Probability that the earth is
at least a billion years older than
hitherto supposed was advanced
before the American Geophysical
Union here today.
This was based on new evidence
and a new method of approach
reported from the Oak Ridge lab
oratory of the Atomic Energy
Commission and on measure
ments of Radioactive elements
and their decay products at the
University of Toronto.
The work at Oak Ridge, de-
scribed at a meeting last night
by DR.. Edward McCready of the
Atomic Energy Commission staff
gives a probable age for the planet
since its solidif1cation from pri-
meval gases of $3.50. 100000 years.
"A recent estimate using previously
accepted data by DR.. Arthur
Holmes Of the University of Ed
inburgh. world recognized au-
thority on age measurements,
fixed a maximum age of AGO.
100000 years. This figure itself
was an enormous advance over
age estimates previously made
and stirred up a considerable
controversy.
Formula Explained.
The classical method of deter
mining the age Of any part of the
earth's crust is based on the de-
cay rate of radioactive elements,
uranium and thorium contained
in its rocks. These change to a
form of lead at a constant rate.
The method has been compared
to estimating the age of city
by counting the gravestones in
its cemeteries, the annual death
rate per Thousand being known.
In any rock sample the ratio of
uranium to uranium lead gives a
rough estimate of the years since
lit solidified, according to the for
mulA that half of anv amount Of

Oklahoma City Struck
By Hif-and-Miss Tornado
By the Associofed Press

OKLAHOMA CITY, May IA
tornado skipped through thickly
populated sections of Oklahoma
City last night, causing extensive
property damage.
No serious injuries were re-
ported but several persons were
treated for cuts from flying glass
and debris.
The tornado apparently started
its hit and miss jaunt in the
southwestern section where several
homes were short of roofs.
Heaviest damage came in the
central section of the city. The
Oklahoma Sash & Door Co. Office
building and warehouse was splint-
cred by the strong circular winds.
An auto wash concern and a
drug store reported damage to

Fairfax Tax Rate Cut
To S2.G; Higher Base
VIII Increase Bills
By Mary Lou Werner

Barely meeting a midnight
deadline, the Fairfax County
Board Of Supervisors last night
adopted a tax rate of $2.65 which
they said would allow the full sum
requested for school operating ex-
penSeS.
Although the new levy is below
the $3.19 rate of the current year.
tax bills will be increased an aver
age of rs per cent. officials said
because the county has been re-
assessed. 1t is the first time in
three years that taxpayers have
had on increase. The new budget
takes effect July /.
The budget totals $500, ,929, of
which $4,672.245 goes to schools.
A budget of $6.2 million requiring
a 1928 tax rate had been pro-
posed originally.
Two factors contributed to the
reduction from the proposed tax
rate. First. the supervisors said
the assessor informed them the
tax base had risen to approximate
ly $133 million. instead of the
$123 million figure he gave them
when the budget was prepared.
Also, a number of items were
slashed from the school capital
outlay fund and the county oper-I
ating fund.
The supervisors voted unani-
mously for all portions of the
budget except for schools. BY al
vote of to 2, the school levy
was set at $2.15 with Supervisors
Maurice Fox and Robert Dye dis
senting because they thought the
amount was too high. The School
Board had asked for a levy of
$2.56.
Supervisor Arthur Shaffer said
he would vote for the $2.15 levy
because School Board members
had assured him it would be suf-
ficient, in view of the higher as
sesSment figure.
The school levy includes $l.87
for the operating fund and %
cents for capital outlay.

gia Democrat said that it was
prepared under Gen. Bradley's di-
rection.
He said that no question was
raised as to whether a wire re-
corder or some similar device
might have been used.
Knowland Protests Secrecy.
Queried last week as to how
the Wake report could be docu-
mented. President Truman said
he might have done it himself
Among other things, the report
lis said to describe Gen. MacAr-
thur as not believing at the Oc-
tober, 1850, conference that Red
China would intervene in the Ko-
rean war.
In an evident reference to the
Wedemeyer report. Senator Know
land, Republican. of California,
told the Senate yesterday that IF
some of the documents which have
been suppressed for four years had
been made available to the people
and to Congress, we would not
have fisked $4,000 casualties in
Korea"
He charged there had been a
consistent policy on the part of
the administration to conceal"
vital information from Congress
and the people.

Rush Of Meat Animals
10 Market Foreseen
Before Prices Are Cut

The Governments price control
order on beef may bring a rush
of meat animals to the market
from farmers wanting to sell be-
fore the price goes down.
This was foreseen today by
Agriculture Department experts.
They said that such a rush may
relieve shortages now but may
lead to other shortages later on
and, possibly, to rationing.
The Office of Price Stabiliza-
tons order is designed to trim
beef prices about 10 cents a pound
by Ocotber /. It requires slaugh-
terers to pay 10 per cent less than
current prices for beef cattle mar
keted between May 20 and August
l and nearly 20 per cent less be-
tween August l and October /.
Severe Shortages Feared.
Livestock experts said farmers
may want to get their animals to
market before the price drops.
Therefore, they may send their
cattle to market in the next few
weeks instead of holding the ami
mails until late summer for fur
ther fattening.
Marketing in May and June of
animals that normally would be
marketed in July, August and
September might lead to severe
shortages in the fall, the experts
believe.
On another aspect of controls
William H. Harrison, head of the
Defense Production Administra-
ton, said that for the coming IL
months controls of materials will
have to become tighter.
Mr.. Harrison, whose resignation
from the DPA post became ef-
fective yesterday, said the Nation
must build its strength as rapidly
as it can.
"The world situation could ex-
plode at any time" he said, land
we must make every day count"
Further Steel Cutbacks Due.
But if the explosion doesn't
come and if there is no interrupt
tion in the expansion of re-
sources, Mr.. Harrison foresaw that
after the beginning of next year
the country would be enjoying as
full a quantity of consumer goods
as it had in 1948 and 1949.
Asked about the possibility of
overexpansion in view of the pres
ent buildup, Mr.. Harrison said he
has abundant faith that the
economy can continue to grow"
The National Production Au.
thority, meanwhile, told automo-
bile makers that further cutbacks
in steel for autos will come in
July. The manufacturers now
are restricted to using 80 per cent
OF the steel they used in the first
half of 1850. NPA indicated that
the next order will mean cutback
OF 80 percent or more.

Study of Atomic Evidence Adds
Billion Years to Eorth's Age

uranium originally present will
have been transmitted to lead in
approximately 4,500.000. 900 years.
Thus a thousand atoms Of ura-
MUM balanced by a thousand
atoms Of the right kind of lead
would indicate that the sample
was As billion years old
Calculations over the last quar-
ter century by this method have
shown various geological strata to
be close to billion years old and
further calculations have indi-
Gated somewhere around 8 billion
years for the age of the earth.
Lifeless Period Extended.
The new finding doubles the
length of the proterozoic period in
the earth's history-the time that
elapsed before the beginning of
discernible life on the planet.
This is extended to about 4 bill
lion years from the hardening Of
the crust to the beginning of the
Cambrian period, about half bill
lion years ago. It is from rocks
laid down in the bottoms of shall
low Cambrian seas that the first
fossils are obtained.
It no longer is maintained that
life actually started in the Cam
brian. It already had reached a
considerable complexity. But evi-
dence of any previous living things
is vague-such findings as prob
able worm tracks in rock and de-
posits of iron supposedly secreted
by marine plants.
Previously the pre-life era has
been estimated at not much more
than Q billion years.

tenn. The committee had hoped
the bill would pay for itself by
eliminating the present 8 per cent
interest payment to employees who
withdrew from the fund. but ac-
Ituaries say it would entail some
additional expenditures.
Consequently. the Senate group
plans to report two bills. One
would provide greater survivorship
insurance benefits for present em-
lployes and their families. This
bill would not cost any additional
money, since the elimination of
the 3 per cent interest payment
would take care of that.
The second measure would pro-
vide annuity increases to employees
already retired. There is some
talk of making this an amend
|ment to the Federal pay raise
legislation now before the COM
Imittee.
ONE-MAN ECONOMY UNIT
Representative Rees, Republican,

Mr.. Rees feels that these people,

ceive more than the $42 to $50 a
day allowed by law. However

Committee slipped a rider in the

Police QueII Melee
OF Benning Soldiers
BY the Assoeiaied Press

COLUMBUS. Ga, May 1.-Po-
lice reported they had restored
Iorder today after q melee in a
Negro district resulting from the
Explosion of hand grenade or a
similar object behind a squad
car. ~
Capt. j. D. Armstrong said the
f1areup came around last midnight
when he and other officers an
Iswered a call to a fight at Negro
establishment in the area.
AS they were leaving, he said, a
blast went off behind their ma
chine. A small hole was torn in
the pavement and the police car
Iand two other autos parked near
by were struck by fragments from
the missile. No one in the cars
was injured.
A police call sent civilian off,
GERS and military police from
nearby Fort Benning hurrying to
the scene. The police closed down
Iall business and entertainment
places and cleared every one from
the streets.
Capt. Armstrong said several
Negro soldiers from Fort Benning
ran from the officers but all were
overtaken and removed from the
area.
Several Negroes were treated at
the city hospital for injuries. 1t
was not clear just how they were
hurt. None appeared to suffer
serious injury. At least three
Negroes were under arrest.

4. Continued interim occupa-

S. Other aid. including advice
in training of technical special
lists and tactical units, and arms
and equipment for the Korean
national police and coast guard.
Urged Prompt Action.
The general found that United
States and Russian troop strengths
in South Korea and North Korea
were approximately equal.
But even then, he pointed to
what Gen. Macarthur recently
told Congress about the strategic
situation by saying that the North
Korean Red Army was in an lin
finitely stronger military position"
because they were geographically
supported by contiguous area
Soviet Siberia.
Gen. Wedemeyer reported the
situation in Manchuria in 1947
had deteriorated to such a degree
that prompt action was necessary
to prevent that area from becom-
ing Soviet satellite.
"The Chinese Communists may
soon gain military control of
Manchuria and announce the
establishment of a government, :"
he said in the report dated Sep
tember 9. 1947. The Chinese Reds
later over-ran all of the Chinese
mainland and forced the Nation
alist government to the island of
Formosa.
Economic Situation Bad.
The report reviewed the polit-
ical and economic situation in
South Korea and pointed out that
the country did not have overall
economic resources to sustain it's
economy without external assist
ance.
But despite this the general
stated the bulk of the Chinese and
Korean peoples "are not disposed
to communism and they are not
concerned with ideologies.
They desire food, shelter and
the oportunity to live in peace"
Gen. Wedemeyer found that the
peaceful aims of freedom loving
peoples of the world were jeopar-
died in 1947 "by developments as
portentous as those leading to
World War II
"The Soviet Union and her satel-
lites give no evidence of the con-
ciliatory or cooperative attitude
in these developments" he de-
clared.
THE United States is compelled
therefore to initiate realistic lines
of action in order to create and
maintain bulwarkS of freedom and
to protect United States strategic
interests"
Threat to Nearby Areas.
A Soviet-dominated Korea
would constitute a serious political
and psychological threat to Man
churia, North China. Ryukus, and
Japan land hence to the United
States strategic interests to the
Far East" he said.
