automatic anti-aircraft guns. Moth
ing of the sort existed, however.
The nearest approaches to the
-millimeter cannon were the
American bozooka and the German
panzerfaust. These were both
rocket weapons. They were effective
but their range was short and they
were inaccurate.
Recoilless artillery has been an
ideal ever since early in the World
War. 1t is based on the principle
of balancing the recoil caused by
the projectile with the recoil, in
the opposite direction, of gases aris-
ing from the combustion of the
powder.

Research Forecasts
lnfantrymen Armed
With 57-MM Cannon
By Thomos R. Henry

A weird picture Of future war
fare, with infantrymen carrying ST.
millimeter cannon instead of rifles,
and heavy weapons companies
armed with -millimeter howitzers
instead of machineguns and NOR
tars, rises from the Army Ordnance
Departments current research in
recoilless heavy weapons.
Late in the war few troops were
furnished with what may be
the most revolutionary infantry
weapons of all time-57- -millimetel
cannon weighing only As pounds
compared with about 5000 pounds,
and 75-millimeter guns which
weighed only 110 pounds. The
former could be carried by one
man. 1t could be fired from the
shoulder like rifle with essentially
the same accuracy. 1t fired a 2a-
pound shell about 21a miles. The
-millimeter gun could be set up
on tripod like that used for an
ordinary machinegun.
Research Still Secret.
Ordnance officers explain the
same technique has been applied to
heavier and heavier weapons,
probably reaching to the weight
limit of light artillery, the 105-milli-
meter light hoWitzer weighing q
minimum Of $500 pounds at present
All details still are covered by
security regulations, but it was in
timated that much research has
been conducted to make these
weapons automatic and to reduce
weights still further with new mate
rials, to the point where cannon
may weigh little more than rifle.
The effectiveness Of infantry
always has been measured in terms
of fire power. Even the 57-milli-
meter cannon, a crude beginning,
gives an infantry regiment all the
fire power of regiment Of light
artillery. With the newer weapons
this may be increased still further.
Ordnance experts also point out
that with the new guns, shells fired
by doughboys can be equipped with
proximity fuses which, when first
introduced to light artillery in the
Battle of the Bulge a year ago last
Christmas, nearly doubled the fire
power of batteries and was one of
the greatest factors in breaking the
back of German resistance.
Vastly Improved.
The new guns were rated as
perhaps the fourth greatest new
weapon of the war, rating only
behind the atomic bomb, the prox-
unity fuse and radar. But they
were only a start and those in
troduced eXperimentally in the last
days Of the fighting have been vastly
improved.
The infantry carried cannon still

may have one disadvantage COM
pared with rifles. At night they
make more brilliant flash than
artillery guns, thus revealing the
location Of troops. In daylight they
give of more smoke, also revealing
locations. Intensive research, how
ever, has been devoted to this phase
in the last few months.
From Normandy on, German
prisoners, amazed at the accuracy
Of American artillery and its enor-
nous fire power, used to tell of
rumors in their own ranks that

Voters in Arlington
May Register in 1o47

Arlington residents who have paid
their poll taxes will be eligible to
vote in special election in June,
even though they register after to-
morrow, it was announced today.
Commissioner of Revenue Harry
K. Green, quoting ruling of Abra-
ham P. Staples, State attorney gen.
eral, said: "a person who has paid
his 1914, 1945 and 1916 capitation
taxes six months prior to the Sec
ond Tuesday in June of 1947 may
register on and after January l, 1947,
and be eligible to vote in special
election to be held before the second
Tuesday in June of 1947."
Mr.. Green said interest in voting
on the proposed county and school
bond issues has prompted many cit
liens to inquire If they will be ell
gible to vote in the special election
on those issues If they register after
tomorrow.
The attorney generals ruling, he
said, has no bearing on primary or
general elections. Persons desiring
to register and vote in these elec-
tions, he added, can qualify by pay
ing capitation taxes before May 8,
1947. Citizens who have not paid
poll taxes during the last three years
should ask to be assessed for the
capitation tax before May 3.

Cases Bring
Barber Shop Probe
In Prince Georges

An inspection of health and sani-
tary conditions in all barber shops
in Prince Georges County has been
ordered as the result of an increas-
ing number of scalp ringworm cases
among county school children. 1t
was learned today.
The inspection, the first of its
kind on a general basis to be con-
Quoted by the county, is scheduled
to begin soon, the county health
department announced.
County Health Officer DR.. John
M. Byers, who ordered the inspec-
ton, said he had no estimate Of the
number of ringworm cases in the
county, but added, there are prob
ably two or three severe cases in
every school"
Lack of Standards Blamed.
A lack of standard regulations
governing inspection of sanitary IA
cilities in barber shops is to blame,
according to DR.. Byers. The only
requirement for BARRIERS at present
is to meet approval of the State
BARRIERS Examining Board.
He said the Examining Board has
no inspectors and must rely solely
no inspectors.
Charles L. Wood, Health De-
partment sanitary engineer under
whose supervision the inspections
will be conducted, said the only time
such inspections were made pre-
viously by the county was when in
dividual complaints were sent in.
Both Health Department officials
said any violations first will be re-
ported to the barber shops to per-
NIT them to remedy such condi-
tions. If the Health Department's
suggestions and recommendations
are not carried out later. the Bar
bers Examining Board will be noti-
fled, DR.. Byers said.
Study to Be Conducted.
The health officer said most ring
worm victims in the county live in
the metropolitan areas. A study
of children with ringworm will be
conducted as part Of the inspection
campaign to ascertain which bar
ber shops they went to, he revealed
Most ringworm cases are found
among boys under Is, DR.. Byers
said. About 65 per cent of the vic
tins have it in the clipper area" I"
indicating that clippers may be the
main source of infection, he said.
In girls, ringwor1n is found mostly
in the area surrounding the part"
