Radar for civilian .planes has been a long time coming, but the army air force researchers here now have;developed a set’ small enough and light enough to be. used commercially, : Army fliers throughout the war relied on radar to guide them through and around storms and to give them an accurate picture of the land below and ahead of their course. But A. A. F. radar has been too big and too cumbersome for civilian craft. Consider ‘these figures: ; Ak the start of world war II, the standard radar used by the army air forces weighed 461 pounds and occupied 34 cubic feet. There is no place on a eivilian air liner for such a set. Al material command scientists have reduced the size of that same search radar to a nine cubic foob unit, weighing 125 pounds.

Mechanical Weatherman BRIG. GEN. TOM C. RIVES, chief of the electronic subdivision at Wright field, calls the new radar, technically known as AN/APS-10 or “Aps-10," “the simplest and most versatile radar yet devised for use by the army air forces.” : control dials—fewer gadgets than vou find you in the average automobile—enable the pilot: to navigate with AN/APS-10 without a regular navigator and without any reference to other-naviga-tiona} instruments. ' +Bgually important is the use of “Ape-10” in predicting weather conditions,

t A : * ti I'VE DONE my best to conform to the carefully promoted atomic bomb hysteria, but I just cannot make the grade. I have been reading a series of startling, eleetrifying descriptions of the unbelievable destruction of German’ cities, Bérlin, for instance, is the most eaompletely demolished city of this war—a capital of a nation without cities. Airpower destroyed Berlin and the other German cities—commeon, ordinary, massed airpower composed of thousands of big bombers and fighters. Berlin is dead and if the Germans want another Berlin it frankly is conceded that it would be cheaper to build a new city rather than try to rebuild the old. Bombs—thousands of bombs—dropped from the skies by an air force that had completely swept the defendIng air force from the heavens before undertaking the systematic leveling of the city. Now, as a direct chal95 lenge to all this atomic bomb hysteria, Berlin is dead . . w=killed by ordinary bombs. What could the atomic bomb have done to Berlin that the ordinary bombs didn’t do? That's the queseee ——————————— tion to ask yourself to stem the panicky nonsense about the atomic bomb. There are other cities in Japan that were destroyed by ordinary bombs just as J badly as Hiroshima. In fact, Hiroshima was a wreck . before the first atomic bomb was dropped.

Situation in Nutshell

THE ONLY THING the atomic bomb promises to be able to do is more damage to a city.with fewer bs, That's the whole situation in a nutshell. The bomb to me is only a new explosive which can be ‘used more safely as the explosive charge in a robomb. | « Our bombers flew into Germany and over Japan in the face of fierce fighter defense forces.

Indian War Bonnet

THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM now ha$ a bona fide Indian war bonnet, complete with feathers, ermine tails, horse hair and seven human scalps. The bonnet, so long that it sweeps the floor-even when a full-sized man wears it, was presented to the museum- by James R. Chase, president of the board of trustees, and will go on display soon. Mr. Chase's aunt, Mrs, Will Carter, gave it to him. The bonnet was presented to her husband by an Indian chief, Washikie, of the Shoshoue reservation near Yellow-

stone park, ‘back in 1883. The seven scalps came] §

from Sioux Indians and represented Washikie's cut from one of the tribes’ skirmishes. The museum piece, expected to make quite a hit with the male element of the museum, was’ being tried on yesterday by Charles Wells, Technical high school student who's a member of the student council of the mus seum . ., . A" lot of red and white cigaret holders plugging station WMAQ, Chicago, popped up over town yesterday after Matty Brescia, former WAC recruiting officer stationed here, made a return visit.

But much: of the work these days is concentrated on new theories and devices connected with radar, radio, electronics and the high speed wars that may or may not come in the future. Recent advances in plane designs and development of rockets and jet driven missiles call for drastic changes in radar and radio systems. However, the army isn't concentrating all its efforts on defense. It has a few jet propelled and similar high-speed remote controlled bombs of its own that it is working on. A pumber of the new theories and devices which have been originated here will get their initial peacetime tests during the atomic bomb experiments at Bikini atoll this summer.

few were lost but we had many and kept on sending more. As we know it today, the atomic bomb is by no means a safegadget to be flown in formation over no means a safe gadget to be flown in formation over fighters aloft.. Atomic energy is an ideal explosive for a robomb.

Pilotless Robombs Seen

WHY ALL THE EXCITEMENT? Ordinary air-| power has demonstrated its ability to kill cities and| nations. With that fact settled, what more is there to fear that we must live in a continual emotional uproar about atomic bombs? In the next war—the first of the true wars between hemispheres—we will be attacked for the simple reason that we are the wealthiest nation in the world and about thé only real prize worth attacking. Pilotless robombs undoubtedly will be launched against us. Some will arrive and land and others will fail to get here. That's the history of machinery. Those that land here will bash us up a bit. But there are a lot of open land spaces between our cities. The business of accurately guiding a robomb thousands of miles across oceans of Arctic wastes to hit specific targets is still a hazy dream. Someday it may be possible—but only maybe. Right now what we've got to think about is the type of air war machinery which can do a first rate and efficient job of killing people, cities and nations. American airpower today is only a skeleton of its robust strength of a year ago. And to wrap those bones with meat and muscles would take at least two full years of frantic preparation, As of today our| country is vulnerable and virtually defenseless in| the air. What are we going to do about that? That! is something into which you can sink your teeth.

By Eleanor Roosevelt

There is also one obligation, I think, which is| upon the government and the public as regards employees in any industry where, for the public good, a strike should not occur if it is possible to avoid it. This obligation is to see that conditions in that industry are promptly investigated as soon as any complaint is made; that the facts are made known and any injustices rectified.

In southern Indiana, some of the most colorful] Rogation services are being held at St. Meinrad’'s abbey. Tomorrow, as yesterday and today, parishioners of the abbey church wil] leave the church at 6:30 a. m., marching in procession. They will chant the litany and recite the Rosary all the way to the chapel on Monte Casino. About 150 schoolchildren lead the procession, The Rt. Rev. Ignatius Esser, O. S.

Monks and seminarians of the abbey, forming a procession of more than 600, marched from the church

Young women, who are students at St. Mary-of-the Woods college, arise early to attend the 6:20 a. m. services on the grounds and in the church on Rogation days. About 60 sandaled Franciscan friars of Holy Family monastery, Oldenburg, Ind, are carrying out the full liturgical rites of blessing the fields and crops. The ceremonies, twice as ancient as the seven centuries-old Franciscan order, are celebrated with great solemnity. The friars are joined in the services by a large number of Holy Family parishoners and school children.

Labor Report Lewis Is Asking Time To End Strike

By FRED W. PERKINS : WASHINGTON, May 28.—~John L. Lewis has told some senators that the coal strike will be ended within

48 hours. These senators refused to allow their names to be used. But subsequent developmerits in the senate strongly supported the report that Mr. Lewis confidently had made the prediction and had asked only that he be given that much time to ‘bring the strike to an end. There was considerable evidence that some senators were striving to get Mr. Lewis the delay he pequested. The play for time was ulustrated when Senator Murray (D. Mont.), chairman of the senate labor committee, attempted to adjourn the senate in the absence of the ‘majority leader, Senator Barkley (D. Ky). » . ” MR. BARKLEY was incensed by
