But , developments have gone
against them. Grain surpluses con
tinued to grow in size. And inas
much as commercial concerns did
not expand their facilities accord
ingly, department officials have
found it necessary to put the gov
ernment deeper 'and deeper' into
storage operations.
By the end of 1955, Benson had

No End la Sight
But the end of this expansion in
government storage is not yet in
sight. Only a few days ago, the
department announced that it soon
will ask for bids on additional
grain bins with a capacity of 100
million bushels. This would put the
government storage capacity near
the one billion bushel level.
In making this announcement,
the department said the storage

, promised to keep the problem un

!buv even more bins should thev
! be needed.
lslation passed by the Senate, Mon
day night.
Bridges told reporters GOP
leaders spent more than an hour
going over the patchwork bill with
the President. While Eisenhower
expressed dissatisfaction with it,
and a hope that it could be im
proved in conference with the
House, he did not discuss the pos
sibility of a veto, the senator said.
The Senate's majority leader,
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, was
in a more cheerful frame of mind
about the job the Senate did for
the farmers.
Threats Igaored
"The Senate ignored the threats
of a veto and the intimidation of
Benson (secretary of agriculture)
and voted to give the farmer more
t income," Johnson said. "I believe
! the conference can improve the
I bill as It was passed by the Sen
ate.
"We will do everything we can
to give the farmers more income
this year." '
In an unusual move, Rep. Cool
ey (D NO, chairman of the
House Agriculture Committee,
plans to call Benson before his
committee for questioning before
appointing the House conferees.
"Some of Mr. Benson s chickens
are coming home to roost." Cool-

Both Republicans and Demo
crats have expressed strong de
sires to help boost farm incomes.

open areas where tornaooes
can hit and not cause damage.
Tornadoes usually have a path
half-mile wide or less. They may
sweep along the ground for only
a few hundred yards, or for up
to 40 miles. They can dip up and
down, and jump long distances.
So it s hard to tell if two separated
places were hit by the same tor
nado, or by two different ones,, ha

Recent Warm-l
As part of the evidence for tha
recent general warm-up, Prof. Wil
lett cites:
Marked melting of glaciers in
some areas from 1900 to 1940. This
'includes glaciers in the southern
borders of Greenland.
Average winter temperatures
were about six degrees higher in
Southern Greenland and Iceland
and 13 degrees higher in Spits
bergen during 1930-40 than 1910-20..
For the last 30 years, icebergs
have been fewer and not travel
ling as far south as they had been.
Icebergs, however, vary widely
vear bv year. and are-affected ,
by winds and currents as well as
by temperatures.
Warm-water marine life has mi
grated northward. Clams on the
Northeast coast, for example have
been damaged by green crabs
w hich formerly were not found
north of the Long Island region.
For some 20.000 years, we've
been coming out of the last of four
stages of a great ice age; the
pleistocene glacial epoch. We seem
to be two-thirds of the way from
a peak of glaciation to a period
of no ice mantle at all, Prof. Wil
lett says.
Ice May Advance
But there is always a good
chance that there can be a short
term upswing in glaciation, with
some icecaps advancing again for
a while.
More knowledge of where we are
beading weatherwise, and methods
0f improving weather forecasts,
are expected to come from world-
'.wide scientific studies durine the
International Geophysical Year
starting in mid-1957.
Scientists will cooperate in stud
ies of wind circulations, changes
in the sun's radiation, glaciation,
ocean currents, and other factors
that influence weather, climate,
and human activities governed by
climate and weather.
