city.
1t claimed that mines placed on
the Haiphong -Haiduong road had
damaged French tank and two
vehicles and caused several French
casualties.
Radio Hanoi reported engage

from Rourane.
1t said three French soldiers were
court martialed and executed Sat-

whether there is any malfeasance

The committee heard the report
of special investigator that on an
a la carte meal privately run
cafeteria undersold GSI by IL cents.
The witness, Miss Esther F. Phi
pard, an Agriculture Department
nutritionist, had been asked pre-
viously by the committee to make
a comparison of prices between GSI
cafeterias and privately operated
ones.
She said that for meal consist
ing of one pork chop, mashed pota-
toes, dressing, pie a Ia mode and
milk, GSI cafeterias charged 50
cents. The same meal was priced
at 70 cents at Scholl's Cafeteria and
at 78 cents at the S. & w. Cafeteria,
she testified.
In another instance, however, Miss
Phipard said that GSI undersold
the other cafeterias by cent in the

peach salad, roll and coffee. GSI
charged "a cents, while the other
two cafeterias charged Is cents, she

Ice Age Secrets Studied in Pit
Dug 6 Years Agoin Antorctico
By Thomos R. Henry
Stnr StnH CoxrasnondanA

ABOARD U. S. S. MT. OLYMPUS,
Feb. 3.-The birth process of the
ice age is being studied here by a
geological survey scientist working
in pit about IS feet deep, in the
Ross Barrier ice.
The pit was first dug and blasted
about Is feet below the snow surface
Of Little America six years ago and
left for future observation. Since
then about 18 feet Of snow has ac-
cumulated over the surface at .
rate Of about three feet each winter.
The temperature below the surface
is constant at several degrees below
zero.
The result found by DR.. Arthur D.
Howard is that the depth of the
original pit has been reduced about
six feet due to the tremendous
pressure of this accumulating weight.
This apparently Is the genesis of
the steel-like glacier ice formed by
COMPRISING the peculiarly sandlike
snow of the region.
Before leaving six years ago SCI
entists of the former expedition

the pit. These were nearly perfect

In, 1945, the witness continued,
THE court went a step further and
ruled that time spent by coal min

the mine was compensate working
time"
Finally, last summers decision in
the Mount Clemens case held that
the act requires compensation for
such incidental activities of en-
ployes as walking time, time re-
quired for changing clothes, ETC., -
Mr.. Smith said, adding:
IF workers are to be paid from
the time they enter the door of the
plant until they reach their respec-
| tive places of work, who can say that
the courts will refuse to go another
step and require pay from the mo-
ment the employe touches foot or
any part of the employers premises

Mr.. Smith said that when the
immediate pressing problem (of por-
tai pay is disposed of, Congress
might well consider the advisability
of a thorough investigation Of the
circumstances surrounding the ini-
tiation of portal-to-portal pay suits. ,

LONDON, Feb. 3. - Britons
glumly faced the prospect OF
further food cuts and unemploy-
ment today - a development
which government leaders said
was inevitable unless they
worked harder and produced
more goods for expert to avert
an economic crisis. The con-
servative press speculated that
the situation might cause the
Attlee government to topple dur
ing the next few months.
Among those to strike a warning
note was Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Hugh Dalton, who re-
minded the people that they were
living on borrowed money and pre-
dicted that Britain would have tc
reduce her financial commitments
abroad in view of conditions at
home.
Speaking at Newcastle, center OF
the newly nationalized coal indus
try, Mr.. Dalton yesterday summed
up the nations position in this way
"We are now able to import more
than we export only because we
are living on tick, which we are
getting from the American and
Canadian lines Of credit. This
means we must export more or i'm
port Lessor both.
eff we have to reduce our i'm
ports it will simply mean that you
will all have less to eat and less
to smoke, and fewer clothes and
boots and shoes, and fewer houses
and less furniture and less employ
ment in many industries"
Mr.. Dalton laid no blame fo1
Britains difficulties on the Labor
government, but said:
Thank God We have Labor gov
ernment in power +. What a
disastrous mess the Tory Con
servatives) would have made OF
these difficult years of transition u
This view was not shared by the
conservative press, however.
The Sunday Chronicle stated that
members of Parliament, including
key Laborites, were discussing the
possibility that conditions leading
to the resignation of the government
may well develop during the next
three months" Other conservative
papers likewise limited that the
Attlee government might fall, or be
forced to form a coalition because of
the crucial situation.
Scolded by Big Business.
The government also came in for
a scolding at the hands of big busi-
ness.
The Westminster Bank, Ltd, de-
clared in its annual report that 1--WE
have not moved very far along the
road to recovery" and blamed "re-
pressive" controls imposed by the
government and the prevailing
psychological attitude of our people.
A gloomy outlook was depicted by
two automobile manufacturers, Sil
Miles Thomas, vice chairman of the
Nuffleld auto manufacturing or.
ganization, and Sir William Rootes
chairman of a number of motol
companies.
The Nufheld official said that due
to fuel shortage $4,000 workers were
being placed on a part time basis this
week. Sir William said it was doubt

circles. DR.. Howard found them
greatly f1attened into ellipses but
those near the top of the pit showed
the greatest flattening.
This, DR.. Howard says, epitomizes
the process which results in ice ages
over thousands of years. The snow
of one winter weighs down the snow
of the preceding winter compressing
1T into ice. This in turn congresses
ice underneath but ice can be COM
pressed only to q certain extent,
when it becomes absolutely rigid.
I At this point it starts to flow like
putty under its own weight and II
there is nothing in the way glacier
results which gathers force through
centuries and becomes a great ice
river. DR.. Howard has driven spikes
in the wall Of the pit precisely one
foot apart. When another expedition
comes here in four or five years, the
lessened distances between these
spikes will show the precise amount
of compression undergone by the ice.
The scientist also has collected
specimens. from various heights of
the pit wall for microscopic study of
ice crystal formation under pressure

A total of 169,654 persons re-
sponded to the plebiscite, the wit
ness told the committee. In favor
of national representation were 1885,
272, against 26,687.
"This," DR.. Jacobstein said, "con-
trasted with 1869 in favor of home
rule and 1860 against.
"a similar vote was held in 1898.
At that time, 1902 voted in favor
of national representation and 6,743

"It may be noted" commented
DR.. Jacobstein, that in both plebis-
cites a larger percentage of votes
was cast in favor Of national repre-
sentation than in favor of home
rule"

nc New Italian Cabinet
Ii Set UpAfier 7 Weeks
10 OF Political Biekerinq
BY the Associotsd Press

ROME, Feb. 3.-A new Italian
cabinet, differing little in politi-
cal balance from it's predecessor,
emerged today under the leader
ship of Premier Alcide de Gas
peri after two weeks of political
pickering that bade fair to un-
dermine the 7-month-old re-
public.
The new cabinet consists of seven
Christian Democrats, three Com
munists, three Socialists and two
Independents. In the outgoing gov
ernment the Christian Democrats
held II of the 81 posts, but they still
hold the premiership and several
highly important ministries.
Political disagreement over the Sc
lections continued until early yes
terday, when the last obstacle was
removed after leftist elements had
withdrawn their oposition to Luigi
Gasparotti as minister of national
defense on the grounds that he was
personally too conservative.
Five Posts Abolished.
GaSparotti was not present, how
ever, when President Enrico de Nj
cola swore in the cabinet yesterday,
because Allied authorities still must
approve this appointment.
Five cabinet posts were abolished
in the new cabinet and reduced to
sub secretariats, or consolidated.
There were only four new faces
among the Is men in the ministry.
De Gasperi, who resigned the pre-
miership two weeks ago, is having
his third experience as head of the
Italian government He was the last
premier of the monarchy and first
of the new republic.
Communists Lose Ground.
The Communists, who won six
posts closely allied with labor in the
cabinet, sustained a heavy loss in
the consolidation of the finance
ministry with the treasury under a
Christian Democrat.
Surrender Of the foreign ministry
by the Socialists enabled them to
avoid placing Socialist signature
on the italian peace treaty, which
is scheduled to be signed next week
in Paris, and which has caused bit
ter resentment among many Italians.
Count Carlo Sforza, who took over
the foreign affairs ministry, was
one of the few prominent Italians
who have not opposed signing the
treaty.
