Mail planes shutting over short dis
tances may reach speeds of 1000
miles per hour within the next three
years, according to officials of the
National Advisory Committee for

And seaplanes of the transport
class are expected to attain speeds
in excess of 300 miles per hour with
in three years, the NACA spokesman
told members of the Aviation
Writers Association during a recent
inspection tour of NACA laboratories
here.
Stripping off its six-year-old cloak
of secrecy imposed by the war, the
NACA showed the writer's numerous
experiments being conducted for
the advancement of military and
commercial aviation. Some of the
laboratory apparatus made the fan
tastic gadgets of contemporary
comic strips look like left-overs
from the horse-and-buggy days.
Among the sights the writers were
shown:

9 BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-THE con-
ference of President Truman and
Prime Minister Attlee on the atomic
bomb gave Albert of Fifth avenue
an idea-a coiffure to perpetuate
the historic event.
His Atom in Peace" hair-do was
one of the startling innovations on
display today at the first postwar
convention of the Hair Fashion
Council of America.
AS modelled by Miss Sarah Frye,
the hair-do starts normally enough
but keeps on going up and up-the
style is slightly reminiscent OF Zulu
fashions until it breaks at a high
peak. That, Albert confided, was
the explosion of the atom.
The stylist said he decided when the
President and Mr.. Attlee conferred
that the time had come for him to
do something about the bomb. AS

Manager Says FPHA
Official Ordered Him
To Reduce Personnel

James T. Gobbel, manager of the
Greenbelt community, said today
he will not resign, as requested by
Oliver c. Winston, general field of
flee director of the Federal Public
Housing Administration.
Mr.. Gobbel told meeting of
more than 100 Greenbelt residents,
called yesterday by Mayor George
D. Bauer to investigate rulrnors that
he was being ousted, that Mr.. Win
ston had given "inefflciency and
lack of corporation" as reasons for
requesting the resignation.
Mr.. Winston said today he would
make no comment on the situa-
tion.
Ordered to Cut Staff.
Mr.. Gobbel said the "ineficiency
and lack of cooperation" consisted
of a refusal to accept orders to
cut personnel without an argument.
He said Mr. Winston ordered him
to curtail the Greenbelt operating
staff from 1874 to SO, to reduce all
project services and place employees
on a flve-day week.
He pointed out that during the
war 1000 emergency housing units
were added to the original 1886 units
at the project and that it would be
to handle the increased
work load with a reduced staff. He
added that the community ended
the year with a 100000 surplus, so
the reduction was not an economy
measure.
Allen D. Morrison, Greenbelt
Council member, said 900 veterans
now are waiting for homes at
Greenbelt. He said there have been
more than 10000 vacancy days at
the project during the last six
because there are not
enough painters employed by the
project to redecorate homes for new
occupants.
Only Six Painters Employed.
He said the number of painters
has been reduced from Is
to six, and that these cannot pos
sibly turn out all the work re-
quired."

of Correction, announced yester-
day he had presented the commits
sion with such plan and had asked
for personnel to direct the program.
Mr.. Biddison said he felt there
was definitely a need of both edu-
cation and recreation at the institu-
ton because now there is nothing
to occupy the youths in their leisure
time.
THE program at Jessups," Mr..
Biddison said, would have to be
adjusted to meet the physical limi-
tations of that institution which
has no gymnasium such as that of
the State Reformatory. The educa-
tional program would have to be
such as could be given by the leader
who might be employed for that
purpose, and at the present we
could not hope to offer such an ex-
tensive program as would meet the
needs Of the entire prison popula-
ton.
But I understand at Jessups
there is large group of illiterates
and certainly these could be reach
