SCIENCE: This Growing World

DR.. Willis calls his hot spots club

The deep radiOactivity comes from
uranium and other radioactive min
erals. These are thinly spread through
the earth'S crust. Atomic physicists
have theOrized that all the heat seep-
ing up to the earth's surface comes
from buried radioactivity.
DR.. Wolfe says that atomic minerals
are unevenly scattered, permitting
heat to gather unevenly. Then in ac-
cordance with natural laws of heat
flow, it melts a large underground
area. He says the African continent
may be high because it is at present
the roof of a blister.
The Arctic Ocean, he says, is prob
ably the hole where a great blister
collapsed. So is the present Atlantic
Ocean. Once it was a continent. raised
by blister.
The deep part of the north Pacific.
he says, is probably caused by a long
collapsed blister.
Both scientists agree that the bub-
bles are enough to account for the

GIobal Blisfers

A new theory that atomic energy
is changing the earth's surface has
been presented to the Geological So
ciety of America.
The earth is actually growing un-
der your feet. The atomic energy is
in the form of radioactivity. Working
at depths of so to 100 miles. this
radioactivity melts rock formations
thousands of miles wide. These
bubble upward slowly like thick
fudge over a slow fire. This process
makes and unmakes continents, ocean
beds and mountain ranges.
These changes are slow. No geolo-
glst sees the slightest danger that this
buried atomic energy can blow up
the earth, or any part of it.
The new theory was propounded
by DR.. Bailey Willis, famed geologist
Of Stanford University, and DR.. C. w.
Wolfe, geologist of Boston University.

Colleges
Record Enrolment

NSGOIQ enrolment
The federal Office of Education SAYS
there are 2,41O,OOO students in Ameri-
can colleges this year, $4,000 more
than ever before.
But there are only 100000 war
veteran students, a drop of 100000
from year ago.
Apparently enrollments at the ma
tons 1900 colleges and universities
have reached a plateau" even though
they are at an alltime high for the
third successive year.
The overall increase this year is
only three per cent, compared with
a l2R per cent increase last year, the
Office says. The total is still so per
cent above prewar levels, however.
The nine per cent slump in veteran
enrollments has been felt most sharp
ly in junior colleges, where total en-
rollments fell five per cent, to 2O8 600
of which $4,000 are veterans.

Aerial
SUpersonic Efficiency

Supersonic planes can be Node to
operate with about the same fuel
economy as present forms of trans
portation, an aerOdynamics expert
told the National Academy of Sci
ences at Berkeley, Calf.
He is Robert T. Jones, researcher
for the National Advisory Committee
for AeronauticS.
With swept-back wings to mini
mize air resistance at supersonic
speeds and with designs permitting
operation at 6O,OOO-foot attitudes,
there should be no excessive waste of
fuel, Jones said.
Designs for planes intended for
flight in such rareied atmosphere
tend to make them capable of flying
slowly in denser, low attitudes for
landing, he said.
In planes of this type, he predicted,
the present turbojet engine would
not fall far short of equalling the fuel
economy of more conventional en-
gineS.
A new prOpellOr-tipped supersonic
parachute has been developed to
bring back information from atmos-
phere 100 miles or more above the
earth.
General Electric engineers say
their "rotochute" can be shot from a
rocket at the peak of its flight and
carry 20 to SO pounds of delicate in
struments safely to earth. The roto-
chute slows its speed as it falls. Ordi-
nary parachutes are ripped to shreds
IN passage from great heights.
AS the rotOchute falls into the
denser air surrounding the earth its
blades begin revolving. Gradually
they are forced into a horizontal posi-
tion, breaking the speed to q miles
an hour.

CHINA: Crisis for Chiang's Na+ionaIists

CENSlNG an opportunity to win
~ the civil war quickly, the
Chinese Communists appear to be
shooting the works in a great bat
tie for Suchow. Suchow is the de-
tense bastiOn for Nanking and the
whole Yangtze Valley.
If they can win this one decisivelv.
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek and
his Nationalist regime must either fall
or flee.
If the Reds fail and the fighting
bogs down, the two foes may slog
around in that north-central region
all winter inconclusively.
Chance for Chang
This would give Chang a breathing
spell. It would give him a chance to
get his battered, demoralized forces
and his wobbly government back on
their feet.
1t would provide time for American
aid, both military and economic, to
make itself felt. William c. Bullitt.
head OF a special Congressional mis-
sion, has flown to Chiang's headuuar-
tiers for a survey. Paul G. Hoffman,
ECA administrator, is scheduled to
make a China trip early next month
unless by then the situation seems
hopeless.
The fog of war is so thick that onlv
one forecast now is safe: the imme-
dlate fate of China rides on the out
come Of the Suchow- -Yangtze cam
paign.
Both sides are claiming big sue
cesses, with huge casualties inflicted
on the other. Nobody accepts either
claim at face value.
Burden on Communists
The burden, however, would appear
to rest on the Communists. While thew
retain the initiative, they need a
clear-cut victory to avoid a winter
stalemate.
The situation in Nanking is acute.
Chang alone is reported holding the
government together by his fierce in
slstence on continuing the fight de-
spite repeated military and economic
disasters.

Secret
NowH Can Be Told

During the war, the Navy loaded
some radiO-cOntrolled ships with ex-
plosives for use in blowing up har-
bors and clearing channels. But this
top-secret weapon was put back on
the shelf at the end of the war after
only limited use.
TT proved too dangerous to use," a
Navy amphibiOus officer explained
this week.
The Navy had prepared an undis-
closed number of vessels, ranging in
size from huge cargo boats to small
amphlbious sea sleds for this one
way type Of duty. The bigger ships
carried as much as 1000 tons of ex-
plosives.
Some small landing craft, packed
with TINT, were tried out during the
invasion of southern France, their
only operational use. They were used
to block off beach and underwater
obstacles.
One of these craft, obscured by fog
and gun smoke, went out of control
and cut tight little circles. Thinking
1t was near the beach, the control
craft detonated it and the blast tore
OF the bow of a subchaser, injuring
several men.
During the Bikini atom bomb tests,
some of these sea sleds, known as
X-craft,," were used to check radio
activity of the target vessels by re-
mote control.

cold War
In France

LNRANCE, traditionally land of
4 many political parties, ap-
pears heading toward a show
down between just two: the ex-
treme right and the extreme left.
Frenchmen refer to the clash
Between Gen. Charles de Gaulle and
the Communists as "our own little
cold war;" It is a wry French joke,
told without a smile.
De Gaulle won a big election vic
tory recently when his Rally of the
French People (RPF) gained 40 per
cent of the seats in the upper house
Of the French Parliament-th Coun-
ell Of the Republic.
The general stepped down as pro-
Visional president Of France in Janu-
ary, l946, disgusted at the pickering
OF splinter parties. He said then, 'I
have had enoughl"
A Strong Man
In political retirement, however,
the general had a change of heart. He
began preparing for a comeback on
his own terms. The RPF is his party
and its two main planks are (1) fight
Communism and (2) change the con-
stitution to make the president a
strong executive.
The Communists, with the backing
Of 100000 voters chiefly from labor
unions, are the largest single party in
the lower house of Parliament. the
National Assembly. Despite their nu-
merical strength the Communists do
not dominate the assembly because
other parties combine against them.
Nonetheless, the two houses now
dramatize the fact that France slowly
but surely is splitting into two camps.
Frenchmen dread this as much as a
world split between east and west.
Squeeze on Coalition
Caught in the middle is the present
coalition government of Premier
Henri Queuille made up of the Radi-
cal Socialists conservative the So
Cialists, and the Catholic Popular Re-
publican Movement (AIRP). Neither
the De Gaullists nor Communists are
represented in the cabinet.
= French coalition cabinets are
4OA4A4@A "a A4AE4A VIII OleGlA dIG lUllCld@
mentally opposed on many issues.
They agree, temporarily, not to dis
agree. Such truces don't last long.
In addition to difficulty in getting
along with each other, Premier
Queuille's cabinet is under pressure
from De Gaullists and Communists
who both want to take over.
Violence Feared
Some observers think that if De
Gaulle does get back in power, Com
muniStS may use the arms they are
believed to have cached to stage a
counter revolution" Gen. De Gaulle,
like many of his political opponents,
says the French Communists take
orders from Moscow.
Another danger is that the coalition
forces Of the center may take the
Communists into the government in
an effort to stave off De Gaulle.
De, Gatllle recently declared that if
the Communists came back into the
government he would not wait for
elections to take action to "save
France"
He did not 60 into detail, but it is
common knowledge in France that he
has q large backing in the army. The
French government admitted recently
the army was supplying gasoline and
vehicles for De Gaulle's political cam
paign.

Defense
Just in Case

SOSi ~ SNSO
The dusk-to-dawn dimout which
blanketed coastal cities during the
last war probably won't be back in
any future war.
The Office of Civil Defense. a
branch of the national military estab-
lishment under Defense Secretary
Forrestal, has made a comprehensive
report on steps to be taken if a new
war should come. The dimout is not
one of them.
The report amounts to a primer for
the public on what to do if hit by
the weapons of modern war.
Cities are advised to forget about
air raid shelters; they offer only par
tlal protection. The experts say em-
phasis should be on preparation of
systems to save the injured, put out
fires and prevent panic.
Police and fire departments are ex-
cellent starting points for civilian de-
tense but, the experts say, volunteer
mobile reserve battalions should be
set up under state control, equipped
IN part by the federal government.
The planning board estimates that
in wartime as many as Is million
Americans might be engaged in civil
defense.
A preliminary plan for combating
germ warfare has been prepared but
because of the top-secret rating given
it by the military, nothing about it
can be disclosed to either the public,
which is directly concerned, or local
governments which will carry it out.
Indeed, the report does not even
mention archaeological warfare but
refers obscurely to special weapons"
These weapons provide a means Of
possible attack on humans, livestock,
crops. They might be delivered by
hostile aircraft, guided missiles or
SaboteurS.

is filled with government workers
who fOresee the end of their careers.
Many worry about what kind of a
blacklist the Communists may have.
Shanghai, China's greatest city, is
always disOrderly, dirty, full of suf-
fering and beset by business worries.
Now it is at explosive tension.
Failure of the gold yuan, the new
money which Chang instituted only
three months ago, hit this half-east,
half-WeSt city terrific blow.
The currency slump wiped out the
life savings of thousands. Chang
failed to deliver Shanghai's quota of
American-aid rice on time, and for
several days there was hunger and
rioting. A rush delivery of rice halted
this violence, temporarily.
Tortured China is full of STARTLING
stories and rumors. Some merchants
refuse to accept big currency bills
bearing Chiang's portrait because
they fear the Communists will not
honor them when they take over.
others say they believe trading as
usual will be encouraged because
Communists are anxious to make
China a 'gOing concern'-which it is
not at present.

There are rumors that China again
IS splitting into war-lord zones. One
