Ball and roller bearings are so
accurate that tolerances of as
little as .0001 Of an inch are
common practice. How fine this
measurement is can be judged
from the statistics that the earth
scaled down TO .0001 inches
per mile would be less than half
the size of a golf ball.

People Who Live in Glass Houses
Nav Have Worlds Best Insulation
BY S. BURTON HEATH
NEA Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO 49, People who live
in glass houses don't have "a
worry about the fuel shortage rs
much as the rest Of Us do. That
is one reason why many arch
fleets believe that after the war
a great many Of us are gong
10 want glass houses. Even when
there is plenty of coal, oil and
gas. il will continue to cost
money.
To demonstrate. let's take the
case Of Mr.. and Mrs, Hugh Dun
can. who have siXroom house
in Homewood, Ill, a Chicago
suburb.
One night this past winter the
thermometer outside dropped as
il does sometimes in the lake
region. 10 II degrees below zero.
The next day, try as il would,
the mercury never could get
above 5 degrees below zero. But
inside the Duncans' house every
thing was coy.
At $50 that below zero morn
ing. the house was warmed up
10 20 degrees, and the thermo-
stat shut off their gas furnace.
All DAY the inside temperature
STAYED at or above 70. 1t was
necessary to open windows, at
times, TO cool off. AT $50 that
evening, the heat was turned on
again
USE SPECIAL WINDOWS
It is doubtful whether many
homes in the United States that
day, in the sub-zero. ATTITUDES,
maintained 70-degree heat for
IL hours without burning any
fuel except the gas pilot lights

that the two officials be paid So

increase.
Biehl implied that as, chair
man of the Budget Committee
last fall he had favored an in
crease. He told the board that

Tokyo Bay Scene One
 |Of Ruins
Bx FRANK H: BARTHOLOMEW

By FRANK H. BARTHOLOMEW
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 In Tokyo Bay. Aug. 2e-(UP)- The U. s. fleet has reach q the end of the long journey, from Pearl Har- bor.
 Nine American warships-a cruis- CT, four transports, three seaplane tenders and a troop transport triumphantly anchored in Tokyo Bay at l:30 p. m. (l2:30 a. m. EWT.) today.
 Not far away lies the bomb-shat- tered hulk of the battleship Nagato, once the pride of the Japanese navy. The wreckage of other warsE.ips of the enemy who thought he had won the war on Dec. 2, 1o4l is scattered about.
 Marines To Occupy
 Three hundred yards ahead of us is the YokoSuka naval base-the Brooklyn navy yard of Japan. Marines aboard this ship, the trans port Gosselin. will occupy the base Thursday.
 There is no activity there now. Bubble of buildings hit by American bombs dots the area. Great cranes jut over the roofs of buildings still standing.
 Farther north, we can see the buildings of Yokohama, the port of Tokyo, glistening in the sunlight. And beyond them, but out of sight on the horizon, lies Tokyo itself.
 We traversed the 25 miles from Sagami Bay, where Admiral William F. (BulD Halsey and the remainder of the occupation armada still waits impatiently, without incident.
