BY STEPHEN j. McDONOUGH
Associated Press Science Writer

WASHINGTON, July 20. -R-
me army air corps disclosed today
That it is planning for future air.
planes three times as large as it's
present huge f~our-engine bombers.
Such planes, each big enough to
I'LL a football field and as high as
a tWo-story building, may not be
flying for another five CT ten years,
but aeronautical engineers declared
hat they would be practical.
THE bigger you build them the
more efficient they are" one engi-
neer declared.
The air corps now is completing
at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, a
power plant laboratory designed to
test engines up to 5000 horsepower,
using p%ropellers 40 feet in diameter.
The largest present twin-row air.
cooled engines develop a maximum
of 1000 horsepower, and the aver.
age automobile engine rates less
than 100 horsepower. The largest
propeller blades now in use on large
bombers or transport airplanes are
about 16 feet in diameter.

Psychologists Explore
Bald Mountain Caves

LAKE LURE, July 29-R-Lo,
these many years, there have been
strange rumblings in Bald noun
tain and people thought maybe the
old mountain might be volcanic
or something, and the rumblings
were coming from the depths of
the earth.
But a group of members of the
National Sociological Society,
came here from Washington re-
Gently and, with scant respect for
copperhead moccasins, craw1ed
through the assures, and explo&.-
ed the myth.
They found that the noises we're
caused by boulders which break
loose from the top of the supter-
ranean crevices and thunder down
to the bottom of the caves.
The caves had never been fully
exploded before.
