...Senate, debating these nominations, would open a general attack upon President Hoover and his Administration's mild attitude toward water power regulation. The make-up of the new Commission became an all-important issue because its membership would determine long-range policies for dealing with the hydroelectric industry. Chief target of attack by insurgent Senators on the old Power Commission has been Frank C. Bonner, its executive secretary. He was accused of "inefficiency," of favoring license-seeking private power companies. Last week Montana's Senator Wheeler unsuccessfully tried to get the new commissioners to promise to dismiss Secretary Bonner. Stung...
Olshevsky Tube. A more immediately practical development was reported from the Sloane physics laboratory, Yale University. Dr. Dimitry E. Olshevsky announced that he has constructed a tube which will enable operators to localize X-rays better. When X-rays are produced by shooting electrons at a target, they radiate in all directions from their source. Some travel through the target, others back in the direction of the bombarding electrons. Present-day tubes have utilized the rays proceeding toward the electrons' source. These rays are not so intense as those proceeding away from the electronic beam. The source of their...

What became of the automobiles and the silk stockings for everybody...
With the second team's 30-yard line as a starting point, and the goal line as a final target, the University team spent 45 minutes in a lively scrimmage with the scrubs yesterday. Team A was given the ball throughout the entire session, while the Seconds served as buffers in what was doubtless meant to be a drive for a powerful offensive eleven...
