Admiral Says Work
OF Soviet on Weapons
Spurs Navy Research

The Navy's expanded research pro-
gram has received new impetus in
the knowledge that Germany's best
weapons are being developed by
Russia, Rear Admiral A. G. Noble,
chief of naval ordnance, said today.
Admiral Noble, addressing Navy
research conference here, said the
war ended before many of the latest
German inventions reached the bat
tie front. 1.-The progress which had
been made by the Germans in the
development of new weapons and
means for their delivery, if not COM
batted," he said, would. in the
hands of hostile nation. constitute
severe threat to our national Sc
curity"
I'VE receive no comfort in this sit
uation from the attitude of our pre-
vious co-belligerent nation" he
added.
Speaks to Scientists.
1.-THE chronological advances made
by the Germans as a result OF their
research programS-which resulted
in their jet-propelled airplanes, their
vi and W. type missiles, and their
greatly improved new submarine
types-does not give us cause for
complacency." the admiral told ap-
proximately 900 of the Nations top
scientists and engineers meeting in
the Interior Department Auditorium.
Yesterday DR.. T. J. Killian, science
director of the Office of Naval Re-
search, revealed that the Navy IS
spending about $l8.O00,000 on re-
search.
Much of this expenditure. DR..
Killian said, is for the continuation
of essential Investigations started
during the war under the Office of
Scientific Research and Development
and left unfinished at the conclusion
of hostilities.
Navy Supports 600 Projects.
The Navy, DR.. Killian said, now Is
supporting more than 800 research
projects in $50 universities and
scientific institutions. About 1000
scientists and $500 graduate stu
dents are at work on these in
vestigations.
Finances Nuclear Research.
Nearly 80 per cent of the basic
research on nuclear physics now
under way in the United States is
financed by the Navy, DR.. Killian
said. Special stress is being placed
on construction of demonstrating
machines, especially the linear ac-
celerators, which promise eventual
ly to project streams of nuclear
particles with voltages unattainable
by other means. Support is being
given to about 10 synchotrons, atom
Smashers originated during the war.
