Icy Problems
Stop Experts
(By Charles Molony)
WASHINGTON, Sept, 13— <JFI —
Technical problems of military op
erations in Arctic areas seem to be
giving the Defense Department con
siderable concern.
It wants, for example, some way to
erase the tracks men and vehicles
leave in the snow and a device to
burrow large holes in snow or ice
leaving the surface "essentially flat
for camouflage.”
This was indicated today by a
list of problems made public by
the Defense Department’s scientist
advisers in the hope of getting sol
utions or good ideas—from anyone.
Of 21 technical problems compiled
by the National Inventors Council
with the cooperation of the Armed
Services, at least 16 tfere plainly
connected with military difficult
ies under extreme cold.
Appeal to Inventors
The Council, composed of 18 top
rank scientists, engineers and re
search men, appealed to other sci
entists and to “individual inventors”
for ideas on such problems as:
An "extra light weight, low ground
pressure, gasoline-operated over
snow vehicle” usable as "a prime
mover for sleds or men and to break
trail in snow for men equipped with
snowshoes or skis.” The weight, com
bat loaded, should approximate 1,000
pounds.
“A device capable of burrowing
a large vehicle-sized hole or tun
nel through hard compacted snow or
solid ice to produce rapid under
snow storage and protection.”
“An over-surface personnel, sup
ply and tactical vehicle that can
negotiate the major types of Arctic
-terrain at all seasons.” Among other
items, it would “have to be fairly
large with the ability to travel in
water,”’and suitable for operations
in winter-long darkness or Summer
long light of polar areas.
Simpler Sounding Problems
Ideas were sought on simpler
sounding problems, too. For example,
the National Inventors Council
would like to have communications
to it, in care of the Commerce De
partment here, regarding:
"Practical methods of destroying
tell-tale tracks of men on foot or
vehicles across snow fields.”
“Inexpensive methods for rapidly
converting snow and ice to drinking
water in quantity.”
“Engine and personnel heaters for
vehicles, particularly methods to
keep crews of vehicles warm enough
without so much clothing that they
cannot perform their tasks."
At least one problem seemed nicely
adapted to the talents of people who
know nothing abdut machinery.
The Council, and through it the
Defense Department, svould be hap
py to get good suggestions on ma
terials which, can be used as substi
tutes for down and feathers in sleep
ing bags.
“Down and waterfowl feathers for
use in mountain and Arctic sleeping
bags are critical materials in time
of emergency,” the Council explain
ed .

COMEDY FEATURE
NOW SCREENED,
CAPITOL THEATRE
_ i
Starting off with a bright comic
idea whose laugh potential rates ex
tremely high. Columbia Pictures has
come up with a very funny comedy i
In And Baby Makes Three." Play
ed to the hilt by a pair of expert
farceurs such as Robert Young
and ilarbara Hale, assisted In their
strivings to tickle the funny-bone
by Robert Hutton. Jants Carter
and Billie Burke. “And Baby Makes
Three" opened yesterday at the Cap
itol Theatre, where the audiepce
enjoyed it Immensely.
The gimmick which serves to
launch the richly comical proceed
ings, is the amusing plight that
young bride (Hale) finds herself
in shortly after she has divorced her
first husband (Young). During her;
Wedding to Hutton, she faints and is
informed that she is going to have ;
a baby. The wedding is momentarily j
postponed and a tussle 'over the baby j
ensues between • Miss Hale arid
Young. Young renews an amiable j
association with Miss Carter, an
pld flame, with the idea of marrying
her in order to establish a legal
basis as to his competency to keep
the baby.
Ci m.sequent developments furnish
hilarious thrills.
