Half And Half

Housewives who believe farmers
are getting all the benefits of high
food prices are only half right. The
Agriculture Department reports that
the farmer in June received 81 cents
out of the consumers dollar. The
other 40 cents went to process,
package and deliver the food to the
retail grocery shelf and, finally, in
to the housewives market basket.

Earth Said to Have Lost 25R

throwing new light on the history OF
tn oceans, according to report by
DR.. Fred D. Phleger of the Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institute. They
reveal that ocean life. chiefly the
microscopic plants known as forami-
nifera, have undergone about the
same cycles Of tropical, temperate
and frigid forms as are shown by
the earth's ice ages for the past
10000 years.
The cores are taken from under
water as much as 1000 fathoms eaci,
and consist Of the ooze which Is ac-
cumulating on top OF the basic rock
at the rate Of an inch or so a cen
tury. IT the basic rock itself could
be reached 1t would be possible to
tell the entire age of the ocean.
Great weather cycles that sweep
down the ages must be associated
with major fluctuations in the radi-
alton Of the sun.
This was stressed by DR.. H. C.
Willett, Of the Massachusetts, Insti-
tute Of Technology, after a long
study of these trends in weather In
both the northern and southern
hemispheres.
The cycles range from the thou
sands Of years between ice ages to
periods measured by centuries and
record themselves in various geo.
logical phenomena, such as changes
in types Of vegetation preserved as
fossils. They have been attributed
to changes in the orbit Of the
earth, fitting of north and south,
pole, and wobbling Of the earth on
it's axis.

Goat Woman Mars
MacFadden Wedding
by the Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. April "a
Bernarr MacFadden. 79-year-old
physical culturist, took his third
bride yesterday "a 42-year-old
grandmother. She was Mrs. Jonnle
Lee, blond, vivacious New York In
terror decorator.
The ceremony, at the palm shaded
community churh on fashionable
Lincoln road, was marred by an
outburst by a crusader known only
as "the Goat Woman"
The woman, who leads a goat
through downtown sections while
she breaches against tobacco, sud-
denly appeared and ran behind the
altar shouting, This Is against the
Holy Word. 1t is illegal" :"
Three husky bellhops from the
millionaire MacFadden's hotel here,
doubling as ushers, quickly escorted
her outside.
At the reception some 500 guests
slipped carrot juice and munched
whole wheat flour and honey cake.
To nonfollowers of the MacFadden
theory of health champagne was
served and consumed in quantity.
Mr.. MacFadden is Democratic
candidate for Governor of Florida.

This 1000, 900, ,ooo-year-old earth
is losing its internal temperature.
This was revealed to the American
Geophysical Union today by Dr.
William D. Urry of the Carnegie
Institution OF Washington.
The greater part of the heat OF
the earth's crust, DR.. Urry said
comes from accumulations OF the
radioactive elements, uranium, tho
rum and potassium, which were
present at the, beginning. Only a
fourth is due to the heat OF the
original materials from which the
earth was formed. Internal heat
is responsible for mountain build
ing, volcanic activity and the like.
Has Dropped 25%.
About 500 million years ago, when
life started on earth according to
Or. Urry's calculations, there was an
outflow Of about one 24,000th OF a
calorie of heat a second per square
centimeter of the earth's crust. Now
it has declined to about three
fourths of this and eventually will
60 down to zero. Then are globe
itself will be dead, although this
may make little difference to the
life on its surface.
The reason for the decline is that
there can be no replenishment OF
radio active materials and once an
atom has exploded it will produce
no more heat.

bottom, made possible by recently

THE COMMUNIST INDICTMENTS
(By Jack FoSter)

 The 12 leaders of the Communist Party indicted by the Federal Grand Jury in New York not charged with being members of foreign "spy ring"
 The indictments alege that the defendants, ndi- viduals conspred with each other and others, in ganzing group which teaches and advocates the throw of the United States government by force and violence"
 That group is known "The Communist Party of the United States"
 But distinction is to be made between leaders, who alleged knowingly and wfully" to have advo- caed such lawess acts, and members of the party who may have been mere dupes of such leaders
 Of course, it remains to be proved that the indvidu- als named in the indictment have in fact urged throw of the by force If the defendants found guilty charged, the issue unquesonably will

go all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States In that event the status of the Party may be clarified.
 In previous taken to it the high court has not passed upon the question of whether the Communist Party such avocates the overthrow of govern ment by force and violence, and party leaders consist ently have denied this familiar allegation
 is reported that the grand jury which returned the indictments against the Communist leaders also is in vestgating the existence in this country of foreign spy ring, operating with or through the Communist Party certain of its leaders.
 But that does not appear in the indictments which have been returned.
