Greenland's Iceberg Output Reaches New Low This Year
University Daily Kanson
Washington, D.C. (U.P.)—Greenland's largest export, icebergs, hit a new low this year when, of an output estimated at 10,000 to 15,000 bergs, none succeeded in reaching the crowded shipping lanes between North America and Europe.
The largest Arctic icebergs take off from the continually advancing glaciers and icecap fringe of Green-land's west coasts, says the National Geographic society.
In an average year about 400 of the total production survive an 1,800-mile southward drift before disintegrating in the warm Gulf Stream. This year no icebergs were reported below the 46th parallel along the southern tip of Newfoundland.
Major Arctic icebergs are produced by about 18 "name" glaciers. The Humboldt, near Thule, north of Cape York, is one that supplies outsize models.
Moving south through Baffin bay and Davis strait to Labrador, many of the crystal "castles" and plain "hatterops" jam against the coast or are caught in the natural traps of islands and bays.
Mountains of ice a mile across and rising 200 feet above water have been reported, but the largest are piny compared to the 20-mile-long bergs sighted by Australian air reconnaissance in the Antarctic in 1948.
A few swing into the Labrador current and continue southward. Some drift toward Belle Isle strait and some move around Newfoundland by way of Grand Banks to invade main traffic arteries and threaten shipping.
Although icebergs occur throughout the year the greatest concentration usually reaches the shipping lanes from March through June. The season occasionally extends from February through August.

Greatest danger zone for steamships is around latitude 42 degrees 45 minutes north and longitude 47 degrees 52 minutes west, the approximate locale of the Titanic disaster of 1912, when the ship rammed an iceberg's invisible underwater shelf. The toll of lives in this north Atlantic disaster was 1,600.
Since the Titanic tragedy the United States Coast Guard's International Ice Patrol, its maintenance shared by a dozen countries, locates icebergs and warms ships in or approaching the danger zone. Radar and Iofan are among the tools used by the patrol.
The U.S. Hydrographic office also issues "pilot charts" of the region, laying down safe courses for ships. No ships have been lost by iceberg collision in the regular shipping lanes since the patrol was inaugurated.
E. Palmer Patterson, Western Civilization proctor, will speak before the Young Democrats on "Southeastern Asia" at 7:30 p.m. today in 106 Green.
Young Democrats To Hear Patterson
Club President Martha Ann Truman, third year law student, also announced that plans will be discussed for a Young Democrat dance to be in Topeka next month.
Collegiate Democrat clubs from Kansas State College, Washburn university, Baker university and Emporia State Teachers college will also participate in the event.

Bach's "Christmas Oratorio" has been selected as the first major work to be presented by the University chorus.
Chorus To Sing Oratorio By Bach
Tryouts are being held to choose soloists for the oratorio, which will be given in December, Clayton Krehbiel, director, said.
This will be the first of two major concerts by the chorus in its first season. Anyone desiring to take part can still do so, Mr. Krebiel said, as the chorus is open to all students and staff members. "We can especially use more men," he said.
The cantatas which comprise the "Christmas Oratorio" were written by Bach in 1734. The six parts were to be sung on successive services in
The oratorio is comprised of chorals, narrative recitative, arias, and choruses. The recitatives are passages of scripture which tell the entire story of the coming of the Christ Child. They are sung by a tenor.
the St. Thomas church of Leipzig during the festival of Christmas.
The work is seldom presented in its entirety because of its length. A shortened version will be sung by the chorus, Mr. Krehbeli said.
Journalism Graduate Named Correspondent
Milo Farneti, a KU journalism graduate, has been appointed Tokyo correspondent for the Associated Press.
Mr. Farnett was graduated from the University in 1948. Since that time he was on the foreign desk for the AP in New York. He expects to be on duty in Korea and possibly later in Southeast Asia.
"We are hoping to perform the work with orchestra," he said. "If that is not possible, the oratorio is still very effective with organ."
While a student at the University he was correspondent for the Topeka Daily Capital. He also served as managing editor, sports editor, and city editor for the Daily Kansas.
