SIX MTOFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TuMdar. Jun. II. 1951 Scientific Theory Advanced To Explain Start and End of Ice Age By DELOS SMITH United Prw Science Editor New York (U P; A cooling news for hot weather reading is that two scientists have proposed a theory which explains how ice ages get started and how ice ages end. If true, this theory means that we will have an ice age again although no time soon unless the earth shifts a bit on its axis which would move the North and South Poles from where they are now. Dr. Maurice Ewing. director of the Lamont Geological Labor atory of Columbia University, and his research associate, Dr. William L. Donn, proposed to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the fol lowing: As the Arctic sheet melts and recedes (which it is doing now) the Arctic Ocean becomes more liquid and exchanges more cold water with the Atlantic Ocean for warm water. Eventually the Arctic Ocean becomes warm enough to be entirely free of ice. This means there is much more moisture in the Arctic atmos phere. Air Circulation Changes So there is much more rain over Arctic and sub-Arctic lands and there are changes in the circulation of the atmosphere. With more rain and snow, new glaciers a new ice sheet be gin forming. Meanwhile, the freer and freer exchange of Arctic and Atlantic waters is lowering the level of both oceans. As the levels get lower, the interchange becomes less. So the Arctic waters start Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Washington State department spokesman Lincoln White, on the bombing in Nicosia, Cyprus, which killed a U.S. vice consul and injured three other Americans: "It only adds to the already considerable cost in human life which has been exacted by violence." Moscow Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, in Russia on a "good will" tour, on whether there will fcx any difference in Yugoslavia's relations with tha West." "No change." 1 Hollywood Comedian Jerry Lewis, commenting on the deci sion he and his partner. Dean Martin, have made to split up: "It's now finished for keeps."

Shepilov, describing the kind of "friend" Russia is to the Arab nations: "Unselfish, faithful, and reliable." vj getting colder and this process is stepped up by the coldness of the new glaciers. Finally things are cold enough to quick freeze the Arctic Ocean, and that marks the height of the ice age. Then there is much less snow, since the ocean water is iced over, and the ice sheet be gins receding and we're back to where we came in. What they're proposing is, in their words: "Temperature changes in the surface waters of the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans are thus the causes of, rather than the consequence of, the waxing and waning of continen tal glaciers." The earth now is in" an inter glacial period which, it is fig ured, set in about 11,000 years ago. How much longer it will continue is a scientific guessing game which is played in tens of thousands of years. Poles Shifted To Land But to complete the Ewing Donn theory ; It used to be that the North and South Poles were in freely circulating water the North Pacific for the former, the South Atlantic for the latter. As the result of this arrangement, there were no ice sheets no glaciers and the earth's climate was moderate everywhere. Then came a vast upheaval. Up shot the great masses which are the Alps and other great mountain chains. The earth shifted on its axis and the poles veered to land masses where cold could be insulated and built up, and that triggered the be ginning of the very first ice age. When you start thinking of how long ago that happened, you must think about 1,000,000 years or more.

MOONEY United Press Correspondent Washington flJ.Fft Back stairs at Walter Reed Army Med ical Center: President Eisenhower's illness is the top story in the hospital's weekly newspaper "Service Stripe." A two-column headline says: President Recovering "Most Satisfactory." There's a picture of Mr. Eisen hower and beside it a four par agraph item on the big opera tion. 1 It talks mostly about the doctors and their assistants, com-1 menting that "he progress the President is making attests to the outstanding team of surgeons and the many officers and en listed men behind the scenes." During the first week of the President's illness. White House Press Secretary James C. Hag gerty held 38 news conferences. That averages about one confer ence every ,4V4 hours. The Pres ident's news secretary believes this beats the rate of news con ferences during the first week after Mr. Eisenhower's heart at tack in Denver last fall. outside the hospital press room is this memo from the enterpris ing operator of Phil's Italian restaurant: "To the gentlemen of the press, radio and TV remember what Horace said "Edere et bibere est gandere." Free translation: To eat and drink is to relax. You are invited to do this during your If it isn't one operation it's another. The Army nurse who would normally be in charge just outside the President's door is Capt. J. M. Ognibene of Batavia, N. Y. She was on duty during Mr. Eisenhower's heart checkup in December and his head-to-toe physical in May, but now she is home recuperating from an op eration of her own. On a make-shift bulletin board Business Retailers Expect Higher Sales New York OJ.R) Predic tions of a summer slump in busi ness have fallen on deaf ears among retailers who are stock ing up to equal or beat last year's record sales, according to the American Newspaper Pub lishers Association. The association said that 72 per cent of the retailers it sur veyed txpect increases "over their 1955 summer sales volume, while 21 per cent estimate vol ume will hold to the pace set last year. long vigils at the hospital. I am located just across the street" The bulletin board is beginning to look like a campaign poster. Stuck to it firmly is a red, white and blue paper matchbook with slogan "Stick With Ike." Beside that, is an advertisement for a magazine article on a day in the White House with the President. Tokyo, Japan (U.R) A 11-year-old laborer blew himself to bits with dynamite Saturday beside the stature of a nude woman in what police said to day was a "death pact" with the statue. The statue was not damaged. Add to the list of schedules upset by Mr. Eisenhower's ill ness: Miss Mary Clark, secretary to Maj. Gen. Leonard D. Heaton, hospital commander. She was called back from vacation for the emergency. When she saw Hea ton she said: "I assume this can cels all vacations." The general said: "I would humbly suggest." Dr. Robert E.
