_ WASHINGTON, aly 10--¥olks up wn the suoum, if there are any, soon may be worrying about fying * discs sent up from the earth. Dr. PF. Zwicky, professor of astrophysics at Call-

« fornia Institute. of Technology, mriting in the July-

August issue of magazine, says that day , 1a not far off, In a precise, scientific way, Dr, Zwicky

‘ mys “we stafid at the. beginning of a new era of

scientific experimentation.” Dr. Zwicky says we'll not only make life miserable for moon men, but there's g good chance we'll be able to disturb the privacy of thousands of rather timid stars which have hid their light for centuries. He says were closer than we know to bombarding Jupiter, Until now, Dr. Zwicky says, earth men have been “doomed to the role of blind men.” Interfering atmd8phere, he says, prevents our seeing most of the ‘celestial objects, For instance, he says, we know there are “many very hot stars with surface temperatures in excess of 100,000 degrees Kelvin,” That would be 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit. We've never been able to see them, however. Dr.

' Zwicky explains “these stars emit very little visual

light” but may actually, turn out to be “the brightest objects in the sky” once we get a look. By shooting rocket-borne telescopes and cameras up their way, he says, we'll be able to break through that celestial iron curtain and achieve very novel results.” «o.oo

~ Will Launch Missiles From Rockets DR. ZWICKY says ‘we'll do it in this fashion: First, we'll shoot off large primary rockets, like the V-2's being tested in New Mexico, These already carry scientific instruments to great heights, The

v.mext. step, he says, will be to launch missiles from the

rockets after they start slowing down. This can be

WASHINGTON, July 10.—Every time I prove to myself that the business boom is solid enough for me to make a killing in the stock market, sions comes somebody. Like Walter 8. Tower, Then I put my get-rich-quick scheme on ice. “Tain't going to last,” says Prof, Tower, in language far more precise and dignified. He means in the steel industry, upon which many other businesses depend. And he ought to know; he is president of the American Iron and Steel institute. The senate small business committee called him in to see what he thinks about the boom, which has

production. Some in desperation are paying shadowy characters up fo $300 a ton for metal worth $80, others are “closing their plants, and scores -are telling their

.- troubles to the senators.

Strictly’ temporary, said the distinguished steel master, a one-time college professor who has been 25 years in the blast furnace business. Tall, spare, craggy-jawed and with eye-brows jutting over the tops of his rimless spectacles, he made an erudite witness. He cooled the senate caucus room (and my speculative fever) considerably. He even calmed down a senator or two. dialogue went like this:

The

Shortages Are Evaporating THE STEEL industry today is producing at the

' rate of 85,000,000 tons a year (Mr, Tower said), or 20

million tons more than in the best previous peacetime year of 1929. This cannot last, he added. Then, demanded Senator Allen J. Ellender of Louisiana, how much longer? “Nine months ago,” said Mr. Tower, “we were all led to believe that the shortage of automobile tires would last until the end of this year, if not longer. (He cleared his throat) I don’t know of any tire shortage today.” Senator Ellender, Senator Zales N. Ecton of Mon~

Home or Utopia?

For instance, there is a new-fangled home bar, complete with an oak-paneled back-bar, comfortable stools—and a juke box.

HOLLYWOOD, July 10.—Hollywood has been accused of having no new ideas, It isn't so. Hollywood has lots of new ideas, lots of talent, lots of progressive thinking and creative inspiration. So today I come to the defense of that side of Hollywood's film business—the production department. Let's take an idea and follow it through the fundamental steps up to where production starts, One of our many talented writers gets an idea for § story. He even pictures certain stars playing the roles, But the main reason the idea sticks in his mind is that it's a new a It isn’t the old beaten and tired routine: of the boy kicking the girl in the shins by accident at a football game, then falling in love with her, Then

Just Check Back

IF YOU think that sounds silly, check back and you'll find it is the plot of many movies you have seen. But our writer has a new idea—something different. So he takes it to the story editor at the " studio. \ The story editor has a soul. He likes the idea. He takes it to a producer. The producer likes it. Then it goes through the hopper around the studio until the master minds decide they'd like to do the picture. It's the next step that throws the monkey wrench into™the machinery.

Dr, Zwicky likes No. 3 best, 5 sara 1 “acovides the first practical realization of the ancient dream of sending missiles away from the earth.” “These missiles, at the beginning, will be very small” he concedes, “but much information can be gained from them.”

Learn From Artificial Meteors

FOR INSTANCE, he says they will give us addi tional information about supersonic and hypersonic aero-dynamics, the physical and chemical characteristics of the atmosphere, and the makeup of inter.

Dr, Zwicky calls these particles “artificial meteors.” He says they will be able to circle the earth and other planets. Since they will operate in a vacuum beyond the earth's atmosphere, he predicts swarms of flying particles released from the earth will “act much as a unit body or meteor.” “Some,” he writes, “may even escape permanently from the earth's gravitational field. If the particles can be made large enough, their collisions, that fis, the resulting flashes of their landings on the moon, on Jupiter and other planetary bodies are conceivably observable with present day telescopic equipment.” This, he says, “will provide a method of exploring the moon's surface.” With large enough particles, he says we can do iV just about anywhere in the planet system, . Dr, Zwicky says it isn’t just theory. He says plans are being pursued “vigorously.” “In particular,” he writes, “experiments with artificial meteors will be repeated since important results may be expected and since these meteors bid fair to become the first man-made missiles to escape from the earth into interplanetary space.”

tana and committee counsel Ray Dickey wanted a better answer than that. Mr, Tower said if they insisted upon his personal opinion, he'd be delighted. He said already there was no particular shortage of| electric refrigerators, deep-freeze, units, washing ma-/

. chines and similar steel products.

“And I cannot foresee demand for steel lasting, indefinitely as of now,” he said. Senator Ellender wondered what he meant by “indefinitely.” - Mr. Tower said he meant that by New, Year's he believed the steel industry would be loafing along at less than 90 per cent of capacity and meet: ing all orders.

Who Remembers Free Enterprise?

EVEN SO, said Senator Ellender, that isn't a bad | prospect for American free enterprise. “Free enterprise,” exclaimed Mr, Tower. “Well, d suppose there are those who can remember the days) of free enterprise in this country. That arousd the gentleman from Louisiana. He said he doubted if industry was suffering today; in fact, he said, it is making more money than ever before, “I do not believe the record will support that Matement,” replied Mr. Tower, gazing at him levelly. The boss steel maker, representing 109 companies, went on to say that export sales don't amount to much, He said the so-called gray market is unimportant. He reported that the auto factories seem to be gobbling up more sheet steel than comes out in the form of automobiles. And ‘he said he had a parable to answer a question about duplicate orders. “The president of one of our steel companies wanted an electric toaster,” Mr. Tower said. “He told me that he placed five separate orders for a toaster. I asked him what he would do if he got delivery on all five. He said he would worry about that when it happened.” Tower's idea was that many a buyer of steel had better start worrying soon before he is deluged with it. And I guess I'll hang onto my E-bond.

They have to have money. It takes money to make movies. Money comes from banks and banks are run by bankers whose continued heartbeats depend on profits from their investmen bankers know very little “about making pcares] ey seldom have a story sense, But they do re at the same old thing has been making the same old profits, When the studios walk in with our test brainstorm, the banker throws his hands in the air, starts reading ‘balance sheets upside down and backwards and says “No.”

Wants Same Old Thing

HE KEEPS on saying no as long as they talk in terms of something different. He wants the same old thing with the same old profits. You can’t encourage the development of new ideas when the man with the money won't allow you to make the inspiration into a reality, Bankers won't take chances. They say, “If we’ can make a million dollars with 4 movie showing Van Johnson eating breakfast, then make a picture with Van Johnson eating breakfast. What do you want to go artistic for?” ". There it 1s. Once in a while you may find a touch of something new and different on the screen. But for the most part you're going to get just what the bankers know will reap a profit at the boxoffice.
