Western Europe
 Divided Aid Funds
By Joseph E. DYnan)

PARIS, (H0 - The nations of Western Europe Saturday reached the first milestone in working to- gether for mutual recovery when their delegates agreed on the divi- sion of S4,875 5O0O,OO0 in American aid funds.
 The decision for the first year of European Recovery Program em- braces a system of intra-EurOpean assistance which has still to be filled out by an agreement on cur rency exchanges.
 The council of the European Economic Cooperation o rganiza- ton prepared these agreements in a six-hOur session Friday night. Work on the scheme for currency payments continued Saturday.
 As soon as the council agrees on the currency proposals it will go to work on the details of the l94849 recovery program for submission  10 the American economic cooper ation ECA). Each participating nation is to alter its program to conform with the aid allotments drawn up Friday night. The com plete program should be ready by Sept. 25.
 The proposed division of Ameri- can aid for the first year, as re- Vealed by the council, gave Britain the greatest amount-S1,123,000,- 900. This was a cut of S10,000,000 from the British portion in the schedule originally drawn by the 1 councils subcommittee of experts.

AirIines Have Stop Lii ghts, Tool!

ANCHORAGE (P)-It'S believed to be the only one in Alaska and maybe in the World-a stop light to keep airplanes and automobiles from tangling at an intersection.
 The light is out at Merrill Field, where the Palmer highway passes an airstrip. Sometimes cars are stopped for two blocks, waiting for the planes to land or take off.
 Field manager Roy Heaton said 2l,274 operations were recorded at the field last month-an all-time high. The figure did not include practice maneuvers by student pi- lots or civilian flights from several fields within a seven-mile radius of Merrill.

(lF) Special Washington SerVice)
 WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Cain R.-Wash.p has asked attorney general Clark for complete report on vice conditions in Fairbanks, Alaska.
 Gains office announced the ac- ton and said it was taken after residents of the city had complain ed to the Senator that gambling and prostitution were unchecked there.
 They asked, Gains aides said, if the government could not step in and remedy the conditions.

Demand Strong For Farm Equipment
This Spring Despite Lower Markets

With the farm financial picture
continuing bright despite the Febru-
ary break in commodity prices, there
has been no evidence so far of
farmers starting to trim their buy
ing of machinery for their fields or
furnishings for their homes.
Delivery of farming equipment
this spring and summer still will not
be able to keep pace with the de-
mand, dealers said this week; and
house furnishings, new automobiles,
etc, are being bought as eagerly as
before grain and livestock prices
receded.%
One effect of the price-break, how
ever, is a noted unwillingness of
farmers to pay "Grey-market"
prices for needed farm equipment in
those districts where that form of
trading had become a practice.
In the wake of the weakening Of
'grey market" dealings, it was
learned that in some farming areas
premiums of as much as $1,000 above
list prices had been paid for trucks

Bluffton missionaries to the north
ern provinces of India, on the
Tibetan border, were caught for a
time in the Indian communal riots.
according to a letter received this
week from Rev. and Mrs. Charles
Warren; Rev. and Mrs. E. 3. Steiner
and Dr.. and Mrs. Bradford Steiner.
Rev. Warren formerly served as a
temporary pulpit supply pastor at
the Bluffton Ebenezer Mennonite
church.
Mrs. Warren and DR.. Steiner are
children of Rev. and Mrs. Steiner,
and saw their parents for the first
time in 10 years when they sailed
from this country, arriving in India.
on June T.
After the family reunion in
Bombay, the two newly arrived
families went to a missionary lang
uage school in Landour, and were
there when the communal riots broke
out. As a result they left earlier
than had been planned to take up
their missionary duties in the north
ern Indian provinces. Altho they
suffered no harm in the riots, they
were delayed at one railroad station
for 10 days before they could pro-
ceed, and DR.. Steiner and Mrs.
Warren gave madical assistance 10
the local Moslem refugee camp.

In Remembrance

In loving memory of Marshall
Jennings who passed away four
years ago, March 10, 1914.
They never quite leave us,
Our dear ones who have passed
Through the shadows of death
To the sunlight above;
A thousand sweet memories
Are holding them fast
To the places they blessed
With their presence and love.
The work which they left
And the books which they read
Speak mutely, though still,
With an eloquence rare,
And the songs that they sang,
The words that they said,
Yet linger and sigh on the desolate
air.
And oft when alone, and oft in the
throng,
Or when evil allures US, or sin draw
eth nigh,
A whisper comes gently, "Nay dc
not the wrong"
And we feel that our weakness
Is pitied on high.
Sadly missed by

comments: "The medical work is
one of our most important means of
contact with the people. Shortly
after arriving, Dr. Steiner success
fully performed an emergency ab-
dominal operation under lantern
light, without gown or gloves, and
with a few drops Of local anesthesia.
"The patient was a 10-year-o!d
boy brought in a serious condition
from a village two days journey
inside Nepal. Recently Bradford
was called into Nepal "a land closed
to the Gospel to treat high
government official. Before examin-
ing the patient, he prayed in Hindu,
preaching a sermon in the prayer.
At the end of the examination he
gave the patient a New Testament,
In return the patient gave Bradford

Scientists Find Fourth Layer
of Worlds Electric Blanket

picture of the causes and compost
ton OF the four-layered blanket.
1t is due to ionized molecules and
atoms-that is, elementary particles
which have been stripped Of some
of their outer electrons, thus setting
up electric currents. This ioniza-
ton, it has been recognized for some
years, is due TO ultraviolet light
from the sun.
The newer data, DR.. Menzel said.
makes it almost certain that the
most important factor Is the solar
corona, the great ring of pearl-col-
ored light which surrounds the sun
but which is visible only during a
total eclipse. From it great streams
of light constantly are shooting into
space. The temperature of the sur
face of the sun itself is only about
5000 degrees centigrade. It is prob
able, however, that the temperature
in the corona, many thousands of
miles from the solar surface, ap-
proaches million degrees.
Light Sources Now Known.
The strange coronal light, which
physicists long believed was due to
some element unknown on earth,
now is known to be due to electron-
stripped atoms of iron, calcium and
nickel, DR.. Mcneil said. Million

to produce such . condition.
With this enormous source Of
energy provided, he explained, it is
possible to explain the four electric
layers in the earth's atmosphere.
The shortest and most powerful
of the ultraviolet waves from the
corona strike nitrogen atoms in the
highest levels of the atmosphere and
strip away electrons. This produces
the newly discovered G layer. The
next most powerful have the same
effect on nitrogen molecules. COM
hinations of two or more atoms, pro-
ducing the upper F layer.
Lower down the tenuous atmos-
phere is filled with single atoms of
oxygen. When these are stripped
the lower r layer results. Some of
the energy still is getting through
and strips electrons from oxygen
molecules - combinations of two
oxygen atoms such as are found in
the atmosphere at the earth's sur
face. This results In the lowest of
the electric layers.

| TORY, Calf, July 3.-The earth Is
wrapped in a four-layered electric
blanket.
| Discovery of a &C. layer of the
ionosphere, partly due to japanese
documents captured near the end OF
the war, was announced to the
American Astronomical Society here
by DR.. Donald H. Menzel of Harvard
University.
|. The discovery resulted from a CO.
operative project carried out by DR.
Menzel and DR.. Dana Bailey of the
United States Bureau of Standards.
A three-layered ionosphere long
has been recognized, following
crucial experiments nearly 20 years
ago by Drs. Merle Tuve and George
Brett at the Carnegie Institution OF
Washington. This is what makes
long distance radio transmission pos
sible. Otherwise the radio waves
would escape into space. They are
bounced back from these walls of
highly electrified gases.
Likened to Wire Meshes..
DR.. Menzel likened the picture to
three layers of wire meshes, each
with different-sized holes, with the
radio waves comparable to various
sized balls thrown upward. The first
roof, or E layer, about so miles high,
has the largest mesh and stops
only the biggest "balls." or longest
radio waves in the long distance
spectrum. About so miles higher is
the F one layer with a much
smaller mesh which bounces back
all but the shortest waves. Some
of these get through but are stopped
by a third layer about 200 miles
above the earth.
The hitherto unknown G layer is
about so miles higher and serves
as a final bouncing wall 1t is
studied by sending radar pulses up
ward and measuring with extreme
precision the time required for their
return to the earth's surface.
The G layer has been missed
hitherto, DR.. MenZel said, because 1t
is entirely masked nearly every
where on earth by the uppermost
F layer. 1t can be found ordinarily
only in the vicinity of the magnetic
equator, a great circle around the
world following roughly the line
of the true equator. There ap-
parently prevailing circulation of
the upper atmosphere sweeps away
almost entirely the ionized mole
cules and atoms which constitute
the third fold of the electric
blanket.
Phenomenon Suspected.
Some such phenomenon had been
suspected by Bureau of Standards
experts. Abnormalities of radio
transmission in Sumatra, which lies
on the magnetic equator, apparently
puzzled japanese Army scientists,
and during the war they accumu-
lated an enormous amount of OBJ
servations which they were unable
to interpret. Capture of their rec
ords provided missing link in the
investigation.
