MUST GO DEEP TO
 GAIN PROTECTION
 FROM ATOM BOMBS

WASHINGTON, June 12.-It has been the opinion among those ex- pected to know that deep under ground installations would form effective shelter against the ex- plosion of atomic bombs. but the officials have found their opinion to be somewhat naive in the light of recent experiments.
 At Aberdeen, Maryland, the Army has been conducting tests to see how deep the explosion Of the bomb can penetrate. So far, they've discovered that even 200 feet under ground isn't deep enough. Caverns or air raid shelters 200 feet in the earth seem to afford only scant protection, if any
 Col. Leslie E. Simon, Director of the Aberdeen laboratory, says they'll arrive at more specific fi- gures after the bomb tests at Bi- kini. Then, says the Colonel, they can determine at just what height an atomic bomb should be explod- ed to crush solid rock to a depth of 150 to 200 feet.

japanese Will Elect
Upper House in April
BY ihs Associated Press

TOKYO, Nov. 30.-The govern
ment announced today that Japan'a
Upper House under the new con-
stitution would be elected next
April, but failed to say whether
LIT would bow to critics and like
wise call an election of the Lower
House.
The statement was made during
debate in the House OF Representa-
tives, where opposition parties have
demanded that the conservative
government call new election for
the House. This still is considered
possibility, although the govern
ment has remained silent.
The House of Councillors, to be
elected in April, will replace the
House of Peers, which will diSap-
pear along with the nobility when
the new constitution becomes effec-
tive.
The peers largely were appointiye
with a small number elected by
Japan's highest taxpayers. The
new Upper House will have 800
members. half elected from the pre-
lectures and the remainder from
Japan at large.
Japanese also will begin ballot
ing early next year in series of
nrafecfIIral and yatlnieina1 elections
in which they will name their own
governors and mayors hitherto ap-
pointiye-for the first time.

Belser asked that the Khan suit be
thrown out on the grounds that pa

of officers Of the hooded order, thus
voiding the action.
Superior Court attaches said this
issue called for jury for deter

which this is possible would be jan
uary IS, the date the administration
OF Gov. Ellis Arnall goes out Of office.
Gov. Arnall's successor, Eugene Tai

attack. on the Khan charter, thus,
perhaps, sounding the death knell
for the action ordered by Gov.
Arnall.
Mr.. Belser said, however, that
such an end would not be to his
liking. He insisted that he was

experts have developed potentially

Col. Simon said the counter

a hollow-charged antiaircraft mis-
sile with sufficient power to pene-
trate armor and destroy atomic or
explosibe rockets in flight.
In the technique described by Col.
Simon, a series of these missiles
would be placed in a large warhead
to be exploded by a proximity fuse
as it approaches the target. The
individual missiles then would
spread out in a netlike pattern
with the distance separating them
carefully regulated. At least some

Farley Says Truman
Can Have Nomination
II He Wants 10 Run
BY tn. Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3d.
James A. Farley said today that
Gov Dewey of New York obviously
was the leading Republican choice
for President and that President
Truman could have, the Democratic
nomination in 1948 If he wanted It.
Gov. Dewey "has an excellent OPP
portunity to be nominated unless
the other candidates gang against
him." the former chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
told reporters. Taft will doubtless
have control OF delegates from the
South and from the Border States.
Dewey will be a strong contender
in States which have direct pri-
maries."
Mr.. Farley did not predict who
would win the presidency, but said
that although history shows that
the party losing the Congress be-
fore the general election loses out,
we have rarely voted out an ad-
ministration when the country is
prosperous and the people happy
Two-Year Prosperity Seen.
He said there is too much money
In the banks and too much money
in peoples pockets" for depres-
sion in the next two years to nullify
the Democrat" chances.
THE Republicans, despite their
Dragging, were not pleased at their
success in carrying the Senate" Mr..
Farley commented. "They would
have preferred to have something
for which they might criticize the
Democrats. Now the Republicans
have full responsibility for legisla-
ton in the next two years, when
there will be plenty of serious prob
lens.
"In 1948, they won't be able to
argue against the Democrats lack
of legislative achievement"
Mr.. Farley named Gov. Dewey.
John Bricker and Senator Taft Of
Ohio, Senator Vandenberg of Michi-
gan, Harold Stassen of Minnesota
and Gov. Warren of California as
the leading Republican presidential
prospects. Both the presidential and
vice presidential candidates will
come from that group, he predicted.
As for the Democrats, if Mr.. Tru-
man does not seek denomination,
Mr.. Farley said.
II don't have the answer to that
at present. Many of the strong men
of the party have been defeated and
have departed from the national
scene. If Harry Truman doesn't
want it, the Democrats may turn to
some one in the Senate Few Demo-
cratic Governors now are big enough
to be built up as the Democratic
