Magazine Discussion
- These possibilities are discussed
In the magazine Science by Dr.
Clarence A. Mills of the labora
tory for experimental medicine.
University of Cincinnati.
The reason they may come is
the tremendous effect that temp
erature has on human life. Dr.
Mills explains. ' The human body,
in burning foodstuffs for energy,
produces a lot of waste heat and
must.get rid of it
Ease of heat loss "means a fast
growing, early maturing, highly
fertile individual, - with a keen
'mentality and good ability to fight
Infectious disease."
Chances In Growth
If climate makes it hard to lose
heat, people slow down. There are
changes in growth, rate of de
velopment, ! resistance to disease,
and thought capacity, he said.
''Physical and mental charact
eristics thus change, from the
dynamic and pushing, to a more
passive 'let-George-do-it' type.
. Personal Initiative gives way to a
desire for security.'
In the list 10.000 years there
have been five cycles of relative
warmth and cold, each lasting
about 2,000 years. Dr. Mills said
Temperatare Rising I
We are now in period of ris
ing temperature, and "tempera
tures in 1930 reached about the
levels of 1,000 years earlier. All
records available indicate that
earth temperatures have been ris
ing for a full century, bringing
definitely milder winters and the
long summers of depressive heat
that sap human energy and change
the course of nations.
The next-to-last cold millen-
ium fell In the days of early Greek
and Roman glory, and was follow
ed by the thousand years of dark
ages warmth, when cereal grains
could be ripened in Iceland."
The peak of dark ages warmth
came about 850 A. D.. he writes.
Greater warmth in Scandinavia
brought temperatures favoring
human activity, and stimulated the
Vikings to their explorations.
Then, be says, a cool millenium
came, the north turned cold and
Europe entered the renaissance.
Lethargy Grew.
No, "the same semi tropical
lethargy which earlier engulfed
the Mediterranean countries of
Europe is today creeping north
ward over the United States and
Central Europe."
Already, Dr. Mills said, there
is a trend for later maturity in
girls and smaller adult stature in
American college youth, reversing
the trend of recent centuries to
ward earlier maturity and ever-
better physiques- In the Carolinas
the reversal came with children
born in 1918, at Cincinnati lati
tudes a little later, and in Wiscon
sin it still remains only an in
definite hint-'V
Retarded By Cold
Russia was retarded by centur
ies of cold, Dr. Mills says, but
"much of Russia today enjoys
temperatures which are near the
optimal (best) for human endeav

turies ahead she may gain the
sought-for place-in-the-son, along
with the lesser northern nations of
Scandinavia and Canada."
Man, says Dr. Mills, "is in reality
a pawn of the forces encompas
sing him, being pushed forward to
a vantage point at one time, or
held in lethargic bondage at anoth
er. Here is a challenge of the first
magnitude can human intellig
ence finda n effective answer?"
Ha mentions two possible de
fenses against being pushed around
by temperature changes. Animal
studies show that some depressive
effects of heat can be overcome by
extra amounts of the B vitamins
and foods richer in protein. Air
conditioning could maintain temp
eratures best suited for human
activity.

ChargeHurled
By Yugoslavia
BELGRADE, Oct 29 -(Ay-Yugoslavia
lashed back at cominform
neighbors again tonight, accusing
them of war moogering, stirring
border troubles and staging mass
arrests to curb the spread of Tito
ism. Developments came fast in the
row which began 19 months ago
when the RussiaA-dominated corn
inform (communist international
information bureau) blacklisted
Premier Marshal Tito's govern
ment These were the developments:
1. Yugoslavia's official press
charged that Bulgaria was pursu
ing a mass purge including some
of its top officials to halt the
spread of Titotsm in that country.
2. Late tonight the foreign af
fairs ministry published its rejec
tion of a note from Russia de
manding recall of Yugoslavia's
ambassador to Russia, Karl Mra-
zovich.
At the time the Soviet note was
issued, Mrazovich was already
back in Yugoslavia serving as
president of the Yugoslav republic
of Croatia and as a member of the
Yugoslav communist party central
committee.
3. The Yugoslav interior minis
try accused Hungary of stirring up
border troubles and said Hungar
ian troops lobbed shells for eight
hours across the border into Yugo
slavia last Thursday night No one
was hurt and Yugoslav border
troops did not reply, the ministry
said.
The Yugoslav rejection of the
Russian note branded the recall
demand as a new "stimulus" in
what was called a Soviet cam
paign to shut off relations and to
minimize Yugoslavia's position in
a "progressive world."
The government of Yugoslavia
protests strongly and energetically
and casts away the slanders con-

Drop Cases
Against Priests
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Oct '
29 -iPh Communist-led Czech.
Slovakia today freed or halted
legal proceedings against 117 Rs
man Catholic priests who had op
posed the government's new
church control law.
An official announcement said
President Klement Gottwald had
decided on the action because th
priests had repented and promised
loyalty.
The government first announced
that all 127 had been released frona
prison. Later this was corrected to
say that a majority of the priests
had been free during "legal pro
ceedings' against them. Presum
ably, this meant that most of them
had not actually been imprisoned.
The government's first state
ment said priests had opposed the
new control law because of pres
sure from the church hierarchy"
but that in prison they had "pro
claimed they wanted to change
their attitude, were sorry for their
acts and promised loyalty to the
Czechoslovak republic and asked
the president for amnesty."
Church sources, have reported
about 300 priests under arrest for
voluntarily opposing the laws
passed Oct. 14, which give a gov
ernment ministry control of
church finances, salaries, person
nel and administration.
Earlier this week the Czecho
slovak bishops retreated from their
opposition to the law to the extent
of allowing priests to take an oath
of loyalty to the communist gov- I '
ernment with reservations a; ft I
accept government salaries, pro
vided they advised their church
superiors.
Previously Catholic sources had
reported about 80 per cent of the
nation's 7,000 priests signed volun
tary statements they would go t
jail before accepting the control
laws.

. For months now diplocatic re
lations between the two countries
had been cool, but whether this
would be another step toward a
formal diplomatic break could not
be determined pending further de
velopments. The communist newspaper Bor-

made the mass arrest charge
against Bulgaria in a three-column
article.
Vauslian's Car
Catches Fire
WASHINGTON, Oct 29-()-
Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, the

Vet Benefit Bill
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29
President Truman today signed a

The measure corrects a drafting
mistake which turned up in a bill
Mr. Truman approved earlier this"
year. That law set up a new dis
ability rating schedule for veterans
generally. It calls for up to $150
