Appeal Court Weighs
Dismissal Of Boxers Suit

The United States Court of Ap-
peals yesterday took under advise
ment an appeal from dismissal of a
suit in District Court last June
which had sought to enjoin the Dis
trict Amateur Athletic Union from
preventing colored athletes from
participating with white athletes in
events sanction by the AAU.
Five local amateur colored boxers,
who were plaintiffs in the suit, asked
particularly that the District AAU
be restrained from certifying to the
National AAU the names of winners
o. District boxing tournament held
January and February, l945. This
was asked on the grounds that COL
ored persons had been prevented
from participating.
In a brief memorandum opinion,
District Court had held the question
was moot; that there was mo pres
ent controversy subject to judicial
determination" pointing out that
the boxing competition was in the
past.
The Court Of Appeals took the ap-
peal under advisement after hearing

British Study Of W
Shows Nazis Planned
Bombardment Of u, s
By THOMAS r. HENRY,

Complete details of the history of
the flying telegraph pole"-the W.
rocket that first crashed on London
September 8, 1914, and that re-
manned the most nsational weapon
introduced by the Germans in the
war-have now been obtained by
British intelligence and Raj ex-
perts.
The details have just been pub
lished by the Royal Aero Club of
London after the removal of security
restrictions. 1t is also disclosed the
Germans considered plans for a
rocket bombardment of American
cities.
The big, noiseless rocket bomb that
succeeded the buzz bomb was de-
veloped at the so-called Peenemuende
Institute on the German island of
Usedom in the Baltic. The investiga-
tions revealed that as early as 1888
a Gen. Dornberger and an eminent
German scientist. Prof. Wernher
Won Braun, had developed a $780,
pound liquid fuel rocket that reached
an altitude of $500 feet.
Reached 10000 Feet.
The next step was a much larger
rocket, weighing 1850 pounds. In
1888 1t had been developed to the
point where it reached an altitude
of 10000 feet and had a range of
about II miles.
Apparently the next design was
known to the Germans as the fern.
rokete," ;" which was very similar tc
the Va. The first one was free
July 6, 1942, rose just feet, ano
then exploded, destroying the
launching site. The second and thirc
to be fired exploded at an altitude
of about 10000 feet. The fourth
fired in October, 1912, covered g
range of ITO miles.
Then, according to the report oi
the Royal Aero Club, which has
just been summarized by the Mas
sachusettS Institute of Technology
came a series of l3 disappointments
Many of the rockets broke UP ir
the air only a few seconds after
take-off. From then on, however
they performed well and in 100 ex-
perimental firings only one in five
failed to function.
Long before the end of the wal
the Germans had in mind an 85-tor
rocket that would be used as the
first step in propelling rocket SIM
liar to the va, against American
cities. The trip from Germany
would have taken half an hour over
3,500-mile range.
Many Developments Under Way.
The Germans had many rocket
developments under way when their
factories were captured by the AL
lies. One of the most interesting
was a piloted antiaircraft rocket
that was a combination of rocket
afrplane and straight rocket. It
was known as the Viper. The power
plant was a large liquid-fuel rocket
motor. The device took off with
the aid of several booster powder
rockets from a vertical launching
rack.
During the vertical ascent the pi-
lot was inactive, but when he had
reached a desired altitude he was
supposed to level off the Viper and
dash into an Allied bomber forma-
tions Then he was to fire "a projec-
tile rockets. At this point the
Viper would break in two. The pilot
would be thrown out, equipped with
parachute.
The large rocket motor also was

Northern Lights Seen Here;
Another Display Due oniqht

Rarely seen Northern Lights were
observed here early today in the
first display in this area since Sep
tember, 1941.
Experts say the Aurora Borealis
was caused by a Severe magnetic
storm" which, in turn, was a result
of sunSpot activity.
On Monday the Naval Observa-
tory reported an unusually large
sunspot, described as twice the size
of the 1941 spot. According to the
observatory, a check today shows
the spot has decreased in size.
A sunSpot is an area of cooling
gas that has been expelled from the
sun, it was explained. From this
mass, charges of atoms and mole
|cules are sent earthward, bringing
about a magnetic storm which
causes the Northern Lights.

The United States delegation met
today and generally favored the idea
of allowing the selection of per-
manent site to slide for a time If
that would help solve the present
difficulty.
American delegates said New York
probably would become temporary
headquarters as matters stood.
Since the United Nations will be in
temporary quarters three to five
years it was suggested that the
choice of the permanent site might
profitably be put aside for many
months.
However, the delegation remains
officially neutral.

Never Heard Of Order
To Destroy Code Data,
Capt. Kramer Testifies
Tells Probers He Thinks
Winds Code Message
Wus False Alarm
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Capt. A. D. Kramer told Pearl
Harbor investigators today he
never heard of any order for
Navy Department personnel to
destroy personal memoranda
concerning events preceding
Japan's attack December 7, 1941
Capt. L. F. Stafford has testified
there was such an order.
Belief that a supposed winds
code" war warning from Tokyo in
tercepted by the Navy two days be-
fore Pearl Harbor was a "false
ALARM" a regular weather broadcast
mistaken for a hidden meassage, was
expressed earlier by Capt. Kramer
chief of the Nays secret translation
section in 1871.
Can't Remember Contents.
At the time, Capt. Kramer ad-
nitted. he had supposed it was an
authentic execution of the weather
code for which every one was watch
ing, though he had seen the message
for no more than Is seconds and
never could remember exactly what
it was.
Capt. Stafford, who was Capt. Kra.
mer's immediate superior in the
naval communications Office at the
time of the japanese attack, hao
identified the message as a genuine
winds code war warning. If it hao
been sent to the fleet command wher
it arrived-and Capt. Stafford fixed
the date at December 4, three days
before Pearl Harbor-the destruc-
ton at the Hawaiian base might
have been averted, he said.
Capt. Kramer, when questioned
by Representative Cooper, Democrat
of Tennessee, denied that he evel
joined Capt. Stafford in the cam

as a means of meeting of the wage
deadlock which now faces the coun-
try rather than a materially new
formula. He said he believed plans
could be worked out in the next day
or so.
The President will confer at $3.50
pm. today with Philip Murray,
president of the CIO and the steel
workers union.
Production Key to Situation
The whole problem confronting
the Nation, the President said, was
primarily one of production and the
people are aware of the need for
production. Once we get mass pro-
duction, he continued, the whole
situation will adjust itself and there
will be no further need for a price
wage formula.
Mr.. Truman asserted that current
stabilization policy would have
worked had the country's factories
turned out the volume of goods ex-
pected of them. Strikes and dis
putes slowed reconversion and now
the price line will be eased in the
interests of peace and full produs-
ton, he indicated.
Earlier today, Federal officials
had predicted an early end of the
industry-pa -paralyzing steel walkout
as a result of secret sessions
held here between officials of the
United States Steel Corp. and the
CIO United Steel Workers and be-
cause the Government has made
price concessions that apparently are
acceptable to big Steel"
Basis of the steel settlement, it
was said, will be the 1914 -cents-an-
hour wage increase suggested by
Mr.. Truman and a price increase to
the industry of around S. a ton."
Officials refused to be pinned down
either on the precise amount of the
steel price increase or the exact
date they thought strike settle
ment would be announced. A high
