Discover New Mile-High Mountain in Alaska Gulf

LA JOLLA, Calif., (P)-Discov- cry of new mile-high noun tain under the Gulf of Alaska was announced here Wednesday. The top of the mountain which is flat and about three miles across, is a mile under the seas surface.
 Dr. Roger Revelle, director of the University of California's Scripp Institute of Oceanography, made the announcement. He said the seamount (as such isolated and submerged mountains are called) was discovered by the Institutes research vessel Horizon.
 Several such seamounts have previously been discovered in the Gulf of Alaska. The new one is among the highest. It has been named Holiday" and is located at 55 degrees north, 143 degrees 10.3 minutes west.

DON'T WORRY IF JUNIOR SPURNS FOOD

NEW YORK, (P) - A baby usually triples it's weight in the first year. If it kept on eating like it did in the first year, it would weigh 70 pounds by two years, and TOO pounds at four years.
 Dr. Lyon Steine of Valley Stream, NY, gives the estimates in an article in GP, journal of the Academy of General Practition- CTS. The point, he says, is that it's normal for the baby's appe- tite to decline after the first year, and mothers shouldn't worry about it.

Gross Asserts u. n.
Won't Survive Unless
II Faces Aggression
By the Associafed Press

ROANOKE, Va, Jan. 20.-Ern-
est A. Gross, No. man in the
United States delegation to the
United Nations said tonight the
q. N. will not survive unless it
rs prepared to face aggression
squarely and take the required
decisions.
In an address before the ma
tional convention of Junior Cham
Der of Commerce, Mr.. Gross de-
clared this country must continue
to place its faith in collective &C
ton, such as that envisaged in
the q. N. Charter.
Some people advocate a policy
Of 'watchful waiting crouched
behind our borders and under
meath our own airspace," he said.
This is a vision of a day long
dead, a day before the sea and
airways had become highways of
vast commerce-and of rapid de-
struction."
Discusses Korea Problem.
Speaking of the Korean prob
lem, Mr.. Gross said:
THE United Nations now con-
fronts another challenge. and the
problem is not to separate big
aggressors from little ones. The
problem is to face aggression
squarely and to take those deci-
sions which the fact of aggres-
sion requires.
'It is our judgment that if it
does not do so, the United Ma
tions will not survive, and its sys-
tenn of collective security will die
on the vine"
The American representative
said there are some people who
are led to think the U. N. is
worthless because there are diff
ferences of opinion within it.
Value of u. N. Stressed.
"They do not realize" he said,
that one of the essential values
of the United Nations is that it
provides the means whereby these
differences can be identified, dis
cussed and resolved. It is as if
someone were to say: Burn down
the hospitals-they are too full
Of sick people,
Turning to American attempts
to get Red China branded an ag-
gressor by the U. N. General As
sembly, Mr.. Gross said American
officials felt that action should
have been taken without delay. |
but had agreed to move slowly
in the hope of preserving unity
among the free nations.
Sees Unity Preserved.
He said the differences between
the United States and some other
countries were differences as to
method but the objectives of all
were to maintain intact the prin-
ciple of collective security. He
expressed belief Unity would be
preserved.
THE United States now conf
IDENTIFY expects that the free world
members of the United Nations
will assert their unity in support
of a resolution finding that the
Chinese Communists are guilty of
aggression in Korea. Because
every intermediate step was pa
tiently explored, that unity will be
solidly based upon the convictions
Of the peoples of the world. We
shall have the substance of unity,
whereas several weeks ago we
would have had at best only the
appearance of unity"

he presides with remarkable
humor. but with a measure of
strictness which has earned for
him the nickname "Schoolmaster. "
AS President he has no seat in
Parliament and even has to pay
the cost of a private telephone
line to the Parliament chambers.
M. Auriol's power is not as un-
real as that of the King of Eng
land, for instance, who may exer-
else little or no discretion in
affairs of state. 1t is not, however,
as broad and sweeping as that of
an American President, who COM
bines both the formal and cere-
monial functions of a chief of
state with the real, hard political
functions of chief of government.
In France the chief of govern
ment is the Premier, at the mo-
ment, M. Queuille. His govern
ment may last a week or it may
last 13 months, as was the case
when he last held the top minis
terial post.
To Detail Defense Effort
| While the chief of state con-
Germs himself with national feel
ings and ultimate objectives of
the French people as a whole. the
chief of government formulates
the policies which express those
feelings and which are aimed to
attain national objectives, at home
and abroad. He also executes
these policies until the National
Assembly fails to support him any
longer and his whole government
must resign.
When M. Pleven visited Mr.. Tru-
man he was able. in speaking for
his own government, to take up
such matters as the American
arms aid. both for France and
Indo-China; economic assistance,
plans for orderly handling of raw
materials which are in short sup
ply, and similar situations which
grow out of or affect the coalition
government then in Office.
M. Auriol will take up none of
these matters in his official con-
versations here, which will be coa-
fined to President Truman. He
will. however, be a:lle to talk about
several matters of national-as
distinguished from political-im-
port.
First of all he will try to show
