Soe i In Jerusalem oings Extremists Threaten Death for Reprisal JERUSALEM, Dec. 30 (U. P).— British troops and police in a house-to-house search of the Lydda dis-

trict today arrested & number of Jews suspected in the kidnap-flog-

| ging of four British soldiers yes-

jerday.

Pamphlets distributed in the

pame of the Irgun Zval Leumi

underground organization said

| death would be the retaliation

henceforth for flogging of Jews. The attacks on the British soldiers yesterday were in reprisal for such a sentence by a military court. Despite the troubled situation, the British command today confirmed ‘the sentencing of another Jewish youth to 12 lashes with a cane. Verdict Confirmed

The Irgun warning of the “death sentence” in retaliation for any more lashings of Jewish prisoners was assumed to be an effort to head off the sentence confirmed today. Gen. Sir Evelyn Barker, British commander in Palestine, announced the confirmation of a military court's verdict that Aaron Cohen, 17, be lashed for carrying pamphlet bombs last month. Three months imprisonment to which Cohen also had been sentenced was suspended. One of Sunday's kidnap flogging victims, Maj. Brett of the British 6th airborne division, reported that the men who beat him said he was “only the first of the officers who will be flogged in the future.” An authoritative source said that four Jews—captured while trying to run a road block last night in a car containing two whips—had not participated in Sunday's floggings Police believed, nevertheless, that the four were planning to whip somebody when caught. In their car were two five-foot whips, a machine gun, revolvers, hand grenades and ammunition. One of the four Jews was reported in critical condition from a bullet wound inflicted by British soldiers who captured them near Lydda. Struck 20 Times The four British were seized and flogged Sunday by extremists, apparently from Irgun Zvai Leumi. The floggings were in revenge for the 18 cane strokes inflicted by court order Saturday on an Irgunist convicted of raiding the Ottoman bank Sept. 13. The Irgunist, Benjamin Kimchi, also was sentenced to 18 years’ imprisonment. Irgun had warned they would retaliate if the caning was cArried out. They struck back within 24 hours. Maj. Brett was abducted from the Metropole hotel in Nathanya while he sat in the bar with his wife. She was not molested. He was driven six miles into the country, stripped, flogged and then allowed to return to his base in his underwear. Mr. Brett said the floggers struck him 20 times. They said they were giving him “two extra”—an obvious reference to the 18 strokes given Kimchi. Two British sergeants were seized as they left a Tel Aviv hotel, tied to trees in a public park and flogged 18 times each. Extremist guards posted at park entrances kept away the curious with pistols. Then the floggers fled. A fourth British soldier was

south of Tel Aviv.

Airline Radar Probe Urged

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (U. P.).— An investigation of delays in adapting radar flying aids to commercial aviation was urged today in the wake of the costly constellation crash near Shannon airport, Ireland. Surviving crew members of the Transcontinental and Western airplane reported it suffered no apparent mechanical trouble before

plunging through low-hanging clouds into a boggy river Fergus isle last Saturday.

This and other information led government and airline authorities here to believe that the crash, which killed 12 persons, probably was the result of bad weather with an added possibility of some pilot error, Whether they are right will develop in an official investigation due to begin at Shannon today. Robert B. Sibley, New England area governor of the Aviation Writers Assn, meanwhile proposed a civil aeronautics board inquiry to determine why radar devices used in bad weather by the military services have not been applied to civil aviation. The CAB should investigate why the civil aeronautics administration “Insists on ‘experimenting’ belatedly” with radar when it already is ready for routine use, Mr, Sibley, aviation editor of the Boston Traveler, said in a letter to CAB chairman James M. Landis. The CAA carries out safety regulations framed by the CAB and must approve flying aids before they are used by airlines. Mr. Sibley’s letter apparently was written before the T.W.A. crash. Bus radar exponerits regarded the ocident—on the basis of facts now avallable—as further evidence of the need for the proposed inquiry.

eteran Dies at 101

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 30 (U. P.). A fractured hip suffered in a fall month ago resulted today in the death of Oliver M. Haney, 101, last member of the local Grand Army of the Republic post, Mr. Haney |, enlisted in the Union army Feb. 22, 1864, with the 2d Pennsylvania he artillery company.

Four more deputies were appointed today by Prosecutor-elect Judson L. Stark who will take oath of office at cerémonies in the court house Wednesday morning. Edwin K. Steers, who served as " deputy prosecutor under Sherwood Blue six years except for two years he spent as an officer in the navy, was appointed to the criminal court staff of the prosecutor's office, i A graduate of Indiana law Edwin K. Steers. ool, Mr. Steers has practiced law here since 1937. During the war he served as officer aboard a PT boat and participated in the Normandy invasion.

Scientist: ‘Ice

CHICAGO, Dec. 30 (U. P)— Cold? Andrew C. Lawson, professor

emeritus of geology at the University of California, said the world

{is due to be covered with ice again.

It may not make any difference, however. It will probably take 200,000 years, and there may be no one here to see it.

Pilots Safely ‘Shot’ From Plane

Leave Cockpit At 60 Feet Per Second

By Science Service

BOSTON, Dec. 30.—Two living men have already been safely shot from a P-61 airplane flying at approximately 300 miles per hour. This has been done in tests of the army’s ejector for enabling pilots to clear jet aircraft in emergencies. The feat was revealed by Dr. Henry M. Sweeney, chief of the biophysics branch of the aero

at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science here today. 60 Ft. Per Second A pilot must leave the cockpit at a velocity of approximately 60 feet per second to clear the tail of our aircraft at full speed. Information gained shortly after V-E day on German methods of ejecting men from jet aircraft could not be applied completely. Our aircraft had a central vertical stabilizer on the tail, rather than a split tail, and traveled at a greater speed. Rocket power and compressed air

force. But powder charges were finally selected because of smaller weight and less area of vulernability to enemy gunfire. Force Reduced The gun now in use is three feet in tube length but develops a five-foot stroke by its: telescopic action. Arm rests on the pilot's seat are used to reduce the force applied to the lower part of the spine resulting from the acceleration during ejection. The seat cushion is reduced to a minimum and the pilot must assume proper posture for safe ejection. The tests Dr. Sweeney reported showed that under these conditions a 45-foot per second velocity charge developing from about 12 G on the seat to as high as 30 G on the hip can be ridden safely for very brief periods.

World—In 200,000 Years'

Prof. Lawson said in an address over the week-end that the world was “only temporarily” basking in the sunshine of a period between glacial ages that couldn't last forever. “I believe the ice is going to come he said. “When or how

but it won't be very long, geologically speaking. “Actually, all the ice from the last glacial period isn’t gone yet. In the far north there are several large glacial deposits, and they might start growing very gradually almost any century.” Four times in the history of the earth, ice has crept down over most of the planet, wiping out all life in its path, then retreating to the poles, leaving behind great bodies of water from which land masses gradually emerged. Plant and animal life flourished again, but new animals become dominant. “I see no reason why we should expect the pattern to change,” Prof. Lawson said.

Scientists Fear Major ‘Quake’

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30 (U, P.). —The Pacific coast “earthquake belt” has been abnormally quiet during the last five to six years. Seismologists and geologists fear a major quake may be in the offing. Frapklin P, Ulrich, chief of the seismological field survey of the coast and geodetic survey, points out there has not been a major quake in this region since 1940. In that year nine persons died and $6 million damage was caused in Imperial valley, near El Centro, Cal. Mr. Ulrich will not predict that a major quake will strike anywhere or any time. Statistics show, however, that major quakes have occurred along the west coast at frequent and almost regular intervals. Mr, Ulrich sald this ought tobe enough to make even the layman “suspicious” of the “abnormally quiet” in the past few years.

'Scripps-Howard Writer's ‘Report Is Confirmed

Times Special TOKYO, Dec. 30—A dispatch by a Scripps - Howard correspondent William Newton that the Japanese discovered uranium deposits in Manchuria during the war was confirmed today by officials of the natural resources section of allied supreme héadquarters here. The deposits are in the Haicheng area, 150 miles northwest of Port Arthur. This region is now under military control of ‘the Russians. So far, American experts have been unable to learn how extensively the deposits were worked in the war, but they believe a considerable quantity of the mineral was brought to Japan for experimental purposes.
