Inventor vs. Einstein: Physics With Fiais Cos Aipyelcs Stones 2 1 Mar. 23, 1979 Part I out now and the reporters dispersing, but the event was not over yet, said Jack Schlicht, president of Solar World. He thereupon introduced a previously unannounced inventor, Harry O'Hare, who, with tousled gray hair lapping over his forehead and shirttail askew, proceeded to set up a device that Schlicht said "makes hydrogen from seawater, or sewer water, or whatever," and would be the answer to OPEC control of the world oil market. New agitation.

More microphones, thrust now at Harry O'Hare. Off to the side, a discreet distance back from the swirl, stood two men nattily dressed in pinstripe suits. They had arrived in a Jaguarsedan. One of the two pinstripe-suited men identified himself by name but declined to produce a business card or describe his business, except to say that he represented Bruce De Palma "contractually." "Oh, him?" De Palma said later in a conversation across the room. "He runs a casting agency in Hollywood.

He's trying to bring together of phygics. "He the hell pui of Princeton (University) on that the aide said. Did he really promote an antigravity device? "Yes," said De Palma. Was he really a professor at MIT? "I was a teaching assistant from 1953 to 1970." Was he fired? "I was not renewed. I knew too much." "They don't like me at MIT, huh? It's because I'd like to get rid of the preisident of MIT.

I'd like to be president of MIT. My first act would be to fire anyone who's been there more than 35 years, including Edgerton." A tall thin man who listened to this colloquy later approached a reporter and introduced himself as Dick Palm-quist, publisher of a newspaper in Pixley, Calif. "Listen," he said, "I have complete faith in the honesty of these people at Solar World. I'm one of their first customers $15,000 that's probably mine," he said, pointing at a wind turbine, a crudely brazed, man-sized squirrel cage resting near one wall of the corrugated steel shed. "Anyone who comes out negatively on this is going to be crucified," Palmquist said darkly, picking his tape recorder and camera off a folding chair and moving away.

The television lights were going watts in and 7,512 watts out We're getting out 126 of what we're putting in." How couldf this be? Kcnyon, somber and reserved in a dark blue, three-piece polyester suit, stepped forward. "For the reason why this occurs we have Dr. Bruce DePalma here from MIT we feel it's neutrinos coming from beta decay radiation from the sun and stars." "This is what they call cosmic radiation, things like that. We feel it does something to the electrostatic energy of the earth." (Neutrinos are subatomic particles that radiate from the sun and pass through the earth. Physicists have a hard enough time detecting them, to say nothing of the unlikely possibility of harnessing them.

De Palma, who said later that he is 44 years old and the older brother of movie producer Brian De Palma, took the floor, introducing himself as a "former professor of electrical engineering at MIT." He asserted that They're taking measurements with prehistoric instruments. They're not taking a lot of things into account, like phase shifts, but they don't have the technical background to understand this." But there was no room for skepticism Thursday in the gloomy shed in Glendale, as Solar World sought to attract investors. As television lights brightened the scene, Barton Buhtz, who said he is a vice president of the firm, stepped forward to explain the device in a welter of jargon. "This is a three-phase motor 900 cycles so we multiply by three the square root of three and you'll see over there on the blackboard that the output is greater than the input." The machine began to whirr. Cameramen crowded close and Buhtz called out numbers.

"Forty-seven volts on side 28 amps 44 volts on side 27 amps." At the chalkboard, Solar World President Jack Schlicht ran the arithmetic and announced: "We have 5,935 Continued from Third Page not agreed to be part of any review panel. "It's a kind of disc armature motor, something I've done quite a bit of work on, a novel kind of machine," Campbell said. "If it were decently engineered, they might be getting more electricity out of it than they are. But they're certainly not getting more energy out than goes in. You cannot create energy from nowhere." Similarly, an engineer at JPL, who expressed embarrassment that his name had been associated with the device, said he had looked at it some weeks ago "as a personal favor" on his own time.

"There is really nothing there. They're getting current out, but anyone can do that. But getting more out than goes in is not possible," the engineer, who asked not to be identified, said, adding: "I looked at it for about 10 minutes. These guys don't know what they're doing. The setup is incredibly crude.

the machine demonstrates that the theory of relativity (which one he does not say) is "wrong." "This machine is getting its energy directly from space," De Palma said, and soon warmed to what appeared to be his central theme, the invalidity of Einstein's work. "Relativity represents a 1905 level of consciousness, one that a 5-year-old child could reach today. It's completely wrong. It's the most colossal coverup in science." According to aides in MIT's academic records office and the department of electrical engineering, De Palma was never a faculty member at the institute, in Cambridge, Mass. An aide to Dr.

Harld E. Edgerton, a prominent engineer at MIT who hired De Palma as an assistant in 1968, said De Palma taught one course in 1968 as a lecturer, a nonfaculty position and later was fired after falsely "accusing students of thefts when he felt their loyalty to his ideas was waning." The aide said one of De Palma's ideas was an antigravity device, a physical impossibility by known laws ANTIBUSING BILL GETS APPROVAL Around town.

Morris Corporation (distributors of Omega watches for the United States) VK compulsory busing is the "most socially destructive and indefensible government policy of our time." "Quite simply stated," Young said, "mandatory busing is the neutron bomb of education it destroys kids and saves buildings." "I don't think I have ever heard so much bullshit," said Assemblyman Elihu Harris (D-Berkeley), who is black.

Harris claimed that some of his colleagues would vote for the amendment because they were "right-wing rednecks," others because they were "confused" and others just to keep their legislative jobs. Assemblyman Patrick J. Nolan (R-Glendale) said the issue was not racism, but "tyranny" by the courts. "The people are in rebellion," Nolan said, "and we better listen to them. The children are the pawns in this vicious game." Robbins said he would seek Senate concurrence in the Assembly amendments to his ballot measure next Thursday, the final stop before it reaches the ballot.

Levine of Santa Monica, Mike Roos of Los Angeles and Art Torres of Los Angeles. Thirty-two Assembly Democrats and all 30 Republicans voted for the ballot measure.

Seventeen liberal Democrats voted no. One liberal Democrat, Assemblyman John Vas-concellos of San Jose, abstained. "This dialogue is distressing," Vas-concellos said in a floor speech, "and I probably won't vote. "The question is what are you going to do about poverty and minorities? So you don't want busing, OK, that's fine. But what are you going to do about poor people?" Under normal conditions, the Rob-bins antibusing constitutional amendment would appear on the June pri mary election ballot next year.

But the author wants it voted on at an Aug. 28 special election to try to block mandatory court-ordered busing for desegregation purposes in Los Angeles schools next fall. He has a separate bill calling for a $9.2 million appropriation to cover the costs of such an election. The proposal is scheduled to be heard by the Senate Finance Committee Monday. If this bill is passed and becomes law, a state and local government spending limit initiative, sponsored by Paul Gann, a cosponsor of Proposition 13, also could appear on the same ballot.

If the election bill fails, the proposed amendments would be decided at the regular primary election in June, 1980. Although Robbins feels sure his ballot measure would end compulsory school busing in Los Angeles schools, there are others who are not so certain that this would happen, including Assemblyman John T. Knox (D-Richmond). The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled mandatory busing is justified only when there is evidence that segregation exists because of the action of some governmental agency.

But state courts have required busing whenever segregation is found, regardless of its cause. Knox said it is possible the mandatory busing might continue if the courts rule that the Los Angeles school district helped to create the segregation. "This amendment may be nothing more than symbol," he said. In his opening remarks on the legislation, Assemblyman Young said mmmt I WUUMMiWI'lf LiJUliiiajJ Nevada Governor Orders Probe of sl 1 1.

Noting the "extreme seriousness" of the crime, U.S.

Dist. Judge Irving Hill imposed the eight-year sentence on Harvey Orville Dail, 51, of Tyler. Dail could have received a maximum of 10 years in prison on the offense. Hill said he was not imposing the maximum sentence because of other factors in the case on which he did not elaborate. Federal authorities have said that Dail helped a man named Alton Wayne Moore break out of a Belize (formerly British Honduras) prison last year and offered to pay Moore $20,000 to kill Charles Stephen Hudson of Saticoy, who had testified against associates of Dail's in a narcotics case.

The two men met in the prison last year while Dail was was being held on a marijuana smuggling charge and Moore was serving a life sentence for murder. After Dail was released from the prison, he allegedly arranged for Moore's escape, but Moore went to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and offered to become an informant. The long-range plan worked out by the DEA but never carried out because of Dail's arrest-was to have Moore introduce an undercover DEA agent into the narcotics ring. Hudson's "death" was staged by Moore and DEA agents and Dail was arrested in Las Vegas in late December.

Federal authorities have never indicated why they believed it was necessary to arrest Dail at that time. 0 Rich walnut appearance In lough laminate that raaiati ecratching won't atain or lad.
