There Mav Be
Tuna Belt Along
Equator In Pacific
LOS ANGELES, (/P)—Evidence
that there may be a tuna fish
belt along the equator in the Pa
cific Ocean capable of adding to
the food supply of both America
and Asia was reported by a gov
ernment scientist.
Some ingenious calculations
about the behavior of ocean cur
rents and how they affect marine
life led to discovery of this new
potential fish supply.
Dr. O. E. Sette, a researcher for
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Serv
ice, headed the operations. He told
about it at a meeting of the Am
erican Association for the Ad
vancement of Science.
^ For many years, tuna was found
only near the coast of Mexico and
Southern California and a few
places off the Asiatic coast. Just
before the outbreak of World War
II, Japanese fishermen were
working all the way across the
Pacific getting tuna as well as
other fish.
American fishermen went on
the theory that tuna could be
found only near the coasts. And
the American supply was de
creasing. No one here knew how
the Japanese were finding tuna
in the middle of the ocean.
Dr. Sette and associates got
their first clue from studies of
the two Pacific equatorial cur
rents.
In the places where the cur
rents veer apart, they leave a de
pressed area which is filled by
water welling up from far below
the surface. This upwelling brings
Acheson Says Iranian Oil
Situation Moving Rapidly
Along Road to Disaster
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Secretary
of State Acheson said Tuesday
there is every indication the Iran
ian oil situation is “moving rapid
ly along the road to disaster.”
Acheson expressed that gloomy
view while testifying before the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
in support of the administration’s
proposed $8,500,000,000 foreign
aid program.
It is “inescapable,” he declared,
that Iran’s oil is “a vital re
source” to the free world.
“I regret to say there is every
indication the situation is moving
rapidly along the road to disaster,”
he said. “I see no bright spots
on it.”
w'th it mineral nutrients.
When minerals like phosphates
and nitrogen rise near enough to
the surface where sunlight pene
trates, they fertilize sea water
just as they do soil. Ocean plant
life and microscopic sea animals
then flourish to became a food
supply for tuna.

“Real Settlement”
Of Korean War
' j l
By ERNEST B. VACCARO
TUULOHOMA, Tenn., (JP) —
President Truman said today the
United States is ready to join in
a “real settlement” of the Korean
war “which fully ends the ag
gression and restores peace and
security.”
While Mr. Truman did not so
laibel it, that was obviously his
reply to the proposal by Jacob
A. Malik, Russian delegate to the
United Nations, for a cease-fire
and withdrawal of troops from
the area of the 38th parallel.
Mr. Truman, on this first anni
versary of the Communist attack
on South Korea, said the Reds
suffered 1,000,000 casualties and
have been thrown back “behind
the line they started from.”
The President, in a major for
eign policy speech, blistered Re
publican critics for “spreading
fear and slander and lies” and try
ing to “destroy” Dean Acheson,
whom he called “one of the great
est Secretaries of State in our
history.”
In guarded language, which did
not mention Malik or his proposal
specifically, the President talked
to a crowd gathered to dedicate
a new $157,500,000 Air Force test
