four-year grant, then, is estimated at about $317,000,000 in

Another Fossil Hoak
This, apparently. Is the year for exploding natural his-
tory hoaxes. Just as the period around 1912 was the one for
ferpetrating them.
Perhaps the British Museum's exposure of its famous
’ Piltdown Man” skull as a hoax led the authorities of the
Sydney Mining Museum in Australia to reveal that a fossil,
accepted for 40 years as an extinct insect, is only part of a
20th Century grasshopper.
So the father cut down on his
meat and bun orders.
Took down liis advertising signs.
And no longer bothered to stand
out on the highway to sell hot dogs
And his hot dog sales fell al-

"Isn't it a fine spring day?"
"You don't nave to be cheerful

His light tone vanished with his

"Are you terribly disappointed

“You got fed up with saying

"Phil," he reminded her.

Phil, that I have had too many

she did not answer.

Special to Central Press
TBTASHIXGTON—It Is thought in the State department that the
W impending Big Four meeting in Berlin will have a direct bear-
ing on future negotiations In Korea—if the meeting with Russia
comes off.
Some officials believe the Krcnilm hopes to use any Korean settle-
ment as a bargaining lever to gain western agreement to a Big Five
meeting, including Red China.
In any event, informed sources say this country will stand Arm
against the demand that Russia sit in as a neutral
at the full-dress Korean political conference.
One top policy-making official declared that the
Communists' proposal that Russia be considered a
neutral is laughable considering the fact that Mos-
cow instigated the Korean war and directed ths
Red forces which participated.

decision is to change emphasis—but not overall

The Kremlin Thus, the policy of avoiding opposition to Presi-
dent Eisenhower merely for opposition’s sake wijl
continue. Whereas last session the Democrats boasted of supporting
Ike more steadfastly than did many Republicans they will now stress
those issues where their party disagrees with the administration.
The Democrats realize, of course, that there will be many matters
on which they must go along with the chief executive. These Include
reciprocal trade. Social Security and so on.
However, they know. too. that there will be other issues on which
they will fight him—such as any further cuts the administration may

• JUPITER’S LITTLE HELPERS—Don’t look now, but the business
of making rain is becoming so serious that Congress is getting ready
to pass a law that would force dabblers with the elements to apply
for federal licenses.
It may take a couple of years before all the legislative details can
be put in appropriate form and finally approved, but a good start has
been made.
About 80 top-notch scientists arc planning to help the Il-man
presidential committee named to study the problem decide whether
man’s efforts to create rain arc as successful as some believe.
Retired Navy Capt. Thomas Orville who heads the committee says
rain-making is an established fact and that the only matter to b«
determined is the degree of effectiveness.
If Orville’s group reports that rain-making is practical the govern-
ment may be forced into setting up a permit-issuing system Just as
was done to bring order out of chaos in the radio broadcasting field.
After all. experts point out that if rain-making really catches th«
popular fancy some areas may need federal protection against In-
discriminately-induced cloudbursts.

• CHIP OFF THE OLD ROCK—Senator George Smathers say* h«
has completed one of the strangest assignments ever
handed to a legislator by a constituent—and there
have been some whacky ones. The request involved
a 1.000-pound piece of the Rock of Gibraltar for dis-
play in the lobby of a new skyscraper in Smathers’
home state of Florida.
Smathers said he passed on the request to the British embassy ir
Washington and was subsequently advised that the necessary author-
ity had been obtained from London for chipping off a hunk of "Tht
Rock."
The Florida Democrat is sure it was one of the most unusual mic
sions ever successfully carried out by a legislator.
