Referring apparently to German
advances in the perfection of
V-bombs and jet-propelled aircraft,
Gen. Lemay said that after the COL
lapse of Germany it was found the
United States was years behind
IN some fundamental phases of
aeronauticS. Virtually all Amer
ican facilities had to be used in
the production of bombers and
fighters, he noted.
New Age of Development.
1--WE are entering a new age of
development-a very expensive
age" Gen. Lemay said. I'VE can
no longer depend on letting small
contracts to companies for the
development of our weapons. The
required equipment would entail too
great an expenditure for most con-
Germs. We must now furnish the
tools for doing this work.
The center should be available
to all civilian agencies which are
devoted to the development of avia-
ton. 1t will not encroach upon
the fields of either research or
production, but will perform the
function between these two fields. I"
Immediate planning, he advised,
must be projected far beyond the
possibilities known today for the
pilotless aircraft, winged missiles,
jet propulsion, radar and atomic
bombs left from World War II.

BY the Associated Pres,

Immediate construction of a
S3O0,000,000 air engineering devel-
opment center to fashion fantastic
aerial weapons for the atomic age
was proposed yesterday by the
Army Air Forces.
Disclosing hitherto confidential
plans, Maj Gen. Curtis E. Lemay
asserted the center was necessary
to the defense of the Nation and
indispensable if we are to main
tain supremacy in the air." Reports
of the undertaking previously had
been voiced from Capitol Hill.
The proposal calls for 100 square
miles of laboratories and special IA
cllltieS, including five wind tunnels.
to apply the results of research and
invention to the development of
such weapons as aircraft faster
than sound, winged missiles of
meteor-like speed, atomic power
engines, and space vehicles and
space bases" for use above the
earth's atmosphere.
Separate from Wright Field.
1t would be separate from Wright
Field at Dayton, Ohio, present AAF
headquarters for research and de-
velopment, which Gen. LeMay said
could not provide space and power
for the additional installations.
Gen Lemay, deputy chief of the
AAF air staff for research and
development, said s3oO,O0o,OOO was
the estimated cost of the site and
initial construction only. He did

FOR ALL
RABIES

Since dogs run about in the oper
more in the summer than in the
winter and, consequently, there are
apt to be more dog bites In the
warm months, people generally sup
pose that rabies is most common in
summer.
Actually. the disease Is more preva-
lent in cold weather. However rabies
may occur at an ytime of the year
and word about the disease now
may occur at any time of the year
dog bites are more common in the
summer and dog bites cause people
to think Of rabies.
Rabies, or hydrophobia, is an in
fictitious disease communicated to
man by the bite of certain animals,
most frequently the dog, which have
heen infected with the virus caus-
ing the disease. 1t develops when
the virus, travelling along mans
nervous system, reaches the brain.
Every human being who is bitten
by a dog does not, of course, get
rabies. There is danger only if the
dog is mad" ana even then the
disease will not develop if the proper
preventative measures are taken.
Since no method has been found to
cure rabies, it is of the utmost i'm
portance to prevent it and to re-
member that it can be prevented
incubation with serum first US
ed by Louis Pasteur, or modification
of this serum, creates immunity to

the disease and is recommended il
there is any doubt as to whether the
dog which inflicted the bite was
rabid.
If there is the slightest question
about the condition of a dog which
bites a human being, call a doctor
or the health department immediate
ly. Meanwhile, wash the wound
thoroughly with soap and water.
Every effort should be made to
catch the dog, which should then be
turned over to the health officer.
Do not kill the dog. The health
officer will keep the animal under
observation until it can be determined
whether or not the dog was mad.
Rabies developes within short time
in dogs. If the dog was not mad,
there in no danger that rabies will
develop in the human being.
The doctor may advise incubation
regardless. By all means follow his
advise. It takes six weeks or so for
the disease to develop in man. If
treatment is begun at once, it can
be prevented.
The bite OF mad dog is particu-
larly dangerous if it is on the face
or neck, the hands and any other
exposed part of the body.

down. With the wind behind it, balls
of burning pitch and branches do
leap hundreds of yards ahead of the
main blaze to ignite new spot fires
wherever they alight. And strong
wind is not essential to make a, fire
dangerous. A big blaze, once started,
creates its own draft, itself pulling in
the oxygen it needs.
