ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2—<ILE>— An "electronic eye” capable of piercing the dark and presenting inestimable possibilities as an aid to air and sea navigation, offense and defense in war time and to the astronomer and bacteriologist was introduced tonight before the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Developed in Radio Corporation laboratories by Doctors V. K. Zworykin and George A. Morton, the “eye” was asserted to have its greatest practicable possibilities as an interchangeable telescope or microscope.
In telescopic form, it is tubular, its objective end looking much like a camera lens, and its forward part like an old-fashioned stereopticon. The image strikes a photo-electric surface and passed into an electrical field which transposes infra-red (black) light, producing the image
of a smoke star’ f another vessel, Morton believt*
In war time, a landing field could be “illuminated” with infra-red light, making it invisible to the enemy but in clear relief to planes equipped with the electronic telescope.
Such “illumination” would mean only the Insertion of black filters in ordinary- flood lights.
An automobile equipped with dual infra-red and subdued visible light and the electronic telescope would be less subject to low visibility hazards of driving, he indicated.
To demonstrate. Dr. Morton directed a motion picture at the lens end of the tube. A black filter was inserted in the projejctor, shutting off visible light. The pictures continued clearly visible through its "stereopticon” end.

DESSYE, Jan. 2.—OLE)—Ethiopians tonight boasted that the Italians had been forced to evacuate all of Tigre province except behind the Aksum-Aduwa-Adigrat line and a narrow ribbon of communication from Adigrat to Makale.

Storm Arises Over Reich’s Measures To Repress Religious Groups
BERLIN, Friday, Jan. 3.—<r.E>— Nazi Germany today launched a broadside of acrid criticism against James G. McDonald, who urged the world to take “collective action” against the reich’s measures to repress Jews, Catholics, and Protestants when he resigned as the league's high commissioner for refugees from Germany last week.
Newspapers printed an official news agency statement which said that the world at large had no pity for the hundreds of thousands of nationals of states defeated in the world war—“although many lost their homes and existence partly under brutal circumstances”—the same world now believes itself justified to “criticize Germany adversely.”
German Opinion Ctted “Moreover, in the German opinion,” the statement continued, “the league ought first to occupy itself with the question of her minority denominations are treated in league countries before it assumes the title to control Germany’s reconstruction.”
Most newspapers added their own comment to the official dispatch. An article by the national Socialist party news agency said:
Germany Is Sovereign State “Germany is a sovereign state the same as other powers and does not permit interference in her internal affairs.”
The Volkischer Beobachter, organ of the Nazi party, said:
“What interests us most Is the arrogance with which the organ of the league dares to deal with German internal affairs. If Geneva, in view of its failure is other fields, deems it fit to play benefactor to mankind in other less dangerous fields, then we should like to recommend it to choose a field other than Germany legislation for the protection of German blood.” Urging the league to occupy itself with lynchings, demolition of churches, and attacks on Christian priests happening outside Germany, the Beiliner Lokalanzeiger asserted:
