup team, as ho over
aged 357.7 miles an hour In four
successive spurts over Culshot.
About the only difference was
that Orlelmr'H piano created its
own "tornado." in this instancj
culled air resistance. A real tor
nado has a calculated velocity of
about 400 miles an hour near the
vortex. . That's how fast tho fun
nel whirls around.
Jn Orlebar's flight the piano had
the velocity, but if tho pilot had
stuck his hand out of the cockpit
the consequence probably would
have been the sumo as when u
twister hits a fence post.
Orlebar's speed was approxi
mately a mile in 10 seconds.
"It wouldn't bo safe to travel
In anything faster than seven miles
a second' says Dr. I'egram, who
Is doan of Columbia's engineering
school. "Tho traveler would fly
off the earth Into Infinity." And,
he mlgjit havo added, eternity.
Tho all-time, open speed record
of tho universe see is to bo held
by light, which travels at ubout
1 86,000 miles a second.
. Tho alpha raps of radium are
pretty fast but they leap into
spaco . at only approximately one
twentieth ' of light's velocity.

"Or to put tho matter In another
