Centre County has six com

prOgrams, but the county
"hasn't created any yet,"
Solic said.
The rise in unemployment is
coupled with the rise in in

according to Margaret At

County Board of Assistance.
"Our applications have
quadrupled since Sep

includes food stamps and

she added.
Attinger estimated the
board gets about 1,000 ap

Although applications in
crease around the holidays, it
"is more this year than the
last four years," Attinger
said.

Codeine shortage faces U.S.
WASHINGTON '(UPI)—
Codeine, that popular reliever
of toothaches, coughs and
other ailments, will be

Brezhnev 'seeks peace'
PARIS (UPI) Soviet Communist party
Genera] Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev said
yesterday his goal is "peaceful and cloudless
skies on our planet," and his Vladivostok
summit meeting with President Ford helped
contribute to this.
Speaking at a dinner given in his honor by
French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing,
the Soviet leader said "There is no more
important or more noble goal than ensuring
peaceful and cloudless skies over our planet.
"We must spare no efforts and no toil to
achieve this. In the light of this, we can say
the results of the recent talks in Vladivostok
with Mr. Ford, the United States President,
were positive."
The dinner rounded off a day of summit
talks between the French and Soviet leaders
in the medieval splendor of the chateau of
Rambouillet, 40 miles west of Paris.
'yhe two l leaders announced quick
agreement to step up cooperation, between
their countries in all fields. The talks were
scheduled to continue until noon tomorrow.
In his dinner speech Brezhnev cautioned
that the world stilllaces dangerous situations
in the Middle East and elsewhere.
He urged early convening of a 35-nation

Geneva talks on security and cooperation in
Europe.
Giscard d'Estaing said cooperation with
the Soviet Union is a basic element in French
foreign policy."
"It is inseparable," he said, "from the
efforts we are making in favor of relaxation
of international tensions. This policy has
never been linked with a wish to adapt our
foreign policy to temporary circumstances.
It is a permanent direction in our policy."
Giscard d'Estaing and Brezhnev opened
the talks in Queen Marie Antoinette's 18th
century boudoir in the chateau. A French
spokesman said they cover three Amair

cooperation, the stalled Geneva Conference
on Security and Cooperation in Europe and

Big magnetic field
plotted near Jupiter
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (UPI) With data from Pioneer
it's encounter with Jupiter, space agency scientists yesterday
mapped out the giant planet's magnetic field.
The area, 9 million miles wide, is so enormous that if it could
be seen from earth, it would be four times as big as the sun
even though Jupiter is six times farther away from earth.
Inside the magnetic field lies the . deadly radiation belts that
peril spacecraft. The physicists' map of the belts containing
trapped atomic electrons and protons look like the familiar
pattern of iron filings around a bar magnet.
The magnetic field rapidly contracts and expands like a
jellyfish. This is because it is constantly buffeted by atomic
particles in the solar wind. Somehow, as electrons and protons
move relatively. close to Jupiter, they accelerate. A few of
these particlesgain the energy to break out of the magnetic
field and shoot intß. interplanetary 'space.
Recently, particl with Jupiter's . :"signattire" have been
identified on earth. They travel in rhythms with the 10-hour
day of the fast-rotating planet, 1,300 times bigger than earth.
How these particles break out of the magnetic field is a
secret which, if understood, would apply to the making of
nuclear energy on earth. The Jeirian region is a vast .
laboratory in which spacecraft can measure phenomena on a
grand scale that earth scientists study with their nuclear
accelerators.
One effect confirmed was that the Galilean satellites,
Jupiter's four biggest , moons, tend to sweep up electrons and
protons from their orbit around the planet. In contrast, the
earth's moon has no effect on earth's radiation belts because it
is too far away.
Pioneer 11 approached to 216,000 miles from Jupiter Mon

Jupiter's surroundings was explained by James A. Van Allen
of the University of Iowa; John A. Simpson, of the University
of Chicago; Edward J. Smith, of the Jet Propulsion
