D. 79, Burying City WASHINGTON. D. 0., (Spl). Why does Vesuvius erupt? Where Is stored her fiery fury during quiet periods? Has she caverns leading off from the main tube, full of restless energy which man may tap. releas ing pent-up danger, just as a safety yajre lets off excess steam from a locomotive's boiler? Can that ener by be harnessed to grind men's grain, heat their homes, and light their streets? 'These are questions which dar ing scientists, entering the hissing mouth of the monster, recently have sought to answer," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. O. head quarters of the National Geographic Society. "To the people of Naples, whose close-grouped houses and fruitful vineyards lie within hiking distance of the 'nervous' volcano, the Investigation holds profound inter est. Blew Off Its Head In A. D. 79 "At the beginning of the Christian era, Vesuvius, having lain dormant for centuries, was ovorgrou-n with shrubbery Inside and - outside its crater; and In 79, a terrific explosion blew off a large section of the cra ter's rim. Vesuvius belched out mil lions of tons of ash and dust, bury ing Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Sta blae to a depth in some places of 60 feet. Before the Inhabitants had op portunity to flee, suffocating fumes ; rushed down the slopes and brought death to thousands. Condensing steam fell like torrents of rain on hot volcanic dust, forming a boiling mud which ran down the mountain sides In heavy masses. Strangely, there Is no evidence of lava streams during this eruption. Yet, so com pletely was the region covered that for centuries the locations of the buried cities were unknown. "The crater behaved treacherous ly for a thousand years, then seem ed to die. After lying quiet 600 years. 1 sprang to life in 1631. Again It blew off its 'head,' reducing the cone's height by 825 feet height equal to a modern 35-story building! During this eruption, rivers of fiery lava screamed down the mountain's sides. Nearly 18.000 people were killed. . Scientists Bt utllng source or Vol canic Force '"The latest severe eruption, in 1006. was carefully watched by sci entists. Three distinct phases of ae tivlty were noted: progressive rising of heaving lava, which waa ultima tely ejected, together with volumes of smoke and ash; a rushing out of great quantities of gas, made pos sible after the volcano had cleared Its throat of liquid lava: and finally emission of choking dust and ash which formed heavy black clouds, the strongly electrified particles of which were held close to earth as by a magnet. "If the central tube of Vesuvius extends straight into the earth, there la probably little that scientists can do to prevent future eruptions. But. aay the Investigators, it Is possible that the tube 'goes Inward aslant, or that a curvature in Its long neck causes lava to clog the throat until terrific pressure Is gathered, result ing In upheavals such as thui nf 70. 131, and 1006. m either case, at tempts may be made to Up the tube, releasing pressure before an explos ion occurs. Then, if volcanic action can be controlled, more tunnels may be drilled Into the crater's sides, to take out natural stenm. either for generating elpctrlcal riieify or for heating purposes. "At Larderello. near Fiance, vol canic formations have been tapped successfully for their natural vapor since steam from some 'wells' has a temperature of asfl degrees Farenhelt, and rushes out under tre mendous pressure. Dynamos, drtven by the volcanic steam energy, gener ate electricity which is used for miles around. "Near Sonoma. California, gevsers are harnessed In a manner somewhat similar to that xised on their volcanic- cousins at Larderello. They supply electric power and lipht for the neighboring region."

Burke gave an lTluminating discourse last night on the theme "America's coming dictator." at the First Bap- tlat church, where Mr. Burke, wttn his party, are conducting a series ox special meetings. Mr. Burke said "The spirit of dictatorship Is In the air. everywhere, people are locking lor a superman to lead them out of their economic woes. If they should find such a man and he would guarantee them material success and security, they would worship him. "However," said Mr. Burke, "I do not believe that the American people would ac cept a dictatorship like those in Europe. "People are clamoring for a super man, largely because we have failed to guarantee the right conduct ot men by our present system. Democ racy Is falling, not because the prin ciple Is wrong, but because men fail to take upon themselves the neces sary responsibility for such a sys tem." continued Mr. Burke.
