Inventor Predicts N ew Bomb To Wreak Havoc in Next War

newly developed type will

A new explosive of terrific detonating power, he said, already has been tested by Germany in Spain with ghastly results. Its secref, he

asserted, is a combination of liquid oxygen and carbon, which generates “lightning-fast detonating waves.” Mr. Barlow is consulting engineer on aerial munitions for the Glenn L. Martin Co. of Baltimore, manufacturers of bombing planes. He has developed plans for bembs similar to those reportedly tried out by the Germans, but ‘safer to handle. “Ten such bombs,” he said, “were dropped onto Barcelona as a test of their power to destroy human beings. Describes Slaughter

“None of these were considered heavy bombs, but one of them fell in an open square and it killed most of the people there. It killed all the passengers on two streetcars gnd a bus. People were killed more than an eighth of a mile from the bomb’s point of detonation.

“Every great military power on earth must reckon with the deadly truth told by the ruthless German experiment.

“American, British and French military observers who were in Barcelona at the time searched the wreckage and the streets for evidence that would tell the secret of what those German bombs | were composed of. They found traces of oil carbons, magnesium, aluminum, etc. They knew that liquid oxygen was one of the ingredients used, but they still do not know the German secret. : : 1 “They are still wondering what safety factors the Germans used in employing the liquid-oxygen explosives in aerial bombs, generally considered too hazardous to attempt. “The fact is, the Germans did not consider the safety of their bombing crew. They could not. The scarcity of soft woods in Germany leaves the Germans without a supply of softwood carbon, which is necessary to produce safe liquid oxygen-carbon explosives. The fact that they used magnesium as an ingredient lis evidence that safety was ignored.

Cites German Warning

“That is the warning that the Germans have given the world, and that warning served Hitler well at Munich. Both London and Paris knew in September that German planes could dump tons of liquidoxygen bombs onto them in spite of any protection they might have.” Mr. Barlow was asked if he had shown Army and Navy officials his plans for similar bombs. “No,” he said. “I'm in the doghouse there. I would be happy to co-operate with them, but I haven't been given much of a chance for cooperation.” As for Congress, he said he got such a “pounding” last year when he ‘testified before the House Naval Affairs Committee that he has been hesitant to “stick out his neck” again. “But if a committee of Congress invites me,” he said, “I would be glad to testify about these new developments.” Only last week the Senate passed a bill by Senator Frazier (R. N.'D.) for the payment of $592,719 to Mr. Barlow in royalities on aerial bombs built by the Army and Navy in 191819 from six Barlow patents. The U. S. Court of Claims had ruled that he was entitled to that amount plus about $100,000 in interest, but a Senate committee lopped off the interest. The bill is now awaiting House committee action. Mr. Barlow has been working on oxygen bombs in the last year. An explosive known as:L. O. X. already is available in this country, he said, and it is “comparatively safe to handle.” Explains New Type

“L. 0. X.” he explained, “is a

invention of George B. Holdrer of New York City, the foremost authority: on: liquid-oxygen explosives. He is now collaborating with: me in the development of liquid oxygencarbon aerial bombs; some of which will weigh 4000 pounds each.” This * powerful * explosive is not suitable for use in guns, he said, because of the high temperature it generates when detonating. “The temperature,” he said, “is over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. L. 0. X. detonates at over 5000 meters a second. It has an explosive pressure ‘of more than 500,000 pounds to the square inch. “L. O. X. could be produced in this country in wartime for 5 cents a pound, whereas TNT would cost from 40 to 50 cents in time of war because of the scarcity of materials.” : " : Mr. Barlow has had a colorful career. He was born in Iowa 52 years ago, served four years in the Navy as a radio man, and later, while representing an American firm in Mexico, entered the service of Pancho Villa, for whom he manufactured bombs. Later on he developed many bombing innovations which our Army and Navy adopted, and en tered upon a long series of controversies with those services and wi congressional committees.

‘Father of Air Bombing’

“I am undoubtedly, I might say, the father of the airbomb program,” he. told a Senate committee last year. “I probably produced and dropped bombs before any other

man on earth.” Liquid oxygen-carbon bombs could be used against naval vessels as well as against cities, said Mr. Barlow, who has a low opinion of battleships. “A 3000 or 4000-pound L. O. X. bomb could be released from an altitude of 25,000 feet and placed where desired by the bombing crew. Such a bomb would .be set to detonate at the choice of the bombers —at 10 feet above ‘the sea, or on contact with an object. or at 50, 70 or 100 feet below the surface of the sea. “If it detonated above the zurface and within 200 feet of any naval ship, even a battleship, the personnel of the ship would be put out of action, many of ‘them killed. “If the bomb struck the ship it would cause great destruction of the ship structure and kill the crew. “If it detonated 50 to 100 feet below the surface, and near the ship, the ship would be destroyed and more than 100,000 square feet of the sea surface would be blown out.”
