of the project is to be shared by
Italy and Switzerland, but no date
for construction has been set. One

WASHINGTON, (/P) — The air
force will begin Arctic tests of ra
dio-controlled bombs and V-l fly

month.
i It announced Friday that tests
! at Ladd Air base will involve use
i cf the 12,000-pound “Tarzon,J> the

American model of the buzz bomb
used by the Germans against Lon
don in World War II.
“Tiie Tarzon” and the “Razon”
are dropped from planes in the
i conventional manner and are
J classed as “free falling”. How
ever, through radio devices oper

Army Does Not
Plan To Close
Port Of Seattle
WASHINGTON, (A1)—The army
department has no present plans
to close the army port of embar
kation at Seattle, two Northwest
Pacific Congressmen said Friday
night.
Acting secretary Gordon Gray
told Senator Magnuson and Rep.
Mitchell, Washington Democrats,
they said, that he knew of no im
mediate plans for closing the port,
as has been rumored in the Pacif
ic Northwest.
He said that before any action
to close a Pacific port of embarka
tion is taken he will notify the
Congressmen and let them present
data showing the importance of
the Seattle port to the great circle
route to 4 he Orient and to Alaska.
Mitchell told a reporter he and
Magnuson wished to point out the
smaller cost of operating through
Seattle.
Mitchell said Gray told them
he army always is making cost
surveys and he could not predict
what the future will hold for Pa
cific ports or whether appropria
tions may some day force the army
to close one of them.
A word of flattery, now and
then, makes husbands out of sin
