Washington expects the Vickershum eommission to re port, when Congress gathers, on January 5. What seems good authority, says the commission will advise a compromise on beer, states 'that have no law against beer being allowed to have it. - That would be another noble experiment, carrying out the advice of Thomas Jefferson,- by the way. He wanted the gov ernment to encourage beer and resonunended a good English brewer to the legislature of Vir ginia. A hard fight by prohibition ists will precede any legalizing of beer. Russia started making tract ors and after much effort pro duces only 10 per day. Respect able American foes of the " Keels" laughed ha, ' ha, and said: "Those Russians can nev er do anything successfully." But those Russians hired an American engineer, Warren No ble, who changed the work from three shifts to one shift a day, and multiplied the out put by four. Forty tractors a day mean at least 12,000 a year. With two years' production, the Russians could plow 200,000,000 acres h year. Jtorc ,.yhqa.t.for..$lnmn- Russians arc patient.

WASIIINOTOV, Dec. 29. iff) The hue and cry of recent dayH over a third party movement ap peared considerably cooled today, ns political weathermen foresiiw n continuance until l!)32 at leau of thinRs much as they are now. An intensification or n spread of the independence of "the western republicans, who have already caused party heads much worry, apparently was read in the siwiis by Senator Borah of Idaho, one of their li'flders. As for a third party he FHirt: "I do not see any new party." , i ; ... Seen ItcaliRiiHicutt 4 "But," he added, "I do see some realignments which will be evi denced more in legislative matters than in open announcements upon th nfll'r nf nilllnr ImiHapD i nn- stituents. That has nlrenriv tnknn i place to a marked degree." The Western band appeared dis posed to follow In this both Korah and Senator Norris of. Nebraska, who has refused to leave republi can ranks to u third party. There were indications most of the inde pendents would remain within the fold until the 19S2 national con vention at least. Norris yesterday marie clear also he had not pro mised any support to Governor j Roosevelt or New York should the I democrats pick him for the presi dency. Norris to Stay Another "status quo" prediction came from Senator Moses, of New Hampshire, one of the republican party leaders, in a discussion of the row over Norris and Robert H. '. 1..UCAS, executive director of the ', republican national committee. j "My present opinion is Senator Norris will not be read out of the republican pa rt y and M r.

Jenkins handed down his decis ion six mouths from the inception of one of the bitterest legal fights In corporate history, a struggle of millions that was carried out first with proxies and then with law suits.

The judge said tin sheet and tube board of directors after they had approved the merger early this year, did not give adequate, in formation to their stockholders on the merger when they met last April and approved it.

By HOWARD BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor ei.KVKI.AND, Ohio, Dec. 29. (PI The artificially created life cell of Hr. Georite V. Crlle 1m an nttenipt to penetrate the myHtery of cancer. The Cleveland savant hroke hiH silence about the recent rumors of his discovery and reveal cd tiie secret today to the Aoieri can Association lor the Advance ment of Science. Crile's accomplishment (s te dcrihed most simply as breaking llumpty Uumpty to bits and put tint; liiin together again so that he uppears alive. The llumpty Dumpties he em ploys ure cells, tiny units forming bodies of animals, which are the prototypes of. all eggs. lie has tried this on brain, body nnd cancer cells, but the brain col. alone thus far has shown the mas ter like qualities necessary for the rejuvenation. Different Effect When cancer cells were used ,1 different effect wus found, oue whose significance has not been determined, for Crlle said this is a preliminary report. "This research," he said, "was undertaken for the purpose of dis covering some physical principle which might account for the con version of normal cells into cancer cells, that is, into cells the enery of which is used only for growth." This wild growth is the outstand ing characteristic of all cancer. Crlle said - he went to work on the principle that the fertilized eggs of. animals, the ovum, con tain elements that electrically are both positive and negative., Ho "postulated" that it the sub stances forming n livins cell were mixed together In an electrical so lution, called ap electroylte, these substances would organize them selves into a "unit which would present a cell-like form." Life Without Union In other words, something life like nilfht result without interven tion ot the usual union of male and female elements. tie separated brain cells Into their coiiBtltuont rats, proteins and ash. He found that only fresh brains retained the power to re unite, but that by preserving the futB In ether he could wait perhaps a month after death and still get the return. When ready the three brain sub stances were mixed in distilled water containing some salts, a lab oratory made substitute for the watery elements in which the brain colls normally live. The salts pro duced the electrical effects. In this water the scattered brain mutter reunited Into microscopic objects having the shape of cells. They grew like living things. Some times, Crile said, they did this by putting out buds and som-itimes by dividing, each artificial cell thus becoming two, just as In nature's oni I hod ot growth. They consumed oxygen nnd they gnve off carbon dioxide as do other living, breathing things. They showed the power of raphl movement, so that sometimes tt was difficult to keep them under tiie field of -the mlcroscoiie. They took "vital stains" which is a meth od of using dyos to make tiny ob jects visible. , WILL ROGERS HKVERLY HILLS, Cnl., Dec. 20. Si!p a lot in the papers about the split in tho Republi can parly over Norris. The Itepulilican nnd the Demo cratic parties both split. The Republicans have their splits riuht after ejections and Dem ocrats have theirs just before an election. .. (lot a lot of wires from big nnd little firms saying , they took the sunKcstiou, and told their people "they were not to bo fired" and they all wrote how pleased their help was. Now New Yenr is just as good a time to do it as Christmas was, so if you haven't told 'em, do so and everything will pick up and they will work better. 4U mm momim EMEU
