still is partially secret.
The hydrobomb, least known of
the laboratory's projects, Is the out
growth OF an Army request for a
missile to be launched from bomb
ing plane, then propelled accurately
but at high speed under water.
Designed for launching at speeds
up to $50 miles an hour. and to
travel below the surface at 70 miles
an hour, the rocket has a range of
1000 yards and is drived by a solid
propellant.
To test a variety of designs, Cali
fornia Tech has built a towing
channel. 500 feet long. 16 feet deep
and IL feet wide, with windows
below the surface for observers to
watch the bombs in motion.
The hydro-bombs are not free, but
attached to towing carriage which
looks q little like a comic strip
rocket ship. It runs on rails, is
shinily streamlined and during the
war was powered by small rockets
because electric motors weren't t
available. The carriage can race
along at a speed exceeding 40 miles
an hour.
In charge Of the laboratory's work

NLRB 10 Air CHARGES
Against 81. PETERSBURG
Publishers Monday
BY the Associated Pres.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, June a.
"A National Labor Relations Board
hearing Of charges Of refusing to
bargain collectively and OF attempt
ing to dominate labor organization,
brought by Local $50 Of the In
ternational Typographical Union
against two st. Petersburg news
papers and their jointly-owned
printing plant, will begin here Mon
day.
The complaint was filed by the
NLRB under the Wagner Act on
behalf of the union against the
Times, the Evening Independent and
News Printing, Inc.
The charges resulted from q strike
Of union printers against the two
newspapers last November 20 after
q series Of wage conferences had
failed to settle a wage dispute and
the local had refused to arbitrate
certain production rules of the ITU
on the grounds that arbitration of
these matters was contrary to in
ternational rules.
Lie Newspapers, separately owned,
continued to publish after the strike
without printers or strikebreakers
by using a varityped photoen-
graved process.
The publishers have stated they
received no communication from
the union from the time of the
strike until December Is, when the
union notified both papers it was
increasing its demands 3 cents an
hour for both day and night work.
On January 10 the printers put a
picket line around the papers.
Two days later. the printers were
offered all the composing room jobs
in News Printing, Inc, a corpora
ton the papers organized by pooling
their equipment and resources, II the
union would agree to arbitrate its
production rules.
At that time, the publishers said,
the new printing company had not
hired any printers.
The union rejected the plan and,
after a further exchange OF pro-
posals and counter proposals, ef-
fected no settlement, the Wagner
Act charges were filed early in May.

toned against unsteady driving

tne road, passing on hills and curves,
speeding after dusk and emerging
suddenly from side roads. Motor
lists also were advised to start earlv
on both ends of trips In order to
avoid heaviest traffic.s

that total. Factors cited were an
increased volume of traffic and the
presence on roads of many cars
past their service prime.
