World Gets Warmer to Produce Floods
BROKEN DIKES like this released flood waters in wide areas
of Holland and England in a recent storm.
AP Newsfeatures
AMES, la.—An Iowa State College specialist says that Europe’s
worst flood “in almost six centuries” may be another reflection of
the fact that “we are at present living in a time when abnormal
warming is occurring in the Northern Hemisphere.”.
Dr. James E. McDonald, assistant professor of physics who spe
cializes in physical meteorology, said it is necessary to go back “to
the early 1300’s to find sustained periods of storminess similar to the
devastating tidal floods which have recently struck North Sea
coastal areas.”
Dr. McDonald said scientists are searching the past to try to find
an explanation for extreme climactic fluctuations.
“Evidence accumulating over the past decade,” he said, “seems to
point toward solar energy output as the quantity whose variations
may be fundamentally responsible for climactic fluctuations.”
From 1300 to 1400, he said, North Europe suffered climactic
handicaps never since equalled “save for just such exceptional
storms as the one reoprted recently.”
No one knows why the 14th century was so stormy but “it was
an uncomfortable time to be alive,” he said. Sea-floods of those
times completely altered the coastline of the North Sea. Half the
island of Helgoland was ripped away on Jan. 16, 1300, and the
former island Borkum was cut by the same storms into small rem
nants that became the present Frisian islands.
When the atmosphere brings disaster in its violence, Dr. McDon
ald said, the student of climate, “can only point out that it has at
some time in the past been as bad, or worse—and will be as bad,
or worse, again.”
Annual Tick
Union Asks Test of
Immigration Act’s
Constitutionality
SEATTLE, — The constitu
tionality of the new MeCarran
Walter immigration act will be
tested before a three-judge court
with at least one member of the
j Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
participating, Federal Judge Wil
liam J. Lindberg has decided.
He ruled after conducting a
hearing Wednesday on a petition
for a restraining order against
District Director of Immigration
John P. Boyd.
The action, first challenge to
the constitutionality of the act
since it became effective Dec. 24,
was brought by the Cannery Work
ers Union, Local 37, International
Longshoremen and Warehouse
men’s Union find) and five in
dividual members.
Members of the union, many of
them Filipino cannery workers,
fear if they go to Alaska for the
salmon cannery season they may
be excluded from this country on
their return, Atty. Sigfried Hesse
told the court.
Judge Lindberg, before certify
ing the case to the Ninth Circuit
Court, commented that if the
wording of the act pertains to all
aliens, including those legally in
this country, as it has been inter
preted by the Immigration Ser
vice, then the rights of some per
sons might be prejudiced. Under
its terms, he said, an alien who is
excluded has no recourse to the
courts.
"TICK" says this century
clock when it gets down to
20 below zero. Then temper
atures must rise to 80 and
fall to 20 again before there
is another tick. Designed by
G. G. Ensign, a watch com
pany engineer (Elgin), and
made by Chicago Museum of
Science and Industry scien
tists, it was put in the corner
stone of the new museum
building. Experts think its re
cording device will show each
year for the next 100 years.
