Bread May Rise Cent

Washington, Aug. - (UP) - Price Administrator Paul Porter and Secretary of Agriculture Clin- ton P. Anderson may decide today to boost the retail price of bread one cent loaf and the price o1 flour at least one cent a pound.
 The bread and flour price increase plan has been recommended to the two agency chiefs by OPA's food price branch following consultation with Agriculture officials.
 The price boosts would compen- sate millers and bakers for higher wheat prices and the ending of the flour subsidy. Wheat Is decontrolled under the new price control bill unless the new decontrol board puts it back under price control by Aug 20.
 The flour subsidy, which lapsed June 30, is not expected to be rein- stated. No determination has been made on whether OPA or the de- control board has the right to dror flour subsidies permanently.
 A penny-a-pound increase in flour would require higher prices on crackers, cookies and other bakery products as well as bread. The ac- tion would mean about a $1.11 price increase on flour at the mill level east of the rockies. Prices would be even higher west of the rockies be- cause of additional freight costs.

 Hos to Appoint Members of Unit

Washington, Aug. 1-CUP)-Pres- ident Truman today signed the Atomic Control Bill thus vesting in a still-to-be-appointed civilian commission almost complete author ity over domestic development of atomic energy.
 The measure became law just four days before the first anniver- sary of the atomic bombing of Hi roshima-the event which proved the fearful power of atomic fission and plunged the world into a new era.
 The five-man civilian board which MT Truman now must ap- point will be responsible for chan neling atomic force into peaeetime uses for benefit of the United States and mankind as a whole. It also will be empowered to manufacture atomic bombs, whenever the pres ident orders, and turn them over to the armed forces.
 The civilian commission automat- ically becomes heir to the labor atories and production facilities of the Arn1y's Manhattan Engineer District, the network of secret in- stallations in which the power un- leashed by nuclear fission first was harnessed by man and fashioned into the atomic bomb.
 The commission will hold virtual monopoly powers over atomic ex- perimentation and development II will own and operate all facilities for the production of fissionable materials such as Uranium 235 anc p1utonium, the ammunition fol atomic power.

Army Invodes City for Show OfEquipment
 Corovon Display
 Opens Tomorrow
 In Stote Armory

Classified Secret" by the Army until only 30 days ago, the Sniper- scope is one of the many new types of equipment available for view when the Army Ground Forces Ca- ravan opens in the State Armory tomorrow at P. NJ The weapon was only used six months in the Pacific Theater before the end of the war and was found extremely effective in that short time.
 The Sniperscope is mounted on a new full-automatic 30 cal carbine. II consists of lamp assembly be- low the barrel and telescopic sight containing nine prismatic mirrors and a flourescent screen mounted on top A wet cell six-volt battery is carried on the back of the soldier in a special pack to pro- vide the power. =-.-
 When the Sniperscope is turned on, it throws an infra-red light which allows the target to be clear ly seen through the telescope It has very effective firing range of l50 yards. During combat it was used mostly on night outpost duty. The lamp assembly alone also was used for signaling between troops at night.
 Although not used for combat, the radio controlled aircraft target, was the Army's most effective means of training anti-aircraft gunners. The plane, powered by a 20 horsepower engine, can do every maneuver regular plane can do except land. It is launched from a catapault at a speed of 90 miles an hour and develops a cruising speed of 180 miles an hour. To land the plane, parachute carried in the top of the fuselage is opened by radio control.
 The individual plane cost Uncle Sam 5000 and has very short life in use. Machine gunners, fir ing at the plane, often tear it to pieces. Whenever it is hit, it must be completely overhauled before it can be used again. Because of the possibility of the plane falling into crowd of people when it lands. it will not be demonstrated in the city,

Girl Missing On CoPe.Cod Found Dead
 Jitterbugsins'
 Ex-GI Is Sought
 For Questioning

onset, Mass, Aug. t1-CUPD-The .ravished body of auburn-haired Ruth McGurk of Cambridge was found floating in a cranberry bog reservoir today and police inten- sified their search for a man known only as Frank" with whom she left an Onset dance hall Saturday night.
 Merical Examiner E. Vincent Smith of Middleboro said that the 25-year-old vaca tionist apparent ly had been dead since the night she disappeared. However, the body was in such condition that he could not immediately determine the cause of death. He ordered pre- liminary examination at the scene in the presence of State Pathologist Alan P. Moritz and State Chemist Joseph L. Walker.
 When sighted by John E. Lane Of Wareham, the body was floating about Is feet from shore of Green Lodge Reservoir which is only about 10 feet from the highway. A hand kerchief belonging to the dead girl was floating nearby.
 Underclothing Torn
 The pond is situated in the town of Carver, about eight miles from the Colonial Casino from which the girl vanished with her new-found acquaintance during an interrnis- sion.
 Dr. Smith said her underclothing was torn and some of it was miss ing, indicating that she had been subjected to a bestial attack before her body was deposited in the pond.
 The road which passes the reser- voir branches off Route 29-the well-traveled main highway leading between Boston and Cape Cod. It Is about a mile down this side road to the spot where the body was found.
 District Attorney Edmund R. Dewing, his assistant, Robert G. Clark and State Inspectors John N. Sullivan and Daniel Delay went to the scene to direct the hunt for the girls slayer.
 Mother Heartbroken
 Police Chief Chester A. Churchill of Wareham was among the first to reach the pond and identified the body.
 Heart-broken by the news was Mrs. Helen McGurk who was en- ployed in the same Cambridge chain store of which her daughter was manager. Only last night Mrs. McGurk had issued her second tear ful appeal on the radio, begging for the return of her daughter.
 The victim disappeared on the first night of what was to have been a weeks vacation at this Bug Zards Bay resort. She was to have returned home Saturday and then travel with her mother to Pitts field for visit with married sis- ter, Mrs. William Spangler.
 Reconstructing the crime on the basis of the sketehy clues availa- ble, police believed that the girl left the Onset dance pavilion with her "jitterbugging" escort and planned to purchase refreshments outside.
 Apparently Went For Ride
 IL was apparent that the man known only as Frank" had an au- tomobile and perhaps proposed that they take a cooling drive along the shore.
 From the village of Onset, a part of the township of Wareham, the couple apparently travelled north west to the town of Wareham. They nnyYf Wareham and West Wareham to the junction of Route 28 and a road that leads northeasterly to South Carver. It was in this area that the body was found.
