I" 1 Bj" EDWARD HEIMAN r : 11 '' j Friends i's you have a vague desire to take off on a junket to the moor. a possibility which many scientists claim is within Our lifetime—-forget it! We read of-some of the problems of space flight posed by an authority on the subject. Os ■course, we realize that many of us have experienced rather, confusing and ofttimes terrifying bouts with gravity while staggering home in tlie wee hours after a gala session with the boys, but that was child’s play. Merely getting to ' sleep intspace. according to qjir authority, could be a real problem because being weightless, we would be “marooned in a vacuum of Orientational clues." In simple language we wouldn’t know up from down. h i R seems, too, that unless the space traveler is securely anchored in the ship, he considers any surface he touches to be the bottom, whether it be the ceiling, the walls or the floor. Speaking of Bottom, that’s exactly where our prices are . . , at ROCK-BOTTOM!

Troops Ordered To Halt London Strike ; Gasoline Transport Strike In London LONDON UP — British troops today were ordered to smash a gasoline transport strike—Alleged to be Communist inspired — which spread a creeping paralysis through the world’s largest city. Labor minister Sir Walter Monckton ordered 1.600 trodps to start distributing gasoline and fuel oil Saturday to prevent the collapse of essential services. ' His decision was announced to a grave House of Commons, The 3,000 wildcat strikers who\ have defied their own union by the work stoppage. The government’s move raised faint hopes that strike leaders might be forced to call off their walkout at a mags meeting this afternoon. The unofficial strike leaders, however, threatened to spread the stoppage by urging other workers to refuse to use army-distributed fuel. y The walkout already has spread from this metropolis of stra'nded cars and buses and dwindling food supplies to northeast England where a walkout of 160 drivers at Jarrow threatened to deprive a wide area of gasoline. The average person his 125,000 hairs on his* head.
