ROCKET BOMBS:
Developed In u. s.

Examination Of a German rocket
bomb, W., which fell into the hands
Of the Allies in Belgium, discloses
that this supposedly mysterious ven-
geance weapon, which is believed to
have been fred more than 60 miles
above the earth to fall in England,
is similar to rockets developed in the
United States before the war, by
Robert H. Goddard, in experiments
begun in 1910.
Discarding gunpowder as the driv-
ing force, DR.. Goddard adopted liq-
uid fuels, selecting liquid oxygen and
gasoline. He designed a scientif-
ically shaped combustion chamber
which "squeezed'' the escaping
gases and extracted from them
greatly increased pushing power He
introduced jet-driven centrifugal
pumps to feed the fuels under great
pressure; and evolved pilot gyro,
connected with vanes near the tail
of the rocket, which stabilized and
controlled it's flight.

MANPOWER:
Channel Workers

Even as congress considered
work or fight" legislation for 49,
5000 men in the 18 to "a year
age group, the War Manpower COM
mission tested a new voluntary plan
for channeling employees from UNI
essential to essential industries in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware.
Under the WINGS new plan,
the number of workers unessen-
tial plants can retain is reduced,
with men released then offered
suitable jobs in essential indus
try. If they refuse to accept,
the United States Employment
service will not give them q re-
ferral card, necessary for OBJ
tanning work elsewhere.
Under the work-or-fght legislation
shaped by congress, workers In less
essential jobs would be asked to
shift to more critical employment
by their local draft boards, with the
latter then ordering them to trans
fer If they failed to act voluntarily.
Physically fit men violating the or
der would be indicted into the army
while the physically unfit would be
liable to fine and Imprisonment.

ON THE FARM:
Not All Profit

Although U. S. net farm income
for 1914 is officially estimated at
about 1874 billion dollars, figures
nearly double that amount have ap-
peared labeled as farm income, ac-
cording to L. R. Breithaupt, extern
sion economist at Oregon State col
lege.
A farmers real farm income is
not the total value of his sales of
crop and animal products plus the
value of things used from the farm
but only what is left after business
expenses, economic point out.
THUS, net farm income as reported
by the USDA consists of net cash re-
turns from sales Of farm produce
plus the value of food, fuel, housing,
ETC., used on the farm"
Study of data indicates net farm
income rarely reaches one-half of
the gross farm receipts, except
in war time. From 1921 to 1910, U. S.
farm production expenses averaged
SO per cent of the gross receipts
from farm production. Thus, Al per
cent was left in cash and the value
OF food, fuel, and housing, ETC., as
the average net farm income.
Owing to an expected reduction in
the volume Of farm products for sale
in 1945 and probable increase in
some farm costs. the U. S. net farm
income in 1945 is expected to be less
than in 1914 and 1943.

Dairy Outlook

Because of the absence of season
al adjustments in ceiling prices,
prices received by dairy farmers for
the next few months probably will
decline less than usual. But dairy
production payments will continue
at record levels, at least during the
first quarter of 1945 for which peri
cd payments have been announced.
Milk production during the first
part of 1915 is expected to continue
at the record rate of 12O billion
pounds in October and November.
Indications are that the amount

EUROPE:
Reach Reich

Having severed the rich agricul-
tural province of East Prussia from
Germany, the Red tidal wave of
upwards of 100000 men rolled
clear up to the eastern border of
the Reich itself, with the Nazis des-
perately trying to check the drive.
Biggest threat to the Reich lay in
the Russian advance on Silesia, the
little Ruhr" of southeastern Ger
many, where Red columns closed
in on the rich coal, zinc and iron
resources and the industrial CEN
tiers built around them. Once able
to produce about 700,0O0,0 1000 tons of
coal annually during the height of
her conquests, defeats in both the
west and east, coupled with severe
aerial bombardment, are said to
have reduced Germany's output to
around 200,0O0,Oo0 tons.
From Silesia northward, the Ger
mans fell behind the fiat, forested
banks of the Oder river in an effort
to check the Russian tide, relying
on defenses repeatedly in the
making as far back as two
years ago, when the Nazis foresaw
the probability of being forced to
fight alone. Reaching the river, the
Russians boldly exploited their mi
tiative, throwing armor across its
frozen expanse, and bitter fighting

contain their bridgeheads.

Supply yOfPhysicidns
 Causing Concern Here
DF. Barker, State Constituent, Points Out Features of DisehuFqe Procedure

"The discharge of medical of flcers from the Army and the Navy is assuming increasing importance because of civilian needs" Dr, Creighton Barker, consultant for the WHO'S Procurement and As- sienment Service for Physicians, stated today. Many inquiries con- cerning this matter have been re- ceived and there is growing con- cern in several Connecticut com munlties and in the hospitals of the state regarding the supply of physicians.
 Procedure
 There is a widespread belief that urgent civilian demands for the return of physicians are not re- ceiving sufflcient weight" pr, Barker said, and 1t Is essential that the present regulations governing discharge of medical officers be understood.
 Army Medical Corps officers will be released as soon as administra- tive procedure permits If (a) they are 46 years of age
 (b) they entered on active duty prior to Pearl Harbor Co they have 30 Adjusted Service Rating points.
 It must be pointed out, however, Dr. Barker cautioned, that there will be exceptions to these regula.. tions in the case of scarce medical specialists whose services are re- quired by the Army.
 "Release from the Medical Corps of the Naval Reserve will be granted to officers who have accumulated 60 points, based on the following allowances:
 ,(a) one-half point for each year of age, plus
 (b) one-half point for each month of active duty since Sept. l, 1889, plus
 (d) one-quarter point for each month of overseas service"
 The Procurement and Assignment spokesman explained further that the Army and Navy have both agreed to cooperate with the Ap- peal Committee of PEA in the re- lease of selected medical officers to meet critical community situa. tons.
 Iie stressed, however, that 1t must be remembered that thou. sands of officers will be released under the point system during the coming months and by the time Q physician Is released on appeal, another may Dc returned to the same community on points. There. fore both services emphasize that the successful operation of such a program depends on the Submis. sion for special consideration of only those cases where the com. munity need is genuinely critical and for only those officers whose separation Is unlikely on any other basis. The experience in general has been that the discharge of of. ficers on age, points, or length of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-09-27

service Is faster and more certain than on the grounds of urgent civilian needs.
 Facing Call
 The hospitals win continue to operate under a shortage of house offlcers, pr. Barker stated, because the Army and Navy expect to call to active duty all of their officers who have been educated at Govern. ment expense under ASTp or V.i2 programs at the completion of their internshfps or resldencies. The ex- isting quotas Of interEss, and resi- dents allotted to hoSpitRls cannot therefore be extended at the pres ent time. The provision that vet erans can take interFfships and resi- dencies without being Included in quotas may be expected to- bring some relief for the hospitals and, with the frequent and rapid changes in regulations improvement in the situations in communities and hos- pitals may be looked for within the next year,

POWELL CLASHES With
PRESS (AMERAMAN AT
WEDDING RECEPTION

NEW YORK, Aug. IA (ANP)-
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell clashed
with news cameramen during his
wedding reception here at Barney
Josephson's Cafe Society Uptown.
The clash is reported to have
occurred when the newly wed cou-
pie were posing for Life magazine
photographers. Cameramen of sew
eral dailies and press services sug-
gested that they be allowed to work
with Life's lensmen in order to
save time but Powell refused. He
ordered an Associated Press pho
tographer elected from the place
and the rest of the news group, ex-
cept Life's cameraman, went down.
stairs to await an apology.
Powell refused to apologize and
the news photographers left the
reception without fulfilling their
mission. Most papers here carried
a perfunctory story. The Journal
American gave the nuptials a brief
notice describing Hazel Scott as "a
night club singer" The N. Y.
Times, however, gave full and dig
nified treatment of the affair. No
reference was made of the clash
with the press.
An estimated 5000 persons, rep
resenting members of Rep. Pow
elrs parish, theatrical, literary and
musical celebrities, attended the
reception. Among them were Con-
gressmen Dickstein, Collier and
