Poles Hold U. 5. Soldier
On Subversion Charges

By the Associated Press.
WARSAW, Oct. 27 CDelayed) 1t.
Col. Edward York, American air
attache in Warsaw, disclosed today
that Polish secret police are holding
an American soldier prisoner in the
Praga jail on charges of subyersive'
action.
Col. York identified the soldier as
Louie Nady. a young West Virginia
miner, and said Col. Walter A.
Pashley, American military attache,
had made repeated efforts to obtain
his release. The charge facing Nady
could carry the death penalty.
Col. York said he had interviewed
Nady in the Praga jail and that
Nady had produced an army iden-
tification tag bearing the number
352l4567. He quoted Nady as say
ing he had deserted from the 67th
Regiment Of the I'd Armored Divi-
sion last spring and had wandered
about Germany until he finally
reached Poznan.
He was arrested there while liv-
ing with a Polish family suspected

Minds Too Slow for Combat
In EIectronic War, Navy SAYS

An era Of air fighting as fantastic
as anything ever conjured up in
misunderstanding fiction is foreseen
by the Navy Department, which
reveals that 1t already has developed
a number of deadly missiles guided
by radio and television.
In report made public last night,
the Navy also said it is working on
oilot-flown aircraft with a super
sonic speed of some TOO miles per
hour.
Mans mind will be too slow for
combat of the future the Navy's
report said. But mans mind can
devise the defense. The pilotless
aircraft of the future, controlled by
electronics, will home electroni-
cally on its target. Electric brains
will guide the countermissle with
precision. Out of research and de-
veiopment will come airborne radars
which can initiate defense"
Names of Missiles Revealed.
Among the improvements marked
for future development are jet-pro-
PEELED aircraft, pilotless aircraft and
guided missiles Future Navy fight
ers probably will be iet-powered,
with rocket assistal..e for short
bursts of extremely high speed.
Then, there may come the combina-
ton jet and reciprocating engine,
and also the propeller-driving tur-
bine.
For the first time, the Navy has
revealed to the public the names
"glomb." 'gorgon" and "gargoyle." !"
The "glomb" or glider bomb, car
ries 4,000-pound bomb and can be
towed by Navy fighter plane. When
released, the bomb can be directed
into target through radio control
and television.
Thet "grogon" is a jet-propelled
missile which can be carried by
bomber. 1t can be sent into an en-
emy aircraft by radio control or by
its own automatic target-seeking
device. The "gargoyle," also jet pro-
PEELED, carries a 1,000-pound armor-
piercing bomb which, when released,
automatically seeks and collides
with a ship target

The Chinese Community Church
which yesterday celebrated the 10th
anniversary of its founding, had &C
many members that Sunday school
classes must be held in the pastors

Crowded conditions were empha-

the church was founded.
Overflow Sunday school classes

The basement houses a Chinese
school weekdays and the Sunday
schools primary and junior depart

The Rev. Mr.. Hung indicated that
the church soon may start a cam

AT the anniversary service, the
Rev. Frederick E. Reissig, executive

pilotleSs aircraft had been made
with a torpedo plane which was
radio controlled and television di-
rected from control plane, 10 miles
distant. 1t launched the ghost"
planes torpedo squarely into a
maneuvering destroyer. Also a dive
bomber was made to plunge through
the center of a moving target Out
of these experiments came several
types of assault drones, a number
Of which were first used against the
japanese at Rabaul.
The Nays Bureau of Aeronautics
says that it will lean heavily on
electronics for future offensive and
defensive weapons, pointing out that
even today patrol bomber carries
more than 27 items of electronic
equipment, weighing nearly a ton.
Another secret of the success of
American naval aircraft communi-
cations during the war was the use
of ultrahigh frequencies which the
Japs never discovered. As a result
our naval flyers enjoyed real pri-
vacy.
Another development was the
"radar corner reflector" which pro-
vided long-range detection of tiny
life RATS, whose occupants might
otherwise be lost. This, among other
things, was one of the greatest
morale builders among the pilots,
for the Navy always took great
risks to bring them back alive.
Gun Turrets Automatic.
Also on the list of study is the
use of unnamed turrets in planes,
to be controlled from a central fire
station. Then an enemy seeking TO
destroy turret gunner would waste
his time, because none would be
there.
Better and more powerful arma-
ment is under study, as we'll as
the improvement of mechanical
launching of planes from carriers.
Planes will be larger, carry heavier
loads, and many of them are ex-
pected to be pilotless.
Plans also include research and
development of improved equipment
for pilot safety. as we'll as procedures
to insure early rescue of air crews
forced down In the water. Greater
protection will be provided for fuel
and oil systems,

Dispersal Of Bigcities
Ito Meet Atom Bomb
Threat Is Suggested

~ t4lC 6oooClhteu EreAS.
A dispersal of large American
cities as a measure of protection
against the atomic bomb was rec
commended today to a Senate Mill
tary Affairs Subcommittee consider
ing Federal aid to science, In a re-
port submitted by DR.. William r.
Ogburn, professor Of sociology at
Chicago University.
Another subgroup of the same
committee received report from an
Army Navy State Commerce De-
partment Air Co-ordinating Com
mittee suggesting that the aircraft
industry should be scattered. They
also suggested q peacetime produc-
ton of 5000 military planes yearly.
The report pointed out that six
atmoic bombs could destroy all the
aircraft plants in the Los Angeles
area-or go per cent Of our late war
time production.
Two Major Questions.
In his report to the subcommit-
tee considering aid to science, DIR.
Ogburn said the atomic bomb raised
two big questions: Z
"One problem is that Of produc-
ing lasting agreement among ma
tions not to use the bomb. The
other Is to break up our cities into
smaller places less vulnerable"
He said in his prepared statement
IF an agreement not to use the
bomb fails, then there is another
way out, namely, to scatter the ur-
ban population.
ITO do this hurriedly just before
the battle starts, or after it starts. is
not adequate.
Would 1t not be better to decen-
tralize our cities in peacetime as q
defense measure?
THAT of course is a stupendous
undertaking. But If we do not scat
ter them. they may be destroyed
with few bombs"
Wants Public to Benefit.
Earlier, it was revealed President
Truman wants Congress to make
sure that any scientific discoveries
Istemming from Federally financed
research will become public prop
erty.
His position was outlined in let
ter written by Reconversion Direc-
tor Snyder to Senators Kilgore
Democrat, West Virginia and Mag
nuson, Democrat, of Washington
who have been holding the research
foundation hearings. ...
The letter, made public today, said
the President believes "the fruits OF
research financed by Federal funds
must become the property of the
United States and should be made
fully, freely and publicly available
to all"
Wants Principle in Bill.
Mr.. Truman was said to favor
writing this principle clearly In any
scientific and legislation Congress
may adopt.
1T is the Presidents opinion, Mr.
Snyder continued, that one of the
major functions of a Federal re-
search agency must be to co-ordi-
nate feoeral research activities so
as to achieve a balanced and effec-
tive program. This would not inter-
fere with the separate research pro-
grams Of the several Federal agen-
cies, but would be intended to as
sumo their effective synchronization
