Navy Developing
New And Terrible
Weapons Of War
NEW YORK, (/P)—Plane maker
Glenn L. Martin says the navy has
perfected guided missiles that can
search out an enemy ship and de
stroy it “even if it is halfway
across the ocean.”
• The United States’ present-day
warfare developments Martin
says, also include a radio-active
cloud that will kill anything it
touches, new bacteria weapons
and an a-bomb far more devastat
ing than those dropped on Japan.
The navy’s guided missile is
equipped with a homing device
which steers it to its target, Mar
tin, head of the plane manufactur
ing company that bears his name,
said at a press conference Wednes
day.
“We can sink the ship even if it
is halfway across the ocean. All
we have to do is get our own ships
out of the way.”
The missiles also can' be used
against iron foundries, he said,
and “it will be possible to elimin
ate a nation’s steel industry in
time.”
The radio-active, or atomic
cloud is spread by wind, he de
clared. There’s a danger of it
backfiring on its user if turned
loose when weather conditions are
not suitable.
If another war comes, the new
weapons make it likely that its ul
timate course would be determ
ined within 65 days, he said.
“Our greatest weapons are some
months away,” Martin declared.
“It will take two years before we
could produce sufficient aircraft
of the new type now being devel
oped. Missiles would be ready
much more quickly.”
In Washington, the atomic en
ergy commission had no comment
on Martin’s statements.
Reds Put Many Into
Concentration
WASHINGTON, </P) — The
United States has charged Russia
with smashing political opponents
in eastern Germany by throwing
them into concentration camps
without trial.
In a sharp note to the Soviets
last night, the state department
said Russian-backed political par
ties in the former enemy country
are “the new bulwark for a totali
tarian regime” and added:
“Concentration camps are being
used anew for individuals unwill
ing to accept this totalitarianism."
A diplomatic official, meanwhile
identified two of the camps a
Buchenwald—where millions per
ished at Nazi hands during the
war—and Oranienburg.
The American note was in ans
wer to a Russian protest that the
western powers are splitting Ger
any—and Europe—in defiance of
the Potsdam agreement.
Flatly rejecting that charge—as
Britain did Thursday the United
States referred to moves it has
taken with the British and French
to achieve the "pacification of
Germany and the economic recov
ery of Europe,” and added:
“It is not these steps which have
led to the political cleavage of
Europe as claimed by the Soviet
government, but rather prior ac
tions of the Soviet government and j
a group of eastern European states
under Soviet influence.”
"I hear your son was dismissed
from college for poor eyesight.”
"Yeah, he mistook the dean of
women for a coed.”
“Shooting Stars**
Assigned To 57th
ANCHORAGE, <AJi— An unan
nounced number of P-80 “Shoot
ing Stars” jet-propelled fighter
planes, have been assigned to the
57th fighter group at Elmendorf
field.
Air force spokesmen said this is
the first time jet planes have been
actually attached to the Alaskan
Air Jet Command. A squadron of
P-80’s was stationed at Ladd Field
last winter for winterization tests.
The spokesman said the switch
from the conventional type air
craft to jet planes was in line with
air force policy of streamlining
and modernizing its equipment.
Plan Vehicular
Tubes For Sound
OLYMPIA, i/P) — Long-range
plans for submerged floating tubes
to carry traffic between Seattle
and Bainbridge and Vashon Is
lands in Puget Sound were dis
closed recently by state officials.
Charles N. Andrews, consulting
engineer for the state toll bridge
authority who originated the pro
posal, said he knows of no other
similar floating concrete struc
tures in the world.
Andrews stressed that construc
tion of the tubes could not be con
templated for some years.
"We will have to have consider
able more development of Puget
Sound before they will be feasi
ble,” he said. “We will probably
see ferries on Puget Sound for a
long time yet.”
‘Back on Gold StM*
Economists Grv
j
NEY YORK, (If) — Return to
a gold money system is urged by
42 members of an economists’
group who contend the present
system in this country tends to
lessen the purchasing power of
the dollar.
The group, members of the Ec
onomists’ National Committee on
monetary policy, issued a state
ment yesterday supporting a con
gressional bill to allow citizens to
own gold coins and to make paper
money redeemable in gold coin.
The committee was formed in
1933 after the dollar had been
devalued and other new fiscal
measures put into effect by the
Roosevelt administration. It is
described by Arthur W. Crawford,
a member from the U. S. Cham
ber of Commerce, as being of "the
more or less orthodox school, of
conservative tendencies.”
