Bacteria
Found In
Meteors
BERKELEY. Calif., Jan. 31.
—A possible clue to two of
science's oldest riddles—how did
life originate and does it exist
outside the earth?—was seen
today in the report of Dean
Charles B. Lipman, University of
California plant physiologist,
that he had found living bacteria
in meteors.
Prof. Lipman said he found
microscopic forms of life in ihe
interior substance of aerolites
after taking every possible pre
caution to make certain any life
he found came from the outer
reaches of space and not fron
the earth.
His latest discovery is a more
startling corrollary to his report
last year of finding bacteria
which had apparently lived for
millions of years in coal and
petroleum buried deep within the
earth.

ICC PROMISES
DIFFERENTIAL
RATES STUDY
Quick Action Seen In
Letter To Sen.
Sheppard
“Every possible effort is being
made and will be made to expedite
a decision" by the Interstate Com
merce commission in the Valley’s
differential case, according to a
letter from George B. McGmty,
secretary of the commission, to
Sen. Morris Sheppard.
The letter, written in response to
an inquiry from Sen. Sheppard,
following receipt of a telegram
from the South Texas Shippers
association, points out that the
commission has no authority to
require carriers to reduce rates
except in a formal proceeding.
McGmty s letter follows:

“My Dear Senator:
“I have your letter of January

January 13, from the Southwest

relates to rates on vegetables iron,

on account of the present very

in that territory are unable to ship
cabbage and other vegetables. Tne

Itself, some general comments ap

familiar with the fact that follow

quiring reductions in rates on de

territory to eastern points, using
the so-called Hoch-Smith resolu

Court enjoined the decision and
held that said resolution did not

had no right to do more than to
prescribe reasonable maximum
rates on agricultural commod’ties
and could not give preference to
those commodities where the facts
and circumstances were the sam,1.
Consequently, it is clear that the
commission's power to prescrioe
rates goes no farther than to orc

ICING RATES
DATE IS SET
February 6 Slash To Save
$15 To $40 A Car
For Valley
New icmg privileges which the
Southern Pacific and Missouri
Pacific railroads have granted ic
the Lower Rio Grandi Valley will
become effective Feb. 6. according
to announcement received here to
day.
These privileges were granted
two weeks ago following a comm
ence in Chicago, after they had
previously been refused.
The new regulations permit Val
ley shippers to take advantage of
several forms of refrigeration, wiih
considerably lower costs if they
use less ice.
Rules in the past have compelled
the use of complete refrigeration,
including bunker ice in the cars.
For some time California and
Arizona have been shipping wita
only initial top and body ice. and
have saved greatly on icing char
ges.
This has given them an advan
tage over the Valley in the con
suming markets, and the Valley
has sought similar privileges.
By using the privileges Valley
shippers will be able to save Iro n
$15 to $40 a car. depending on com
modity and method of icing.
