Motor boat owners have demanded
more gasoline ito save our 100000
boats from ruin"
Charging "inequities in the ra-
tioning of gasoline" the American
Power Boat Association said that
the lack Of fuel was causing de
terioration to gasoline powered boats
at the rate of $7O,C0O.OeO years.
During the European war motor
boat owners we're allowed two gal
Ions of gasoline per horsepower
with a maximum of 125 gallons for
three-month period until last Oc-
tober Then the maximum was cut
to "a gallons. forcing thousands Of
these boats into dry dock deterior-
ation," according to the association.
The present allotment is SO gallons

Germans Planned Weapon
5000 Miles Over Earth

eering minds and distaste for the
fantastic.
Keck told a SHAEF press confer
ence that the ray, when focused on
any living thing, theoretically would
kill it. Any body of water would
be turned to steam, forests kindled,
and cities wiped out"
He quoted German scientists as
saying that the first country which
perfected this weapon would for
ever control the world"
FOR USE OF SCIENCE
The Germans also were said to
have foreseen the use of the plat
forms as observation posts for as
tronomers and other scientific OBJ
servers, and for generating power
for the earth by focusing the con-
trolled rays on ground receiving
station.
The idea of using platforms to
launch space ships to other planets
and the outer regions also was en-
visaged.
Keck described the German plan
as mans first organized attempt
to reach beyond the earth.'
He said the plan definitely was
found lacking at certain experiment
tai stages, but the scientists seemed
convinced that the region beyond
gravity was accessible to man.
The plan, Keck said, was known
to some 100 of Germany,s foremost
rocket experts, all of whom had
been questioned by American army
specialists and some by the Rus
slams.

WhOOpeee!
1t was late on Sunday after
noon in Ell Centre. Two police pa
trolmen, Walter Armstrong and
Tricycle. Smith, were sent in patrol
car to arrest an unruly man.
The man objected to being put in
the car. Armstrong pinned his arms
down and started propelling him
carward. There was a slight struggle
before the man was dumped in.
"Open the door! Open the door"
Armstrong urged Smith. Armstrong
stood with his back 70 the door
and wave1 frantically TO Smith, who
sat 81 the wheel.
"That struggle tore my trousers
in the back" Armstrong gulped.
Take me home in a hurry"
Smith took him home, but stopped
a way down the street SO Armstrong
had to dodge a group of women
chatting on the sidewalk.
Psf you have ideas of revenge,
Armstrong is open to suggestions.
