cepted the extension of present law.
through 1949. The Aiken program
then would take effect January l,
1850.
House leaders, who agreed to the
program without any committee
study of specific provisions of the
Senate bill, have said they may
want to make some changes before
1t goes into effect.
Provisions of Measure.
The measure Mr.. Truman signed
provides for 1949:
/. Support of the basic commodi-
ties-wheat corn, cotton, rice, pea
nuts and tobacco-at 80 per cent OF
parity. Parity is calculated price
designed to give the farmer the same
purchasing power, in relation to
other parts of the economy, that he
had in some base period usually
l909-l914.
All the basic commodities are now
supported at 80 per cent of parity
except cotton, for which the figure is
92l2 pe' cent.
2. Support of the so-called stea-
gall commodities at from go per
cent of parity to the highest support
level of 1948. Dairy products, hogs,
poultry, eggs and irish potatoes
could be supported at no less than
80 per cent. Other steagall COM
modities include soybeans, fax
dried beans and peas.
3. Continuation of government au-
thority to impose production goals
and quotas on the price-supported
crops.
4. Continuation of the present
support program for wool.
Principal provisions of the per-
manent program which would 60
into effect in 1850:
l. Revision of the formula for
computing parity. The new formu-
la retains the 1909-14 base for de-
termining the relationship between
the prices of things the farmer buys
and sells. But it has been revised
to keep price relationships among
the various farm commodities in line
with the ratios which prevailed In
the most recent 10 years.
II will have the practical effect,
generally speaking, of raising parity
for livestock and its products and
lowering that for field crops.
2, Where the change from the
old. formula to the new resulted in
q difference of more than per cent
of the old parity price, the adjust
ment to the new price would be
gradual, at the rate of no more than
per cent year.
3. The Secretary of Agriculture
would be authorized to revise parity
of any commodity seriously out of
line with the parity price of other
products. Public hearings are stipu-
lated.
4 Corn. wheat, cotton, peanuts,
rice and tobacco are continued as
basic commodities. The tobacco
support level is pegged at 80 per
cent of parity. The other five would
be supported at from 60 to 90 per
cent of parity as the supply of any
commodity varied from 100 to 70
per cent of normal. The support
level would move up or down one
per cent for each two per cent
change in supply.
j Normal supply is defined as the
past years domestic consumption
plus anticipated exports, plus these
specific figures for carryover: corn
per cent; cotton, 30 per cent;
rice, 10 per cent; wheat, Is pei
cent; peanuts, Is per cent; tobacco
175 per cent of domestic consump-
ton plus IS per cent of exports,
g. The price of wool would be
supported at between so and 80 per
cert of parity, but at level de-

SCIENTIST
SEES EARTH
AS GAS BAG
AP Newsfeatnres

NEW YORK - "Sky and Tele-
scope" the astronomical magazine,
reports a theory that the central
part Of the earth is made of COM
pressed gas. r. r. Borcherds, of
South Africa, is author of the idea.
1t substitutes for the lOng-held
belief that beginning at depth of
about 1900 miles, the earth's core
is made of nickel-iron.
This iron core was invented TO
explain the eaTtll'S magnetism. Re.
Gently mathematics have indicated
that the magnetic poles are due
simply to the earth's rotation.
That permits other explanations
Of the earth's core. BOrcherds sup
poses this core to contain the same
substances familiar on the surface
and in mines. The proportions of
these substances may not be the
same in the core, but al lOf them
presumably are there.
He has to account for something
that earthquake waves show, that
seemed to support the iron core
theory. At 1900 miles down the
waves abruptly change. The change
is the same as would be made by a
quake wave going through nickel
iron.
BOrCherds says that temperatures
at 1900 miles down will account
equally we'll for this behavior Of
earthquake waves. He estimates
the preSSue at 1900 miles at about
5000 tons per square inch. The heat
from this preSsue he says is about
10000 Fahrenheit At earth'S cen.
ter he estimates the pressure at
about $4,000 tons a square inch.
The heat there he figures at near
" half a million degrees Fahren.
heit.
Whatever is down there he says
must be gas because of the great
heat. It is also so compressed that
oxygen is about as heavy as lead
and ar ounce of hydrogen, that
would occupy II cubic feet in the
air, is reduced to one-thousandth of
a cubic foot

different ways of giving it," Miss
Miller concluded. "Times have
changed since Katy felt the kitchen
for the factory. Peoples lives and
ways of living are different. Some
families do not want a maid-of-all-
work any more. They simply want
a maid to cook and serve dinner
Others want the house cleaned
daily. Still others need a part-time
nuTsemaid. So communities need to
survey the local situation and find
out what the need is.
'In some cities this is already
being done. Recently the Women's
Bureau surveyed 19 cities includ-
ing Syracus, N. Y, st. Louis, Mo-,
Cincinatti, Ohio, and Oakland, Cal.
We found that all had an active
group studying such questions as
training, working standards, hours,
etc. That's a fine beginning. But
more communities need to get busy
and much more work needs to be
done"

Dean Arm lauded his administra-
tive colleagues, who, he said, have
"an all-university viewpoint" rec
ognizing that the development of
any of the teaching fields strength

strengthen the departments which
have been less strong, but not to do
so at the expense of others more

ditions to the faculty whom he de-
scribed as outstanding" and said
that the University faces the fu-
ture with a well-qualified facul-
ty, an almost adequate plant, and,
most important, good backing
from the trustees and the people of
the state.
Citing the present undergradu-
ate enrolment of 1908, Dean Arm

student-faculty ratio of Is to /.
Among the steps in progress or
contemplated to improve the Uni

University Notes

The University of Delaware's
program is designed to serve as
many groups and interests as pos
sible, and when new wants appear
within the state they will receive
attention, Dean David L. Arm of the
University's School of Engineering
told the Alumni Associations Mid
Winter Banquet last (Sat) night at
Newark. His topic was THE Uni
yersity-Tcday and Tomorrow"
Speaking to more than 100 alum
nj and guests, including Governor
Walter w. Bacon, Dean Arm said
that it was the support of the peo-
pie of Delaware which had enabled
the University to give it's students
an education in which academic
standards are maintained. COntinu-
alton of this support, especially as
expressed through the Legislature,
is vital for greater strengthening
Of the University's services, the
dean declared.
"The degree has not been cheap
ened at the University of Della
ware" he said, Our students are
getting at least as good an educa-
tion as they would have received if
they had come under less crowded
conditions.
1--WE are thinking of the future in
terms of our services being render
ed to a student body of not less
than 1000 to 1900. We think this is
a good size, because we will then
be large enough to support the ac-
tivities we hope to carry on, but
still not large enough so that we
would lose the advantages of the
small college"
Emphasizing that he spoke not as
the head of the engineering pro-
gram but as a representative of the
entire University administration.

practices into various engineering
curricula; cooperative work with
the BiOchemical Research Founda-
tiOn in fields of chemistry to bio
logical problems; and the estab-
lishment of a new department Of
biological sciences.
Dean Arm traced the develop
ment OF the drama and music pro-
grams, which he described as ano-
ther service for all the people of
the state, and discussed the athlet-
ic program, which he said is an in
tegral part of the educational pic
ture at Delaware. 1--WE don't expect
athletics either to be ahead or be-
hind the rest of our program" he
said.

Must Be Won
Back to Work
By ADELAIDE kerr
AZ NeWsIeatures Writer


IF YOU dream that Katy the
Cook viii soon come back to the
kitchen and set you free from the
dishpan, you are due for a jolt.
A tophight labor expert says Ka-
IS will not come back while sObs
are plentiful outside unless the
American people take big steps to
induce her.
"And unless we take those steps,
we're are going to suffer hardship, :"
says Frieda Miller, director of the
Women's Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor. Il mean such hard
ship as lack Of care Of babies and
sick people or the breakdown Of
your mothers and working wives
because they have to work too
hard.
II think we could well borrow
some ideas from other countries in
solving this problem of home help
TO relieve women. I don't mean we
should copy them on a national
scale, but rather adapt them local
ly."
Miss Miller sketched briefly the
plans Of three countries.
In England" she said. "the gov
ernment launched a National In
stitute of HouseWOrkers. It is de-
signed to raise hOuseWOrkers' So
cial standing and give them better
working conditions. The Institute
schools them in housekeeping
methods and gives them graduate
diploma, SO they have a profession
al standing. The first group OF
girls and women trained under
this Plan win receive their diplo-
mas this spring.
Institute hOuseWOrkers will
work "A hours a week at most and
get fixed wages which cannot fall
below a certain sum. They will be
entitled to one and a half free days
a week every week and two weeks
paid vacation year. When the
plan was launched in 1947, appli-
cations for training from steno-
eraphers, war widows and former
service women flowed in"
AS a second example, Miss Mill
er cited Sweden, which passed a
1914 national law covering domes-
tic workers rights and stating en-
plOyers' responsibilities. It does not
fix either a minimum wage or max
imum hours Of service. But it stip-
ulate that houseWOrkers shall not
work after seven, shall have cer-
tain free time weekly and enjoy
free vacations based on their
length of service. They are also en-
titled to a room Of a certain stand
ard and medical care when i'll.
The WOmen's Bureau head
thinks Australians also can teach
an interesting lesson on how to
provide help. In Sydney four hus-
key veterans founded a business
giving maid service.
Besides thinking Of ways to
make hOusewOrk attractive to wo-
men again, we need to plan for
