Army Developing 2l.TOn Bomb
tBy Elton C. Fay)

WASHINGTON, (P)-The army air forces is developing and prob ably will test in the next few months a 42,OOO-pound super-size bomb.
 So far as is known, this will be the largest standard-explosive- that is, non-atomic-missile ever made.
 The weight of the bomb sug- gests that it is intended for use in such aircraft as the B-36, which is capable of carrying 36 tons of explosives and is equipped with a bomb bay of enormous dimen- sions.
 The AAF had even larger bombs-one of 100000 pounds under consideration and in the blueprint stage, but designers said privately today that curtailed research program resulted in shelving these projects.
 They described the 42,000- pounder as a general purpose, block-buster" type.

Northwest Starts Delayed Maiden
 Flight To Orient

SEATTLE, (P Delayed more than three days by weather, reg ular commercial service to the Orient by Northwest Airlines started Saturday with the depart ure of the four-engine transport Manila" from Anchorage to Tok- yo.
 Northwest officials said the Manila, which originally was scheduled to be the second flight on the Great Circle run, landed at Sheyma in the Aleutians at 6:35 am. PST and after refuel- ing headed for Tokyo approxi- mately 10 hours away. Later it will continue to China and the Philippines.
 The Shanghai" slated to make the inaugural flight, will return to Minneapolis. Its passengers for the Far East were put aboard the Manila"
 A third DC-4, the "Tokyo," took off from Minneapolis at 3:38 am. PST Saturday for Anchor age via Edmonton and will follow a regular schedule to the Orient unless the weather closes in again, officials of the line said here.
 Each of the big four-engine transports has been specially con verted for the long overwater hop with larger galleys and baggage space. .
 Postponement of the inaugural flight made it necessary to cancel the first easbtound run, scheduled to leave from Manila July 19.
 What difficulties may be en- countered in landing at Tokyo still was not known here.
 In Tokyo Friday, D. J. King, vice-president of the lines Orient division, said "procedural delays in Washington" might prevent de- barkation of passengers and car go there.

Kenai Forest Fire Moves Toward City Of Seward

SEWARD, (P)-Still raging un- checked, the gigantic Kenai penin- sula forest fire had moved Satur- day within 25 miles of Seward and forestry men were reported concerned it might leap a four mile stretch of the upper Kenai river and sweep through heavy timber toward this port city.
 Fred Rinaldi, injured fire fight CT brought here by plane Friday, said that if the fire spans the river it would be almost impossible to check its spread southward."
 Peril to the entire west end of the peninsula from Tustomena lake to Homer also is threatened if the Kasilof barrier is preached.
 Dayton Gilliland, who flew Ri- naldi from the fire lines, estim- ated the western front of the blaze is 50 miles long and is moving steadily toward the Kasliof river.
 Rinaldi, who suffered a frac- tured pelvis when a boulder rolled down upon him, said men fighting the scorching flames spray one an other with water to help with stand the terrific heat.
 The army reported in Anchor age Saturday that the battle to save the village of Kenai on the north shore of the Peninsula ap- parently has been successful. No appreciable gains by the fire have been made in the last 48 hours due to constantly shifting winds, giv- ing 85 army engineers time to carve 1912 mile long fire break around the settlement.
 No backfires will be started near Kenai unless the threat to the town is renewed.
 ANCHORAGE, (P)-A patrol of soldier fire fighters, led by L. W.. Bryson of the Alaska fire control service, forged into the Funny River valley today, where it is hoped backfiring may partially check the huge Kenai peninsula forest conflagration.
 Smoke forced the men back when they attempted a reconnais- sance of the area.
 Latest reports from the fire lines said the long-uncontrolled blaze was slowly but steadily ad- vancing south and east in the di- rection of Seward and Homer. Neither city is any immediate danger, however.
 During the last two months the fire has burned over more than 300,000 acres comprising the pe- ninsula's best bird and game refuge and prime spruce stands.
