The commission’s decision, the peti-
tion claims, disregards ths fact that
the eastern states comprise primarily
a manufacturing region, while the
west is an agricultural area. Trans-
portation conditions are so different
in the east and west that “what is
proper for one is not necessarily
proper for the other,” the railroads
contend.

A 13-year-old conviction against
J. Q. Boykin, alias Chief Jim. suburb-
an night spot owner, was dangled In
district court Thursday as attorneys
argued the defendant’s motion for a
new trial.
Judge Albert C. Hunt took the mo-
tion under advisement until next week
to permit a study of court decisions
i cited by both sides. Ho said the matter
will be set down for decision by agree-
ment.
Chief Jim was convicted in January.
1932. on a charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon growing out of the
shooting of two city men, and received
a year-and-a-day prison sentence. He
filed a new trial motion, but it was
never heard, presumably because
George Clark, trial judge, became in-
capacitated and died.
Dave Tant, attorney for the defend-
ant. argued the court lost jurisdiction
of the case when it failed to set the
motion down for a certain day and
pass on it. He cited one case in point,
holding that a court loses jurisdiction
where a long period of time elapses
between the verdict and final judg-
Fred Hoyt, assistant county attor-

court did not lose jurisdiction, and
that a successor judge, or any district

Herbert Agar, special assistant to the
United Steles ambassador to LoEidon,
recently told students at Clifton Col-
lege, Bristol, that our experts expected
the Germans to solve the problem of
employing atomic energy by midsum-
mer.
The uranium bomb is a minor
species of the atomic bomb and the
fact that it existed was carefully sup-
pressed. Correspondents who at-
tempted to describe its effects were
told that it would be dangerous to
draw the Japs* attention to experi-
ments in the use of such weapons.
Agar’s speech, which he meant to
be regarded as off the record, raised
a storm.

LONDON, July 19—(CDN)—One
at the strangest security leaks since
V-day in Burope was registered
Wednesday when an Australian RAF
officer broadcast a description of the
uranium bomb.
Speaking from Melbourne, Wing
Commander A. G. Pither of the RAAF
declared that if the war had lasted six
months longer, the Germans would
have employed a 24-pound uranium
disintegration bomb having the force
of a one-ton V-3 warhead. (
In other words, the explosive con-
tained in this bomb would have had
80 times as much shock power as the
most advanced explosives employed
