Printing Executives Wife
Found Dead Of Gas

Mrs. Miriam Darby, 50, wife of
printing Arm executive. was found
dead shortly after pm yesterday
In the gas-filled basement of her
home at 38l1 Fulton street NV.
Police said her son, Edward, Is, had
been home few hours earlier and
smelled gas, but had left without
investigating.
Mrs. Darby was found by her hus-
band. Edward E. Darby, vice presi-
dent of the Rufus H. Darby Print

parently had attempted to un-
screw a pipe leading to the gas
meter, but in doing so had stripped
the threads of the pipe and was
overcome by gas which then seeped
through the basement, 1t was said.
Police said note was found on
the kitchen table. Its contents
were not disclosed. Deputy Coroner
Christopher J. Murphy said he had
received information that Mrs
Darby had been in poor health for

Navy Wants Civilian
Control Over Atom,
Research Chief Says
By Thomos R. Henry
Stor StaH Cn11esnondent

ST. LOUIS, Mar. 29.-The NAVY
believes atomic energy development
should be entirely under civilian
control, with military men serving
purely as consultants when called
on, Rear Admiral H. G. Bowen
chief of the Bureau of Research and
Inventions, told the American Asso-
citation for Advancement OF Science
here today.
Admiral Bowen announced the
Navy has embarked on what is prob
ably the greatest science research
program in history, to be carried out
almost entirely by grants to univer-
sity laboratories.
Naval interests in atomic energy
Admiral Bowen said, would be salts
fed if the Secretary of the Navy
was a member of the Civilian Control
Board, together with the Secretaries
OF War and State.
Speaking not for the Navy, but
for myself as a private citizen,
am particularly apprehensive of any
aspect of military control over
atomic energy when I view that
possibility in conjunction with the
proposal to merge all the military,
naval and air services in a single
department under single chief of
staff he continued. Il believe that
the proposed merger plans to put
so much authority in the hands of
the individual that it might extend
itself into the field of atomic energy
and scientific research in general.
Then, indeed. this Nation could well
be translated from a Republic into
a military dictatorship"
Program to Cost $40, 900 900.
Admiral Bowen said the Navy's
plan for fundamental research
through civilian scientists call for
expending $20,O0O,00O during this
fiscal year. This sum- according to
estimates, will be S39 900 900
next year. There were actually few
additions to scientific knowledge
during the war years, Admiral
Bowen pointed out. Most of the
new weapons, like the atomic bomb,
were developments of knowledge
which already existed, and this re-
serve was drawn on to the utmost.
The object of the new program
will not be to develop specific
things, such as weapons, but to ex-
plore all fields of science without
definite objectives-with the GER
tainty that out of this fundamental
Evening star., 1946-03-29

research will come discoveries which
can be developed to meet needs of
the service.
'"Our experience in World War II
showed the Navy cannot neglect any
branch of science. No one can pos
Slbly predict just what advance in
knowledge may affect the Navy. No
one can predict what a Navy will
look like 10 years from now, but we
shall make every attempt to produce
as rapidly as possible a Navy in
which full consideration has been
given to the possibilities of atomic
energy. jet propulsion, gas turbines,
guided missiles and pilotless air.

The Navy Is the greatest consum-
er OF power in the world and the
prospects of Harvesting atomic en-
ergy for driving ships in the near
future is an attractive possibility. If

Number Wasn't Up, Bob Finds

Young Crickenberger
Now Home on Leuve,
Volunteered for Work

The red, white and blue sign on
the piano read: welcome Home,
Bob" and it probably was little
more significant than similar signs
in other homes. For Bob had re-
turned home from two months with
the Guinea Pig Squadron" in mine
infested Japanese waters.
Bob is Machinist's Mate &c Rob-
ert E. Crickenberger, 10. Home is
1910 Ames street NE. And the
Guinea Pig Squadron was q vol
unteer crew OF sailors who risked
a trip into eternity for 80 days
leave. -
Next May 1s, when Bob is 10
years old, it will be exactly two
years since he enlisted in the Navy.
It hasn't been so long since he car
ried a route for The Star and won
trips to New York and Atlantic City

Secuted Waters.
Bob was one Of the crewmen Of
the Liberty ship Joseph Holt which,
together with the Marathon and
Pratt Victory, secured southern jap
anese waters through November and
December to eliminate the mine
hazard created by our own B-29s'
Those mines were credited with
sinking nearly 800 Japanese hips
during the last months Of the r.
Now they threatened American S, p
ping by decorating from the pres
sure of anything 5000 tons or bigger.
The Joseph Holt - "Joltin' Joey"
to the crew-was third Of three ships
selected for the expedition. Two
others were lashed to bits on the
rocks off Okinawa, before young
Crickenberger joined up.
The Joltin' Joey made 800 mine
runs" over sea lanes supposedly
marked by deadly explosives.
"Saw One Mine"
Although Machinist's Mate Crick-
enberger's job was in the engine
room, he and the others who nor
mally work below operated the ship
by remote control" in a padded
cell" on the bridge during actual
mine runs. In another precaution
against heavy loss Of life, the crew
worked mine runs in shifts of 20,
the others standing by in a landing
craft, infantry, during the scouting
runs.
Only once did they encounter a
mine. Then they fired at it, only
to see it sink out of sight and die
a natural death from "old age"
But there were thrilling moments,
including tina. just a day before the
final mission, when a gale lashed at
the Joseph Holt in Fukuoka Har-
Dor.
There was poor anchorage
ground at Fukuoka and as the Holt
was riding light, the blow caused
her to drag her anchors" Sailor
Crickenberger said. 1--WE dragged
four times that night across a sup
posed mine field, but I guess our
number wasn't up."
