Bikini Re-check

6IkInI ke-CneCk
Nearly a year after the Bikini tests
of the atomic bomb, the Navy is re-
surveying the bomb site to determine
exactly what happened.
The first job of an expedition which
put into the huge anchorage this
week was to check the roadstead and
beaches for radioactivity. Once it has
been determined conditions are not
dangerous, examination of ships sunk
in the lagoon will begin.
The first ship scheduled for survey
is the old aircraft carrier Saratoga,
which sank in 200 feet of water seven
hours after the underwater explosion
July Is, 1916.
The expedition will take about six
weeks to complete its study of the
long range effects of the aerial and
underwater atomic bomb bursts.
Giant COPPER
The Army Air Forces reported the
first test flight of its XR-10, worlds
largest helicopter, was conducted
successfully at North Wales, Pa.
The AAF says the giant craft, gross
weight almost 1000 pounds, is the
first twin ngined transport-type
helicopter. The two three-bladed TO-
tors can be driven by either or both
of the twin 525-horsepower engines
1t has a 10-passenger capacity il
addition to the pilot and co-pilot or i
can carry six wounded on filters. A
hatch opening in the floor is equipped
with a hoist and sling for picking w
or lowering men or cargo while hov.
ering in the air. Its range is abou
$50 miles, top speed well over 10I
miles per hour.

Super Subs

The Navy is preparing plans for
two radically new submarines, which
will be the worlds fastest and most
revolutionary undersea craft. The
new subs, incorporating latest tech
niques learned from captured enemy
documents, are scheduled for compile
ton in 1851.
They will carry new weapons and
many secret developments, still in the
experimental stage. Many of the de-
vices will not be installed before
1851 to allow for incorporation of
continuing scientific advances.
Sound has taken a top priority as
possible substitute for vision, which
is useful only for few hundred feet
under water, and as means of I'M
dersea signaling. But noises in the
ocean depths are forcing Navy re-
searcherS to develop whole new tech
niques in order to make sound an eff
fective medium of communication.
UnderSea Bedlam
Scientists have found thst ocean
depths sometimes are a bedlam OF
noise rivaling the busiest streets of q
big city. Some kinds of salt water fish
at times make more noise than sub
way trains. Waves whipped up by the
wind produce undersea noise thai
runs close second to what the fish
can do. Ships and other manmadt
noise are poor third.
The croaker, common fish in the
Chesapeake Bay area, makes drum.
ming noise which reaches crescendt
about sunset and has been rated a.
high as 119 decibelS. This is equiva
lent to the noise of DC-3 airplane

Fall Prices
Seen Higher

THE Administration this week
L put aside fears of a midsum-
mer business slump to study in
stead the question of whether the
nations high-riding economy is
headed for an infationary spiral.

most government economists once
predicted after July /, many now fore
cast new and higher plateau of prices

In Washington, the President APP
realed directly to coal and steel in

a fair test could be made of The actual
effects of the wage increases granted
coal miners.
Coal operators, however, upped
bituminous prices from $l25 to $3.50
ton at the mines while anthracite
p. ices rose about 70 cents ton.
Walter X. Thurmohd, secretary of
the Southern Coal Producers Associa-
ton. said it was unfortunate the
President was so poorly advised" as
to think coal operators could absorb
he increased costs. He estimated con-
sumers would have to pay about
geo 100000 additional aurin2the next
year.
Meanwhile Earl Bunting. president
O. the National Association of Manu-
lecturers, told a Congressional COM
mittee the nation should be able to
osorb this years second round
wage increases without going on an
ineationary spiral.
Bunting said he considered il
"auazing" that the death of OPA a
year ago resulted in 'such moderate
price increases"

Sue Government for Property Losses

WASHINGTON, DC. May 23-Two form
er evacuees now residing in Boston, Mass, have
filed suit in the federal district court of Mass
acheusetts against the United States Govern
ment for personal property that was sold by the
War Relocation Authority, the Washington OF
flee of the JACL Anti-Discrmnatom Commit
tee learned this week.
The two Nisei are Paul Honda and Riku
Kusunoki formerly of San Francisco, California.
The Nisei allege that at the time Of cvacua-
ton they stored personal property inthe Bud
dhst Church in San Francisco and that later the
WRA without obtaining their permission moved
their p II p e T. y gu Of h
church and stored it i'm WI1A warehouse in the
same city. Later, after public announcement
that Honda and Kusmok never saw to the ef
feet that all evacuce property stored in WRA
warehouse had to be claimed by certain date
or that it would be sold at public auction, the
WRA sold their property at a public auction for
one hundred dollars. The Nisei claim that the
value of the property sold is $1,000 and they are
suing the Government to recover the full loss.
As far as the Washington Office knows,
this is the first suit of its kind and its settlement

The university's annual May exhi-
bition. marking the beginning Of

1t will display in the Agricultural
college section a large montage of
fifty such pictures
The pictures will illustrate me-
thods of swine and chicken breed

verious postwar farming develo-
ments that are unfamiliar to the
Japanese.
One of these is the use of the
wartime jeep as small mobile

of light structural steel in the
manufacture of such firm aids as
mechanical conveyors and silos.
Also on display will be a series of
photographs showing rice culture
in the United States as well as
modern methods of processing and
packaging. This is expected to be
of particular interest in view OF

LEADERS TOY
WITH PLANS,
ms REPORTS

TOKYO. May 23-Certain Japa-
nese lead2.s are toying with the
idea of asking the Allies to permit
Japan to establish u 100 .OOU-man
Army. reported Howard Handleman
of international News Service this
week.
The proposed Army. Handleman
writes. would be similar TO the one
Germany was allowed to organize
after the Versailles Treaty OF World
War l.
The newly -esta biished Japa-
ncse constitution makes no pro-
vision for an Army and also out
laws war.
One Allied diplomat in Japan, 1t
was learned, was approached on
the attitude his government might
take to the proposal that Japan be
allowed an AArmy plus small
air force.
The Japanese official who APP
preached the allied diplomat IN
disregard of current occupation re-
gulations. was said to have ex-
planned the Army proposal in the
following manner.
AT present the United States
Army is protecting Japan inter-
nally and against smuggling and
| disease.
American soldiers examine re-
patriates for disease and dust
them with DDT. Somebody Is go
ing To have TO do that after the
American Army leaves.
Americans also protect Japan's
coast line from smugglers from
Korea who try to bring men and
materials to Japan.
UNLESS Japan has some pro-
lection, disease probably will rage
through the nation.
The Americans also protect In
ternal peace
General Macarthur was able
to avert disastrous February
first general strike only through
the strength OF the Army behind
him.
Without an armed force, fights
are liable to rage.
1T would help If we had a
military air force to patrol the sea
of Japan against smugglers from
Korea"
The Japanese concluded with
the question:
What would your government
think of these suggestions at the
peace conference?"
1t was also learned that Japan
may ask for the return OF Oki-
nawa Island at the peace con-
ference. Japanese agents argue
that Okinawa is essential to Japa-
nege economy ard want either out
right ownership or mandate or
trusteeship over the island.
The japanese also will probab-
" seek fishing rights in the waters
, of the Russian controlled Kurile
Islands in the North Pacific and
also want some small islands oil
