...formed under the guiding principle that the use of war as an instrument of national policy should be abolished. As a member of the committee, Judge Allen spoke all over the country and worked closely with chairman Salmon O. Levinson, who later strongly influenced the formation of the Kellogg-Briand pact making was a violation of international...
...Walt Disney produced his first Mickey Mouse cartoon, Plane Crazy. In the World Series, the New York Yankees walloped the St. Louis Cardinals in four straight, with Babe Ruth hitting three home runs in the final game. In August at Paris, the U.S. and 14 other nations signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact, solemnly renouncing war as an instrument of national policy. And in November, Alfred E. Smith, the only Roman Catholic ever nominated for President by a major U.S. political party, lost to Herbert Hoover in a landslide...
...shown that 50 miles above the pole, the air is warmer in winter ( - 38° C.) than in summer ( - 100° C.). In fact, the pole's winter air at this altitude is warmer than that over New Mexico in midsummer (75° C.). Last week Dr. Will Kellogg of Rand Corp. told a Los Angeles meeting of the American Geophysical Union that this paradoxical warmth comes from the recombination of broken oxygen molecules...
...Kellogg explained that when the sun's radiation hits the atmosphere 75 miles above the earth, it breaks up many two-atom molecules of oxygen into separate atoms. The air is so thin at that level that the lonely oxygen atoms can seldom get together and reunite to form normal molecules. When the long darkness of winter creeps over the north polar region, an area of abnormally low pressure develops at 30 to 40 miles elevation. It sucks air down from above, and with the air come oxygen atoms that were brought to the pole by the circulation...
What effect this polar heating has on the world's weather Dr. Kellogg does not know yet. He suspects that it may be connected with the sudden "explosive warmings" that mark the breakup of winter over many parts of the earth...
