patch from Peiping indirectly ad-
mits that disease epidemics are
spreading in Red China's prison
labor camps.
The Red news agency dispatch
said more than 460 medical stu
dents of the China Union Medical
College formerly a Rockefeller
endowed schOoD and the medical
college of Peiping National Univer-
sity have been sent to the disease
areas.
1t said most of them went to the
Huai river conservancy project to-
aid the epidemic prevention corps
of the ministry of health. The pro-
ject is aimed at eventually con-
trolling the rampaging Yellow riv-
er. The news agency mentioned
kala azar as one of the diseases

Kala azar, little known to the wes-
tern world, is carried by sand flies.

OPS Will Fight
Coming High Costs

Joseph ]. McBryan, regional di-
rector of the Office of Price StabliIi-
zation for Pennsylvania, southern
New Jersey, and Delaware, this
week warned housewives in his
area not to expect present declines
in food prices to continue indefi-
nitely.
Although the U. S. Bureau of La
Dor Statistics found that the price
OF food overall had dropped a point
curing the last weeks of July, Nc
Bryan said there were other indi-
cations that prices at the grocery
store and supermarket would move
upward again soon.
He based his conclusion on
higher wholesale prices reported
for the first week in August, but
which will not be reflected in the
housewives purchases of meat and
groceries for at least a month.
In the meantime, the regional
OPS director urged every woman
in his three-state area to take full
advantage of the lowered prices
for fresh fruits and vegetables. Due
mainly to the excellent growing
weather this summer, the price of
these products fell almost seven
percent during the latter part of
July, he said, and accounted for
most of the overall drop in food
prices for the period.
McBryan emphasized that many
food prices are removed from OPS
control because of parity regula-
tions, He assured all consumers,
and mothers of families especially,
however, that his office would do
all in it's power to prevent price
rises to the very limits of its power.

Finnish GeoIogiist
Makes A Startling
Claim In Seattle

Mountains are floating upon the
earth.
This is the concept that Prof.
Weikke A. Heiskanen, information
ally-famous Finnish geologist has
been working with for 80 years.
Professor Heiskanen is in Seattle
on special invitation from h e
University of Washington.
"Of course, the movement of
mountains is not visibly percepti-
BILE" he said. THE sea upon which
they float, the earth's crust. is
rigid. Therefore the rate of flow
is quite low, but nevertheless the
mountains are floating"
One of the first men to measure
the diameter of the earth. Pro-
fessor Heiskanen is director of the
Institute of Geodesy, Photograph
metry and Cartology at Ohio
State University
Mountains are very much like
icebergs," he said. "They rise and
sink. and the greater part of
their mass is below the surface
He said that the ratio of visible
mountain to the unseen part be-
low the surface is one to five.
