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."
London Former President Truman, on his decision to drop
atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan:
"If I had to do it over again. I'd do it again."

"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.
Three of every four automo
biles on the earth are in the
United States.

Back Stairs: Ike's Illness Top Story

President Eisenhower's illness

weekly newspaper "Service

says: President Recovering

There's a picture of Mr. Eisen

the outstanding team of surgeons
and the many officers and en

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

this beats the rate of news con

after Mr. Eisenhower's heart at

New York OJ.R) Predic

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.
