worlds largest untapper store OF
uranium and radium is being
measured by a Swedish deep
sea expedition led by Prof. Hans
Peterson, of Goteborg.
The expedition, aboard the =
-40O-ton motor schooner AL
batross, has studied the deep
ocean and it's bed during a voy-
age across the Atlantic and Car
ibbean and recently entered the
Pacific through the Panama
Canal.
Many lines of research are be-

of uranium and radium, made
by analyzing large volumes of
sea water taken from different
depths, were not directed at dis

"Such measurements have be-
come of especial Importance be-
cause of the light they may shed

They hazarded guess that the

A former police prefect of the

about 1000 gallons. Only cne OF

An equally novel method OF
sampling the sediment itself was
undertaken. A hollow core of
metal was lowered to the sedi-
ment and a core of ooze extract
ed from the sea floor. The cores
were sent to Sweden for study.
Assuming the sediment to in
crease by three inches in 1000
years in the Atlantic Ocean, the
lower strata of core 6 inches

PARIS, Nov. q - W.D - The
gasoline fountain of Fleurette
has petered out and strictly
rationed French motorists were
bitterly disillusioned.
Previously famous only as the
site of some lovemaking by King
Henry w and his gardeners
daughters, the venerable old
spring at Nerac, near the Franco
Spanish border, made headlines
all over France. It began to spout
gasoline.
Reports reaching the capital,
presumably exaggerated, said the
fountains output was about rs
per cent gasoline and would
burn. Residents of Nerac and
vicinity were gleefully storing it
up in the hope of finding some
way to refine the water out of
it.
Motorists all over France,
whose basic ration of only five
gallons month was cut to zero
last month, took heart.
The nations most eminent ge-
ologists, though dubious, went to
the scene.
Enthusiasts recalled pre-war
geological explorations tending to
show the existence of a shelf of
oil-bearing shale running through
Nerac.
But the percentage of gasi-
line in the water flowing from
the fountain of Fleurette notice
ably diminished. 1t would no
longer burn.

|JSSR Reduces Grants
For Large Families
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

MOSCOW, Nov. 27.-The Soviet
government announced yesterday
that it would reduce by SO per cent
the state grants paid to mothers
of three or more children, pos
sible indication that the Russian
birth rate is at very high level.
An official decree of the Presidium
of the Supreme Soviet said the re-
duction was made because "the
value of the ruble has been strength
ened."
Some sources said, however, that
regardless of the purchasing power
of the ruble the reductions would
not have been decreed unless the
present birth rate were high.
It is believed here that the Rus
sian birth rate before the war was
the highest of any European coun'
try. Although it is impossible to
|estimate the current birth rate, some
sources said the state grant reduc-
ton might mean that it is now even
higher than before the war.
Initial, one-time grants ranged
from 400 rubles (about SIS at the

New York Rent Law S
Eviction Restriction
Declared Invalid
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-A city
rent-control provision which pro-
hibts evictions without approval of
the city Housing Rent Commission
was declared invalid yesterday by
Justice Meier Steinbrink in Supreme
Court.
Justice Steinbrink ordered, how
ever, that execution of his decision
be postponed to allow the city to
seek further test of the law in the
appellate division.
Immediately after the opinion was
announced Paul L. Ross, chairman
of the Rent Commission. said in
statement the law would be admin
istered until the further court test
was completed.
Landlords Cautioned
Landlords are cautioned to COM
ply with the requirements of that
law" Mr.. Ross said. Landlords who
evict or attempt to evict tenants in
violation of that law or regulation
will be prosecuted by the city Rent
Commission"
He said he had been directed by
Mayor O'DWyer to take all neces-
sary steps to maintain the validity
of the law.
Justice Steinbrink ruled that the
regulation, local law 66, is incom-
patible with the State Civil Practices
Act ''in so far as it assumes to i'm
pose restrictions upon the rights Of
litigants to bring actions and pro-
ceedings in the courts to recover
possessions of dwelling space"
Refused to Issue Warrant.
The ruling followed appeal by a
Brooklyn landlord to the Supreme
Court after Municipal Court Justice
Harold j. Mclaughlin ordered evic-
ton of family of nine but refused
to order issuance of warrant with
out which the eviction could not be
carried out.
Justice Mclaughlin ordered two
stays and withheld the warrant un-
til the landlord had obtained GER
tiflcate from the Rent Commission
permitting the eviction.
The landlord then asked Justice
Steinbrink for an order compelling
Justic Mclaughlin to issue the war

Montereau, 20 to 40 miles south of
Paris.
Then Patton got a very illuminat-
ing fill-in on group background, in
volving a hot wrangle in inner
SHEAF circles.
A Group source told him Mont
gomery had demanded the assault
on Germany be concentrated along
the Channel coast, with both his
and Bradley's Group being employed
for this purpose. Bradley vigorously
objected to this, insisting it would
enable the enemy to mass all his
strength in one area.
Bradley urged a double-barreled
assault by Montgomery in the north;
by 18th Army Group in the south
! Montgomery's Demand
Eisenhower, according to Patton's
| information, supported Bradley.
Wherepon, Montgomery then de-
manded that he be reinforced with
an American Army. 1t was agreed
that if any army was placed under
Montgomery. it would be the 9th
United States Army, soon to arrive
in Brittany. Also, that it would
not comprise more than five divi-
sions.
To Patton, this inside back
ground was as suggestive as it was
illuminating. He had been porine
over maps Of the Metz-Nancy area
since the Mortain battle. He i'm
mediately put the planning group tc
work on a Saar-R Rhine offensive.
Soon Sd Army had Paris in the

Third Army's previously extraor-
binary tactical situation now was
fantastic. In a zone over $50 miles
in length and 120 miles in width, it
was waging practically every type
of warfare simultaneously in foul
different directions-north, south
east, and west.
At this time 1st Army and q
Army Group, each larger than
Sd Army, still were mopping UP

graphs - the practical applica-
ton of which, as experience has
shown, has often been unsatisfac-
tory can replace the essential
condition for peace, which is har-
monious cooperation among the

Mr.. linden further called atten-
ton to the fact that the United
Nations has from the beginning
attained a higher degree of uni
versatility than the old League. He
hoped, however, that the Assem-
bly, would try to apply this prin-
ciple as fully as possible. 1T h e
United Nations is meant to be a
truly universal organization, a
body fully representative of the
whole world, and I think that
we would act in the best and the
most generous spirit of the Char
ter if we could agree to open the
doors to all the nations now wait
ing for admission. Let us be gen.
erous. Generosity is essential in
all human life and not least in
international life"
The question of a more effec-
tive use of the services of the
Secretariat was also raised by
Swedens spokesman. 1T seems
to me that it would be a healthy
sign of confidence if the Assem-
bly, would decide to recommend
that the various Councils a n d
Committees make greater use of
the services of the Secretariat. .
In this connection, Mr.. linden
