DEC. 27, 1947 HZHALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH ALLS, OREGON PAOC TRXCS "Einstein's New Theory Would Be Greatest Scientific Achievement In History If it Could Be Proved WIW YORK, Duo. n (" Dr. Al bert Ilni4ln, whose theory of rela tivity helped open up the whole vast field ol atomic, research, hu put forward an even more sensational theory. Ha calli it " generellaed theory Ol gravitation.1 It U a mathematical description of Uit mystery ol gravity tha com mon force that keepa our leet on the floor and rulea the movement of the stars. If It can oe proved. It will be come a "uulverml law" and. In Ui , view of oUier scientists, will aland aa Uie highest aclenllllc achieve ment of all time ' It would explain every physical motion In the universe, from the liuide of an atom to the enormoua aalaalea of outer apace. It would crown wlih aucceia the life work of Einstein, who hu apenl the lut half of nta 10 yeara looguig tor the answer to thla ultimata prob lem, known to acience aa the "uni fled field theory.' It waa revealed to the world here yesterday on JO mimeographed pagee a mixture of typewritten worda and aqulygly mathematical symbols that aven scientists hesitat ed to Interpret. It waa the English translation of Einstein original Oermen. Einstein describe It a en exten sion of his relativity theory, and as quirk to point out that he has "not yet found a practical way to confront the result of the theory with esperlmental evidence" or In short, to prove It. When he published the "general theory of relativity" In 1916. Ein. slain suggested several actual lest that could be made to prove his Idea and which actually did prove them In 1M1. But thla new theory la apparently so abstract that Ein stein could net think of physical test for It. Einstein himself waa not present t ilia nubile announcement, which waa made at the opening of the an nual meeting if the American Asso- elation for the Advancement ol nci ence. The Princeton university press Doctor Soyt Glaucoma, Common Eye Condition, Very Dangerous By EDWIN P. JORDAN. M. D. Olaucoma Is one of the most com mon and serious ciuwi of blind ness. It U a particularly tragic con titlon because eye specialist say that It worst effect can be elimi nated or at least greatly reduced by early diagnosis and by starting proper treatment promptly. In oth er word this is a condition which If neglected or If treatment I not carefully followed Cause a progres ' elve losa of vision, not to mention the pain and other uncomfortable aymplomi. There are several varleUea of glaucoma recognised by medical men. One of them la acute glau coma which generally begins with severe pain In one eye rather than tn both. Both eyes water and the affected eyeball looks Inflamed or Infected. Swelling of the eyelid Is common. Pour MJor Type la most cases the cause cannot be discovered though It la often as sociated with hardening of the ar- Moonshiner's r Death Charaed As Murder ' ORAKTS PASS. Dec. 11 11 A murder charge has been filed against Prank Crawford Paul. 44, In the gun death of a rural moonshiner who at first waa believed A suicide. Deputy Sheriff Louis Rlnguette as Id Paul waa arraigned yesterday and held In jail without ball In the shooting of Bird McOuIre Wilson. 4, a neighbor In the Missouri fist district south of hem. Rlngiietle said Paul admitted he had a rifle with him while drinking with companions at Wilson's cabin i Friday. The deputy eald, however, that Paul Insisted he did not shoot Wilson but that he had gone to the cabin Baturday, placed Wilson's - rifle on the body when he found him dead and left without notifying police. The shrrlff reopened the case up cn discovering that the gun on the body had the trigger safety on a locked position.

These are trie acute Inflammatory, the chronic In- chronic simple types. Olaucoma comes principally to people between it and 10 and Is little more common In women than In men. The acute Inflammation usually subsides and gradually be come chronic. The so-called "abso lute" glaucoma la merely the final stag of a glaucoma which haa not been successfully treated. In this disease It Is extremely Important to make a diagnosis and begin treatment early. When this la done the eye can be saved In al most all cases. Certain drugs are extremely helpful In the early stages, though they may have to be continued more or leas In definitely. Total blindness can occur. Por all thee reasons, there arc few eon dltlona known In which It la mora important to make an early dlag nosis, start proper treatment promptly, and continue It without let up. The Dorter Answers QUESTION: I have read about people having a malignant growth from small moles. Could you tell me If this la truer ANSWER: It 1 true of some kind of moles and not of others, It at often recommended that those which can become malignant and ar located on places likely to be Irritated by rubbing be removed This, however, should be done only under the very best of advice. (RAVE ROOBY-TRAP SINGAPORE, Dec: 17 (Al A booby-trap mine exploded today In the midst of mourners gathered '. about a grave at Ipoh, capital of . Perdak state, and killed three of - them. Twenty ethers were wounded. Police aald Communist terrorists i hsd planted the booby trap, only , two feet away from the grave. It apparently waa an anti-lank mine. Sea the Latest Power Farming Methods, John Dcere-Caterpillar Day, Jan. 4 Crater Lake Machinery Co. presented the paper. II 1 publish ing It February as an added chap ter In Einstein's own book, "The Meaning of Relativity.'' Einstein I now professor of malhematle at the Institute for advanced study at Princeton, a non-university group for fundamental research. At the sta.'t of his paper, Eln stein explains hl aim: I shall try to present an attempt at the solution of this problem (the unified field theory, which appears to me highly convincing, although du to mathematical difflcultlea I have not yet found a way to con front tlie result of the theory with experimental evidence. Beveral turns before. Einstein hu thought he nad the answer, then dlarardrd his Ideas a faulty. But now his friends think he haa ac tually discovered It, the magazine Scientific American said In a paral lei article. He is said to have told close associates that he regard 11 u hi greatest achievement," the maga una said, "lie Is reported to have given eulhultle blackboard ex planations of his equations. But proof, If the theory can be proved, may ure yeara, and any practical use may take years longer. In earlier theories. Einstein linked apace-and-time, matter-and-energy, and gravitatlin-and-lnertla, aa all parts of a single concept. But one great force was leu out clectromagnetism. Thla la what create "electricity" and It Is, like gravitation, an Invisible force field that can act at a distance. The new theory now Include elec- tromsgneiUm, end It and gravita tion are now viewed aa two forma of one overall force. In hu general theory of 1915. Ein stein showed by mathematics that gravitation and Inertia were equiva lent. This theory wa proved when astronomers w-re able to detect the sun's gravity bending light from a dlrianl star. In the earlier special theory of relativity In lo, Einstein had shown that space and time. Instead of being separate, were both parte of a "space-time continual." A one result of the IftOS theory, Einstein wrote an equation saying that matter could be converted Into energy a fantastic amount of en ergy. It seemed only a scientific curl oslty until some matter uranium m.s ss turned Into energy 4S vears later over Hiroshima. No on knows what It will take to prove Einstein' new theory, Or how long. . or where. Most Autos Are Pre-War, Says Wilson WASHINGTON, Dec. J7 on The head of General Motor figure that around 64 to 00 per cent of autoa now running are pre-war. Charles E. Wilson, Disking that estimate, added: "The used cars ar atlll overpriced a compared to pre warIf you put the dollar back In It purchaalng power with relation to a new car." Wilson waa Interviewed by edi tors of U. S. New and World Re port, weekly news magazine pub lished here. It copyrighted the ar ticle. Hotter reel Among other thing he said he expects the next new development In the automobile will be "the use of high-octane fuel with more ef ficient engines." Another way to save fuel would be to lessen a ear's weight, he said. "If you can take weight out, make the ear Just aa good a performer and Just aa con venient for riding." Wilson aald he doesn't expect any radical or revolutionary changea In rare In the next few years. He aald also he doesn't expect there will ever be a leas-than-11000 car again.

Strangers Survive Chicago CHICAOO, i Stranger are showing Chlcsgoans how to get across a street In one piece. Of the 304 pedestrians killed In traffic here In the first nine months of IM9, only nine were from out of town. Which caused Capt. Michael Ahern of the trafflo force to conclude: "Visitors, being unaccustomed so our tralflo habit, apparently ok serve greater caution whan cross ing our streets." Speaking generally, Wilson said that 1990 should be another good year for business. If nothing hap pen to scare American buyers. DEPENDABLE CLEAN 9 -ALSO- HEATING EQUIPMENT WILLIAMS OIIOMATIC H. C.
