Oil Sewing Machine

When not in use, keep the sewing
machine covered to protect it from
dust. Letting the presser foot down
on scrap of cloth helps the tension
to stay at proper adjustment and
also takes up any excess oil that
may run down the needle bar. If
the machine is left idle for con-
siderable time. occasional oiling
keeps the oil in the machine from
drying and becoming gummy.

Layers Of Heat
At High Levels
w Rocket Thermometers
Record Blazing Zones
so to IS Miles Up. I

WASHINGTON. - Scientists told
newspapermen recently that layers
Of blazing heat have been found in
the frigid upper atmosphere.
It always had been assumed that
above seven miles the temperature
remained constant at 81 degrees be-
low zero Fahrenheit.
But thermometers in rockets
have disclosed a torrid zone with
heat of ITO degrees between the 30
and 40-mile mark.
From 40 to so miles, the air grows
colder again. the temperature prob
ably dropping as low as $50 below
zero. The thermometers there reg
istered 80 below.
Then from so to rs miles occurs
another torrid zone where the
rocket thermometer recorded 212
degrees and scientists calculated
the maximum probably is 638 de-
grees.
Cause New Designs.
Beyond IS miles is question
mark. That is as high as investiga-
tions have been made, but research
is being continued to extend their
range.
These discoveries were an
nounced by the national advisory
committee for aeronautics, causing
it to supplement it's standard atmos-
phere data officially adopted in
1925
''These new findings" its state
ment said, will make necessary
new design and construction tech
niques to permit aircraft operation
in these torrid zones"
But that is something for the
future. Planes thus far have not
operated much beyond 10 miles
high.
The new data was obtained by
thermometers in W. rockets
launched at White Sands, N. M. OFF,
cials said the findings confirm new
theories that there are layers of
hot and cold air above the earth
which remain in permanent posi-
ton, never fluctuating widely in
altitude, although they may become
hotter or colder with the seasons.
The committee includes scientists
from the weather bureau, the army
and navy and universities. It's chair
man is DR.. Harry Wexler Of the
weather bureau, authority on spe-
cial air studies.
COsmic Dust Area.
The committee statement said
the layers of hot and cold air exist
because Of the changing compost
ton of the air itself.
''The first increase in .tempera-
ture begins at about $4,000 feet In
the ozone layer which has the
property Of absorbing and holding
more heat from the sun than the
air below it," the statement said.
This ozone layer is composed Of
heavy oxygen. Its formation is
favored by the presence of large
cold air masses. The scientists said
the greater quantity Of ozone pro-
duced in winter is one reason fewer
suns rays reach the earth at that
time of year. Another is the tilt of
the earth away from the sun.
Above the ozone layer the tenn
peratures fall until they average
about 70 below zero at SO miles and
may go to $50 below.
''The second rise in temperature
is caused by another layer which
varies in height from 250,OOO to
275,000 feet" the committee said.
''It is composed partly of cosnic
dust particles, which also hold more
heat than the atmosphere below.
This layer is also a region OF
'ionization,' or exchange of free
electrons. This process in itself gen.
crates a certain amount of heat"

that Gen. Marshall was incorrect
and said he would prove it. His
reply was expected yesterday, but
was not produced when the Coun-
cil-instead of debating repara-
tions-took up secondary German
economic issues.
The only agreement of signifi-
canoe reached in this discussion was
that if and when all Germany is
unified the level of steel produc-
ton should be set at II 500, 900 ingot
tons per year. Steel output is meas
ured on the basis of other Ger
man industrial production.
(Total steel production in the
United States this year is ex-
pected to reach about 85,000,000
tons0
Mr.. Molotov sought to have this
tentative decision made final at
once and applied to all Germany
Immediately by the Allied Control
Council at Berlin. This Is in line
with his evident strategy to get at
least some overall agreement here
which would provide basis for new
Russian insistence that the United
States and Britain should stop oper-
ating their two zones jointly and
exclusively of the rest of Germany.
Gen. Marshall and Mr.. Bevin sue
cessfully insisted, however, that any
agreement on industry or any other
single phase of German economy
must be subject to a final overall
agreement on the actual economic

Chest Merger Urged
For Arlington, Fairfax
And Alexandra Area

Consolidation Of Fairfax, Arling-
ton and Alexandra Welfare Coun-
cils and Community Chests into one
organization was suggested last
night by Wallace s. Hughes, execu-
tive director OF the Alexandria Chest
and Council.
Mr.. Hughes told meeting Of the
Alexandra Community Welfare
Council that this move would
streamline Chest operations. His
plan called for one executive and
one headquarters operating for the
three communities as a Community
Chest Of Northern Virginia, which
would continue to participate in the
Community Chest Federation for
the Metropolitan Area.
Mr.. Hughes made his recommen-
dation after pointing out that the
federation campaign raised only
8138 per cent Of its goal in the
drive that closed last night. Other
recommendations he made to meet
a reduced budget were:
l. Consolidation of the Alexandria
Visiting Nurse Service with the
Community Health Center, includ-
ing transfer OF supplies and per-
sonnel. Also that arrangements be
made. If possible, with the City
Health Department for temporary
use of quarters by the Visiting Nurse
Service, unless quarters can be OBJ
tanned elsewhere at less cost.
. 2. Inclusion of the Community
Health Center and the Visiting
Nurse Service as a part Of Alex
andria Hospital and that If the
change can be made between now
and the first of the year, reason
able fund be appropriated for the
hospital for clinics, medical social
service and disqualification.
4. The Public Welfare Depart
ment be requested to assume re-
sponsibility for financing the
transient program, providing the
cost to the Salvation Army on the
basis Of payment for room and
board Of transients.
5. Facilities Of the Hopkins House
and Bethune Branch, YWCA, be
consolidated under the board
policies and programs of the YWCA.
6. The Catholic Charities of
Northern Virginia and Family Serv-
ice Society confer as soon as pos
sible regarding combining programs
which would reduce operating costs.
The Welfare Council voted that
Mr.. Hughes recommendation be
discussed among representatives of
the agencies involved so that the
proposals could be put into effect
swiftly in case the Alexandria
Chest suffers a sharp cut in its al
location.
The council voted to seek inclu-
sion Of a $23,860 item in Alexan-
dria's 1948 budget to establish a
dental health program in the
schools.
The dental health program as
outlined in committee report re-
suited from the recent dental sur
'vey OF all Alexandria schoolchil-
dren, conducted with the aid of
students from Georgetown and How
ard Universities. Results of the
survey showed that Of 6,356 white
and colored children examined in
public and parochial schols, 5,207

MOSCOW, Dec. IL (P.-The gov

serted today that negotiations

don were contributing materially to

ference.
Izvestia did not specify who, in its
opinion, was responsible for these

doubt in the minds of readers that
it was referring to the United
States.
'The hypocritical policy of Janus
which the United States delegation
is trying to carry out in London
deceives no one," said the article.
(Janus was an ancient Roman diety
with two faces.
"The impasse in the London ses-
sion, over which British and Ameri-
can newspapers have been doing so
much shouting" Izvestia went on,
has its foundation not SO much in
the speeches of the delegates as in
that realistic policy which is being
