Fellow newspapermen see him as a candidate being groomed to succeed wily old Charles Michelson, 69. Democratic national pressagent...
They were the Democratic National Committee's brilliant chief press agent, Charles Michelson, whose first feat was to smear Hoover, and his G. O. P. counterpart, Franklyn Thomas Waltman Jr. Dark, 35-year-old Republican Waltman paid elaborate tribute to the libertarian legacy of Democratic Patron Saint Thomas Jefferson, worked himself into oratorical fervor: "We recall Jefferson's words tonight, not solely out of academic interest in a mighty battle which was won in behalf of the liberties of Americans, but because once again in this country, as abroad, freedom of press and freedom of speech is under...

...famed Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887, in which perpendicular beams of light were raced against each other, seemed to show that a light-carrying ether pervading all space did not exist. Fitzgerald, Larmor and Lorentz shored up the collapsing ether-concept by showing-theoretically-that a moving body must contract slightly in the direction of motion, that a moving clock would therefore slow down. Though imperceptible except at speeds approaching light's velocity (186,000 mi. per sec.), these changes would affect a Michelson-Morley apparatus just enough to cancel any possible observation of the ether-drift-by altering...
