California Field
Party Inspects
Fossil Regions
A field party from the Univer
sity of California left for Berk-.
eley Sunday afternoon, ioiiow-
tng a study of a part of central
Oregon which, over a period of
years, has yielded stony remains
of a rhino, three toed horses of
the Mascall age and giraffe-camels.
The region studied is the
Gateway area of Jefferson coun
ty. In the university field party
were Ted Downs, Morton Green
and Frank Kilmer.
The students said that in the
Gateway region were found for
mations representing at least
three epochs of the age of ani
mals. Forming the base are mas
sive Columbia lavas. On top of
the lavas are the Mascall strata,
named for the type locality In
the John Day country.
On top of this formation, in
which are Imbedded fragmen
tary remains of animals that
lived In Oregon millions of years
ago, is the horizon holding the
rhino bones. It is believed that
the beds in the limited area re
cord a 20,000,000-year-old story,
Also studied by the field party
were the leaf beds, recently ex
amined by Dr. Ralph W. Chaney,
Carnegie Institute associate and
authority on the ancient forests
of Oregon. There is evidence that
a white-oak forest In the Gate
way area was enveloped in a
flow of volcanic mud. Entire
trees were buried in torrential
beds above the leaf -bearing
flows.
The University of California
party was in the eastern part of
the state for the past several
weeks. Near Baker, they studied
an area where America's oldest
elephant was found.

against La Paz.
Sucre, another city taken Dy
the insurgents, was reported
back in the hands of loyalist
forces.

At that time, too, Americans

Gale Strikes

Death Listed
New York, Aug. 29 UK-A hur-rleane-bom
gale swept across
New York City af 70 miles an
hour today, killed one man, left
more than 30.000 families without
electricity and delayed the ar
rival of ocean liners.
Southwest storm warnings
were posted at Eastport, Me.
High winds were hitting the New
England coast.
The tail end of Florida's hurri
cane was centered over Albany,
N. V., at 11 a.m. and was to pass
northeastward over central Ver
mont and northern New Hamp
shire this afternoon, and out to
sea over the northern tip of
Maine by midnight. Winds of 20
miles per hour were recorded at
Albany in the comparatively
quiet center of the storm.
Power Hard Hit
Henry Reins, 75, of Garfield,
N. J., was electrocuted when he
stepped on a power line blown
down by the high winds.
Preliminary estimates showed
that power was cut to 20.000 fami

000 in Nassau county and 3,000 in
the' Bronx. Falling trees and
branches severed power lines at
scattered points in Westchester

Truman Optimistic on Eve
Of British Monetary Talks
By Merriman Smith
I United Pri Whit. Houfle Keiwrttr)
Philadelphia, Aug. 29 (IB Pres
ident Truman warned today on
the eve of Anglo-American dol
lar talks that the United States
is not interested in "trick solu
tions" to the world's economic
problems.
Mr. Truman promised, howev.
er, all possible cooperation in
helping world recovery, which,
he said, would thwart Russia's
aim of achieving world domina
tion by prolonging "the distress
and suffering of free nations." '
"We are not engaged in a char
itable enterprise," Mr. Truman
told the annual convention of the
American Legion.
The United States will, howev
er, he said, seek to promote in
ternational prosperity through
the European recovery program,
the world bank, the international
monetary fund and his own
"point four" program of promot
ing underdeveloped foreign
areas.
To stop another disastrous
world-wide depression and cer
tain of "tyranny and slavery" in
many nations, Mr. Truman told
his fellow legionnaires, the
United States must be "alert to
new developments, and turn to
advantage every possible re
source."
Prosperity Essential
"World prosperity is neces
sary to world peace," he said
"Furthermore, world prosperity
is necessary to our own pros
perity In the United States."

Economy Bloc
Fails to Gain
Its Objective
By Raymond I.sJir
lOniu-d PrNi Staff CorrMHn(Jntl
Washington, Aug. 29 IP The
senate passed the 514.790,380,478
defense appropriation bill today
after administration forces hud
defeated the senate economy
bloc's major effort of the year
to force the government onto a
balanced budget.
The bill was passed by voice
vote with money items Just as
they came from the appropria
tions committee. The senate
measure represented a cut of $1,
118,736.322 from the military
spending bill passed by the house.
The measure was the last of 11
regular appropriation bills for
fiscal 1950 to be passed by the
senate nearly two months after
the fiscal year began. . Differenc
es between the house and senate
versions still must be adjusted
by a conference committee. Three
other money bills still are locked
in conference committees.
Before passage of the bill, ad
ministration forces in the senate
had mustered just four more
than the one-third minority they
needed to defeat a "rider" amend
ment proposed by Sen. John L.
McClellan, D., Ark., which was
aimed at balancing the overall
federal budget.
19 Absentees
The rider would have required
President Truman to hold govern
ment spending an average of five
to 10 per cent below his budget
estimates, which totaled $42,000,
000,000. There were 48 votes for the pro
posal and 29 against it and 19
absentees. With that number vot
ing, the rider needed 52 votes for
approval". - - . - -
Just before passage, the senate
also rejected a motion by Sen.
Paul H. Douglas. D., III., to cut
approximately $275,000,000 from
the military bill. Douglas asked
the senate to send the measure
back to the appropriations com
mittee with instructions to accept
the house figure for all Items
where the house voted less than
the senate.
Douglas' motion was rejected
by a vote of 49 to 25.
The McClellan rider came bs
fore the senate as the chief effort
of the economy bloc this year to
bring government spending Into
line with revenue.
AUSTRALIA HAS FLOOD
Sydney, Australia, Aug. 29 to?)
Twenty thousand persons were
believed to have been made
homeless by floods which swept
Australia's north coast Sunday
evening.
Damage was estimated at
more than $5,000,000. Seven per
sons were known to have died.
At least two were missing.
Authorities said they were the
worst floods in New South Wales'
history. But the waters were
slowly receding today.
Even as the president spoke fi
nancial experts of the United
States, Canada and Great Britain
met in Washington for technical
discussions as a prelude to the
full-scale top-level money talks
on September 7.
Mr. Truman gave no concrete
commitments to the talks brought
on by Britain's growing financial
crisis.
, "We look upon these talks,"
he said, "as discussions among
friends about problems which
affect all of us, and in the solu
tion of which we all have a com
mon interest.
The representatives of the
United Kingdom will find here
a warm personal welcome and
may be assured that these mu
tual problems will be examined
by us in a spirit of friendliness
and helpfulness."
Then, he enunciated four prin
ciples, on which the economic
policy of free nations must be
based.
The first, he said, Is that a
sound and expanding world eco
nomy Is essential to world
peace.
The second "is that we are try
ing to expand the exchange of
goods and services among na
tions." The third Is that we must keep
plugging "everlastingly" at at
tempts to create sound global
economic relations.
The fourth principle Is that
democratic nations do not pro
pose to interfere with one an
other's Internal politics.
