Most schoolboys would react with surprise it told that gravity is still one of the most puzzling of natural forces. They would de-clare that Sir Isaac Newton had settled all that when, after watch-ing the falling apple, he stated a theory that may be by explaining it as a fact that "everything that goes up mustj come down." However, Albert Einstein, frizzle-- haired, unpretentious scientist, ranked as among the greatest in the world, and a key figure in the development of atomic power, wasn't content to leave it at that. EINSTEIN, after a lifetime of work, had made a great discovery a discovery he believes will ex-plain the mystery of gravitation. One of the greatest of the scien-tific enigmas, gravitation keeps humans from floating off the earth, keeps the earth and other planets spinning always in the same path around the sun. According to the new Einstein theory, which was announced by the Princeton university press, all the basic physical laws would be ex-plained in terms of gravitation. It is an attempt to describe in one law everything that goes on every-where from the inside of one atom to the limits of the universe. Einstein has been trying to do that for 30 years. If Einstein is right, he may hold the key that will unlock all the secrets of the universe. LIKE RELATIVITY, the new theory is expressed in mathemat-ics. The heart of the explanation of gravity is four " equations, given in letters or symbols, not numerals. There was no explanation ofi what the symbols mean, but no physicists were ready yet to try to talk publicly about the new theory. It still had to be tested to see whether it covers all the known laws or observations about the way matter and energy and gravitation behave. TAXATION: A Warning HEALTH BILL: Changes Planned There was little likelihood that it would amount to anything in the long run since the bill seems fore-doomed to failure but Oscar Ewing, federal security adminis-trator, let it be known he will rec-ommend some changes in the ad-ministration's medical - insurance bill now before congress. EWING'S conviction that the measure as drawn could stand some revision came after he ob-tained a personal insight into the socialized health program as prac-ticed in England and other Euro-pean countries. Ewing said his recommenda-tions were not completely formu-lated, but indicated there would be a provision in the bill to re-duce the opportunity for collusion between patients and doctors to augment medical fees. The approach under considera-tion by the U.S. survey group is to require the patient to pay a part of the cost of the medical service not to a doctor, but to an insur-ance fund. AS THE U.S. BILL is now drafted, doctors would be compen-sated in any or all of three ways a per capita payment irrespec-tive of service, a straight salary, or a fee basis. However, it might very well be much ado about nothing, as it seemed ' apparent neither the peo-ple of the U.S., the medical profes-sion, or a sufficient number of con-gressmen are in the mood for in-stallation of socialized medicine in the United States. This is a photograph of the new three-cen- t U.S. postage stamp which will be issued to commemorate the 100th anni-versary of .the birth of Samuel Gompers, great American la-bor leader. It will be printed in purple and will go on sale in Washington on January 27. STALIN: Big Birthday The d world went into a frenzy as each nation and satellite strove to outdo the others in paying tribute to Russia's Joseph Stalin on his 70th birth anniversary. THE RUSSIANS were in their usually rare form, using the oc-casion to hurl a thunderous de-mand for peace at the world. In order to achieve it, they would set It would be charged to politics and an effort to smear the "Fair Deal" program, but house GOP leader Joseph W. Martin struck a logical note when he warned that a tax increase in 1950 might throw the nation into an economic "tail-spin- " and cost millions of workers their jobs. MARTIN took a jibe at President Truman's indication that some ex-cise taxes might be lowered by declaring: "It appears Mr. Truman is about to fly a kite with a tail on it." That referred to previous state-ments by administration leaders that they knew of no way to avoid a deficit without higher taxes. THE PRESIDENT'S PROPOSAL was referred to as a "package deal" which Martin said congress would reject. The plan would sug-gest lopping 600 million dollars off the excise levies, but would call for a multi-billio- n dollar increase in income taxes. Martin made it clear that he would go along on the excise tax slash, but that he and fellow Re-publicans would do everything pos-sible to prevent any increase in income taxes. THE REPUBLICAN LEADER was on good tactical ground for the simple reason that 1950 is a congressioanal election year and many Democrats would feel com-pelled to go along with the GOP to an anti-ta- x hike fight. Has Everything HUNGARY: Off-Limi- The United States, irked and with patience worn thin, placed Communist-controlle- d Hungary off limits for Americans traveling abroad. The action was taken because the Hungarian government hss paid no attention to U.S. demands that Robert A. Vogeler. an officipl of the International Telephone r Telegranh corporation had not been released after his arrest on November 18. At that time, several other Americans were taken Into custody by the Hungarians. The American note placing the travel-ba- n on Americans to Hun-gary again demanded Vogeler's release and reserved the right to claim damages for any injuries he may have suffered. Although the U.S. protest was di-rected only to the Vogeler case, a state deoartment spokesman said that it applied also to the ar-rest of Israel Jacobsen. head of the American joint distribution coTimittee's Hungarian office. It was a strong note and indi-cated the temper of the U.S. state department, but its effect could be determined only in the release or further detention of Vogeler and his imprisoned CUPID: Eusy fellow Cupid was a very busy fellow indeed as the holiday season came and went. And most of his activity was centered in the upper brackets of U.S. celebrities. Hardly had he sat down to rest after bringing n W. Barkley and Mrs. Hadley together at the altar, when he was up and off again, this time to bring about the union of New York Mayor O'Dwver and fashion stylist Eliza-beth Sloan Simpson. This romance culminated with z, wedding in Florida. BUT the little fellow with the wings and the bow and arrows wasn't having any rest. With the ink barely dry on the press an-nouncements of Mayor O'Dwyer's wedding, headlines carrying a real-ly romantic wallop were scream-ing again. And this time, Cupid had hit where it hurt. Thousands of movie-struc- k females across the nation, with a goodly number of them be-ing Hollywood's own fair and famous, were shocked, then grieved as they learned that long-time movie idol Clark Gable had wed. HANDSOME, n Gable had taken to wife the widow of the late Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. She was the former Lady Ashley. Gable gave his age as 48, his bride said she was 39. The marriage was the fourth for each. up, they said, annual awards for those doing the most to preserve peace and to confound the "war mongerers." That category in-cluded, of course, all nations and governments out of sympathy with the Soviet aim of expansion. Almost fantastic was the extent to which the went in adulation of Stalin. Thou-sands of parcels and crates, train-load- s "f merchandise, whole ex-position halls of trinkets and pic-tures, factories and socks, books, and horses, wine and toys, delica-cies and cars were tunneled toward Moscow from the Elbe to China, from the Arctic to the Black sea. NO ONE MAN could ever use all the gifts, or read all the hon-ors. No one man could ever dis-tribute them. What it was all worth was anyone's guess, but y millions of dollars. Eastern Germany alone col-lected 70 freight cars of gifts one for each year as a sort of whimsical reparations. The western world paid little heed, to the Soviet chest-beatin- g over a desire for peace and, so far as the press recorded, England was the only nation among the North Atlantic pact signatories to send congratulations to Stalin on his birthday. But for the Russians, them-selves, to most of whom Stalin is more legendary than real, the thrilling, dramatic high spot of the anniversary celebration came in Moscow when Stalin, himself, walked out on a stage to let the people see him. INDONESIA: Uneasy Freedom The United States of Indonesia was an established fact. It had be-come formally free after 300 years of Dutch rule. But the birth of freedom was no routine, casual affair Just like the case with most republics, the birthday was grim and turbulent. Even as freedom was declared, the new nation deployed troops and maintained a state of siege in wide areas to prevent anticipated disturbances. IT WAS EXPECTED that Com-munists and some would attempt to make trouble for the new republic and to embarrass it by creating disorders. Hundreds of troops patrolled the streets of Batavia and machine-gu- n posts were set up at intersec-tions. Dutch troops throughout the country were confined to barracks for two days to prevent clashes. A UNITED NATIONS commis-sion set a truce in the islands which ended the bloody fighting between the Indonesians and Dutch, and also supported a n roundtable conference at the Hague last fall which led to the granting of Indonesian inde-pendence.

BERLIN: Just in Case Although an announcement made it clear that no emergency was ex-pected, the United States army or-dered training fijr all American troops in Berlin. "Riot control, or street fighting, is what troops in Berlin presum-ably would have to face if any-thing would develop," said Col. Julian Ewell. He added that trouble might come from the east-ern (German) police, or anywhere. BROADWAY AND MANSJREET Pierre, Great Hunter, Found Something He Could Not Kill By BILLY ROSE From the province of Manitoba in Canada comes the strange tale of Pierre Montevilain, the hunter.

Pierre, a man In almost medieval splendor fa a chateau overlooking Lake Winnepeg Only two things interested him hunting and drinking, and the measure 01 the man was that he was more concerned with the potency than tne taste of his liquor, and cared little what it was he shot as long as ne made the kill. When he was forty, he married Emilie d'Arbesine, a girl ot good family from the Winnipegosis dis-trict, and when she presented him with a son a year later he. toasted his heir in Hudson Bay rum and pre-dicted that he, too, would some day be a great hunter. His wife, how-ever, hated the continual killing, and as the child grew older she was happy that he t" ''1 efficient instrument of destruc-tion. "Tomorrow," he said, "we will go hunting." The youngster said nothing, but later asked his mother what he should do. "You must go with your father," said Emilie. "You told me that when people die their souls go into animals," said the boy. "Wouldn't it be like killing a person?" "Your father thinks differently." "I won't shoot to hit anything," said the lad. Pierre, who had been drinking on the porch, overheard the conversa-tion. Addressing himself to his son, he said, "There will be no more women's talk. You will become a man and a hunter like your father. Tomorrow we go to the woods, but your first lesson will be tonight. Take your rifle and shoot the fawn." Terrified, the boy nodded and went to the barn. He prodded the fawn with a stick and tried to frighten it into the forest, but the pet, thinking it was a new game, took a few playful leaps and then frisked back for more sport. Finally, the boy placed the medal-lion of St. Francis around the fawn's neck. It needed divine pro-tection more than he. HALF AN HOUR later, Pierre back on the porch, was roused from showed no inclina- - Bl"y Kose tion for the hunt. To encourage his love of wild life, she gave him a silver medallion of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of birds and beasts, and hung it around his neck on a thin gold chain. "I've heard it said that when people die their souls enter other living things, some-times an animal," she told him. A FEW MONTHS before the boy's ninth birthday, his father found a new-bor- n fawn in the forest and presented it to his son. The lad named it Francois, bottle-fe- d it until the shakiness went out of its legs, and trained it until it fol-lowed him around like a puppy. On his birthday a jew weeks later, Pierre gave his son another present, a specially - constructed rifle, small enough for a boy to carry but in all other respects an his rum by a shot and walked out to the barn, certain that the boy, like a true Montevilain, had obeyed his order. Instead, on the earth floor he found his son's body, blood ooz-ing through the shirt, while the fawn, the medallion dangling from its neck, stood near by. Crazed, Pierre picked up the rifle and pumped the remaining bullets into the animal's heart. Then i he tore the talisman from the 1 ' cass. ? Next day the boy was b: with the medallion of St. Fra again around his neck, and i " the funeral Emilie went back to own village. From then on, the great hur, er became the great butcher.

Wilkinson Corner i "TiHERE'S A CURIOUS TWIST to this case, inspector," George Jackson, president of the Medville National Bank was saying. "Anthony Page,' who deposited $25,000 with us on Monday, de-cided to use his right name at the last moment." "His right name? What do you mean?" "Anthony Page is a fiction writer. His real name is Edward Thurston. Recently a distant uncle died and left him a small fortune $25,000 -- Minute to be exact. Page 3 FlCtl0n c o n s u 1 1 e d me ! about investments. ' I advised him not to invest in anything while the market was in its present unstable condition. He agreed, and decided to deposit the money in our bank until things looked better. "He came in early Monday morn-ing and made the deposit, decided to use his real name of Edward Thurston at the last moment. On Wednesday, a check for $5,000, signed by Edward Thurston, was presented and cashed by one of our tellers. THE FIRST CALL was on a man Simons in the suburban town of Sharonfield. Mrs. Simons answered their knock. "Harry is away. Is there any-thing I can do?" Following previous Instruc-tions from Clifford, Jackson said: "We made a mistake in his monthly statement last week. Do yon happen to know whether he has it handy?" "It may be on his desk. Will you come inside?" They followed her into the house. There was a small den off the liv-ing room containing a desk. Mrs. Simons began opening drawers and peering into them. For a mo-ment Inspector Clifford stood idly by. Then suddenly he stepped for-ward and snatched something from one of the drawers. Before the startled eyes of Mrs. Simons and the astonished gaze of President Jackson, he strode over to a window, studied the thing. "Simon's our man," he said. "This proves it. Now" He broke off as the front door opened and closed. As Clifford finished speaking, Simons, a tall spare man, appeared in the doorway, stopped and looked about in bewilderment. "I'm Inspector Clifford of police headquarters," the officer said, stepping forward. "Simons, I arrest you for forging Edward Thurston's name to a check for $5,000." Simons' eyes grew wide. The color drained from his cheeks. For a moment he stared as though struck, then impulsively turned and bolted. Anticipating the move, In-spector Clifford leaped foi ward. His fingers caught hold of the tall man's collar, and yanked him backward. "Quite simple when explained," Clifford was raying later. "Simons probably needed money. He was in the bank when Page was making his deposit, and picked up the blot-ter Page had used when signing his name. It was a new blotter, and the imprint therefore was defi-nitely easy to copy for forgery purposes." "I have questioned Thurston He says he left for Chicago directly after depositing the money, and swears he told no one about his decision to use his real name. He had signed no checks against his account! .Inspector Kent Clifford reflec-tively lighted a cigar. "You say that Thurston made his deposit early on Monday morning?" "As far as I can find out," the president offered, "there were only two men in the bank while Thurston was here." He handed the officer a slip of paper. "Here are their names and addresses. Both are well known to all of us, men of high repute." t 4 - v i5 1 Simon's eyes grew wide . . . for a moment he stared as though struck, then impul-sively turned and bolted. Inspector Clifford studied the names. "Now tell me what your clerks were up to." "Nothing unusual. Getting things ready to start the day.
