would happen to the climate of the world and to the ocean.
 Years ago Prof Wilhelm Meinardus of Goettingen and Prof Sir Edgeworth David of Sydney Australia, occupied themselves with the Antarctic ice cap which is about 1900 feet thick and covers 5000000 square miles Meinardus calculated that Antarctic ice were all melted the level of the worlds oceans would be raised about one hundred feet David contented him. self with rise of fifty feet Either figure is alarming enough Not only would every seaport be submerged. with fish swimming in the lower offices Of New York and other cities and only the upper stories of skyscrapers protruding from the water-but much of the vegetation of temperate would change, with palm trees giving way to oaks and pines, and such common vegetables potatoes and turnips struggling hard to maintain themselves. If David is right the Antarctic continent has sunk six hundred feet under it's load of at quadrilion tons of ice Remove that load and we would expect quakes the earth tried to recover it's equilibrium
 There is no doubt that both the Arctic and Ant arctic ice caps could be blasted away with the prob ability that they would not reform, since they are relics of an ice age which is nearing it's end But would any country consent to the inundaton of it's seaboard towns and to change of climate though bitter cold would give way to the mldness oi Florida? Even the clearing of only thousand square miles of Antarctic ice is something to be reckoned With South American weather predictions are based partly on what happens at the South Pole. If the climate were changed by small-scale atomic blasting South Amer ican meteorologists might find it more difficult to fellow the old procedures in forecasting the weather forecasts on which the farmers of Argentina now dependent If any wholesale blasting of ice is at tempted UNO would have another problem on it's hands.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10
HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 Women and children are under favorable planetary influences. Conditions creating family friction will soon dissipate. Reunions will give new meaning to many homes.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Some legislation intended to speed production of goods now in short supply will have the opposite effect unless corrected with com mon sense checks. New postwar automobiles will soon be fairly common on the nations highways
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Further reductions in U. s. arm ies of occupation will be bitterly debated. The charge will be that military brass hats are needless ly keeping men overseas.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Serious doubts will be expressed by prominent persons concerning the efficacy of atomic bomb con- trol measures. Experiments in the lighter -than-air field of aeronau- tics will presently attract public attention, but neither the dirigible nor the blimp will play major roe in future military air plans.
 Persons born on this day are promised by the stars: A year of wholly unexpected developments in family relationships, all of them agreeable.
 Children born on this day will be intelligent, friendly, diplomatic and equal to lifes demands. They should be encouraged to think for themselves.

Honeymoon" Over?
Cincinnati Enquirer


 New proof is at hand that the honeymoon be- tween President Truman and Congress is about over. The Chief Executive short while ago revealed plans to add new $1 65O0OO office building another wing to the White House. It to include-wen, little bit of everything, up to auditorium for press, radio and movie appearances, complete with dsap- bearing stage.
 Washington civic groups complained that it would destroy the dignity and charm of the White House to which there already is attached the executive office wing Architects raised the point of balance claiming it was not the original intent to have the Presidents residence attached to office building like watch fob (Most if not all occupants of the White House have changed it's structure in particular, how ever)
 Be that as it may workmen were removing the stone copngs preparatory to the actual spadeWork on the new addition when the House of Representatives voted no to A. withdraw the appropriation for the building and to wipe out the Presidents Sl70OO0O0 emergency appropriation fund The small size of the vote shows that it not fu-fledged issue in the House but there was some significance in the fact that the majority leaders did not attempt to overtun the act of a fourth of the House membership. Possibly they feared a full debate and vote
 The Senate would have to concur to make the re- nunciation of the Presidents building proposal eff ecve and is to be supposed that the Senate would not so dramatically slap a former colleague in the face but even so the incident illustrates something that would have been unthinkable last summer or fall

CoNGREssroNAL HUSBAND

Believe it or not, but Harry Luce, shy, powerful publisher of Life Time and Fortune, is going to be initiated into the Ladies Section of the 78th Club, an organization made up of the wives of sophomore Congressmen who served their first term with the 76th Congress.
 Luce happens to be the one man in America eligible for membership in this exclusive ladies organi2a- tion-due to the fact that his wife, Clare Booth Luce of Connecticut, came to Washington as member of the 78th Congress. No other man in the United States has this distinction
 At first the ladies didn't think that Harry would want to join. However, since they, as the wives of sophomore Congressmen, are members, they didn't see why the husband of a sophomore Congress woman shouldn't also join the 7Sth Club.
 So Mrs. Joseph Burlington, at- tractiye wife of the delegate from Hawaii and president of the club, wrote to MT. Luce. suggesting that

FouR MONTHS TOO LATE

Only a few people now it, but President Truman could have saved himself - and the Nation about four months of economic headaches over wages and prices. Inside fact is that exactly the same plan he is now adopting, of putting both wag- es and prices under Chester Bowles, was urged on Truman last October
 At that time, John Snyder asked a small group of brain-trusters to chart the future of the War Pro- auction Board, which Cap" Krug, it's then Chairman, was anxious to dismantle altogether
 The economic brain-trusters working under Bob Nathan-re- commended that the remains of WIPE be joined with OPA under a single head, Chester Bowles. They pointed out that production and prices were correlated problems and must be handled together
 They even proposed that Bob Hinckiey, former Under Secretary of Commerce and an Al man, take over production problems under Bowles, while William Bait of WIPE handle prices, also under Bcwles.
 At that time, however. John Shy der, wouldn't take Bowles. He wanted none of him. Also, industry didn't like the idea of being under a man as fortnight and uncom- promising as Bowles. So Snyder turned the whole thing down. ! But today, after four months of inside pickering which has ser- iously affected the economic life of the Nation, exactly the same plan is being adopted Bowles is taking over both prices, wages, and production. Weeks of wrsngling and national indecision could have Leen saved if Harry Truman had not listened to his old friend from the Missouri National Guard, John Snyder.

THE LOOPING CHARGES

According to published reports in Seattle news papers from survivors of the wrecked steamship Yukon. the charges of footing and drinking against crew members of the -fated liner seem to have been greatly exaggerated
 From all we have been able to ascertain, ot the 125 crew members of the Yukon two were jailed or questioned for footing and that in our opinion is hardly enough evidence condemn the entire crew.
 Most of the survivors questioned in Seattle were high in their praise for the way in which the crew members of the Yukon conducted themselves and 1t seems to US that if the drinking and footing and ineffciency said to have been in evidence prevailed the passengers interviewed in Seattle would have said as much,
