three to five miles an hour when
“it just stopped."

North America
May Be Due for
Major lee Age
WASHINGTON, UP*—New find
ings of "atomic time-keeping”
suggest that North America may
be heading into another major ice
age, a government geologist said
Saturday.
The possibility exists, said Dr.
Thor N. V. Karlstrom of the U.S.
Geological Survey, that climatic
conditions conducive to the ex
pansion of glaciers may even now
be brewing in the arctic and that
within the next 10,000 to 15,000
yea^s ice might spread over Can
ada and reach the U.S. border.
He told a reporter about this in
amplifying a technical report he
made to the fall meeting of the
National Academy of Sciences.
His report dealt with new findings
about glaciers of ithe past which
he said have been made possible
by the use of “radiocarbon dating”
techniques.
Radiocarbon dating—or “atomic
'time-keeping”—is a method of
computing the age of organic ma
terial by means of the radioactiv
ity it emits. That is, the older the
specimen, the weaker its radio
activity.
And, since organic materials
have been deposited in various
layers in the earth by advancing
and retreating glaciers, Karlstrom
said the atomic-clocking tech
nique offers a new and more pre
cise method of dating very an
cient glaciers.
He told the Academy the new
evidence suggests—for the North
ern Hemisphere at least—more or
less precise cycles of glacial for
mation and retreat.
U.N. Relief Agency
Agrees With Israel on
Feeding Arab Refugees
TEL AVIV, Israel, 'The U.N.
Relief and Works Agency has
agreed with Israel to continue
feeding Arab refugees in the
Gaza strip on a temporary emer
gency basis.
UNRWA has been housing and
feeding about 200,000 Arabs who
fled or were driven from Israel
to the Gaza strip during the Arab
Israeli war in 1948. The strip was
under Egyptian administration
until Israeli troops occupied it
along with the Egyptian Sinai
Peninsula over a week ago.
The city of Pittsburgh, Pa., has
more streets than any other city.
