Dr. Shapley expressed his opinions
here before addressing the Technology

Study Space
"Within lx yenrs after the giant
telescope has been set up," Dr. Bhap
loy declared, "we may be able to say
accurately whether Bp ace Is curved
and definite or open and boundless.
"And this Is only part of what the
telescope will do. Astronomers will

cus than heretofore possible."
Dr. Shapley pictured verbally the
vast depths of the outer universe and

verses found In tha far reaches of
space through his survey of the Cos
mos. 1.10,000 New Galaxies
"We have in our survey of the

many of them larger than the earth's
Immediate universe, he declared.
"Twenty yeara ago tliere was no
astronomical theory, as we know" It.
Then the universe was a static thing;
today we consider It dynamic.
"Out of our research and the work
of mathematicians and physicist has
arisen a new picture of the universe
In which the laws of cause and ef

The doctor told of an exhaustive
study he had made of the newly dis

lt brightness more than 200,000
times. The usual exploding star In
creases only 1000 times."

to be Introduced today, which ItmiU
discussion to four hours.
One section of the bill opened for

plan came today from Senator Borah
aa congressional committees pushed
ahead with hearings on the adminis

The Idaho Republican Is a critic of
the aid proposed by tha Roosevelt ad
ministration for the aged needy,- He
l:?a called for liberalization of the
measure.
On the other hand, Secretary of
Labor Perkins said tha administra
tion plan was "not a 100 per rent
panacea" but a "sound basis" on
which tha government could later
enlarge "In the light of demand and
experience,"
Besides Borah, some other senate
Republicans were preparing to open
fire on the Roosevelt plan. Senator
Hastings (R.. Del.) took a lead In this
move with a statement today sug
gesting the Wagner-Lewis bill aa now
drafted might "fool" the country.

lation," Hastings said In a statement
Inserted In the Congressional Record

"It Is Important that we should not
fool ourselves or fool the country."
He said that while the administra
tion estimates there are 8,750.000
needy aged, and proposes to contrib
ute $19 a month to their support,
the bill carries only 912fi.000.000.

oven better than the one last Thurs
