Thus Dr. Arthur C. James" secret if indeed it was one tame home to roost like the chickens of the proverb. For Dr.

James' best work has been done In prisons. BAD CHECK CHARGES That's where, he said sadly yesterday, he patented his revo lutionary method of extracting beryllium from beryl ore. Detective Lieutenants Edward Burdick and Harry Workman ar rested Dr. James or Charles B. Smith at 3:10 a.m.

as he was cruising along Hollywood Blvd. a sedan which, they reported, he had obtained by "trading" a iKirrowed machine In San Francisco. Authorities wanted the 46- year-old man. From Municipal Judge Wil liam R. McKay's Division 4 had been issued felony warrants charging four counts of passing checks with insufficient funds and two of grand theft.

FORGERY ADMITTED What's more, Dr. James, who lists himself a a mining engl neer, has spent several years in San Quentin and more than 12 in Folsom. Always it's the same story In 1015 he forged a name to a money order, he admitted; in 1022 it was bad checks Yesterday Dr. James popped up with a superlative yarn Listening to him, youd have bought stock in a minute. Maybe he's right.

BOON TO AVIATION' Dr. James, sitting on a ricketv jail chair as nonchalantly as if it were a plush divan at the Hitz, ran a lean hand through his sparse sandy hair and observed: "With my chemo-gase-ous process, I can produce beryllium for $123 a pound. Today, by electrolysis, it costs manufacturers $10 for the same amount. "Beryllium, if made cheaply enough, would be a boon to the aviation industry. "My beryllium which I've refined in my little laboratory In a Colorado River camp near Yuma, Ariz.

six times lighter than steel, twice as light as duralumin. "It's also twice as strong as 'dural'." Dr. James leaned back till the Jail-chair protested emphatically. COCKPIT ARMOR He explained that he reduces the beryllium metal from beryl ore through a thermal process of heating it to 1350 degrees in a blast furnace in the presence of such neutral chemical gases as helium, neon, argon, krypton, zenon or radon. Hitherto, he added, metallurg isis have extracted beryllium from silica sand on electrodes.

That's why it costs so much. While a jail attendant, who does a liltle gold mining on the side, goggled. Dr. James declared that his metal will someday form cockpit armor for airplanes, in struments ana ruei tanks. PROBLEMS CONCERN LAW Of course, his Immediate problem doesn't concern beryllium.

It concerns the law. The doctor admitted ruefully that he exercised rather bad judgment In writing checks to taling some $1500 to be used as "deposits covering contracts until I could sell my process." lie said he had talked to two local aircraft manufacturers and a brace of metal experts. An engineer for one of the factories verified that he had conferred briefly with the self-proclaimed inventor. But be-cause airplane makers leave metallurgy to metal mills, the talk never amounted to much. The engineer agreed, however, that cheap beryllium would indeed help the aeronautics industry greatly.

BORN AS JAMES Dr. James he said he-was born James but assumed Smith as a favor to, an aunt ho adopted him In the ISOO's recounted that he was born In Ohio, went to El Paso as a youngster, and then journeyed to Oakland with his foster-mother. He said he was educated at (he now-defunct Northern Cali fornia Polytechnic Institute, with Turn to Tnge Column 1 eluded yesterday between Mayor Bowron and a committee of Councilmen who entered a pro test against his "persistent and erroneous" radio statements about Councilmanic actions.
