WEATHER SCANNED FOR ATOMIC BOMB
 TEST DURING JULY

KWAJALEIN, Marshall Islands, May 1.--July's capricious weather makes the forthcoming atomic bomb tests multi-million dollar gamble. It could even cancel out all the months of preparation by the joint Army-Navy Task Force, officers acknowledge.
 For weather observers are gamb- ling on finding "one perfect day" m the first 20 days of the month, when all conditions would be favor able for observation, photography and scientific study of the explo- sion.
 Postponement of the tests from May to July means they will be held during the first of the central Pacific's summer storms, and the meteorological experts are worried
 On the basis of past meteoroiogi- cal records, they figure these odds against good weather for the tests:
 There IS only one chance in 20 that ideal weather will prevail for 24 hours during the first 20 days of July
 There are only three chances in 20 that the weather, while not per- feet, vii meet test requirements.
 There promises to be only seven days of this period during which the weather can be regarded as op- erational for aircraft.

GREATER ATOMIC
 ENERGY TYPE E
 BEING DEVELOPED

BUFFALO. N. Y, May l. = Re- search workers are developing a type of atomic energy which will dwarf the atomic bombs that brought Japan to her knees," says Dr. Marion L. Pool of the Depart ment of Physics and Astronomy of Ohio State University.
 Addressing the American Ceramic Society yesterday at is 48th annual meeting, pr. Pool said that while scientists did not know yet just what the energy type, called Me son was, they knew it to be many times more powerful than the en- ergy of atomic bombs produced to- date.
 We are just at the beginning of ] new era of atomic energy" Dr. Pool continued.

 He told a Cook County Teachers Institute that gum chewing "grinds off" the nervous tension of city life and that stick of gum given to each child would enable him to work off a tremendous amount of energy.

Lax Sugar Control
Charged 70 A. & P.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. THE Once
of Price Administration today
charged in Federal Court LAX and
inadequate control" of sugar distri-
button in 5000 stores of the Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co.
The charge was contained in a
complaint which asked for a perma-
nent injunction to restrain the firm
from allegedly continuing to violate
sugar rationing.
The OPA said the company was
short 1851 PSI pounds of sugar in
its allowable inventory as of August
81, 1945..
Callman Gottesman, chief OPA
area enforcement attorney, said the
Federal agency did not seek to in
woke the usual practice to suspend
the A. & P. from the right to deal
in sugar until the alleged shortage
was made up.
He said, "A suspension action
would cause undue hardship to con-
sumers in areas where the A. g. p.
stores were the only available re-
tail outlet"
The injunction would compel the
A. & P. to maintain tighter control
in all its stores, Mr.. Gottesman said.
It also would prohibit the firm from
delivering sugar to its retail stores
unless these surrendered sugar ra-
ton currency before or at the time
of delivery.
Hearing was set for February 10.
In a statement A. & p. said
This action has been brought de-
spite A. & P.'s most earnest efforts
to adhere meticulously to the spirit,
as well as the letter, of OPA regula-
tions and is due not to any fault of
the company but to shrinkage un-
avoidable in the handling of sugar,
as every housewife and storekeeper
knows"

Johns Hopkins Land
Ruled Tax EXEMPT
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. THE
Maryland Court of Appeals ruled
yesterday that two parcels of land
near Silver Spring held by Johns
Hopkins University to carry on Fed
eral wartime research were not SUBJ
ject to taxes.
Relying almost entirely on a pre-
viously decided Mesta Machine Co.
case in the Johns Hopkins tax ruling,
the court held:
That the title to Government
property may be in "an Office, an
agent or a contractor. His personal
advantages from the relationship by
way Of salary, profit or beneficial
personal use of the property may be
taxed as we have held. But neither
he nor the Government can be taxed
for the Governments property in
terest."
In the Mesta case, Pennsylvania
authorities tried to tax heavy ma
chinery which was held by Mesta
for Government use.

liquor officials and grain dealers

mans order for discontinuance OF
the wheat in the direct production
of alcohol and beer.
Approximately 1000 persons
would be affected by the shutdown
The order, limiting the use OF
other grains for the production OF
beverage alcohol as of March to
five days consumption per month
would be impractical because of a

could only use corn and milo, but
they can't buy either of these as

This worked a tremendous hard

Before action was taken the

starting eviction proceedings when
the demands are not met. The

these people came to u.s. Mr..
Heiser said an investigation would
be made of complaints.
One downtown mems store op-
orator, he said, explained that
soon after the building in which
his shop was located had been sold
the new owner raised the rent from
81, 200 to $4,000.
A beauty parlor owner said the
real estate agent from whom she
rents recently asked a 100 per cent
rent increase and threatened evic-
ton unless the new rental was paid.
A dress shop proprietor said his
landlord "heckled" him for a rent
increase in front of customers. A
transfer company spokesman said
the firm had been evicted from four
warehouses after it had refused to
pay a rent increase of from $3.50
to $500 a month. An offer of $400
monthly was refused, he said.

the three or four big real estate
operators here"
He said rents have increased as
much as TOO per cent on CONNER
