Until Germans Are

The Army will continue admins

zone in Germany until a central
German administration is set up for
the entire country, Secretary Of
State Byrnes said today.
He said President Truman and Gen
Eisenhower, Army Chief of Staff
agreed with him that it would be
unwise to carry out, Immediately
plans for transferring administra-
tive control to an American civilian
agency.
On Gen. Eisenhower's recommen-
dation, the President had announced,
several weeks ago, that transfer
from the Army to civilian control
would be made as soon as possible
and set the deadline for next June.
Mr.. Byrnes said he had told Gen
Eisenhower early this month that
the Army is doing a splendid job in
Germany and that he believed it
should continue in control until II
was possible for a small civilian
force to take over. He explained
that will be when a central German
civilian administration is function

Wyatt Proposes Curb
On Building LOT Cost
As Aid 70 Housing
By MALCOLM LAMBORNE. Jr.

by MALCOLM LAMbOhNE, Jr.
Wilson w. Wyatt, national hous-
ing expediter, today proposed that
ceilings be placed on city building
lots as part of national program
to hold down the cost of homes for
veterans. At the same time, he gave
his Endorsement to legislation plac-
ing ceilings on new and used homes.
The housing official, who takes
over Friday as director of the Ma
tional Housing Agency with broad
powers from the President, also rec
commended to the House Banking
Committee that landlords give vet
Grams preference in all housing
vacancies and that more families of
nonveterans plan to double up in
the months ahead.
He warned that the country was
still on the threshold of a housing
emergency which would reach
crisis by summer.
Indorses Three Points.
Mr.. Wyatt gave his Endorsement
to three proposals in the bill pro-
posed by Representative Patman,
Democrat, of Texas: Setting CELL
ings on new and used homes, as
suring veterans preference in new
homes and continuing the priorities
system for building of low-cost
units. Ceilings, he said, were essen
tial if the housing industry is to
avoid "the boom and bust" days
of the 1920s.
In suggesting some form of CELL
ings on urban land, Mr.. Wyatt point
ed out land was the largest single
cost item in producing a home. He
added that "a bulge" may occur, if
building materials and the finished
home were held down without some
control over the cost of the land.
Mr.. Wyatt took no stand on the
Patman proposal to authorize sub
sides for certain building manu-
facturers, but said this would be
spelled out" in a two-year housing
program report now being prepared
for the President. He said he hoped
to complete the report in few days.
Meanwhile Senator Mead, Demo-
crat, of New York has introduced a
bill to provide more housing for
veterans attending educational in
stitutions under the CT Bill of
Rights.
Veterans Get 10000.
Senator Mead pointed out that on
December 81 legislation was approx
ed by the President appropriating
approximately $4,000, 900 for trans
fer of temporary war housing units
where needed by servicemen and
their families. OF the 100000 hous-
ing units provided for under this
measure, only 10000 were allocated
for use of veterans attending
schools, he said.
His bill would authorize the Ma
tional Housing Agency to provide
suitable housing in sufficient guam
tity and will provide the necessary
funds 20 carry out the program.
Senator Mead said three out of
every four schools report they face a
serious housing shortage for vet

Meat Plants 10 Start
Delivery Tomorrow
As Receipts Increase
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. Jan. 29-Rows of car
casses spiked on slaughter house
hooks and stockyard pens jammed
with noisy livestock today pictured
the return of the Nations meat in
dustry to near normal operations.
Refrigerators in some retail shops
might still be bare, but that was
only because of a time lag between
the dressing and processing of the
steaks and chops and their dis
tribution to the trade.
Government spokesmen said major
packing houses-now run by the
Agriculture Department as the aft
ermath of an 1l-day strike-should
begin deliveries no later than TO-
morrow and the flow. of meat to the
Nations tables was expected to be
back to prestrike figures soon after.
$4,000 Head Received.
The country's 20 biggest stock
yards showed receipts yesterday of
297 900 meat animals, compared with
139, 900 a week earlier.
Gayle G. Armstrong, Government
director of the 1874 seized plants,
asked livestock shippers to check
closely with agents lin order to
avoid Cutting markets by getting
ahead of yard and plant capacity"
With the Government now in its
second day in the meat business, the
248,000 CIO and AFL workers, who
called off the wage dispute, pre-
pared to send representatives to
Washington for discussions Thurs
day before a presidential fact find
ing board.
Board to Make Report.
This board will report to Secretary
of Labor Schwellenbach its recon-
mendations on wage increases
sought by the unions. The CLIO,
which had 1893 900 members involved,
has asked 171a cents an hour pay
increase and the AFL demanded a
20-cent hourly wage boost.
The CIO sent its men back to
work only after assurances from
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
that he would apply at once for
authority to put into effect any
wage increase which might be rec
commended by the act-f1nding panel
The AFL said its members went
back to work as a temporary truce
pending wage recommendations by
the board.

Production Administration, voiced
the hope that the Government will
find it unnecessary to seize the giant
steel industry.
Mr.. Small told a news conference
the country could stand it (the steel
strike) for few days more" before
the steel famine would make it nee
esSary to seize.
Some officials still believed that
the wage settlements last Saturday
by the Ford Motor Co. and the
Chrysler Corp. with the UAW would
lead to a fairly quick agreement
at GIN.
Mr.. Dewey declared shortly after
his appointment as mediator that he
had been told "to ride this strike
out to the end" He went to Detroit
Immediately. conferred this morn
ing with c. E. Wilson, GIN president,

Allied Industries Threatened.
The giant steel strike threat
ened-if prolonged-to make idle
an additional 100000 workers in
allied industries within month.
In Michigan John L. Lovett, gen.
eral manager of the Michigan Man
Iufacturers' Association, predicted
100000 would be idle in the State
in a month if the steel strike is
not settled. His figure was pre-
sumed to include workers in the
automobile industry, one of steel's
biggest customers
In another week 10000 St. Louis
workers will be laid off for lack
of materials, said Oscar A. Ehr-
hardt, secretary of the CIO Indus
trial Council.
If the strike continues two weeks
from today, the Cleveland Chamber
,of Commerce stated, 100000 metal
and rubber workers in Northern
Ohio will be left idle. Fabricating
plants employing 100000 in Con-
necticut will be forced to shut down
If the stoppage lasts another three
weeks, the State Manufacturing As
sociation foreSaw.
/ Already 41,450 workers in mines
Irailroading and steel fabrication
have been laid off in plants closing
because of the steel walkout. Thou
sands OF other workers in other
States than those named were ex-
lpected to be affected. Throughout
the country labor disputes kept idle
approximately 100000 workers.

Return of Normally Here
Not Expected for Week

Lack of meat supplies at the three
large meat-packing plants here is
keeping at least so per cent of en-
ployes from returning to work as
packers predict at least another week
or 10 days will be required before
supplies are back to normal.
All 200 members of Local 1893,
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen, are expected back
on the job by the first of the week,
however.
Spokesman for Armour, Swift and
Cudahy reported little or no meat
on hand, with the exception of
smoked meats.
Shipments of meat from Chicago
may pick up by the week end, but
longer period will ensue before pre-
strike volume is reached.

warded Mr.. Hopkins with the high
est Office he had held. This was the
period of recovery following the
1887 recession and business was
calling for easing of regulations it
considered restrictive. There were
demands for an "era of good feel
ng." Mr.. Hopkins was moved into
the Commerce post, apparently with
the idea that he would become busi-
ness representative in the New
Deal.
But when his name came before
the Senate for confirmation, New
Deal foes had field day. The Sen
ate committee investigating him
heard all the charges and accusa-
tions which had been made against
him during his five years in WASH
ington.
Attacked as Wasteful.
His critics said he had been waste
full and extravagant in admipister-
ing the relief program, accused him
Of being radical and recalled his
activity in support of the Presidents S
purge program. He denied categori-
cally ever using relief for political
ends and as for the rest, he summed
up by saying:
Il have been an administrative
appointee of the President. I work
for him all the time. I believe in
him. If the Senate confirms me, it
knows in advance that it is confirm
ing some one who is devoted to the
President and the things he stands
for. 1t has been easy for me to
be loyal to the President, for l
believe in those things"
But his mission of "appeasing
business was never fulfilled. The
war crisis grew and the fight be-
tween the New Deal and business
was put aside. And then Mr.. Hop
kins' health failed again. His
stomach trouble came back and he
was stricken with flu. He went to
Florida to recuperate. In 1910 he
resigned from the cabinet, pleading
ill health"
Moved Into White House.
1t was reported that, when he
recovered, he would retire to up
state New York to take charge OF
the Roosevelt memorial library. But
there came the Nazi successes and
the President moved Mr.. Hopkins
into the White House.
The President and Mr.. Hopkins
understood each other perfectly and
no serious split ever occurred be-
tween them. A friend, explaining
this, said:
Harry will argue with the Presi-
dent, but he knows just how far he
can push him. He knows when tc
stop arguing. Once the President
has thoroughly made up his mind
you might as well butt your head ur
against a brick wall as to try tc
change it,"

take on speed so rapidly because it would be
uncomfortable for the passengers. But the
effect of their acceleration is easily noticed
just the same, if you stop to think about it.
Shut your eyes in quiet, well-designed
elevator moving at a constant speed and you
will not know that you are in motion Only
when the speed is increased or decreased will
you become aware of the fact. AS the elevator
starts and gathers speed, you have the feeling
of being pushed toward the floor; acceleration
is adding weight to your body, so that your
knees buckle When the acceleration ceases
and the speed becomes constant, your sensa-
tions return to normal. When the elevator
slows down or decelerates, you seem to be
leaving the floor. You feel lighter.
This proves that our bodies do not
know the difference between ''real'
weight, caused bv gravity, and the weight
effects caused by acceleration and de-
celeration. Passengers in interplanetary
space experiencing constant acceleration of
one gravity will mistake this acceleration for
genuine gravity. They will be deceived - for
the sake of their own comfort. Their sensa-
tions will be exactly the same as those due to
gravity on the earth's surface This also is
true of deceleration at the same rate.

We can skip them. But Others have been
offered by authentic scientists, men like the
able G. Edward Pendray of the American
Rocket Society.
These authorities necessarily deal with the
problem of reaching the moon with the means
and fuels now known and available. That
cramps their style. The rocket ships they pro-
ject become gigantic and cumbersome be-
yond the confines of practicability. To de-
liver 100 pounds of "pay load" on the moon,
Mr. Pendray has calculated the rocket plus
fuel would have to weigh, at the start at least
25566 tons! And this is reckoning for only
one-way trip. When the assignment is to in
clude human passenger and provide for
return journey, the whole scheme becomes
merely scientific abstraction.
Nearly all the moon rockets thus far de-
scribed are fired like gigantic shells out
of super gigantic cannons. AS l have
pointed out their first task is to tear away
from the earth's surface fast enough to get
through the gravitational zone and into outer
space To do that. a speed of 6.64 miles per

Flight Beyond Gravity
MosT laymen have false idea of what hap
pens in ship beyond the reach of gravity,
where everything weighs nothing. We should
not accept this literally. Though matter loses
weight, it's mass remains Therefore, while
piano may be floating freely, if it happens to
come your way it will crush you just as surely
as if you and it were on the ground.
But with fuel capable of generating almost
nexhaustble power, the whole picture chang
es. There is no call to shoot the rocket into
space as from a cannon - it can take OF
slowly, the pilot increasing the speed at
rate that the human body can take without
discomfort Most important of ALL the flight
beyond gravity will no longer be matter OF

terrupted rocket propulsion. Both speed and

does not constitute hazard; we could prob
ably travel at any speed less than the speed
of light without untoward effects. What does
affect the human body is acceleration, the rate
at which speed is increased; and decele1ation,
the rate at which speed is decreased.
1t is not speed as such, but the rate of
change in speed, that represents the hazard
to pilot and passengers in dive bombing in
stunting, or in tight banking of an airplane.

because on it depends our method of provid-
