Piccard designed the clustergrouping to eliminate hazards usually encountered in bringing down a large gas-filled bag such as that ' of the Explorer 1. of the National \ Geographic Society, which ripped wide open over Nebraska and forced its fliers into parachutes. Piccard believed by releasing the small balloons singly he could better control his flight. In the “Pleiades,' 1 dynamite caps

At dawn he started blasting balloons loose from the lower cluster. They snagged in the upper cluster. He pulled some of the balloons down by their ropes and stabbed them. This proved too slow, as the Pleiades was fast drifting for the river. He brought out his pistol, began puncturing the galloons with bujlets. A dozen bullseyes brought him to the tree tops. As the Pleiades bounced to the , ground, hydrogen gas in the surviving balloons caught fire. Piccard leaped to safety but flames melted down his gondola and its contents —barometer, two-way radio, and rate of climb indicator. o TENSION SPREADS (CONTINUED FROM CAGE ONE) "Imtungs" of the walled city Instructing Americans where to concentrate in event of general hostilities. It was arranged that, on the outbreak of an emergency, signal lights should lie flashed from the embassy radio tower to warn all Americans to make for their concentration point and put themselves under the protection of the marines. The dramatic order of American | authorities came after the temporary breakdown of negotiations beI tween Chinese officials and JapanI ese army leaders. The Japanese, their anger , mounting because of bland Chin- | ese delay in bowing to their dei mauds—and their anxiety mount- ! ing because of a continued concentration of Chinese troops in the north -seized the main Tientsin post office, began censoring mails and started a round up of Chinese newspaperr.ten. One reason for their action was ' information that there are 50,000 Chinese regulars in the area about 100 miles south of Peiping.

The Domei News agency reported I from Tientsin today that the Jap-| anese north China army has sent-; ed an ultimatum on China threat-i ening an attack unless the Chinese I immediately cease their warlike preparations. The ultimatum asserts that the I Japanese army "reserves the right | to take free action at any time it | may see fit during or after today —July 20—unless its demands are i met. The Japanese high command de- i mauds specifically that the Chin-1 ese immediately cease anti-Japan-ese activities “like the Lukuochiao incident” (one of the sktr-I mishes between Chinese and Jap anese soldiers), and the moving of troops towards the vital area ; outside Peiping. The term “free action" is that ! used in Japanese diplomatic par-1 lance to mean military measure. Simultaneously Domei’s Nanking ' correspondent reported that th“l central Chinese government was' preparing an answer to a new ! Japanese communication received by it during a midnight conferenc? between representatives of the I Japanese embassy and foreign minister Wang Chung-Hui. The Japanese ultimatum, Domei s.’id. was not delivered to Nan-1 king but to North China officials. This was in line with Japan's insistence that the North China situation must be settled locally—rather than between Nanking and Tokyo. The foreign office here, however, was accepting the general diplomatic correspondence of the Nan- j ' king government bearing on the i situation and was preparing re- | plies. Thus a confused situation prevailed today with two sets of negotiations going on with China and the government worried by Monday s reports of fighting on

He considered adopting recommendations of federal and civilian scientists who urged the governI ment should attempt to foresee and plan for that and other socialeconomic consequences from such developments as: Mechanical cotton picker, photoelectric cell, air-conditioning equipment, plastics, artificial cotton and woolen-like fibres from cellulose, synthetic rubber, prefabricated houses, television, the automobile trailer, gasoline produced from coal, steep-flight airplanes and chemical agriculture. Adaption of those inventions to everyday life within 25 years — and their probable effects — was outlined by the national resources ; committee cooperating with the

national research council, the social science research council and the national council of education. Mr. Roosevelt read the 888-page report, then intimated that he would appoint a special committee within the government to watch developments that may cause technological unemployment. “While it is certain that much of the unemployment eaused by the march of technical advance is absorbed by new occupationfl born of new industries." the president said, “it is equally true that in the meantime labor may pay a very heavy price through the readjustment and adaptations necessary on the part of workers whose jobs are affected by the change. "Employers likewise are deeply affected by swift technological i changes producing obsolesence

and displacement of capital investment. “More than jobs and investment are affected by technical change: family, church, community, state and all industry are subject to its influence. Study and investigation of technological advances and their social implications constitute one of our most important American planning problems. The report cited figures to show that “during aach two-year period, on the average, between 1922 and 1929, 49 out nf every IjOOO employes withdrew or were forced out of the industry in which they were working, compared with 21 men out of every 1,000 during each five-year period from 1899 to 1914.” The scientists foresaw these

development highlights from other Inventions they regard aa almost certain to be commonplace within the nest 26 years: 1— Housing: continued development of prefabrication; more use of trailers as homes for migratory workers and for commercial display purposes; air conditioning will be made generally available through reduced coat, and noiseless appliances will be perfected. 2 — Artificial cotton and wool, synthetic rubber, plastics, sclentlets will Increase use of cellulose, cotton, woodpulp, corn slocks, sugarcane and other vegetable material now wasted to produce cotton and woolen-like fibre. Synthetic rubber has been realized, The plastics industry—manufacture of moulded articlea —will be expanded. 3 — Television: perfection underway now with promise of genoral visual broadcasting Prediction indudes transmission of facsimile photographs and news dispatches. 4 — Transportation: airplane costs must be reduced if private flying becomes common. Planes probably will be of "roof-hopper" type similar to autogiros to enable use of city rooftops as airfields; further use of oil-burning diesel engines. More streamlining; gasoline is now produced from coal but price prohibitive. s—Agriculture:s—Agriculture: chemists developing "tray" agriculture where plants are grown only from chemicals with no soil; expansion of rural electrification; better breeds of both crops and livestock; 'robot' weather recording stations; new attacks on insects and pests.
