DiSalle Issues Controls
On Livestock Slaughter
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (JP)—An order controlling all commer
cial livestock slaughter was issued today in an effort to keep meat
flowing to the housewife at regulated prices.
It is the weapon chosen by the Office of Brice Stabilization to
prevent an outbreak of the black markets of World War II when
grocery store meat counters were
bare much of the time.
The directive beginning April
1 limits slaughterers to killing
quotas based on their 1950 vol
ume.
It aims to block meat bootleg
gers who might start slaughtering
for sale at fancy prices.
New slaughterers can't start
unless they can show they are
badly needed by the public.
Black Market
Said OPS Director Michael Di-
Salle:
"We are determined to keep
meat out of the black market, and
to see that steaks, pork chops and
roasts continue to be available in
all sections of the country at a
fair price.
"We believe this slaughtering
control is a big step in that direc
tion."
Officials said meat rationing is
not in prospect, because the sup
ply is adequate.
Meat is one of the foods ,on
which price ceilings have been set.
Livestock is not controlled.
However, beginning with the
slaughterer, maximum prices are
frozen at each level at the hi ;h
-est figure received by each sell
er during the Dec. 19-Tan. 25 pv!r
iod.
Susquehanna
Floods Town
COLUMBIA, Pa., Feb. 9 (R)—
A state of emergency was de
clared in this Lancaster county
town of 12,000 today after a mas
sive ice jam sent the Susquehan
na river surging to a record
height of 17 feet.
At least 40 families in Lancas
ter and York counties were forced
to evacuate their homes, service
was halted over the Pennsylvania
railroad's freight line from the An
thrahite field, and many river:-
side roads were inundated.
Burgess Walter Royce of Col
umbia called on the citizens to
conserve water after the , high wa
ters put the works out of
commission. He requested res
taurants to serve drinking water
only on request.
Small Reservoir
The only water available in the
borough comes from a small res
ervoir. Plans were made to bring
water in by tanks for drinking
purposes only and to relieve the
emergency at the Columbia hos
pital.
All industrial plants were ord
ered closed, idling about 2000
workers.
An estimated ten families were
evaculated from around Colum
bia, 20 at nearby Washington
boro, six at Wrightsville in York
county and three. at Long Level,
ten miles down the river from
Wrightsville. Telephone and elec
tric services were out at Long
Level.
There were no reports of in
jury as the river surged to 17 feet
above normal, dropped down dur
ing the afternoon, and then went
back up again as the ice contin
ued to pile up.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Mock Air Raid
To Be Tried
In Pa. Today
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9 (EP)—
"Enemy" squadrons of planes will
attack Pennsylvania tomorrow in
the first full-scale mock air raid
on the state since World War 11.
The raid won't involve the gen
eral public except that you'll hear
the grim wailing of sirens. Civil
defense officials hope you'll re
member the sounds of those sirens
and consider what you'd do if the
sirens signalled a real enemy at
tack.
The test will be repeated Sun
day.
At any time between 2 and 4
p.m., on both of those days, the
sirens will begin to howl. They'll
go off when the "red alert" has
been sounded.
Local authorities said yesterday
that no alarm would be sounded
at State College.
Players To Cast
For "John Buil"
Readings for new people who
wish to try out for "John Bull's
Other Island," Players' last Cen
ter stage production of the year,
will be held in the Green room
of Schwab auditorium Feb. 12
and 13 from 7 to 10 p.m.
All others will try out in the
Green room Feb. 15 and 16 from
7 to 10 p.m.
Those interested should sign up
beforehand at the Student Union
desk. Warren Smith will direct
the production.
Hosier Addresses
Weather Society
Charles L. Hosler, instructor in
meteorology at the College, re
cently addressed a meeting of the
American Meteorological society
in New York.
Hosler explained that crystal
lization of supercooled droplets in
clouds was possible because wa
ter droplets have an electrical
"double layer." This means the
surface is different from the in
terior.
When molecules of high polar
izability, added by nature or by
cloud seeding, change this electri
cal balance, the supercooled drop
lets will crystallize.

Seoul Suburbs
TOKYO, Saturday, Feb. 'lO
(IP) —American Third Division
tanks and troops punched two
and one-half miles through a
driving snowstorm Friday to the
south bank of the Han river at
a point five miles southeast of
Communist-held Seoul.
A second tank-led column roll
ed within 2000 yards of Yong
dungpo, southwestern industrial
suburb of Seoul.
A third force knifed between
Seoul and the port city of Inch
on, 22 miles southwest of Seoul,
and drove within six miles of
Inchon. The great 16-inch guns
of the battleship Missouri poured
a steady fire of 2100-pound
blockbusting shells into the port.
Allied field artillery pounded
Seoul itself across the frozen Han
as Chinese Red resistance falter
ed all along the western end of
the Korean battlefront.
In returning to the Han, Lt.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's
Eighth Army scored its first ma
jor victory over the Chinese
Reds.
While Seoul appeared , a politi
cal pri7e ripe for plucking, there
was no immediate indication
that Ridgway was in any hurry
to seize the city. It' was devoid
of military value when abandon
ed to the Chinese on Jan. 4.
The announced objective in
the "limited offensive" launched
by the Eighth Army on Jan. 25
was to destroy as many of the
Communist foe as possible at
minimum allied cost.

U.S. Favors Security
Pact For Pacific Area
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (?P)—The United States gave an offi
cial boost today to proposals for creating a Pacific ocetin security
treaty, paralleling the North Atlantic Pact, and covering possibly
eight nations in the Western Hemisphere and Far East.
Responsible officials here said that although the pact project
still has a long way to go, qualified nations which might participate
include Australia and New Zea
land—both backers of the idea—
the Philippines, Japan, the Unit
ed States, Canada, Britain (be
cause of Malaya) and France (In
do-China).
In American policy the idea of
a pact is closely linked to the
drive for early conclusion of a
Japanese peace treaty which Am
bassador John Foster Dulles is
now carrying forward in Japan.
For a treaty like the Atlantic
Pact, officials say, would provide
not only for the security of Japan
and other nations against Soviet
Communism but also for the se
curity of nations like the Phil
ippines, Australia and New Zea
land against any resurgence of
Japanese militarism.
Boost To Treafy
The diplomatic, cautious shove
to the Pacific treaty project was
given by Assistant Secretary of
State, Dean Rusk, Far Eastern
policy director, at a regional con
ference on American foreign pol
icy at Philadelphia today. Rusk
declared, after calling for early
conclusion of a Japanese treaty:
"If the nations of Asia and the
Pacific conclude that the time has
come to move closer together in
arrangements to safeguard the
security and well-being of the
area as a whole, the United States
will take a sympathetic interest
in such a development.
U.S. Beauties
Called Good
Propaganda
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9—(/P)—
Movie scenes of American bath
ing beauties were defended by
Assistant Secretary of State Ed
ward Barrett today as a legiti
mate weapon in the propaganda
war with Moscow.
Barrett made the statement in
replying to criticism aimed at the
State department's "Voice of
America" program by Rep. Judd
(R-Minn).
The Minnesota legislator had
complained to the House Foreign
Affairs committee that a recent
movie distributed by the "Voice"
was devoted to beach beauties
and "hot jazz."
Barrett, who is director of the
department's Overseas Informa
tion program, said the scenes
Judd complained about were
"perfectly appropriate and con
structive," and declared:
"I want to knock in the head
the idea' that we are spreading
to the world a lot of frothy busi
ness about bathing girls, jazz and
the like.
Scenes Only Incidental
"The only bathing beach
scenes distributed have been in
cidental illustrations in sequen
ces designed to expose Soviet
lies about Americans being
downtrodden, unhappy, boorish
people suffering under capital
ism's heel."
Its purpose, he said, is to spot
light "the phoniness of Kremlin
Communism" and help build up
"spunk and determination in the
free world" while disproving So
viet lies about America. •
