CHICAGO Aug. 9-(P-Corn set
the pace for a grain market which
roared ahead into new high ter
ritory with turnover heavy on the
board Of trade today.
Corn scared as much as eight
cents a bushel, the limit permitted
in a single session, and again
marked up a new set of all-time
records. Wheat and oats were
very strong, making larger gains
than any other day this week.
The September corn contract
sold at 1888 ga, up eight cents
and a new all-time high for any
corn future. In the cash market,
yellow corn brought as much as
$2.48 a bushel, more than 10 cents
higher than the August, 1917, rec
ord of $2.3S IL which had stood
until yesterday.
Corn closed 7 7-8 to 8 cents

Little America Undergoing
Face Lifting; Explorer Says

CThe following story of what
is happening now in the Ant
arctic is written by Alton L.
Blakeslee, who accompanied
the Byrd expedition to the
south Polar region last spring
as correspondent for the Asso-
ciated Press.)
BY ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Reporter
NEW YORK, Aug. g. up AT
Little America, two titanic jaws
of ice are locked in silent struggle
in the stygian darkness of the long
south Polar night.
The decision, coming with a
%deafening th%underclap OF ripping,
crashing ice, may send Little
America " riding out to e on
an iceberg. Little America w is
the tent-town built and used by
the 1946-47 navy Antarctic expe-
dition.
Each jaw of ice if 500 to 1000
feet thick. Each has been moving
"A feet per day. Each is backed
with the crushing power of billions
of tons Of ice. Right about now,
says DR.. Paul Siple, veteran Ant
arctic scientist, these two jaws
have met and closed the Bay of
Whales - the 'harbor" of Little
America-at its mouth.
One or the other jaw, or per-
haps parts of both, must yield and
break in an inevitable "icequake."
The bay mouth will open again.
The break may reach back enough
to take away the tent town camp
with it.
No human eyes and probably
no animal eyes - are witnessing
the match. The six-months Polar
night shrouds the fur abandoned
Little America camps. The tenn
perature is 70 below zero. All is
silence, save when the billiards.
howl. Only the peeping moon may
see the break. Just what does hap
pen may not be known for years
until explorers again visit the
area.
Little America is the name of
a tlyspeck area atop a plateau OF
ice, the ross shelf ice, that
stretches 400 miles east tc west
across the Ross sea. The great
flat shelf runs as much as 400
miles southwark, toward the pole,
to the mountains and the glaciers
that push the shelf seward. The
only land at Little America is the
seabottom 1000 feet or so straight
down.
In 1929, when Rear Adm. Rich
ard E. Byrd first came there, the
bay of open water ran 10 miles
south, and was 1--WE miles wide.
Byrd went deep in to set up. his
base on the iceshelf. By 1941, the
bay was only a few miles long,
and l ~ miles wide.
Last Jan. IS, when our 1947 ex-
petition arrived, the bay mouth
was only 300 feet wide. An ice

Dor of about two-square miles of
open water.
DR.. Siple eagerly made studies.
He has been with every one OF
ne four expeditions, and in 1929
was the youthful boy scout repre-
sentative. Now he is a geograph-
er, cold-weather expert, and was
senior war department repre-
sentative on the last trip.
DR.. Siple found that both great
ice masses are moving at the rate
of one-quarter of a mile per year.
He found the bay mouth was clos
ing "A feet per day. In the 40
days the expedition was at Little
America, the width of the mouth
shrank 172 feet-out Of 800.
BY now the jaws have closed
tight, DR.. Siple said. Last Janu-
airy, he discovered that the jaws
had closed in 1916, too. At lat
time the p%ressures dug a nick out
Of the east cape, and broke off
a chunk Of the west cape one,
quarter to one-half a mile long.
The sears still showed. But with
the bay growing always smaller,
the pressures and force now are
much greater.
The bay broke back four miles
sometime between 1907 and 1910,
DR., Siple said. In time-perhaps
this year-the break may create
a huge new bay of 300 square
miles of open water. The bay ap-
parently was that large at one
time.
Such a cataclysm would make a
magnificent spectacle. but it is
one no human eyes are ever like

CAR PRICES MAKE
FOR CHEAPER FUEL
Charles Kettering Develop.
More Efficient
Motor

DETROIT, Aug. 9-W.H-Automo-
bile prices have climbed so high
that emphasis in the next few
years probably will be laid on
economy of operation since motor
lists now have about all the power
and speed needed.
More economic operation of cars
will be brought about through
more efficient engines and better
fuels, but this will be a gradual
development, perhaps without the
knowledge of most motorists.
But the steps toward more eff
Gent engines no doubt will be
taken-short ones at first along
the lines laid down recently by
Charles R. Kettering, retired Cen
raj Motors Corporation engineer.
At the same time, the petrole-
UNI industry will step up the grade
of gasolines to operate these i'm
proved engines, gradually over
coming the problems of manufac-
ture and distribution to corner fill
ing stations.
TO show what can be done, Ket-
tering made a new high compress
sion engine using SO to IS per cent
less fuel per horsepower than
present engines. This could sa re
the public ST. 900, 900, 900 a year for
gasoline.
But Kettering used triptane-a
fuel now being made only expert
mentally-for testing the new high
compression engine. With terra
ethyl lead added, triptane prob
ably has an anti-knoe-- rating five
times as great as 100 octane gaso-
line, the wartime military aviation
fuel.
To step up the grade of gasoline
from the present 1890 octane rat
ing, now required for the ordinary
automobile, to 100 octane would
be a huge job and cost many mil
lions of dollars.
To make 100 octane readily
dVallaDle at 11lllnS Sldt1OnS WOuId
require an inland network of re-
fineries in order to keep down dis
tribution costs to a level motor
lists could bear.
Kettering's experimental engine
was made from the drafting board
up. Its compression ratio is 1875
to l, compares to GA to l in pres
ent stock engines.
Compression ratio is the relation
between the size of the piston dis
placement at the bottom of the
doWnstroke and the size Of the
firing chamber at the top of the
piston's upstroke.
AS the compression ratio in
%creases, the greater becomes the
pressure, stresses, strain and ten
dency to vibrate and knock in an
engine.
Kettering deigned his engine to
offset the pressures and strains
and used triptane to eliminate the
knocks" present in lower grade
fuels.
