Test
Ship vs.. Atomic Bomb

Just after World War I, Army
planes under direction Of revolution
airy Brig. Gen. William l.. (Billy)
Mitchell sank the former German
cruiser Frankfort off the Virginia
capes in the first actual test Of bombs
against ships. t**
Another such experiment--this time
with the atomic bombs to be made
by the us. Navy, according to a
N. Y. Times dispatch, to determine
the effect Of the worlds newest and
most powerful weapon upon seapower
The target will be the 32,720-ton Jap
anese battleship Nsgato, which with
stood attack by 500 carrier planes of
Adm. William F. (BulD Halsey's fleet
The U. S., possessor of the worlds
most powerful navy, would like to
know if the atomic bomb can destroy
a ship, what effect it would have on
task force.
Reports from Hiroshima and Maya
saki indicate the force Of the ex-
plosion is up and out, not down. Peak
naval destruction Is caused by under
water explosions where pressure of
water magnifies the effect Of tor
pedo or mine.
AS a result Of Gen. Mitchells ex-
periments, US. battleships underwent
radical structural changes to protect
them from air attack. The new Ameri-
can super fattops Midway and Frank
lir Roosevelt, now being QUILTED,
may be changed radically in design
if so indicated by the atomic bomb
tests.

Abroad
Cooperation Is Essential

The unity of the Allies which
brought victory over the Axis was be-
ing put to its sternest test in the
crucible Of peace.
The Big Five Council of Foreign
Ministers meeting in London to draft
treaties ending the European war ran
into an impasse on its first problem
peace for Italy.
A us. proposal that Italy's colonies
be placed under international trustee
ship of the United Nations raised a
tempest of Balkan problems and it
was conceded this week that no treaty
for Italy could be completed at this
session of the Foreign Ministers.
A Russian demand for $6O0,000,O0O
in material PREPARATIONS from Italy
proved another stumbling block. Sow
cts are the only one of the Big Five
to demand payment from Italy.
Italy is being helped to restore her
battered economy by aid from the
United Nations Relief and Rehabilita-
tion Administration expected to
amount to $3.50, 100000. Since the us.
contributes about IS per cent of
UNRRA funds, America in effect
would be footing a considerable por-
ton Of any reparations granted Russia.
Russia also sought to extend her in
fluence to North Africa by trustee
ship over Tripolitania but the Soviets
favored individual, not collective con-
troll, of Italy's colonies.
Romania, Bulgaria and Hungry have
democratic governments representa-
tive of the people, but Greece sore
ly needed an actually democratic"
regime, Russia contended. Uncen-
sored reports from Romania, however,
painted very different picture of in
ternal conditions there.
This week the US. State Depart
ment published hitherto secret be-
-the-scenes record of the Yer
sailles Peace Conference, its record Of
failure and the prophetic vision OF
some Of its participants over the
holocaust that would rise from their
mistakes.
The moral of Versailles is not 50
much the futility Of bitter hateful
peace but the inability of victors,
united in war, to stay united in peace.
Germany did not start World War II
so much as did Italy and Japan by
their detection from Allied ranks and
the us. in its refusal to assume peace
time responsibility for the interna-
tional victory it had won.

WEATHER: Natures Atomic Blow

THE weather, which it has
- been observed, has everyone
talking about it but no one doing
anything about it, put on a CO.
lossal show for the U. S. east coast.
A hurricane, originating off the
Windward Islands, blasted Florida
with its worst blow since 1925 while
an icy northeastern swept down on
New England from Canada.
Storm warnings dotted the Atlantic
coast, air travel was suspended and
gales diverted New York-bound troop
ships to Hampton Roads and Boston.
The hurricane attained speeds of
145 miles an hour ir the Bahamas and
through the southern keys, took four
lives and damaged more than $50 ,000,-
600 in Florida property before it spent
itself in the swamps Of coastal South
Carolina.

der winds estimated at 100 miles an
hour and flames, whipped by the gale,
wiped out the base with damage esti-
mated between $30,000,000 and $40,-
100000.
The twister battered its way up the
center of the Florida peninsula,

Mans attempt to thwart some of the
hurricanes terrific force bore some
fruit. Practically all the cleaning

were unchanged save by cocoanut

wooden shacks and farmhouses ac-

At Lake Okeechobee in the center
Of southern Florida, where in 1928 a
twister blew water out of the lake
and drowned 1000 persons, it was a
different story this time. Million
dollar bikes erected about the huge
lake by Army engineers after the 1928
disaster came through their first test
successfully. Although winds reached
a SO mile an hour velocity, the storm
lashed waters stayed within the lake
bed.
