Rockets
Continued From First Page

in the wonders developed at the
West Virginia laboratory.
"They made a record the city can
be proud Of" DR.. Van Evera told
The Star.
Out of the crude mortars of 9TH
er days came highly accurate rock
cts shot from ground and plane
which had vital place in Americas S
arsenal.
Sidney Golden, %, a chemist, who
formerly lived at 900 Nineteenth
street NV, was credited chiefly
with developing super bazooka'
close of the war. 1t has a shorter
which was in production at the
tube than the earlier antl-tank
rocket and it's shell carries double
the punch of the earlier weapon.
The joint board said of the de-
velopment of the rocket in general:
IF any one weapon symbolizes
the flaring crash and swift de-
struction of World War II, it is the
rocket"
Every major country engaged ir
the war used rockets, the report
pointed out. Each nation developed
types that answered most nearly
it's tactical and combat needs.
The Russians pioneered in firing
anti-tank rockets from planes ano
in the use of massed banks of rock
cts for preassault barrages.
British Defense Weapon.
The British used rockets for de-
fense against air attacks at time
when there were only 500 anti
aircraft guns in the United King
dom.
The Germans sent the W., long
range rocket bomb, hurtling through
the. .stratosphere to attack England's
cities when their planes were driven
from the skies.
The japanese made futile at
tempts to defend their island out
posts with rocket artillery.
The United States, starting from
scratch, without single rocket, de-
veloped a wide variety of these
weapons before VI day.
Homefront Praised.
For these rockets, the reports
pointed out, "our armed forces could
thank the teamwork of American
science, industry and the military
at nome" The now-in-can-be- told
narrative stated:
when the japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor catapulted the United
States into the war, our Army and
Navy had not single rocket in
service use. g, Plans for rockets were
limited. BY VI day the Army was
procuring rockets at the rate OF
S150000,000 a year. The Navy had
1900 war plants turning out rockets
at the rate of $100,000,000 month. "
These included Tiny Tim" a
1,200-pound aircraft rocket, weap-
on which gave fighter plane the
wanop of 12-inch gun; other air.
craft rockets, and the Navys rocket
gunboats, which fired 5-inch rockets
from automatic launchers at the rate
Of 300 rounds minute.
If the British had not done ex-
perimental work with rockets before

portant in the American fighting.
Follows Law of Newton.
The Joint Board on Scientific
Information Policy defines a rocket
as "a missile propelled by the high
speed, rearward expulsion of gases
generated by the combustion of an
internally carried fuel"
Weapon Has No Recoil.
Because a rocket has no recoil,
it has many advantages in war
fare. For example, an infantryman
could fire a bazooka from his
shoulder, with its terrific, tank
smashing charge, without any back
ward kick.
Lacking recoil," the report ex-
planned, "a rocket can be fired from
a simple, light tube or trough which
serves merely to point the rocket
in the right direction when it starts
its fight. AS q consequence, rock
cts may be fired from structures
which could not hold up the weight
of a gun and its recoil- -damping
mechanism, nor withstand a guns
recoil force. The comparatively
light weight of rocket launchers
gives the rocket mobility enabling
it to go many places impossible
to gun"
Yet the rockets themselves usually
are heavier than shells or bombs,
complicating the problem of trans
porting them. Then, too, most types
do not have the<accuracy of guns.
Velocities of military rockets
which the Americans have devel-
oped vary all the way from IS to
1900 feet a second and their maxi
mum range, if launched from the
ground, from 40 to 10000 yards.
Mild Interest in 1910.
DR.. Hickman suggested in 1910
that rockets be fired from planes
and launched from light vehicles
and from small boats. He also sax
1t as a powerful weapon for the
lnfantryman, thus forecasting the
bazooka. At first the Army and
Navy expressed only mild interest,
but later realized the vital needs
for rockets.
In June, 1912, a telegram from
Key West. Fla, to the director of
the research group at Caltech un-
doubtedly would have mystified all
but the initiated. 1t read something
like this: "Mouseraps arriving on
schedule. Minnie Mouse urgently
needed"
The appearance Of an antisubma-
rine rocket-f1ring apparatus under
development resembled an ordinary
kitchen mouse trap. The rocket
itself came to be nicknamed Min
ME Mouse"
The Coast Guard reports that on
April II, 1943, "mousetrap" figured
in the sinking of a German sub
in the Atlantic. Depth bombs and
surface guns also took part.
Tiny Tim Is Ultimate.
American forward-fring rockets
figured in their first submarine kill
in the Atlantic January II, 1914.
The Tiny Tim" rocket was de-
scribed as "the eliminating achieve
ment, as the war ended, of a pro-
gram of aircraft rocket development
which gave the American fighter
plane the ability to hurl at an
enemy target more high explosive
than is carried in a salvo from a
light cruiser"
One of the greatest achievements
OF Section H George Washington
was the development of a 4.5-inch
rocket using new solvent process
propellant superior to any other
known smokeless powder. This
rocket was developed to meet the
demands of the Air Forces for
higher velocity and greater accuracy

Building Subsidy Plan
Is Hit by Spokesman
For Lumber Dealers
By the Associoted Press

The administrations plan fol
building material subsidies was de-
nounced before Senate committee
yesterday as scheme to support
pre-fabricated housing to the dis
advantage of conventional builders.
The accusation came from Joseph
T. King, counsel for the National
Retail Lumber Dealers Association,
who said the plan had originated
with Sterilization Director Bowles
rather than Housing Administrator
Wyatt, its present chief advocate,
Urging the Senate Banking Com
mittee to reject Mr.. Wyatt's request
for 100000. for subsidies, Mr..
King and building supply men con-
tended price adjustments would
produce all the building materials
needed and would result in lower
cost housing.
King Quotes Bowles.
''1f Mr.. Bowles had adjusted the
price of lumber shortly after VI
day instead of 'doodling' with a
Government housing program" Mr..
King declared, Eve would be well on
the way to the solution of the
housing problem instead of having
an emergency of Mr.. Bowles' own
creation"
Mr.. King said Mr.. Bowles had
written Mr.. Wyatt on January II
saying the Government should
place 'large orders" with pre-
fabricators at prices which would
assure the producers in this field
a. generous profit" He quoted Mr..
Bowles as saying, 1--WE have . = men
of vision and boldnesS and drive,
such as Henry Kaiser and many
others, who have demonstrated that
they can develop the methods which
are required for speedy production"
"I charge" Mr.. King said, that
for eight months Mr.. BoWles re-
fused reasonable price adjustments
to get construction items for con-
ventional home builders while he
'doodled' with the plan which would
put Mr.. Kaiser in business at the
Governments expense, with an abb
solute assurance that Mr.. Kaiser,
without any risks, would receive,
and I quote Mr.. Bowles, "a generous
profit"
Against Ceiling Prices.
Mr.. Wyatt has testified that he
proposes to guarantee market for
prefabricated houses under certain
conditions. This would mean the
Government would buy them if the
manufacturer could not sell them
in the market.
James c. Downs, Chicago, repre-
senting the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, argued against
the Administrations proposal for
ceiling prices on existing houses un-
less Congress were willing to guar
antee at the same time that 1.-The
value of the dollar" would not go
down."
The House rejected both the sub
sidy and price ceiling provisions
which the Administration is asking
the Senate to put back into emer-
gency housing legislation. Major
features of the measure as it now
stands include $1,000,000,000 in
crease in Government authority to
insure home mortgages and price
ceilings on new homes.

He has only an estimated $54

While American corporations
declare inability to meet the

that the net working capital of
these institutions has reached
an all-time high.
In three months, April, May

tai of big business jumped by
$1.2 billion, a much higher rate
than in the preceding quarter
and almost as large an in

quarter Of last year.
"This increase in working
capital was fully explained by
the level of retained profits"
said the SEC.
t. add further to the cOrpO-

SEC reported that their cur
rent liabilities have been re-
