He added that the energy of CO.'S
mic ray particles is millions of
times greater than that which can
be produced by nuclear fission
Most of the rays reaching the earth
he said, consist of only one particle
In the experiment, the cosmic
ray showers were picked up and
counted by two specially designed
telescopes looking out of small doors
on either side Of the warhead, DR..
Van Allen explained.
Signals emitted by the telescopes
were marked on steel cylinders
within the warhead and at the
same time transmitted by radio to
receiving stations on the ground.
DIR. Van Allen said the laboratory
would continue its cosmic ray ex-
periments with missile to be
launched october "a.
During the war, the laboratory
was largely responsible for the de-
velopment of the proximity fuse
and two new Navy gun directors.
It is now engaged in research in the
field of guided missiles under con-
tract with the Navy Bureau Of
Ordnance.

Cosmic ray showers, containing
tremendously greater energy than
can be produced by demonstrating,
are 300 times more numerous in the
upper atmosphere than at ground
level, according to data recorded
by instruments of the Silver Spring

visor of the laboratory's long-range
program of high altitude research,
at a special session Of the American
Physical Society in New York.
Declaring that the laboratory
hopes through its studies to obtain
a new and clearer understanding Of

President Truman today was to
receive the Most Rev. and Right
Hon. Godfrey Francis Fisher,
Archbishop of Canterbury, on the
second day of the British Primate's
visit here.
The prelate was to be accom-
panied to the White House by the
Right Rev. Angus Dun, Bishop of
Washington, and Lord Inverchapel,
the British Ambassador. The church
leaders later were to be entertained
at lunch at the British Embassy.
DR.. Fisher and his party plan to
leave Washington tomorrow for
Princeton University.
The archbishop, in a sermon yes
terday afternoon at the Cathedral
and at banquet last night at the
Mayffower Hotel, pointed to the
difficulties through which he said
the world now was passing but he
declared he was mo pessimist."

ing to be blown to pieces by atomic
bombs, nor by warning nations
he told the dinner group of dis
tinguished guests. He emphasized,
however. it would take all the pa
tience of which man is capable to
carry us through.
He called for return to "the re-
ligion of Christ" to combat the
effects of war
DR. Fisher paid tribute to British
Foreign Minister Bevin for having
done first-class job"
1--WE believe he's got the right
idea" declared the archbishop. He
wants the right things. He has the
right idealism and he is stubborn
in negotiations-he ought to be,
he's been at 1t most Of his life-and
he gets the most he can for the
right ends. He has the strong, un-
wavering support of public opinion. "
What is happening in England,
under the Labor government, the
prelate said, was happening more or
less in every nation. He explained
the problem so far unsolved as:
How to correlate freedom for the
individual, his freedom of speech
liberty, his powers and leadership on
the one hand, with proper social
order on the other hand in which all
people will have the opportunity OF
sharing in the amenities of civiliza-
ton How to order social life
so the citizen could have those
things which formerly only a few
have acquired, but all should have.
Differences in People.
In both his sermon and his eve
ming address, the speaker pointed te
certain differences between the
British and American people, but
stressed that 'in all things tina,
really matter, that affect funda.

Taxi Monopoly
AtAirport Here
Will Fight for Right
Of All Drivers to
Pick Up Passengers

The American Legion today took
up the cudgel for taxicab drivers
barred from picking up passengers
at the National Airport, which has
resulted in an increase in fares to
the airport.
Joseph Davidson, chairman of the
District department of the Legion's S
Aeronautics Committee, said the de-
partment Executive Committee last
night adopted a resolution demand
ing that all properly licensed taxi
cab drivers In the District be given
free access to carry passengers from
the National Airport to the District "
The resolution, Mr.. Davidson said,
urged that the existing contract
wherein monopoly has been
granted for the transportation of
airline passengers from the National
Airport" to the District be rescinded.
Restricted to One Concern.
The airport last month prohibited
the transportation of passengers
into town except by the company
holding the airport contract-Airport
Transport, Inc. AS result, Dis
trict cab drivers were no longer per-
mitted to pick up passengers at the
airport door with permission of air.
port officials.
The Public Utilities Commission,
having abandoned the standard rate
Of 80 cents from downtown WASH
ington to the airport, and cab
drivers. fearful that they would
have to return to Washington with
out passengers, increased their fares
to SIPS and on up to SITS.
The Legion resolution pointed out
this monopoly reacts to the detri-
ment of the public interest and to
the detriment of the veterans duly
licensed to operate cabs" in the
District. Mr.. Davidson estimated
more than go per cent of the District
cab drivers are veterans.
AS far as the public interest Is
concerned, he added, the present
arrangement has been a constant
source of complaint to airline trav-
elers who want to go direct to Gov
eminent agencies by cab rather than
take the airport limousine.
Doubts Fines Can Be Levied.
Pointing out drivers have beer
threatened with fines if they pick ur
passengers at the airport without
permission, Mr.. Davidson said he
could find nothing in the regulation.
indicating such penalties could be
levied against drivers.
Mr.. Davidson said the resolution
would be sent to T. P. Wright, ad.
ministrator of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration, today. The resolu.
tion said the CAA has granted 6

climax to his address last night, he
paid glowing tribute to the spiritual
inspiration which cathedrals play in
