Geo|ogist Says
Sea kayC|ainl
Many Islands
Academy Of Sciences
Opens Series of
Discussions Here
By Thomas R. Henry
Science Editor Of The Stor

Hundreds of new Atlantises-
traditions once-inhabited lands
now under the sea-probably
will confront geologists of an
other millennium.
They were bosn under the sea
and will go back there. Such
lands are most of the coral
islands of the Pacific and Indian
Oceans.
The largest of these is Christ
mas Island in the Ellice Island
group. just south of the equator
in the Pacific. The islands were
built up by corals and other sea
organisms which ordinarily do
not rise to the surface. DR.. Pres
ton E. Cloud. jr., of the United
States Geological Survey told the
National Academy of Sciences
today as it opened its annual
scientific meetings here.
They attached themselves to
some high projecting rock and
built upward and outward when
sea levels were high, sometime
after the last great ice age. This
period was one of the summers
of the ages when countless tons
of water were poured into the
oceans by the melting Arctic and
Antarctic icecapS.
Temperature Rising Again.
Then came a great recession
in temperature and the sea level
dropped again. The coral islands
were left high and dry-usually
fiat with elevations of six or
seven feet above sea level. They
soon became suitable for human
habitation. But for approxi-
mately 100 years. Dr.. Cloud said,
the temperature has been in
creasing again. This may be
merely one of the ups and downs
in the building up process OF
another extensive glaciation OF
Cle temperature zone.
But, DR.. Cloud said, if the tenn
perature increase continues for
another thousand years most Of
these islands will be six feet un-
der water again. Effects may
begin to be felt much sooner.
The situation promises to be-
come of practical Importance to
the United States, with its pres
ent trusteeship of many Of the
Pacific coral islands.
The effect will not be too no
ticeable in such coral islands as
Bermuda or some of the other
West Indies which have eleva-
tions of up to 200 feet above sea
level.

Road Program,
Budget Signed
ByMcke|din
1-Cent Rise in Tax
On Gasoline Included
In Highway Act
By Gene Goodwin
Stor Stoff c coYrespondents.

BALTIMORE, April 27.-The
Maryland highway moderniza-
ton program was signed into
law today by Gov. McKeldin.
It was among 172 acts of the
1858 Maryland General Assembly
signed by the Governor in his
Baltimore Office.
He also signed the bill setting
forth $193 million State bud
get for the fiscal year beginning
July /.
Gasoline Tax Increase.
The roads program, which con-
templates spending almost 81
billion by the State and the coun-
les in the next years, in
wolves a 1-cent increase in the
gasoline tax, from S to 6 cents,
effective July /.
The bill only gives the State
Roads Commission the green
light on the first four years Of
the program with authority to
spend about $3.50 million. How
ever, Roads Commission officials
interpret the four-year author
ization as tantamount to ap-
proval of the entire program,
since much of the money in the
first four years will go toward
purchase of rights of way for
roads planned later.
The act also authorizes an in
crease in automobile registra-
tion fees, but that would not
take effect until July l, 1855.
Many legislators and roads Of
f1cials believe that the gasoline
tax increase will bring in enough
money to finance the entire pro-
gram and the registration fee
boost can be repealed before it
takes effect.
Among the other acts signed
by the Governor was one au-
thorizing additional circuit court
judges in most Maryland coun-
ties, including Montgomery and
Prince Georges, subject to ap-
proval by the voters in the 1854
general election.
Ocean Beach Bridge
Another measure signed was
the act authorizing the develop
ers of Ocean Beach to build a toll
bridge from the Maryland main
land to Assateague Island, where
their development is located.
Two controversial Prime e
Georges County measures were
signed by the Governor.
One is the bill consolidating
the present assessors Office and
controllers Office under the
county treasurer in what would
become a new finance depart
ment.
The other Prince Georges bill
would give the county commits
sioners broad new powers, in
cluding authority to pass some
local ordinances.

New Clue to Control
Of Cancer Revealed

Certain cancer cells can syn
thesize natures most potent
growth elixir, vitamin BIZ. Nor
NAL cells cannot produce the
substance.
In this fact, DR.. D. w. Woolley
of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research told the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences. lies
a possible new clue to the control
of malignant growths and a new
lead in the never-ending search
for some chemical which will
prove virulent poison for can
Ger without harming the rest Of
the body.
In the synthesis both of BIZ
and of riboflavin. the anti
pellagra vitamin, the starting
point is a chemical known as
diaminobenzene. The process
can be stopped by use of certain
substances known as antimeta-
bolites.
The cancer cell is producing
the vitamins because it needs
them and probably cannot live
without them. II something can
be introduced into the body to
stop the syntheis process. growth
Of a tumor will be greatly slowed
down and perhaps halted.
Failures Unexplained.
This is a theoretical approach,
DR.. Woolley said, but it actually
worked in cases Of spontaneous
ly. supposedly hereditary breast
cancers in laboratory mice. In
at least so per cent Of the ami
mails there were decided regres-
sion or disappearance of the
tumors.
Why the treatment did not
work In the other half is un-
known. The regressed tumors
began to grow again in a few
in the face Of continued
treatment. The cells apparent.
y acquired resistance to the an

John Curry, son OF, the late Sally
and William Curry, both residents
of Milford, has successfully com
pleted full and useful life and
is now on pension from the Pull
man Service Company.
John Curry started on his career
in 1905. He left Milford with the
small sum of 15c in his pocket.
but with strong determination to
succeed.
He went to Wilmington and
there procured a job with a lum-
Der company. This work being too
heavy, he decided to change.
Therefore, he procured a job with
the Harlan HOllingsworth Com
pany. There he worked in store
rooms, on the drydOcks and clean
ing ships.
John Curry then went to the East
Marble Iron Company, working in
the foundry in charge of mOlders
boards. After staying there six
he went back in the car
department. He stayed with this
company for six years.
While on this job, he learned to
be jack helper, taking cars on
Milford chronicle., 1953-06-12

and off trucks, building new cars
from the foundation, and regulat-
ing them for road service.
In 1911 he went to work for the
Pusey-SOnes Corporation. This is a
shipbuilding and foundry corpora
ton. There John Curry worked as
janitOr. There he took care of the
offices in the maintenance depart
ment. He stayed on this job 8 years,
2 months and 16 days.
After returning to the Harlan
Hollingsworth Company again for
a short time, Curry went to Phila-
deiphia at 10th and Race Streets,
and asked for a steel mill Job.
The man in charge sent him to "a
South 9TH Street and told him to
report for work in COatesville, Pa.
Here, he worked in the Health De-
parment for six weeks-then went
in the plate mills.
On the 29th of May, 1923, he ap-
piled for work in Pullman Service.
When first going to work he was
given a job, as a truck helper. After
hearing and reading up on his pre-
vious experience, John Curry was
promoted to an apprentice helper.
From 1923-26 he worked as a
truck builder. Then from 1862
he worked in the brass department.
His work was polishing chrome for
all types of cars. He worked up
until September 1852, took i'll and
asked for retirement which was
granted. Now he is on his own.

Truck Fleets Have
Accident Free Month

Seventeen fleets of trucks in the
Delaware Safety Council Inter-
Fleet Safety Contest of 1853 report
ed no accidents for the first four
months of the contest and % OF the
50 participants reported no acci-

A total Of 19 accidents among H.
106 vehicles was reported for the
month of April, and a total of 70
accidents was reported for the first

.017 per 1000 miles. The 80 fleets
in the contest operated a total Of
1,119,187 miles in April and a total
of 4.272,915 for the first four
months accumuiative record.

the interfeet contest every year
submit the names of their drivers
with a perfect no-accident record.
The council in turn gives these
drivers pocket certificates on which
Is designated the length of time
that they have operated their COM

The motor vehicle fleets in the
contest are grouped in the follow
ing divisions: bakeries, gasoline
and oil, ice and coal, dairy and pro-
ducts, lumber and building sup
plies, public utilities and transpOr-
tation, and contractors and miscel-
