presen t conditions Amer-

the recent acceleration of German
bombings of English communities
that rule could be altered to give
more help to the British the pres-
ident said the question was alto-
gether too general.
If some one could point out
specifically how it would be done
he said. It might be a different
story. But suggestions on that
point he said must come from
other people.
In response to another Inquiry l
he said it should not be taken Tor
granted that consideration was
being given to expanding Amer-
ican assistance to the British.
He challenged anyone to show
him the way planes could be built
faster and asserted that you c.wft
pass a bill or issue an order and
get planes the next day.

Ankara the Turkish capital Friday
night for other important meetings.
Observers believed the proposals
he carried from Berlin might involve
a request for a Turkish pledge not
to act if Bulgarian and German

In answer to queries however the
troubleshooter of the German diplo-
matic service said "I have no de-
claration of any kind to mak"."
Meanwhile. Turkey intensified de-
fense plans by preparing stricter
army controls over the civilian pop-

clared. “We shall not make war but.
if war comes to us we shall not
flinch. We are untied—we are
ready *

‘No one Is able to say that Russia
will accept easily a German attack
on Greece which would carry Ger-

However the consent of Russia
would not signify that Turkey does

Helium Hows Uphill

BY HOW ARD W*. RLAKESLEF I
Associated Press Science Editor
PHILADELPHIA—Discovery of
an amazing state of matter near
absolute aero where liquid helium
flows uphill in defiance of the
law of gravitation was described
to the American Philosophical
society here Friday.
The liquid flows vertically up-
ward on the walls of the glass
flask container. The speed of
i flow is six to seven inches a sec-
ond.
Equally paradoxical when the
I helium la allowed to flow out
of a rap through an extremely
fine glass pipe the smaller the
pipe h made the more liquid
flows out.
This behavior was described by
Dr. Henry A. Boorse assistant
professor of physics. Columbia
University Barnard college.
These experiments are done in
a dewar flask where the helium
is cooled by rapid evaporation in*
dured by a vacuum pump at-
• ached to the mouth of the flask.
