Solid areas of the quick clay can suddenly turn into a | flowing mass of mud, carry- ing along houses, trees and fences. In the past such dis- astrous movements have ta- | ken a heavy toll of life and a property. The quick clays are marine | glacial deposits, and there are varying theories as to '| why they will suddenly begin flowing, whether from shock or other causes. Similar clay have been reported in Que- bec, northern New York and Maine, says Dr. Paul F. Kerr, University of Columbia min- | eralogist who has just re- | ceived a sample of quick | clay from southern Norway. | The sample was shipped to him with careful instructions | not to turn or shock the. cop- | per tubes filled with | strange material.

Mr. McCormack, 32, uses a braille stylus and desk slate (lower photo) that allows him to take notes at longhand speed. --(CP Photo) TERMITE SECRET Entomologists have tive termites.

Grim Evidence Of Congo's Economic Plight By FRIEDEL UNGEHAUER LEOPOLDVILLE (Reuters)-- Every day, crippled Congolese beggars drag themselves pain- fully through the streets of Leo- poldviile, providing grim _ evi- dence of the economic plight of The congo. They can be seen pleading at the doors of butcher shops for a siiver of meat or sitting out-: side hotels and on the steps of public buildings waiting for the charity of passers by, Although tens of . thousands, are unemployed in Leopold-| vilte, begging is still the private domain of cripples and children. | Able-bodied Congolese do not plead for charity. The invariable plea of beg-) ging children here is: "I am| hungry. I have not eaten for| twe days." It is never more and never Jess than two days, and if they! are offered food instead of the) expecied five-franc piece, they usuaily refuse it. But it is the unemployed, not/ the beggars, who constitute the! msjor social problem. Their| number has been swelled 'to mere than 60,000 out of a pop- ulation of 500,000 by the influx of natives from the bush. TRY FOR WORK Every day, several men will knock at a European's door, meek y offering their services as house boys. Others invent oc- cupations, or offer to cars parked on public squares. Some have drawn up elabo- rate handwritten recommenda- tiens tor themselves, which they wnfoid in front of a cornered European, demanding at the DICTATOR'S CAR _. BROMLEY, England (CP)-- Kent car dealer Andrew Brown returned from Italy with a lim- ousine once owned by the late Mussolini.

It had been standing abandoned in an protect |= lo oifer relief, the Congolese family has shouldered the bur- cen of the unemployed. Those wno do work support relatives whe earn nothing, no matter ho. distant the relationship. Though meat is sometimes rare and expensive in the city, the sight of an undernourished Congolese is rare, at least in Leopoldville.
