PHILADELPHIA, Jan. New
legislation to provide opportunity
for Latin American students not only

work here on part-tlme basis, on
Government projects, was recon-
mended yesterday to the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science by DR.. Cloyd Heck Mar
vim, president of George Washing

The proposal was advanced in the
interests of improving cultural rela-
tions between the Americas, DR..
Marvin said, predicting that re-
ciprocal interchange of engineering
students between the United States
and Latin America would go far to
accomplish such results.
I'VE hear much today about
partnership for Defense declared
DR.. Marvin. Defense itself will
not bring us together-it may be a
starting point, but until our under
standing and theirs breaks down
the 'out-group' concept and creates
in its stead an 'in-group' feeling
there can be no dependable relation
ship established between the States
of the Western Hemisphere.
Dr.. Marvin suggested that large
American engineering societies spon-

INDIANA, Pa, Jan. 1.--Saved
from death in soft coal mine, five
men celebrated the New Year today
thankful to breath fresh air once
again.
Dirty faced, swathed in blankets
and unharmed but trembling from
nervous exhaustion, the five were
guided to mine cars and trundled
up to safety at o'clock last night,
after an 18-hour entombment.
Thirteen other miners working in
the same section escaped when tons
of slate and rock collapsed at Mon
day midnight and there were no cas-
ualtieS. The cave-in occurred 3
miles below the mouth of the drift
mine, which employs 300 men.
First Six Hours the Worst.
Louis Canton, "a. one of those
trapped, said of the experience:
1T was awfully hot down there.
We were plenty shaky. The first
six hours were the worst-we didn't
get any fresh air during that time.
Il think we all prayed, but to our
selves. There was no panic. We
started digging our way out until the
fellows on the other side rescue
workers. told us to stop for fear we
would cause another cave-in.
Then We looked around and
found our dinner pals and water.
We talked as much as we could
Some of us lay down and slept"

Rescue diggers. using mechanical
conveyors 10 speed their progress,

While the rescue work went on

hear. Then We hustled TO safety

clog the tunnel every minute.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. l. - A
means of increasing cotton produc-
ton one-third over normal was re-
ported to the American Association
for the Advancement of Science
here today.
Just after cotton plants in quarter
acre experimental plots burst into
bloom, DR.. J. C. Ireland of the
Oklahoma Agricultural and Me-
chanical College told the scientists,
he sprayed them with chemical
known as napthalene acetic acid In
solution of only one part to
million of water.
This acid is plant hormone,
secreted in small amounts by plants
themselves and apparently essential
to growth. Hitherto it has been
used successfully to prevent fruit
from falling off trees, normally a
source of heavy loss
The solution. DR.. Ireland said.
was spread with power sprayer
every morning for three weeks dur
ing July, A synthetic preparation
of the hormone was used There
was not only marked increase in
the amount of cotton, he said, but
the quality and length of the fibre
were better than those produced in
untreated plots There was also. he
found. an increased vigor in the
growth of the plants.
Sees Ground Food Better Used.
The probable reason, he pointed
out, was that the hormone in some
way stimulated the plants to extract
more food from the ground This
does not mean, he stressed, that
more fertilization is necessary for
the process. The cotton plants are
able to extract more from what
actually is in the soil.
In another striking experiment.
the Oklahoma professor said. he
produced straight female line" of
cotton, much more vigorous than
the ancestral variety. by the use of
colchlchine, the extract from the
European saffron which so alters
seed cells that new varieties can be
started.
