HEAVIER TANK ARMOR IS SEEN

British Official Says More Protection Would Solve Problem.

By Science Service TORONTO, Canada, Oct, 4Slower but tougher tanks with thick armor plates that have been cast and” welded will probably be the future trend if the lumbering giants are to retain their place in modern warfare, This development was forecast by L. E. Carr, technical director of the British ministry of supply mission, Washington, D. C, in a report to the meeting here of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Engineering Institute of Canada, ‘“If the tank is to survive as a weapon of war,” he said, “there is no doubt whatever that such survival will rest primarily on its ability to withstand punishment rather than high speed performance.” Mr. Carr, who has been associated with tank development for 25 years, urged that plans should be made for using castings in future tank design to assure rapid production and to facilitate design changes {found necessary after battle experience,

The blaze first awakened Robert Leavitt, 11 years old, at about 4 a. m. Robert awakened his nine-year-old brother, Hershel, with whom he was sleeping in a room on the second floor, and the boys crawled out on the porch roof and dropped to the ground. They pounded on the front door,
