Show '4 Tuesday, March 2, 1948 DAILY HERALD Scientific Expedition Hopes To Settle Long Controversy WASHINGTON, March 2 (U.R) Teams of scientists tafce off this week on a solar eclipse expedition expedi-tion to settle if they can a longstanding long-standing coritrbversy about the earth's surface. The issue is: Does it have big or little bumps on it (not counting count-ing mountains)? The scientists also hope to get the most accurate data yet obtained ob-tained about the planet's size and shape. Everybody knows that the earth is about 25,000 miles around and some 8000 miles in diameter, and that is is slightly flattened at the' poles. But round numbers and approximations ap-proximations won't satisfy these investigators. Seven teams of them, operating under auspices of the National Geographic society, so-ciety, will observe the sun's ecltnse by the moon on May 8-9. They will set uo seven stations sta-tions in Burma. Siam, China, Korea, Japan and the Aleutians. Once on station, they will spend the time until eclipse day testing instruments and getting set. By recording the precise time when the moon touches the sun's ledge at different places along a 5320-mile arc, they will be able to compute exact distances between be-tween the stations. And from that data they can figure out the earth's size, shape, and sea-level contour. What they learn should settle. arguments between the little-bump little-bump and big-bump schools of geodetists. It is known that the earth's sea-level surface (as mathematically computed with mountains and valleys hypotheti-cally hypotheti-cally smoothed out) is net uni form, It has bumps. One group says these bumps are no more than 15 to 20 yards high at the most. Another believes be-lieves they may p.ush up to more than 100 yards. This second group argues that the weight of ice during glacial times distorted the planet's surface sur-face more than the other school will admit. Intercontinental distances recorded re-corded by the eclipse expedition should, when correlated with those obtained by more conventional conven-tional means, iron out the bump issue once and for all.

Y., March 2 (U.R) Two newspapermen who went to jail rather than reveal a confidential news source were hailed as "martyrs of the press" today and were swamped with gifts from admirers. Douglas V. Clarke, 33, news editor of the Newburgh News, and Charles L. Leonard, 27, reporter re-porter for the paper, began serving serv-ing 10-day sentences last Friday for contempt of court. They also were fined $100 each, which they refused to pay. They were held in contempt after they refused to tell a grand Jury where they obtained numbers num-bers iottery tickets reproduced in the newspaper along with an article on gambling conditions, in the city. They said to reveal their source would break a confidence. "You are martyrs of the press,'" said Monsignor Henry O'Carroll. 82-year-old dean of Catholic clergy in Rockland and Orange counties, who visited them to giv ttiem his blessing. The Catholic prelate was only one of dozens of visitors who came to the jail yesterday. "A steady stream of candy, flowers, cigars, cigarets and ice cream, dozens of letters and telegrams tele-grams and phone calls and visitors have been pouring in," said I-.

Paul Van Levnen, Cincinnati, Cin-cinnati, said acetylene gas from a leaking container in the shipfit-ters' shipfit-ters' shop was responsible for the explosion yesterday when the ship was 210 miles off the California coast. The explosion occurred about five minutes after a general quarters drill on the first platform plat-form deck Just below the main deck. The one man killed was in the shop and the injured were in the adjacent crew quarters.

"We're worn out from being social. "It's pretty nice to have so many friends, but the beds are hard and I've got kinks in my back." Meanwhile, State Sen. Thornas C. Desmond, Newburgh Republican, Republi-can, prepared to introduce a bill in the legislature today which would protect newspapermen from divulging their sources of information. Wallace Brennan. of Dunkirk, N. Y.. president ofthe New York State Society of Newspaper Editors, Edi-tors, called for every member to appeal for passage of Desmond's bill. Attorneys for the two newsmen tried unsuccessfully on Saturda , to free the men on a writ of l habeas corpus, but it was denied' on jurisdictional grounds. The men have not paid their fines because their attorneys said that would be an admission of "the correctness of the conviction and penalty." Clarke said he was particularly pleased by a gift from . the local ice cream store. "I used to stop by every day after work for a fudge sundae," he said. "Now- they've promised to send me one every day I'm in jail."
