A-bomb Cuts Future Wars
 Will Make Them
 Less Destructive

Boston, Sept. Bradley Dewey, an official observer at the B1kini tests, asserts that the atomic bomb, instead of destroying civiliza- tlon, may shorten future wars and make them less destructive.
 The wartime rubber director told the 12th National Conference on As sessment Administration last night that series of battles lasting as long as World War II would be impossible With the new Super-Weapon.
 An observer of the Bikini experi- ments as member of both the pres ident's and the joint chiefs of staff evaluation boards, Dewey claimed defense against the bomb was inn possible.
 Science will not today, tomorrow or ever, find material which will shelter man, munitions plants or dock yards from the effects of the atomic bomb" he said.
 Dewey said any one nation, sim ply by possessing atomic weapons, conld insure the peace of the world.
 "A nation sure of its own freedom from the temptation to wage ag- gressive war, which has a supply of atomic weapons and the means to deliver them" he said, "can rest as-

The Navy Legion of Merit medal will be awarded Commander John F. Robinson, State Director of Selective Service, at 1O:OO A. M. on Tuesday. October 1st in the Old Senate Chamber of the State Capi- tol. A representative from Wash ington, with Governor Raymond E.

 Last May, the Commander was awarded the Army Commentator Ribbon in recognition of meritorious service to the Army.
 Appointed State Director in 1922 Commander Robinson, during the war, had the difficult task of sup plying men for the Army, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard and at the same time leave enough men in the war industries of Connecticut to maintain the production sched- ules for the manufacture of sub marines, planes, ball bearings and all other types of armaments for all the Armed Forces.
 The Commander now an Terminal Leave from the Navy was reap pointed by President Truman to be State Director of Selective Service as civilian on August 2l, l946.

about II years for the maximum to be reached.
 Stewart, professor of astronom- 1cal physics, has been studying sun spots for about 25 years, and he and George s. Baldwin, Jr., a Princeton undergraduate of Brookline, Mass, recently devised 8 formula on which they based the prediction that the present cycle of sun spots would reach its maximum by about the end of 1947.
 Always Bothered
 The planets in this universe have always been bothered with sun spots, but they have been more noticeable on earth since the com- ing of the radio.
 Stewart said the maximum num- Der of spots counted on the sun in one day during this coming peak may reach 133 or higher, 100 is usually considered high and 15O 'very high"
 Even at that, the highest num- Der of spots ever recorded in one Ody GOGdI1CN 1cSS UIld1l one percent of the suns visible surface. Some of the spots are larger than the earth.
 Little Known About Spots
 Astronomers don't know too much about the sun spots, but they be- lleve they are huge hurricane winds and storms sweeping over the visi- ble surface of the sun.
 Stewart said that the spots proba- ply are the cause of electrified corpuscles" some Of which penetrate the earth's atmosphere, playing havoc with the orderly state of electronic affairs.
 It is theoretically possible that the sun could be turned into one big spot. In such a case, the sun would have a red glare, rather than it's yellow color.
 Such phenomena also might cause Arctic conditions on the earth. That would be bad, scien- tists agree.

Ten YeGrs to Clear Cologne Germans WILL HaUe to Work

many air raids, the city suffered from heavy ground fighting in the outskirts.
 City Almost Complete Wreck
 The result was the almost com plete wreckage of the inner city the area inside the semicircular Ring Road" which starts and ends on the east bank of the east bank of the Rhine. Scarcely a building from the famous Cathedral to the tiny houses in the narrow alleys escaped serious damage.
 In the city as whole, 80 per cent of the buildings were damaged. Before the war, Cologne had large tourist trade. To accommodate visi- tors, it had 1000 hotel rooms. Only 100 are left. The largest hotel has Is rooms intact.
 Cologne's prewar population of 762,000 shrank to 10000 at the time of the city's fall, but now has risen to 520,000h The housing problem is prodigious. It is aggravated by lack of labor and all kinds of building materials-except salvaged bricks.
 The war left 12,O00,OOO tons of rubble in Colonge, plus the jagged walls which jut from the wreckage. At first, the debris merely was shoveled out of the streets to per- init a resumption of traffic.
 Bubble Almost lmmOvable
 Rain and snun have melted down" this mass into a putty-like substance lace dwith stone, steel and wood. It has become an almost immovable whole.
 Under voluntary rubble clear ance program, every man between 18 and 60, and every woman be- tween 18 and 45 is asked to contri- bute nine-hour work day every four months.
 Ninety-two percent of the able bodied residents of Cologne work their share. But unless the job can be speeded, children of 8 will be summoned to the task.

Astronomer Says Sun Spots To Vex Earth Another Year

Princeton, N. J., Sept. 27-{UP)- Spots on the sun, some of them as big as the earth, will continue to disrupt radio, wireless and telegraph facilities for at least another year, Dr. John o. Stewart, Princeton University astronomer, said today.
 And even then the world will get only a comparatively brief respite from this solar phenomena. That's the way it goes with these pesSy sun spots, Stewart explained. one cycle is no more completed than another one starts. It usually takes nonsense" to Hencken, tall, robust man who takes his bones very ser- iously and carries chisei in his vest pocket instead of a fountain pen

wasn't surprising considering Arth- ur's apparently notorious history. Seems everywhere Arthur's remains were shipped on the European con- tinent unpleasant things happened to people-but never to Arthur.
 "Take Arthur's arrival in England during the blitz," Doctor Hencken said. Seemed as though the only safe place to hide him was in the Royal College of Surgeons - the Germans appeared to be leaving that alone.
 Well" the doctor said glumly, i've shipped Arthur in nnd the Luftwaffe took that night to blow the place apart. No one was eX- actly superstitious about it, but we thought it would be better to move Arthur to 8 safer place-a nearby cellar
 Bones Submerged
 It seems Arthur's new residence became the German target for the following night. A third move, to an even deeper cellar, ended in another immediate bombing-only this time Arthur was submerged in 10 feet of water from bursting mains and it was a week before his indestructible bones could be recovered
 With the end of the war" Hen cken said a little wearily i've thought our troubles were over. We had him shipped to America. As usual, he got here all right, but the ship-well, it was the American Farmer, the one that was deserted at sea on its return trip"

 just completed a 13-day trip
 through southern and western
 Russia, visiting the Ukraine,
 White Russia and the heavy
 industrial region of the Don-
 bas, the Pittsburgh" of the
 Soviet Union. His first dis
 patch reports that these regions face crisis when UNRRA sup
 port ends Jan. l, 1947.
 By M. S. HANDLER
 Moscow, Sept. 2 - CUP)-The Soviet Ukraine, Russia's richest farming region and site of the Soviet Pittsburgh" biggest pre- war iron-steel-coal complex, faces a major crisis when UNRRA ends Jan. 1, 1947, Ukraine officials re- vealed to American correspondents on the first extensive tour of the area since the end of the war.
 In the city of Stalino, heart ot the heavily industrialized Donbas area, we met with a group of local officials and plant managers 10 learn their plans for rehabilitation and rebuilding.
 What plans have you made to fill the gap once UNRRA supplies cease?" we asked.
 At first officials didn't get the point Yakov Kremnev, state plan ner for the city, asked: But why should they cease?"
 Officials Surprised UNRRA Closing
 We explained that UNRRA is drawing to the close of its legal life. No one in Stalino had heard this. One after another the officials ex- pressed their consternation and surprise. One said bitterly: "The Ukrainian people have paid a high enough price during war to deserve help"
 They admitted readily if UNRRA help is withdrawn they face major crisis. Up to 50 percent of the but ter, lard, meat and other major food items in the diet of the Ukraine's industrial workers has been provided by UNRRA.
 It will be 1948 or 1850 before Ukraine farms will be raising enough food to meet the present diet level, officials estimated.
 How the gap between the end of UNRRA and the beginning of full scale Soviet food production is to be bridged no one in the Ukraine had any notion since they didn't even visualize the possibility of UNRRA's end.
 UNRRA Supplies 95 Percent
 In the ration food stores of Sta lino, Voroshilovgrad and elsewhere grocery managers showed us shelves almost entirely filled with UNRRA goods. They said that up to 95 per- cent of their retail supplies came from UNRRA.
 Half of UNRRA's $10O, 100000 food program for the Ukraine was earmarked for the Donbas. Only $10,0OO,O0O to $15,OOO,OO0 of the Ukraine food supplies remain to be delivered. Next year UNRRA will provide the remainder of it's $47,- 100000 commitment for industrial machinery and $17,5o0,00O in farm machinery.
 The role being played by UNRRA and American equipment in getting the Ukraine ticking has to be seen to be appreciated.

Summo Given Wage Boord Appointment
 Reconsideration
 Of Present Scole
 To Be Undertaken

Joseph J. Summa of Waterbury, State President of the Journey mems Barbers Union, has been named to a State Beauty Shop Board which will consider revision of the minimum wage order, it was announced today by State Labor Commissioner John J. Egan.
 The Board, composed of nine members, will reconsider the wages set March 3, 1941 for adult men and women and for minor employees in the beauty shop industry lin the light of changed economic condi- tions which now prevail" Commis- sioner Egan said.
 An organizat jon meeting of the Board was held last Monday in Hartford, it was disclosed. The next session has been scheduled for Oct. T, and a public meeting will be ar- ranged at an early date, the state labor official said
 MT. Summa and two other mem bers, Miss Ann Boucher of New Haven and Miss Doris Leblanc of Hartford, were named to represent employeS.
 Employers will be represented by Mrs Mary B. Holmes of New Ha- ven, Mrs Julia Adams of Shelton, and Salem Smith of New London. Representing the public will be Mrs. John Larus of Hartford, who is in charge of the legislative program of the League of Women Voters; Mrs. E. O. Anderson, a member of the school board in Mansfield; and the Rev. Merrill F. Clarke of New Canaan
 The last Legislature reduced the working hours of women and minors employed in beauty shops from 52 to 48 hours weekly. Con- missioner Egan said the reduced work week will of necessity be con- sidered by the Board in setting the overtime provisions.
