Americau d European scientists are going lo a lot of trouble and expense tfytng to decide a question In which they've always disagreed. ? This is whether North and South America actually are slip ping over the surface of the earth i t? eliding farther and farther away from Europe and Africa as time goes on. They ore, the Europeans say. And so are Australia and Green land and hundreds of less impor tant little landH. ?? They at o not, the Americans contend. So to settle the argument the scientists are getting together and conducting one of the greatest aurveys ever made. . Dr. William M. Bowie, chief of the United States Geodetic ttur- ' ?ey, is in Madrid now attending an international scientific confer ence that is making the final ar [atgemente. 7 "i The ?u*vey is expected to start within a month. >>* (Major C.

By checking up these signals with the stars at the receiving points, exact calculations can be made. "Until now we have been' forced to signal by cable and Vlro. This has -been a harrier in the way of perfect accuracy be cause of the .time It takes to ( transmit such signals. Many 1 points, too. cannot be reached by 1 wire, "INow by using radio, these j drawbacks can be overcome. The tests will encircle the globe.

The theory, in brief, is: Continents are made of cmn paratively light materiel, such as gneiss and granite.
