ABERDE ZEN WING
GROUNDS, Md, June Is Delayed)
The Army put on a private show
ing today of the training Of special
lists in the dramatic and dangerous
business Of neutralizing the sudden
death latent, sometimes by intent,
in unexploded bombs.
The actual methods and devices
used in taking out and killing a
bomb fuse are secret-if the enemy
knew how we did it, he would
change the fuses and we might have
to start all over again-with new
men.
Under the Army's Ordnance De-
partment, the Bomb Disposal School
has been in existence here since
February, 1912, and already has
trained hundreds of officers and
thousands of enlisted men in this
ticklish work.
The school also has trained $4,000
civilian defense bomb reconnais-
sance agents to locate and report
unexploded bombs.
Dangerous? 1t. Col. H. M. Walk
er, commandant of the school,
doesn't exactly pooh-pooh the idea,
but says: Its no more dangerous
than being in the infantry at the
front. Just like the infantry, bomb
disposal personnel have a job to do
and are doing it,
Col. Thomas J. Kane, director of
bomb disposal, explained that "the
unexploded bomb is one of the most
treacherous, dangerous problems ex-
tant." He said that about 10 per
cent of German bombs do not 20

When bomb doesn't go off, it
may be due to any one of three
causes. 1t may be bomb that failed

Food POISONING

Dealers Fear Cut
In Deliveries if
Heat Continues

A critical shortage In ice faces
Washington restaurants, hotels and
hospitals unless there is a break in
the heat wave, ice dealers said today
following the poisoning yesterday Of
five persons who had eaten improp-
erly kept sea-food.
A spokesman for the American Tee
Co., largest ice dealer in the city,
said that 'in spite of everything
deliveries were made on schedule
yesterday-"but We expect anything
to happen If this heat keeps up."
Some of the smaller dealers did
not fare so well, however, and many
of the restaurants were without ice
over the week end, situation which
was believed responsible for the food
poisoning cases.
Main difficulty in obtaining ice
was due to the manpower shortage
and the added burden put on sup
plies by the record-breaking heat
wave, although a variety of other
reasons contributed to the ice Short
age.
Ice dealers said the situation here
is reflected over the Atlantic sea-
board from Philadelphia to Florida.
Additional burdens were put on ice
supplies by a heavy movement of
crops, manpower shortages and
transportation troubles.
The spokesmen here, however.
pointed out that a single cool day
would make a difference in supply
ing ice and there was no reason, "at
this time to get panicky.
AS far as crop movement is con-
cerned, it was said, much of the food

Laundry Delays
Boom SaIesof
Shirts, Sheets
Purchasers Complain
Of Slow Service,
Stores Report
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG.


Delays in getting shirts and linens
back from the hard-pressed laun-
dries have resulted in men buying
far more shirts than they need and
a steady run" on depleted stocks
of sheets, survey by The Star
revealed today.
Mems haberdashery stores re-
ported an increasing number of
men who complained they had to
buy three to six more shirts be-
cause their shirts hadn't returned
from the laundries.
Many of them reported their
shirts had been lost or torn by the
inexperienced help that is all the
laundries can get, when they can
get it,
The two largest linen depart
ments in the city both reported
their stocks were being depleted be-
cause housewives are buying up to
three weeks extra supply of sheets,
pillowcases and towels. The ex-
planation they get is that their
usual supply of sheets are still in
the laundry.
Steady Buying Reported.
One sheet saleswoman said that
housewives used to wait for white"
sales to replace torn sheets in their
linen closets. but now they are buy
ing linens steadily.
I'VE have been selling a great
many Sheets" said another sales
woman. Most housewives have q
two weeks supply. Now they must
have enough sheets for three or four
weeks because their linens aren't
coming back from the laundries as
fast as they used to. I'm quoting
the customers"
Another department store said the
sheet situation had been bad for
several months but was not getting
worse. A buyer reported a number
of people had called to ask the
prices of sheets because their wash
had been lost and they wanted to
know how much they should ask
in return.
NA0so 4 oNohC
Many customers, the buyer re-
ported, are buying luncheon mats
which don't have to be washed to
replace their diminishing supply of
clean table linens.
One of the mems stores said a
customer had told salesman he had
five dozen shirts in the laundry. He
had sent all his shirts to the laun-
dry and had been buying more.
None had come back. He bought
half dozen shirts.
Haberdasheries agreed generally
that individual purchases, were
larger. Where a man used to buy
one shirt, he now buys three. In
addition, the men aren't so particu-
lar. They will buy anything they
can get to tide them over Till their
laundry returns.
Increased by Hot Weather.
One man, according to a haber-
dashery salesman, complained his
wash had been gone for % days. The
laundry had promised each week to
return it but he couldn't wait any
longer.
The stores reported a noticeable
increase in shirt buying because of
the hot weather, but said it was
larger this year because the hot
weather had made men change
shirts more often and they didn't
have backlog of shirts to fall
back on.
A national effort is now being
made to conserve textiles.

Army illustrates Great Hazards
Of NeutroIizing 'Dud Bombs
Digging Down to Buried Missile
Is Slow Work Packed With Donqer

| may take several seconds to burn
through. Or it may be time bomb
with clockwork mechanism.
Our bomb disposal squads wait
beyond the known maximum of Ger
man time bombs before they start
work.
Correspondents were shown the
work that precedes deactivation of
an unexploded bomb-clearing of the
area to prevent damage if the bomb
goes of, digging down to it, be-
cause it usually buries itself deep
in the ground, and removal of the
bomb after the fuse has been taken
out.
Because the slightest jar may set
the bomb off, digging proceeds eau
tiously. scarcely more than foot an
hour in ordinary soil-and some
bombs may bury themselves 60 feet
deep. Only two men work at a
time.
The officer in command of the dis
posal squad is always the one who,
working alone, removes the fuse,
which itself usually contains enough
explosive to blow a man to pieces.
He has to contend with such Ger
man tricks as an anti-withdrawal
device which makes bomb explode
when the fuse is pulled out.
Much training is devoted to bomb
reconnaissance - the business of
looking at an unexploded bomb or
the hole it has dug in the ground
and being able to tell whether it has
exploded or not, and, after it is un-
covered, to determine it's type.
Civilian defense wardens get this
training.
Today plane dropped duds from
1000 feet, and they threw up great
geysers of dirt as they buried them
selves deep in the soil. It is not al
ways easy to know whether a bomb
has exploded.
