TWENTY-FOUR BALES OF HAY ain't hay to Jug around, according to some members of the police department. Lloyd Montgomery, of 1537 Sheldon st., found 24 bales as he was driving near Valley ave. and Ludlow st, the other day. He took it to a feed shop nearby, thinking it might have dropped from their truck, but the shop said it didn’t belong there. He couldn't think of anything else to do with the bulky find, .so he called police. They likewise were

~ stymied, especially since his find was a little too

big to take to the police property room—where most objects are held. They finally hit on an idea. The hay was lugged to the city garage on Shelby st. to be held until someone claims it. . . .

Air Security

rem of two dispatches)

WASHINGTON, June 17.—America is seriously stalled in the development of supersonic weapons— planes and remotely controlled missiles that travel faster than sound. According to aviation and military experts, the U. S. is in danger of lagging behind foreign countries and hasn't vet caught up with the progress Germany had made at the end of the war. These experts agree development of these weapons is the key to the future security of the United States. Any army air force man will tell you that supersonic weapons have made America's mighty world war II air armada completely obsolete. They admit that air warfare as they knew it in

' the skies above Germany and Japan is a thing of

the past. Warfare of the future is now believed to be simply a matter of who can get there first with the most atomic bombs. Scientists claim it is only a question of time until

“ether major countries have an atomic bomb. So the

question is simplified to one element—speed. And that speed, the same scientists declare, will be supersonic speed.

Old Laws Go by Board

SOMETHING STRANGE happens to a missile when it gets moving faster than sound, researchers have discovered. They know that all of a sudden, for no fully explained reason, resistance suddenly gets less. At this speed all the old laws of resistance no longer seem to apply. Developing wing surfaces which would give a plane “lift” was one of the big problems in the early days of flying. Research and study aver a period of vears hoiled down all the results to certain basic laws which now govern aircraft design. But these laws apply only to subsonic speeds, it

Science

EN ROUTE TO BIKINI, June 17.—An understanding of the Bikini atomic bomb tests requires an understanding of what the tests are designed to do and what they are not intended to do. As Vice Adm. W. H. P. Blandy, commanding officer of Operation Crossroads, has pointed out, it was early recognized that one test could not be set up which at one and the same time would do the following three things: ONE: Simulate war conditions. TWO: Provide the data which scientists desire. THREE: Provide the data which are needed by the army and navy in planning for the future along sound and economical lines. The tests, accordingly, were designed to concentrate on finding the answers to the third objective. It is obvious that at the same time, a large part of the second objective will be accomplished. But in order to do this much, all attempts at the

first objective, namely the simulation of war condi-

tions, had to be abandoned. It is important for the public to keep this in mind. Any hasty conclusion drawn .on the basis of the first announcement of the Bikini tests will be unJustified.

Misinterpretation Feared THE TESTS should not be regarded as a contest between the bomb and the battleship or between the airplane capable of dropping the bomb and the battleship. Although some high-ranking navy officers as early as last February expressed the fear that a large segment of the public would interpret the tests to mean that the navy is now obsolete, an even larger

My Day

HYDE PARK, (Sunday) -— Bernard M. Baruchs speech on atomic control seems to me a very moving appeal to the governments of the world to listen to the most ardent desire of the peoples of the world. There is no question in my mind that the people everywhere want peace, and I think Mr. Baruch made it clear that, as far as he is concerned, the preservation of the peace stood above every other consideration. It boils down to this: We have temporarily the know-how and the plants where atopic bombs can be made. Temporarily, also, man has not yet found and may never find a preventive which will neutralize the destructive power of the atomic bomb as a war weapon. Eventually more and more great nations will know what we know. Mr. Baruch faces this fact and acknowledges frankly there is only one thing to do, and that is to wipe out the use of this weapon in war.

Must Submit Secrets to U. N.

TO DO THIS we will have to give up some part of ‘eur national sovereignty, for we will have to submit to inspection and licensing by an atomic energy authority set up under the United Nations. They will be given all of our secrets. They will license the use of material for industrial and therapeutic purposes throughout the world. On the subject of atomic energy everyone of us, _even the big nations, is asked to give up our veto power to insure the safety of every nation.

It seems to me that, without question, we can bet-

ter afford to give up this ‘amount of national sov- | ereignty than we cin afford to live in fear of be our neighbors may be (OIG ;

BETTER ENVIRONMENT CAN MAKE BETTER CITIZENS— Hin

Seek Homes for Needy ( Child

. By KENNETH HUFFORD

DELINQUENCY, poor health and an aimless life are just around the corner for a certain segment of the Juvenile population here. In this group are children whose present environment has been recognized as detrimental to their future welfare. The cases of these children, who for the most part haven't been harmed yet, have been referred to the children’s bureau of the Indianapolis Orphans’ asylum for placement In foster homes. Social workers know from experience that if homes aren't found these children eventually will become liabilities to society, Miss Winifred Miller, a supervisor with the bureau, hopes that about two dozen proper homes can be found immediately for cases in her files. - » » og UNDER THE foster home plan, which the bureau used to place many children during the last few years, maintenance costs of a foster child are paid to the foster parent, including clothes and inci« dental costs. A physician and a dentist are employed part-time by

the bureau to attend these children.

The children range in years from

infancy to about 18, Miss Miller There is a law, disclosed, with the heaviest demand

he says, which forbids depositing any mailable mate- |of foster parents for babies and

rial on which no postage has been paid in a mail

box. He pointed out, however, that if it were illegal to leave keys and little notes in the family post | boxes, half the people in town would have been in jail for violation at one time or another.

That is one of the big reasons they were able to develop the V-2 and make progress with supersonic speeds and why the U. S. isn't even able to catch up. The cost of the necessary equipment to test and | develop supersonic aircraft is tremendous. Huge areas are necessary to test missiles in actual flight © Many trained scientists are needed to work out the bugs as they develop and solve the countless problems which will come up. Too Big for Private Firms THE COST OF such an undertaking is prohibitive for any private company. With the end of the war | the government cut its huge contracts for aircraft | small fractions. Only the government can finance the San of supersonic aircraft. But within the government there is friction over which branch of the war department shall control such a project. A start toward establishing a basic U. S. aviation

research policy is now being made by Senator Hugh B. Mitchell (D. Wash). He has introduced a bill

which would set up an air policy board to study |

all angles of the research question to determine how America can provide facilities adequate for this new era of rapid development. It also would consider size of peacetime air forces, and how to maintain a balanced and expansible aircraft industry, which are vital national security questions. Hearings on this bill are now going on.

Many Questions Involved

THIS INFORMATION will, of course, be exceedingly valuable in deciding the larger questions which involve the whole future development of our armed forces. These questions, which I intend to discuss at, a later date, go far beyond the question of the ability of battleships to endure an atomic bomb attack. It involves the whole question of major war strategy. Suppose, to assume a purely hypothetical finding, it should develop that navies need not fear an attack from atomic bombs. But suppose further that an enemy would immediately use such bombs to destroy a nation's industrial potential. What would be the value of a navy under such circumstances? I am not attempting to ‘answer this question, but merely calling attention to it. To get back to the Bikini tests, all arrangements for it were made with the basic objective of the test in mind. This accounts for the way in which the target ships are being arranged in the lagoon of the Bikini atoll, the way in which the first bomb will be

SO THAT'S what some of her colleagues thought of her —an “apple polisher” —a term of derision no girl with self-respect could take lying down. But what could she do? As far as Sally knew she had done nothing to earn that contempt —that bitter scorn. Something must have happened. But what? 8he had intended asking Norma

In reading the Baruch report, I felt it was a document which took into consideration primarily the feelings and hopes of the masses of the people. When one sees the victory of the old type of isolationism in a state like Nebraska, one wonders how much the people of our country really understand what has happened in the world of science in the past few years. I believe, however, people are isolationists because, they think that is the way to obtain peace; and it is| only through education and presentation of the facts that we can hope they will understand the real situation which confronts the world today. .

All Want Security, Peace

I THINK THIS report will help to clarify the thinking of the mass of people if they read it carefully, and I hope they will. The reaction of the Russians to our recent offer of military collaboration with the Central and South American republics was a perfectly natural one, and they, in turn, will increase their efforts for the same type of collaboration wherever their interests lie. * Yet increase in power is valueless if it brings war —for all that we do, all that Great Britain does, and all that the U. 8. 8. R. does has at its roots the desire for security and peace. I happen to believe that only the strength of the United Natichs can bring us this freedom from fear. I hope all of us will see clearly enough the value of ‘this first move to give the knowledge about this most important weapon only to a United Nations body, ‘and to give them also the power to control for the benefit of mankind the knowledge “Wisin the scientists Rave given us. ot

Returning G.l.'s Find Country in Chaotic State

“A CONSIDERABLE number of returning servicemen who might otherwise have made a good adjustment to civilian life are being thrown into & neurotic state as a result of finding the country they defended in a chaotic condition,” says the president of the American Psychiatric assn,, Dr. Carl M. Bowman, Dr. Bowman points out that the men having the hardest time are those with wives and children to care for. And no wonder. Take a look at Jim, out of the army a few months, and still unable to solve these prob lems: ”
