CONCLUDE FORT
SALISBURY TESTS
[COnfinued frOm First Pagr]


Sixteen shots were fired during
the two day tests.
Every precautiOn was taken for
safety before the guns were fired.
The big guns, II inches bore and
about 40 feet long, were pointed Ov-
er Slaughter Beach. The fort was
put into communication with the
radio station at Cape May by radio
and Cape May told the fort each
time that the range was clear. The
small number of shots each day was
due to so many vessels passing over
the range that it was difficult to find
it clear. Having once given the clear
signal the coast guard protected the
range from boats running across it
and the big gun was fired.
The projectiles used were II inch
es in diameter and about four feet
long while the shell added consider
able length before it was put into
the gun. The prOjectiles were of
rollOw steel and filled with sand.
No one was allowed within the
fort except the Reserve officers and
the men engaged in handling the
guns and making the necessary
tests. It was explained that as this
was a test and the first one made in
nine years, it was not advisable to
take any risk with civilians. 1t is the
business of army men to take risks.
The four guns at Fort Salisbury
are the latest in ordnance and are
later than the disappearing guns
with which forts were formerly
equipped. These are barbette guns.
It is explained that disappearing
guns are no longer used for the rea-
son that they can not be hidden
from aircraft and it is therefore
necessary to use barbette guns
which can be camoufaged from air.
craft. The guns at Fort Saulsburg
are in two batteries. Battery Hall
named for former Governor John c.
Hall, and Battery Haslet, named for
the famous Delaware Colonel of
times. The fort itself
was named for Willard Salisbury,
former United States Senator and
father of willard Salisbury, also
United States Senator, who died in
a few years ago.

Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M
Hyde, who recently charged the SovietS
were attempting to manipulate the Chi

indicated he will be present, the state

Wheat and corn values both scored
early advances in the Chicago market
today after March and May deliveries
OF wheat had touched new low price
records. Initial declines in Chicago
were largely a reflection of doWnturns
in quotations at Liverpool, where Rus
sian and Canadian grain was reported
pressing for an outlet. On the other
hand, future delivery offerings of wheat
IN Chicago lacked volume on price set
backs, and it was pointed out that Rus
sian exports of even as much as 50,000,-
600 bushels would not satisfy European
importers requirements for one month
