Aircraft could be launched from

many points In a large area. Hundreds of launching sites would independently send off aircraft sensitive to a single line of position. It would only be necessary to have the control system in opera- - tion. ‘These aircraft would follow their independent courses, perhaps for half the distance to the target, until they came within the zone of ‘influence of the loran or hyperbolic lines. .Each would then change its course and come about to ride the

The effect would be that of raindrops falling into a gigantic funnel and being concentrated into a steady stream playing the target. Would Obliterate Target

“Such a stream of bombs would, of course, rapidly obliterate any objective,” Dr. Pierce explains. “In practice, therefore, the ground station operators would steadily alter their timing constants so the line followed by the projectiles would be caused to sweep back and forth over the target area, while the constants of the release line would be altered, perhaps in steps, to provide the requisite variations in range.” “The stream could be played back and forth across the target area like the stream of a fire hose, or more exactly, like the stream of electrons scanning a television screen. “All this control could be exercised without any co-o tion from the launching crews. “Like the loaders on a battleship, they simply would maintain the flow of projectiles without giving thought to their destination.”

Poets ‘Blush Research’ Bars

Him From Church Memorial

BURY ST. EDMUNDS, Suffolk, May 30 (U. P.).—A parish church today refused to authorize a memorial tablet for Britain's 19th sentury sculptor and poet, Thomas Woolner, because Charles Darwin asked him to undertake research into how far below a maiden's neckline a blush extended. The parochial church council observed that Mr, Darwin, the famous naturalist and author of “Origin of the Species,” wrote Mr. Woolner and requested him to persuade “some trustworthy young man to

observe young and {inexperienced girls who serve as models and who at first blush much, to determine how far the blush extends.” : Mr. Darwin said he had the word of a French artist that some models “blush all over,” but he wanted the opinion of “cautious and careful English artists.” - The council did .not say whether Mr, Woolner undertook the research, {but it decided that a man who was asked to “do things like that is not suitable to be commemorated in a church tablet.”

now atomic power plants will be giving industrial power, Before they can be designed and built, he says, “military minds must be convinced that’ atomic energy means something more than an atomic bomb.” An atomic power plant, Dr. Katzin' says, might not look very different from steam-electric plants. Indeed, it might ever be a present-day plant so far as generators and turbines are concerned. Only the coal |or oil-burning boilers would be replaced by an atomic pile, thickly shielded in steel or concrete, heat from which would get up steam.

WASHINGTON, May 30.—Into

is likely to be laid the whole probe lem of biological or germ warfare in addition to the explosive question of the atomic bomb. Whether the “dew of death” problem will figure in the early sessions of the commission when it meets June 14 is not known. But since it is to advise the security council on all scientific problems of a mille tary nature, biological warfare will at least always hover in the backe ground. The commission is the UN body that will be most concerned internationally with scientific matters thas can be used as weapbns, whereas UNESCO, as the organization for scientific as well as educational and cultural matters, will be largely concerned with non-secret and mostly peacefully scientific matters,
