Gold Says He Became
Soviet Spy 10 Repay
Kindness OF Friend

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Chemist
Harry Gold says he became a
Soviet atom spy partly out of
gratitude to man who gave him
a job during the depression and
because he wanted to help the
Russian people.
The mild-mannered Gold testi-
f1ed in the trial of Engineer Abra-
ham Brothman and his business
associate, Miss Miriam Mosko-
witz-both accused of conspiring
to obstruct justice during a Fed
eral spy investigation. The trial
is recessed until Monday.

sometimes known as petrif1ed
butterflies, very remotely related
to today's crabs and Holsters.
Trilobites have been completely
extinct for about 200 million years.
They ranged from the size Of
pin-heads to giants more than
two feet long.
A collection of more than 40
species of these creatures from
limestone deposits near Strauss
burg, Va, was reported to the
Geological Society by DR.. Harry
B. Wilmington of Harvard Uni
versity.
The collection is of particular
value because it enables a partial
reconstruction of the ancient
creatures, earth's earliest known
animals.
Apparently, DR.. Wilmington
explained, the trilobites went
through a moulting process like
present day insects, Holsters and
crabs. Growth proceeded to a point
where the animal became too
large for it's shell. This then
burst and the trilobite crawled
out, passing some time in condi-
tion similar to that of present
Soft-shelled crabs.
Fossil bones of two hitherto un-
known members of the group Of
ancient mammals which even

w. Wilson. They include the best
preserved skull yet known of one
of the mouse sized creatures from
which. over a period of about
so million years, the human race
can trace its ancestry.
The finds were made in New

Soviet PactWit China
Pledges Mutual Help
Against Ally Of Japs'
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Nov. 18.-Soviet
publication of the text of it's mu-
tual assistance treaty with Com
munist China appeared to under
score today Russian press reports
of secret American negotiations
toward an alliance with Japan.
A key clause of the Soviet
Chinese treaty pledges each ma
ton to come to the aid of the
other, if it is subject to an attack
by Japan-or any state allied with
Japan.
Texts of the Sino- Russian pact
and accompanying agreements
were published yesterday in the
Supreme Soviet Journal.
On the same day, the Russian
press reported a secret meeting
between Gen. Macarthur and
japanese political leaders, at
which they were told the United
States considers Japan her ally
in a coming world war.
Importance OF the Soviet
Chinese treaty is underscored by
the possibility that its clause on
Japan could become operative in
the event of hostilities between
the United States and China.
One of the treaty's most i'm
portant clauses is this:
Both parties to the treaty
undertake the obligation that
jointly they will undertake all
necessary measures at their dis
posal for purposes of not permit
ting a repetition of aggression and
violation of the peace by japan
Or any other state which directly
or indirectly should unite with
Japan for purposes of aggression.
In the event that one of the
parties to the treaty is subjected
to attack by Japan, or states allied
with Japan, and thus is in a state
OF war. the other party to the
treaty Immediately will give mill
tary aid and help by all means at
its disposal"

One of earth's weirdest spots
lake in the center of a hill
circled with granite walls 500
feet high-was reported to the
Geological Society of America
here today.
It is located in the midst of an
almost lifeless land in Northern
Quebec. Apparently it marks the
point of impact Of one of the
largest meteorites ever to strike
this planet. 1t is the nearest
thing on earth to some of the
monster craters that pock-mark
the face of the moon.
It is seven times larger than the
meteor crater in Arizona and II
times larger than the Solf Greek
crater in Australia-the greatest
scars left by shooting star COLI
sions previously known.
It was reported to the geologists
by DR.. v. Ben Moon of the Uni
versity Of Toronto. The lake
covers more than 1000 acres. 1t
first appeared on air photographs
taken few years ago but went
unnoticed until a mineral pros
pector investigated. He believed
that it might be the remains of an
extinct volcano, where it might be
possible to find diamonds.
The time Of the meteor fall
cannot be dated, except that it
was sometime after the end of the
last Ice age, DR.. Moon said.
Around the lake are many
smaller ponds that may have
been caused by fragments of the
same meteorite.
Because of the short time avail
able and the difficulty of travel,
the examination up to date has
been superficial, DR.. Moon re-
ported.

India S Action on Tibet
Likely 10 Be Limited
To Backing U. n. Plea
By the Associofed Press

NEW DELHI, India, Nov. 18.-
Foreign officials indicated today
that further action by India in
connection with Communist
China's invasion of Tibet may be
limited to supporting the Tibetan
appeal to the United Nations.
Officials studying Red China S
reply to India's second protest OF
the Tibetan invasion apparently
have agreed it would be pointless
to send another note.
The question of India's next
step-if any-is being discussed
today with Prime Minister Java
harlal Nehru.
Situation Remains the Same.
One official observed that
China's second reply was more
courteous" than the first one. He
added, however, that it merely
reiterated Peiping's claim that
Tibet is an integral part of Chi
nese territory and therefore left
the situation unchanged.
China's action in Tibet-and
her messages stating that it is
none of India's business-admit-
tedly has strained relations be-
tween the two countries.
However, Transport Minister
M. G. Ayyangar. who is closely
consulted on foreign policy mat
ters, said last night that moth
ing has happened in the conduct
OF China since Indians recogni-
tion, which justif1es withdrawal OF
her recognition of China-not
even her conduct in relation tc
Tibet"
Slow Advance Is Mystery.
This statement-made in face
of the fact that China had as
sured India she wished a peace
full settlement of the Tibetan
question indicated that Mr.
Nehru's hopeful attitude toward
Red China has not undergone the
radical change expected by many
observers here.
The No. l mystery here is why
the Chinese advance on the
Tibetan capital of Lhasa, which
began, six weeks ago, has been
slowed down. The latest wore
from India's representative in
Lhasa said there was nothing new

to that Middle Eastern country

Since he went to Yugoslavia,
that country has become increas-
ingly stern in its dealings with
it's Cominform neighbors while
establishing number Of CONNER
cial and diplomatic ties with the
West. It also joined other anti
Soviet nations in U. N. in con-
demning aggression in North
Korea.
In addition to Yugoslavia's value
as military friend in the defense
of Western Europe, United States
officials hold great hopes that its
break with the Cominform may
inspire similar moves for inde-
pendence in other iron curtain
countries.
In some quarters, Yugoslavia' S
present trial is assessed both as a
challenge to the Wetern world to
break the Communist solid front,
and as an opportunity to establish
the United States as a friend in
need to the Yugoslav people.
The President said that even if
Congress, when it returns later this
month, acts favorably on aid to
Yugoslavia, there might not be
time to avoid widespread suffering
there unless emergency steps are
taken in the meantime.

compared with going through the

stance is 22 miles, the other way
it is 16. Chapel Hill is the only
