The study to be carried on aimed at learning more about rural Scftith America, will be carried out during the next year by Dr. Gene E. Martin, assistant professor' of geo graphy at the University of Oregon. During the coming summer, Dr. Martin and four univers ity graduate students will live and work in a small Andean village in Colombia.

The Colombian project, which will also serve as a re search, training exercise, is being sponsored by the Uni versity's Institute of Interna tional Studies and Overseas Administration under a grant from the Carnegie Corpora tion of New York. Rockefeller Grant The Argentine study, fi nanced by a new S8.950 grant form the Rockefeller Founda tion, will center on the pam pas, the 150,000 square miles of rolling plains which com prise most of the provinces of Buenos Aires, Cordoba, and Santa Fe. Dr. Martin made a prelim inary study of :the area in 1939 while he was a Fill bright professor at the Uni versity of Buenos Aires.- Af ter analyzing his :data, he found that contrary to the popular picture of the pampas as an area made up exclu sively of large estates used as grazing land, about 20 per cent of the area was broken up into small property hold ings of 750 acres or less, fre- O o r T i T r - ' " . - 'S, l .!iM PRIZE CATCH-During the annual fishing session in the Pacific Ocean Surrounded cnampionsmps in New Caledonia the win- by Australia, New Zeland and Fiji, New ner was' Gilbert Thong, 25, shown with his Caledonia is a fisherman's paradise, and this prize grouper caught in the Bay of Lemons, 350-pounder provided lots of sport.

Among the changes were forested areas resulting from recent tree plantings, extensive raising of corn and wheat, and the ap pearance .of dairy farms, truck gardens, and orchards. Dr. Martin now plans to find out who owns the small holdings, how they acquired them, and how they operate them. . , The Rockefeller Foundation grant will allow four Argen tine graduate students, prob ably from the University of Buenos Aires, to assist Dr. Martin during their summer vacations from December lo February, thus giving them an opportunity to gain field experience and learn research methodology.

B FROM OLVMPIA Radiation Uses o In Industry, Science Studied New York -HTH- Since man first put fire to work he has been finding new jobs for it. In the comparatively brief tunc since he discovered elec tronic radiation, he has been working similarly to develop its uses. But the things that he will be able to do with radiation are almost beyond imagina tion, says Dr. Kennardy Mor genstcrn, head of a Wejtbury, N. Y. firm, specializing in pro duction of radiation equip ment and its uses in industry and science. Applications Discussed Morgcnstern discussed some of the applications of radia tion and its equipment here shortly before leaving for Vi enna where a conference on its uses, particularly in the preservation of food, was scheduled to open this week. He said one of the topics to be taken up there would be the use of radiation in the preservation of grain, through its use to retard the bacterial growths which hasten spoil age of stored grain. Use of radiation treatments to help preserve food is far from new; the Quartermasters Department of the Army has for years conducted test pro-1 grams. Morgcnstern said it was seeking approval for the use of food so treated. ' Like X-Ray Voltage The typo of radiation used in treatment of food, Morgcn stern said, ia very much like x-ray voltage; there is no in ducted radioactivity. It does not preserve food indefinitely, but retards its spoilage. "Food probably is the big gest field for the future," he said. "But it may be the slow est to develop. The nations which need it the most, are the poorest equipped to adopt techniques of this kind." IT - . .4Jr m' "mli MI H I 1 HAIIDY 7-OZ.
