Hoover Plans Active Role in Fall Elections
Former President Herbert Hoover told a Pittsburgh reporter he would take an active part in the fall elections and would likely address campaigns for Republican senatorial gubernatorial and congressional candidates. He declined to discuss specifics or Pennsylvania issues, saying he prefers speeches to express his thoughts, and said he would stay in Chicago for two days before returning home to California to fish for trout. He cautioned that business conditions may improve after the election if it goes right.

Whipple Measures Air Density At 70 Miles Up
Harvard observer Dr. Fred L. Whipple used meteors photographed at 70 miles altitude to estimate air density there. He found density is about one millionth of sea level, causing meteors to slow by roughly one mile per second as they traverse the upper atmosphere. He also discusses temperatures, noting air may reach boiling point around 40 miles up and then drop rapidly above that level.
