Lesser Jets have been tested IN the
Rocket Society.
None Of these were military. The
new experiment seeks to adapt the
information to explosive shells.
Power and distance already are
available. But problems Of accuracy
in flight, cheapness Of construction,
and types of fuel have yet to be
solved.
Mr.. Chandler says the experiments
indicate that the direction can be
fixed in the gun so that the fire.
winged shell flight will take it to
the target. Present experiments
are with jet shells ranging from
] to 5 inch caliber.
Guns Very Light.
Advantages of these guns include
very light weight. Some models
could be carried as easily as a ma
chine gun There is no recoil, as
the jet-snel starts slowly. Con-
trary to an artillery projectile, this
shell would reach its maximux We
locity at or near the end of its
flight.
Another Rocket Society engineer,
Zbigniew Krzywoblocki, says that
jet wings should increase the effect
iveness of airplane bombs. The
speed, and consequently the armor-
penetration. of these bombs is now
limited by the resistance of the air
counterbalancing gravitation.
Jet propulsion would drive the
falling bombs much faster. 1t also
would enable planes. aiming at large
target areas, to launch their bombs
at some distance, perhaps several
miles away.

Rios Seen Tightening
u. S.-ChiIe Relations

A closer relationship will exist
between the United States and Chile
after the Inauguration Thursday of
Juan Antonio Rios as president of
Chile, according to DR.. L. Della Car
rera Of Santiago. who Is In the
United States for graduate studies.
Everywhere in Chile" he said,
"there is the most cordial and solid
spirit of friendship toward Ameri-
cans. The Chilean situation is very
good, and everybody is happy and
hopeful for a very good and prosper
GUS government"
When he left Santiago recently,
DR.. Carrera said, the prospects were
that Ernesto Barros Jarfa, former
minister of foreign affairs, would
resume that ONCE or some other
important post In the administration
of President Rios. He is a warm
friend of Americans, according to
DR.. Carrera.

Cannon That Shoot
Jet-Prope|Ied Shells
Studied by Engineers
Would EnubIe PIones
To Attack Targets
Several Miles Awuy
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,

NEW YORK. March 30.-Science
has fashioned its first cannon of the
future, to shoot shells which fly by
their own power with jet propulsion.
This first weapon is small. light
metal tube inches in diameter,
4 feet long. The shells are 6 inches
long, a little more than 2 inches
thick.
1t is entirely experimental, but
Is a start on principle recognized
As sound by aviation engineers, The
gun was designed by Edward F,
Chandler, New York engineer, and
Is described in Astronautics, journal
Of the American Rocket Society.
Lesser Jets Tested.
The purpose is to experiment with
the jets, of burning powder, gaso-
line, liquid oxygen and other power
sources, to drive the shell. Jets
which drive an 18-foot long projec-
tile 7 miles have been developed by
DR.. Robert Goddard in New Mexico.

Post Office Employees Get
Longer Working Hours

Three-fourths of the personnel Of
the City Post Office virtually went
on a 48-hour week Saturday imme-
diately after President Roosevelt
signed legislation abolishing a re-
quirement for compensatory time
off for work beyond 40 hours and
enabling the Post Office Department
to pay overtime in an effort to
cope with the Nationwide shortage
of help.
About three -fourths of the 1900
man Office have been working Sat-
urdays, officials said. Under the
system abolished, anybody working
in the City Post Office on Saturday
was given a day off in the following
week.
Eventually, the law will affect
postal carriers, it was said.
The City Post Office. faced by a
tremendous increase of work, had
to hire a number of extra employees
whose hours now will be somewhat
reduced.
The 48-hour week may not GO
into effect in post offices all over
the country since its application is
left to the Postmaster General.
