GLACIER RETREAT BEGAN IN 1700;
 JIRp B0TANI5I

Recession of the great Southeast Alaskan glaciers was estimated to- day to have begun as recenly as 176O.
 This estimate was put forth by Dr. Donald B. Lawrence, Univer- sitv of Minnesota botanist, as a result of low level geology studies on Herbert and Eagle Glacier nor aines as a part of the American Geological Society's Juneau Ice Re- search Project.
 Only shortly before the birth of the nation in 1776 glaciers began their recession that has generally continued to the present time, ac- cording to the studies just com- pleted by Dr. Lawrence.
 "The present idea pr. Lawrence indicated, lis that a period of the late 16Oos and early 1700s during which the glaciers advanced was the coldest and wettest, or both that had occurred since the end of the Ice Age 10000 years ago"
 Presumed Cause
 Presumed cause of this long per- iod of unfavorable weather during the 17th and 18th centuries was a marked reduction in the amount of energy given off by the sum-" Dr. Lawrence said.
 His studies on glacier fronts con- ducted here during the past two weeks indicate that maximum ad- vance of glaciers during the Little Ice Age" occurred in the early ZOOS.
 Glacier advance and recession has been determined by Dr. Law renee on the basis of the age of trees growing on areas exposed by the receding ice.
 Headquartering in Juneau, the Minnesota botanist, accompanied by his wife and Lloyd Hubert, University of Montana graduate student in botany, has begun in- vestigation of movement of Men denhall Glacier.
 Work has been made possible through the fine cooperation of the Forest Service which has provided warehouse facilities, transportation from Juneau, maps and other in- formation. Accessibility of study areas has been greatly facilitated by good Forest trails" accord ing to Dr. Lawrence.
 Navy aerial photos taken last summer have been indispensable , he said. "These photos show a series of about 15 moraines ob- viously of recent formation, within two miles below the present ice face of shrunken Herbert Glacier. Oldest of spruce trees growing on the moraines was no older than 175 years as based on accounts of annual growth rings"
 Dr. Lawrence explained that studies on Herbert and Menden- hall indicate 10 to 15 years are re- quired for spruce to come in on moraine after ice melts away.
 Resulting estimate indicates that by the early 1700's the ice front of Herbert Glacier had advanced tc position about two miles down the valley from the present posi- tion and that by about 1760 the ice was beginning to recede."
 The state of maturity of forest beyond the farthest moraine pro- duced in the early ZOOS indicates that ice had not advanced beyond that position for at least 600 years, presumably much longer" Eagle Glacier studies agree" hs said, "also there is agreement ii the Glacier Bay area, on Mt. Hood Ore, and generally wherever . studies have beer made" Tho 1orOacf oOuarn,>oopt orcav,o

LONDON, Feb. 17-Seven men,

They represent all political

The resolution reads:
Resolved that this House views
with horror and detestation the
condemnation to life imprison-
ment by the Hungarian Peoples
Court of his eminence, Cardinal
Mindszenty, and declared his trial
to be a travesty of justice.
Further, this House expresses

COP. Hopes for Help
OF Some Democrats in
Trade Treaty Battle
BY the Associated Press

Republicans. hoping for some
Democratic help, went back to the
wars today against the admins
tration's reciprocal trade agree
ments program.
Senator Millikin, Republican, OF
Colorado predicted to a reporter
that Senate Republicans will stand
almost solidly behind last years
law laying heavy congressional
hand on presidential tariff changes.
He probably will have the active
support of Senator Vandenberg,
Republican. of Michigan in the
fight to keep a clause fol cling the
President to explain to Congress
if any duty is sliced to a point
where the Federal Tariff Commits
sion says it damages an American
industry.
The House dumped this and
other COP restrictions overheard
when it voted last week to revive
the old reciprocal trade law and
keep it in effect until June IL, 1851.
Thorp to Be Heard.
With the House approved bill
before it, the Senate Finance Com
mittee called Assistant Secretary
of State Willard L. Thorp and Will
Clayton. former Undersecretary
for Economic Affairs, for testi-
mony.
Chairman George told a re-
porter he thinks the committee
will end hearings next Tuesday
and act on the measure the fol-
lowing week end.
But. if the Republicans, stick
together. there was possibility
that the committee might vote
against the House-approved bill.
There are six Republicans and
seven Democrats in the group.
There were signs that some
Democrats who may not support
the administration in some forth
coming issues would like to tuck
a favorable vote for the Truman
program under their belts before
they stray off the reservation.
Some May Switch Stand.
There was evidence of some
switches in sentiment.
Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada, who always has fought
the trade program. said he may
vote for it this year. Senator
Capehart, Republican, of Indiana,
who supported the Republican
version last year. said he may vote
against any authority at all, this
time.
The administration timetable
calls for Senate action on the
measure the week of March 5.

VIENNA, Feb. 1.-Two Hun
garians who fled their country
shortly after the trial OF Josef
Cardinal Mindszenty assert they
helped forge documents rejecting
on the cardinal on orders from
the Hungarian police.
They are Laszlo Sulner and his
wife Hanna. now in the custody
of American authorities.
When they sought refuge here
a week ago, they described them
selves as official handwriting ex-
perts for the Communist-do
ated Hungarian government. They
described the cardinals triaN as
a farce built on forged and ex-
torted documents. Both said
they are devoted Catholics.
American authorities. studying
microfilms the Sulners brought
with them on their flight, have
as yet made no comment on their
story. The authorities are con-
tinping their investigation. The
microfilms, the Sulners said, are
of documents used in the trial
against the cardinal.
The Sulners told authorities
yesterday they improved on
photostatic copy of what they said
was a forged letter purportedly
written by Cardinal Mindszenty.
They said they told police, when
the police showed them the pho
tostat, that the document was a
bad forgery which would be easily
recognized by other handwriting
experts. Police ordered them to
turn out a better forgery, they
said.
they added they did so and
also faxed some other documents.
The material later was printed in
a newspaper, they said. while the
cardinal was in Jail awaiting trial.
1t was supposed to show, they said,
that the cardinal was an oppor-
tunist, unpriestlike and on the
border of war criminal.

Rent Curbs Seen Sure.
To Go On, but Weaker
Than Truman Asks
BY the Associated Press

Rent controls today seemed
sure to be continued, but perhaps
in weaker and shorter form than
President Truman has requested.
A check of some leading mem
bers of the House Banking Com
mittee, now considering the leg
islation, indicated this line of
thinking:
l. Continuation of rent ceilings
for IL to II months. Mr.. Truman
has requested two years.
2. A ban on mass eviction of
tenants. Some landlords have
threatened to withdraw their
rental property from the market
if rent ceilings are extended.
3. Power for the rent admins
traitor to sue for damages where
landlords overcharge tenants. But
the Administration may not get
its requested authority to bring
criminal action, with fine and i'm
prisonment on conviction. against
property owners who violate the
rent law.
Tenants now have right to sue
for rent overcharges. But the
