WEATHER: SPELL 1t Whether

Congress put up the money and the
Weather Bureau and the Air Force
went to work, aided by the Navy and
the National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics.
An area near Wilmington, Ohio,
was selected. They concentrated on
determining the economic impor-
tance and usefulness" of rain making
with dry ice and other stimuIators.
This is their conclusion on the basis
Of completed winter tests:
Methods so far tried are quite in
effective in producing rain from win
ter-type stratus clouds. No ap-
preciable amounts of precipitation
were observed unless it was raining
or showing naturally within 80 miles
Of the treated clouds. Even when pre-
cipitation was produced, it was too
little to be Of economic Importance"
The Army and Navy also were dis
appointed. Researchers were unable
to open holes in clouds sufficiently
large for storm-bound planes to seek

Thirst
Biz ReVenUe Producers

Liquor consumption has grown
faster than population ever since re-
peal in 1888, the Treasury reports.
Spending on whisky, it says, has
risen more than the general income
level since the war began.
1t buttresses the spending assertion
by showing that of every $1OO left to
consumers after taxes, $3.50 was
spent on whisky in 1946 compared
with 1920 in preWar 1899.
These conclusions are in a 1OO-page
Treasury analysis for Congress of
federal taxes on alcoholic beverages.
The Treasury makes no recommen-
dations. Its analysis gives no indica-
ton that the Treasury wants any
change in taxes.
1t points out that the whisky tax
of SO on each 1OO-proof gallon is the
governments biggest revenue raiser
in the excise tax field.
Beer taxes of SO on each 31-gallon
barrel are the next greatest revenue
producer among excise taxes after
liquor and cigarette taxes. Beer taxes
yielded 1851, 100000 in fiscal 1947.

BERLIN: The East-Wesf Arena

TTTHAT are the factors behind
w the Berlin blockade and the
east-West power plays that are
turning steadily in the direction
of meeting force with force?
Berlin is a "landlocked island"
occupied jointly by the four allied
powers, deep within the Soviet zone.
A month ago when the Russians
closed the land supply routes into
Berlin from the west, they made it
plain they did not want the British,
French or Americans to remain in the
capital. The European Recovery Pro-
gram, which communists have vowed
to sabotage, was getting underway
and the three western powers had
agreed to set up a separate western
German state.
Britain and the United States mo-
bilized huge air transports to fly in
supplies for their military garrisons
and the civilian population of more
than 100000 in the three western
sectors. At its peak, this "air lift' has
brought $500 tons a day to be-
leaguered Berlin at a cost of $4,000
daily.
Washington, London and Paris adj
dressed stiff protests on the blockade
directly to Moscow. The Kremlin of
fered to hold a four-power conference
on the whole German question, but
the west replied that it would not me-
gotiate while the blockade is in effect.
Tension Mounts
Since then tension has been build
ing steadily. The Russians limited they
might close the air corridors. Soviet
squadrOnS began training maneuvers
near the corridors, and Yak fighters
began buzzing transports and Berlin
airdromes in the western sector.
The United States sent so of its
famed B-29s to England on training
flight.
Washington and London proposed
sending an armed convoy over the
autobahn to Berlin but Paris de-
INJURED. Another proposal was to send
an armed military train on the sole
rail link to Berlin, but there were re-
ports that the Russians had ripped up
sections of the line for repairs"

Bridge
Worlds Biggest

The City Of New York asked the
War Department this week for per
mission to build the worlds largest
suspension bridge.
The proposed bridge would span
the New York Harbor Narrows and
connect Brooklyn and Staten Island.
1t would cost IS million dollars. take
at least three years to build and its
center span of 1920 feet would be
237 feet above the water-euuivalent
to the height of a 22-story building.
City planners said the War Depart
ment opposed the bridge several
years ago because it might block
navigation if destroyed during war
time. Federal policy may have
changed, however, since the War De-
partment approved a bridge across
the Delaware River seaward of the
Philadelphia Navy Yard.

Francisco-now the worlds largest
suspension bridge-is an example of

Other players in the game are the
Republican majority and the Demo-
cratic minority in Congress. Another

Presidential nominee.
Il viii be a game Of showdown. All

Truman Strategy
Mr.. Truman's strategy apparently
is to stress domestic affairs and to at
tack what he calls the "reactionary"
record Of the Both Congress on such
issues as prices and housing. He may
try to drive a wedge between the Re-
publican Old Guard, which wrote
much Of that record, and younger ele-
ments within the party.
Republican leaders in Congress may
counter the Presidents drive by re-
introducing a civil rights bill. South
ern Democrats who bolted their party
convention because Of that plank in
the platform will get their chance to
snaTl the session by filibustering.
Unless the President has something
new to offer Monday, say. Republican
leaders, he has slight chance of get
ting new domestic program enacted.

and consumer ratiuning were rejected
by a Democratic Congress in 1916.

Archaeology
Ancient America


Two interesting archaeological finds
were reported this week. A carving.
found on the shores of Mexico's pre-
historic Lake Texcoco, is estimated to
be 10000 years old. Evidence of a
5000 to 10,000-year-old Pinto culture
house has been unearthed at a pre-
historic desert campsite 18O miles
northeast of Los Angeles.
The carving is about 10000 years
older than the Tepexpan Man whose
discovery won international recogni-
ton for DR.. Helmuth de Terra. Vik-
ing Fund anthropologist.
The carving, about one and a half
inches long, was brought to De Terra
from a sandpit near where De Terra
found the Tepexpan Man. Cut from
an elephant molar, it now reposes in
the Mexican National Museum in
Mexico City.
1T is interesting and heretofore
unknown" said DR.. De Terra, chat
man lived as early as 10000 years ago
on this continent and also. that earlv
man had a higher culture than sup
posed"
The Pinto culture remains were
discovered by an expedition from the
Southwest Museum, headed by DR..
Mark B. Harrington. A series of post
holes, laid out in the shape of a rec
tangle, outline a One-room dwelling.
Pinto relics-stOne utensils, arrow
points and tools-were found on the
floor.
Since last March, DR.. HARRINGTON
and his party have been digging into
the site of an ancient Indian encamp-
ment two miles from Little Lake.
Calf. Probing along the lava-walled
banks of long-vanished river, they
have turned up thousands of imple-
ments, animal bones, weapons and a
few human bones.
The expedition has returned to Los
Angeles to await passage of the burn
ing summer heat. Excavation of the
Campsite will be resumed in the fall.

Science
John Browns ,Master ceIIs,

Police went to the rescue this week
Of John Browns body, his crops and
his master cells"
Recently Brown, retired pharma-
cist turned farmer, claimed that he
had discovered master cell which
produces phenomenal crops and is eff
fective in control of poultry and
cattle diseases.
The crowds came after reading his
story. More than 1,000-many seeking
samples of the master cell" to cure
their ills-overran Browns farm OUT
side Middleboro, Mass. He was de-
luged with mail from nearly every
state in the nation, Many of the writ
ers sought cures and many sent
money.
Police roped off a 3OO-foot space
near the farmhouse and barred all
but farmers. Brown says he intends
to limit use Of the master cell" to
farmers. That way, he says, farmers
will produce bumper, healthy crops
and those will, in turn, benefit hue
manity.
The ex-pharmacist explains that
ColIoloal solution containing master
cells" is contained in a porous cement
matrix. These matrices are placed in
wells or in the soil, he says, to pass
into the metabolism Of poultry, anie
mails or plant life.

OF New Hampshire bacteriologist, who
studied the method said it ''needG

Atom Still
A Problem

'JETHEN the United Nations
w General Assembly convene6
at Paris in September, the United
States will keep pressing for Inc
ternational control Of atomic enc
ergy despite the deadlock with
Soviet Russia over the issue.
Harvesting the atom remains parae
mount problem Of humanity, said Sec.
retary Of State Marshall. ''Sham con.
troll" he added, "is worse than none.
A new publication by the State De-
partment entitled "Policy at the
Crossroads" reviews this country's
futile efforts to devise a system Of
worldwide control.
Deadlock Last May
The document covers the period be-
tween late 1946 and May II, 1948.
when the U.N. Atomic Energy Control
Commission reported hopeless dead
lock and handed the problem back to
the Security Council.
In the new publication, Marshall
notes that only Russia, Poland and
Tie OOV4eG ukraine among the IL ma
tions represented on the control COM
mission blocked agreement.
Marshall cites the fact that Russia
has insisted upon a treaty outlawing
atomic weapons and calling for their
immediate destruction before con-
slderation of any system Of control"
A Temporary Monopoly
The us. position is that this coun-
try as holder of temporary monop-
oily over atomic weapons must con-
tinue to remain strong in this field
until the monopoly can be EXCHANGED
safely for effective worldwide control.
In London, the Council of the
Atomic Scientists Association an
nounced it has given up hope of in
ternational control of the atom while
the cold war" continues between
Soviet Russia and the west.
