Governor Herbert Lehman of New York last week signed a law which requires every man, woman and child to supply samples of his blood whenever such blood tests are relevant to the prosecution or defense of a lawsuit. Such tests are sometimes the crux of legal actions to establish the paternity of a child. A few judges in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and South Dakota have on their own responsibility accepted blood tests as true evidence. But New York is the first state to incorporate the new science of serology in a statute and to recognize that there...
...recording station. Then come the S (Shear) waves which make about 3 mi. per sec., follow the same path as the P waves. Last come the L (Long) waves which ripple around Earth's surface at about 2 mi. per sec. The transverse shear waves are the crux of an unsettled controversy about the nature of Earth's core. Some observers affirm they have recorded shear waves passing through the core, believe therefore that the core is solid. Others are equally sure the core refuses to transmit shear waves, is hence molten-at a pressure...
...your finger on the crux of the matter when you state that the University contribution "is very meager if non-existent." You state "it is obvious that the entire annual income of the Buckley fund and the Cambridge Aid was not used."

...junked after the unexpected declaration of India's reigning princes at the First India Round Table Conference that they were willing to enter an All-India Federation with the plebeian native states (TIME, Dec. 1, 1930).

Finally the National Government smothered India's aspiration to rank beside Canada with a revised Federalization program called the White Paper. As the first step toward whipping this into legislative form the Linlithgow...
...crux of crisis since the Nazi blood bath had been reached (TIME, July 9). Either the pudgy, smudge-mustached Chancellor would kick out of his Cabinet such experienced non-Nazi statesmen as Vice Chancellor von Papen and Foreign Minister Baron von Neurath. after which he would go the whole Nazi hog alone, or else these "Balance Wheels" would be retained to steady his careening Government. In Berlin for some days von Papen had been considered politically dead. The strain of living under house arrest, never knowing when his guards might turn executioners, had made the Vice Chancellor's eyes...
