‘Mrs. Luce Warns Against Atomic Surprise.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (U, P.) Rep, Clara Booth Luce (R. Conn.) has recommended that the United States begin now “to go underground” to protect itself against possible surprise atomic bomb attacks in the future. This is the only possible effective safeguard against sneak atomic bombardment, she told the house. The results of the atomic bombing of Hiroshomi have demonstrated, she said, that 100 similar missiles dropped on our key industrial cities could result in millions of casualties and “all but obliterate the industrial capacity” of the nation. E She argued that no international

BELL CO. ADDS T0 DIAL UNITS
Market-Franklin Numbers To Be Affected.
Finishing touches are being put on new apparatus in the MarketFranklin dial units in the Indiana Bell Telephone Co. headquarters building here, the company said today. The largest addition to the equ ipment in a Bell central office since pre-war days is practically complete, the firm said. The new equipment will enable the office to handle calls for some 27000 additional main line telephenes in the central part of the city as soon as the necessary telephone sets are available.
Equipment Intricate
The manufacture of telephone central office equipment, now resumed on a large scale, will eventually overcome the most difficult obstacle in the way of furnishing telephone service for those on waiting lists, the company said. More than two-thirds of the 16,600 applications for service in Indianapolis are affected by this shortage as well as by the lack of telephone sets, the local office said. “Equipment of this kind,” Vance Oathout, chief engineer for the Indiana Bell, said “is very intricate and must be designed especially to fit the needs of the particular community it serves. Much more time is required for its manufacture and installation than is needed in the production of telephone sets. Our plans were made well in advance and this installation has been in progress all summer.”
Other Projects
A part of the new equipment will be used for some telephones now having Belmont, Lincoln and Riley prefixes, the company said. The change will be made prior to the issuance of the new directory this fall. The project is one of several now in progress to increase central office capacity here, Mr. Oathout said.

STORY OF SUB'S DARING IS TOLD
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (U. P). -—The navy has released the details of a dramatic rescue of an army pilot while he was being strafed by Japanese pilots in Tokyo bay shortly before the end of the war. The army flier, Capt. Edward H. Mikes, Berwyn, Ill, parachuted into Tokyo bay when his fighter plane was crippled on Aug. 3. He was rescued by the U. 8. submarine Aspro which, aided by several American planes, drove off
attacking Japanese Zeros and bomb-carrying seaplanes: After landing in the water,
Mikes was dropped a wooden motor boat by two American planes. He had hardly started his motor when four Zeros strafed him. He escaped with a grazed wrist as they enemy planes were driven off by navy privateer pilots. Forced to Dive Twice Meanwhile, the Aspro, under Cmdr. James H. Ashley, Melbourne, Fla., steamed full speed into Tokyo bay although it was broad daylight. The sub came inte the bay and up close to Mikes but as he was pulling alongside a Japanese float plarie came in for a bombing run and the Aspro was forced to dive. The Japanese dropped two bombs which landed about 75 feet from the spot where the Aspro had submerged. “I never expected to see the sup again,” Mikes said afterwards. “Then suddenly a pair of B-24

No Fortune Needed #o Buy U. S. Surplus, Business Told
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—The small businessman who wishes to handle surplus war goods doesn’t need to invest a fortune to stock up, the department of Sommerce, disposal agency for consumers goods, had
this—individuals (except for vetAnd the goods which veterans buy may not be re-sold. So confused has the surplus property picture been that many small dealers, it was said, still do not realize they may purchase goods In small quantities. Some do not know where the goods may be bought. Lots Are Small Lots are as small as possible, it was explained, to prevent anyone's getting a corner on surplus items of any type. As for how small— that’s according to what the item happens to be and whether, as a buyer, youre a wholesaler or a retailer, Suppqse, for example, you operate a small store You decide you'd like to lay in some cotton duck. (The commerce department now has for sale through its 11 regional offices hundreds of thousands of yards of this formerly scarce item.) In some sizes you may buy only six yards, It'll cost you $1.25 a yard. The same goes for raincoats. Retailers may buy as few as 50, while chain stores and wholesalers must purchase not fewer than 500. In each case, the coats will be sold to consumers at OPA price ceilings. Some Move Rapidly With certain low-priced items which seem to the department certain to move rapidly, the individual lots may include several hundred items. Such is the case with hardwood stools. Even a retailer may purchase no fewer than 800, at 75 cents apiece. The wholesaler will buy stools at 55 cents. The commerce department now has a half-billion dollars’ worth of consumers goods to sell at fixed prices. But consumers must buy at re-sale from regular dealers. (This is contrary to a story published earlier which indicated that individuals could buy a few items direct from the government.)

U. S. WARNS OF
Finds Manufacturers Cashing in on Magic Name.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (U. P). —The government is preparing to crack down on manufacturers who are cashing in on the magic name of D. D. T. with so-called “D. D. T. insecticides” that are really of little or no value as bug-killers The agriculture department, it was learned today, soon will open the nation-wide drive by issuing complaints against firms and individuals suspected of violating the insecticide act of 1910, Five Per Cent Required Convictions under the act carry a fine of $100 for the first offense. Subsequent offenses are subject to a penalty of $200 and one year’s imprisonment. Government scientists emphasized that D. D. T. actually is as potent as its reputation indicates. But the trouble with many *D. D. T.” products now on the market, they said, is that they have as little as 1/100 of 1 per cent D, D. T. Most effective solutions, the agriculture department said, contain at least 5 per cent.
