ographers may have to revise
their maps because of the earth
quake last Thursday which caused
awesome changes in the terrain
of this sparsely - settled area.
The quake centering in this re
mote valley was felt in five west
ern states. i
Scientists who converged on
mile-high Dixie Valley found gap
ing fissures that scarred the base
of surrounding mountains for 28
miles. . ! '
Snowopped peaks looking down
on the desolate valley either were
shoved upward a few feet or the
valley floor dropped because of the
violent quake, they said. Geograph
ers won't know which it is until
readings are taken of the moun
tains. ; : i
Fissures Mapped j
Prof. David Slemmons, Univers

flew over the area in West Central
Nevada about 110 miles east of
Reno mapping the tremendous
fissures.

ran along the Stillwater Range on
the east side of the valley. Anoth

the southwest ?art of the Clan Al

12 miles Ion? opened just east of
the Clan Alpine,
Frightening Sight
A reporter who drove across the

'55 Draft Calls Halved,
Military Cut Announced
WASHINGTON (jP) Secretary of Defense Wilson said Monday
that, partly because of greater "opportunities for peace," draft calls
will be halved next year and the armed forces will be reducd by
403,000 men by June 1956. j , '
The reduction will bring total strength down to 2,815,000 from
the current figure of 3,218,000 registered last month.

In 1952 the 82nd Congress es

Mrs. Martin, who lives in suburban Oak Park, predicted last

Mrs. Martin declined to predict
what she will be doing Tuesday.
But, she told a reporter, "I will
