MICROSCOPE MAGNIFIES
SIX MILLION TIMES

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. "a. (UP)--
University of Texas physicists are
using a new electron miscroscope
now to examine fine detail in in
finitesimal objects which an ordi-
nary microscope could not distin-
rJiSh.
DR.. J. M. Kuehne, veteran pro-
fessor of physics at the university,
explained that beams of electrons
are hundreds of times smaller than
light waves and consequently main
tain their accuracy under much
stronger magnification. DR.. Kuehne
says the electron microscope which
uses the electron beams instead of
light beamS-can magnify accur-
ately as high as six million times.
Although the electron beam
shadows are themselves invisible, 4"
DR.. Kuehne said, they are very
effectively registered on fine grain
Photographic plates and these easi-
ly can be further enlarged by ordi-
nary optical means, until the finest
detail recorded in the image can
be usually distinguished.

ALL FIGHTING FRONTS
HAVE PRAISE FOR JEEP
PHILADELPHIA

fI1lLftDCbf f1lA, DtC. It. NOE)-
Praise for the Army jeep, developed
by the U. S. Quartermaster Corps,
has become daily occurrence in
mail from the fighting fronts.
Col. Fred A. Mcmahon, chief of
the Philadelphia Ordnance District,
reports commanders from all the :
aters of war sing the glories of
the spunky little vehicle that re-
fuses to bog down in the jungles,
the swamps, the deserts or inside
the arctic circle.
No transportation problem is too
difficult for the jeep. They take
abCec from dawn to dark on the
toughest of terrain, and company
repair shops see to it that at no
time is any repairable jeep kept out
of action for any length of time.
Success of the jeep on the battle
front reflects the responsibility TAX
ell upon itself by the ordnance
workers. Developed blythe Quarter
master Corps, the job of producing,
maintaining and supplying the
sturdy little vehicle was transferred
year ago to the ordnance de-
partment.
Battle reports convince the ord
nance workers they've done good
job in the preparatory work that
helped the blitz buggy stand up
under tie crucial test of actual
combat operations.

U. 5. Planes Rip
Japs Plans
In East Indies

SYDNEY, Dec. "a. CUPl-Japa-
nese efforts to develop and exploit
the great colonial prize of the Meth
erlands East Indies are being great
ly hampered by raiding American
Liberator bombers, which are set
ting world records for distance
bombing, according to information
reaching here.
Evidence of this is seen in the
way the Japanese have been fever
iShly preparing new defenseS-in-
depth during recent months. From
Timor to Dutch New Guinea, air.
fields of mushroom growth have
appeared in the outer perimeter of
Jap defenseS, while bases farther
removed show equal evidence of in
tenSified development.
NEW HOT SPOTS
The extent of this digging in
is increasingly apparent since our
bomberS constantly are meeting
new "hot spots" of air intercept
ton. However, our airmen continue
to hold the initiative and the Jap
is on the defensive.
To visualize the nonstop dis
tances being covered by the giant
four -motored Liberators and their
American crews, it is necessary
to imagine such plane taking off
from New York, flying to Des
MoineS, Ia, dropping its bombs and
returning.
A recent raid on the Jap-occu-
pied oil center of Balikpapan in
Borneo involved round trip of
$500 miles. And such a feat is by
no means extraordinary, but has
become almost an everyday affair
for the bombers which are hitting
the Jap well behind the front line" )"
it was pointed out.
NO FIGHTER ESCORTS
Added to the hazard of long over
water flights is the fact that these
operations must be carried out
without fighter escort. The Liberia
tors are fighting their own way
through Jap interceptors and
many have returned to their bases
on two or three engines after beat
ing off swarms of enemy fighters.
The war effort Of the airmen--
Americans, Australians and Dutch
men-in the northwest of Austria
liza tends to be overshadowed by
the scale of operations in New Gui-
nea and the Solomons, but they are
delivering an important contribu-
ton to Allied strategy in smashing
the enemy while he attempts to
consolidate his gains, it was en-
phasized.
Objectives such as Surabaya in
Java, Malmahera in the Malay
peninsula, MaccaSSar, Kendari and
Pomella in the Celebes, and Mano-
kari in Dutch New Guinea have
all felt the explosive force of the
long-range bombers.

WARNS OF NEXT WAR

The acting president of Colorado

says that the peoples of the world

so powerful that three bombs could
wipe city the size of London off

science is developing what he cal,
a blueprint of hell" for the next

Cavern Refuge
Saves Yanks
From Bombers
BY GEORGE JONES
United Press staff Correspondent


| CDelayed)-I have just seen the
prehistoric stone age triumph over
the deadliest weapon Of modern
warfare.
With 100 Americans I crouched
in a primeval cave while Japanese
bombs thundered harmleSsly over
head on this rocky, fantastic is.
land of New Britain where United
States troops landed only a week
ago.
The enemyS Goth century, stream
lined hell left our primitive foXhole
untouched, although japanese
bombers dropped at least "a big
bombs within a few feet of the
cavern entrance.
PRIMITIVE AREA
The American beachhead on the
southwest coast of New Britain is
located in one of the most primitive
areas that our troops have occupied
in the entire course of the Pacific
war. In some distant age, the sea
heaved up a vast irregular mass OF
coral that later was covered over
by almost impenetrable Swamps
and jungleS.
When the enemy bombers came
over last night, we ran for deep
coral cavern that foresighted Amer
ican officers had fitted out as an
emergency AFRAID shelter.
We warmed up with three alerts
during which the bombers droned
overhead, dropping scattered mis-
siles some distance away.
The fourth time, they meant bus
ineSs and every man settled down
around the walls of the cave and
waited to see if its 10-foot coral
roof was bomb proof.
WOKS FIELD PHONE
Near the entrance, young SER
geant worked field telephone,
and its infrequent rings echoed
sharply in the tense silence, brok-
en- only by the drone of the cir
cling enemy raiders. For nearly
20 minutes they swung back and
forth over head, getting the range,
and then they opened up.
The first stick of bombs fell
maybe 500 or 600 yards away. Sec
onds later we heard the whistle of
more bombs falling, much closer
this time
Boy, I can feel them climbing
this HILL" soldier alongside me
muttered.
None of the bombs actually came
that close, but we could hear trees
splintering and crashing outside
the cave mouth, and each explo-
sion was followed by a breath
sucking conclusion that bounced
US against the walls-no doubt
causing discomfort not only to the
Americans but to any foSsilized
stone age men who might have
shared our company.
One by one the enemy bombers
took their turn. The bombs landed
fore and aft of our shelter, but
none hit directly on the roof, and
I am content to speculate on wheth-
er our diversified foxhole, would have
survived it.

You men. al members Of the Grand jury. have an
opportunity 10 render Jackson County . service that few
other grand luries have had
In rendering tins service YOU will not only be perform
ing your duties as members Of the jackson County Grand
jury, but you will be fulfilling an obligation that is yours
a. citizens and as fathers
You undoubtedly know of the charges and accusations
concerning conditions IN Pascagoula and Jackson county
that have been rife for the past few weeks
AS members Of the Grand jury i Is your duty to IN
vesiigate these charges II craft and corruption exist, It
Is your duty 10 thoroughly and completely expose these
conditions and see that those guilty are punished. II they
do not exist. it il also your obligation to establish this fact
to your satisfaction IN order to clear the air Of the i'm
pications and charges.
However. in making your investigation. YOU should
bear in mind that these are tndispuiahlr facts.
Slot meahines and gambling have operated openly
and fagrantly, At least until a very short time ago.
Whiskey and intoxicanis have been sold 10 minors.
Drunkenness. fights and brawIing se . weekend
commonplace at some socalled r~uadhOuses and Juke
joints. and several violent deaths have been the direct
result Of this condition.
4 ls-yearold school girl was raped and RrutaIly
murdered a few short weeks ago. her body LETT in the
center of Paxcapoulas main residential section. Her
murderer remains unprecedented and unpublished
Crime and violence have shown a steady increase.
Records will prove these facts
As one minor instance. q check Of the Pascagoula
police dncket shows IS arrests for drunkenness IN one given
week Of September, 1913 In The corresponding week OF
September. 1872. II arrests were made Tor he same Of
fcnsc. This Is an increase OF over 800 per cent, and not an
isolated instance. Comparisons Of other weeks showed
the same result with monotonoug regularity and this
IN war time with every man hour Of work vitality needed.
We know that YOU gentlemen are busy men We know
that MANY Of you occupy positions directly connected with
the production Of materials that our fighting forces are
us1nN 90 waee . pax Of v1ceorpe@Ne &nose that many of
those bows are your own sons and brothers. and that taking
time from your work viii be a real sacrifice.
