and burned and the, exhaust goes
out through the rear opening.
The engine is not operative until
1t reaches high speed and this in
wolves special launching devices,
the type and nature of which the
Navy said is still secret. In its use
on planes, the aircraft would have
to be pukhed up to high speed be-
fore the lam jet could be placed in
use, it was said.
The ram jet is the first step be-
yond the turbo-jet, which is a COM
plicated piece of machinery, includ-
ing a compressor. The new engine
weighs only 10 pounds. Taking
oxygen from the air through which
it passes, it has a distinct advantage
over the German W. robot bomb
engine which had to carry 5ls tons
of liquid oxygen, and four tons of
fuel. This would give the ram jet
a much greater range about which
the Nay is not yet ready to say
anything.
While the Navy said that the
modified T'hunderbolt exhaust pipe
produced 5000 horsepower, more
than the horsepower of the conven-
tional engine from which it was de-
tached, scientists who explained the
jet to newsmen at the Navy Depart
ment said the term horsepower is
being replaced in referring to the
ram jet by that of pounds thrust. :"
The postwar collaboration of
Johns Hopkins University with the
Bureau of Ordnance" Vice Admiral
George F. Hussey, jr., chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance, said in dis
cussing the new engine, provides a
pattern for maintenance of demo-
cratic principles in providing for the
defense of the Nation. Here is no
dictatorship of the military over the
scientists, but working
partnership in which a civilian uni
versity takes the lead in assuming
postwar responsibilities.
The idea for the ram jet was first
set forth, the Navy said, by a French
scientist named Lorin in 1913. SUBJ
sequent discoveries in the field of
supersonic aerodynamics enabled
modern scientists to see in his theory
the fast engine of the future.
The Applied Physics Laboratory of
Johns Hopkins undertook the de-
velopment of the ram jet in Janu-
ary, 1945, at the request of the
Bureau of Ordnance. Six weeks later
the first models were launched
cold" for drag measurements, and
by June, l945, ram jets were de-
livering thrust. Development work
is continuing to improve perform
ance and reliability.
The Navy envisioned ram jets of
the future not as the sole power
plant of an airplane but to take
over the high speed range after
other methods had pushed the plane
to about 800 miles an hour.
Hinting at even more fantistic
speeds and power in models still be-
hind the curtain of security, scien-
lists who helped develop the ram

the Palestine issue.
The French government denied
two months ago that the grand

France, although repeated attempts
to reach him for a statement were
rebuffed.
AS late as this morning another
attempt was made to reach him at
Rambouillet, about 80 miles south
west Of Paris, where Husseini has
been living in seclusion. A govern

On June 3, Husseini appealed in
a message from Paris to the people
of the Arab world Ito stand firm
in opposition to Zionism. Jamal AL
Husseini, the mufti's nephew, said
in Jerusalem, however, the message
gave no indication of the mufti's
possible intention to return shortly
to the Eastern Mediterranean
For years Husseini, who is SO
years old, has led the Arab struggle
for independence for Palestine and
against a national home there for
the Jews.
The Office of Mufti had been in
his family for about 70 years when
he received it in 1921 by appoint

New Greek Disorders
Reported With Reds
Roaming Macedonia
BY The Assoeiofsd Pres,

ATHENS, June 8.-New disor-
ders were reported in Greece
today in the wake of the royal
ist governments drastic decree
providing death sentences for
action against the state, and the
Communists charged in a formal
statement that the step could
lead "only to civil war"
The Ministry Of Public Order, as
serting that 1913 persons, including
II gendarmes and three soldiers, had
been slain in armed attacks since
April /, said roaming bands Of
Communists had created a "desper-
ate" situation in the Edessa district
Of Western Macedonia in new out
breaks.
Twelve Communists, alleged to
have been planning to re-establish
the outlawed EAM-KKE police
force, were arrested in Athens last
night, the ministry added.
High Treason Charged.
Premier Constantin Tsaldaris, in
support Of the decree which estab-
fishes summary courts empowered
to pass death sentences on any one
using arms against soldiers or the
police, declared the government
could no longer tolerate such a
state Of terrorism on the part of
the enemies of the state. It has
been clearly shown that these &C
tions constitute high treason against
the fatherland and cannot 20
without punishment"
The leftist- dominated General
Confederation Of Labor asserted that
the new decree was "a revival of
Fascism and the government is un-
loosing an open Fascist attack
against the workers."
The Communists formal state
ment said execution of the new
emergency measures could lead "only
to civil war" and also charged the
action as "Fascism."
In addition to the 1913 persons
slain since April /. said the Ministry
of Public Order, IA gendarmerie sta
tions underwent armed attack and
three were set on fire by the Com
munistS.
The ministry said all traffic
among eight villages in the Edessa
district OF Western Macedonia and
Southern Yugoslavia had been
halted by marauding bands of Com
munists and autonomists. All eight
mayors have resigned and local au-
thorlties have sent kilograms to
Athens describing the situation as
desperate" the ministry said.
Next Trouble Spot Pointed Out.
The Phlorina- -Edessa -Kastoria tri-
angle near the Southern Yugoslay
border, where most of the disorders
were reported, was described re-
Gently by an Allied military OBJ
server as "GreeceS next trouble
spot"
Leftist groups and Macedonians
agitating for union with their breth-
rem in Yugoslavia and Bulgaria
have been active in Northern
Greece. The government has
charged existence of an active Slav
minority in the area and infAtra-
ton of former members of the Elias
leftist resistance organization which
participated in Greece's- civil war
after the liberation. across the
Yugoslav border.
