A two-man team of scientists has synthesised diamonds for industrial use during the past several years in a super-secret project near here, it was disclosed today.
The disclosure came on the heels of an ani nouncement by General Electric Co. that it has solved the riddle of man-made diamonds.
"We have no quarrel with G. E., but our hand has been pres- ed," Mr Wolince W. Harwood, prominent diamond merchant, told the United Press.
The two scientists are Mc

London, Feb. 17. The Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, told the House of Commons today that the British government was prepared to contribute £100,000 toward the cost of the proposed Commonwealth Antarctic expedition.
He also said that the Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand and the deputy Prime Minister of South Africa, following their return from London, were "likely to bring the project to the notice of their governments."
