Flight
Railway

Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, the Polish
opposition leader now in London, was
aided in his flight from his homeland
by an international team skilled in
spiriting Interesting personalities"
from behind the Iron curtain" to the
west, it was disclosed this week by an
American Military Government source
in Germany.
Mikolajczyk disappeared two weeks
ago after learning, he said, that the
Warsaw government planned to strip
him and other Polish Peasant Party
leaders of parliamentary immunity
and have them sentenced to death by
a military court.
Mikolajczyk is the second opposi-
ton leader Of a Russian satellite state
to seek sanctuary in the west. Ferenc
Macy of Hungary also escaped. Last
month Nikola Petkov of Bulgaria was
executed. Juliu Manu- of Romania is
now on trial.
While details of Mikolajczyk's IS
day flight through Russian-occupied
Germany were withheld it is known
that British and American intelligence
units have an underground railway"
across the forbidden territory. It was
created to transport westward scien-
lists, scholars, technicians past Soviet
guards.

Biological Determines

Laboratory tests with corr indicate
that radioactivity from the two atomic
bomb explosions in Japan may result
in Unbeatable defects producing hui
man deformities as far in the future
as 1000 years.
This conclusion is drawn from .ex
perimental culture of sample seeds OF
corn exposed to radioactivity at last
years Bikini tests by scientists at the
California Institute of Technology.
1T is now almost a certainty" said
Dr.. Ernest c. Anderson, biologist and
professor of genetics, "that exposure
to this ~radioactiv1ty results in distur-
Dances of chromosomal genes (the in
heritance factors in cell tissue).
although it is impossible to con-
duct experiments with humans, the
same biological laws apply to them
as to corn"
While no direct evidence of inherited
effects of the atomic bomb on humans
is likely to appear for many years,
scientists have produced a second gen.

On the third run, Hughes eased the
eight 3,000-horsepower motors up to
1900 revolutions per minute, the
great silver ship rose up on the step"
and cruised at almost 100 miles an
hour.
Tt Felt So Good
"The buoyancy felt so good I de-
sided to take it up" Hughes said
later.
He laid a feather touch on the hy-
draulic controls and the monster was
airborne. Hughes piloted it for about
a mile at an altitude of between so
and 80 feet, then gingerly eased the
huge craft back into the water in a
graceful landing.
Some 80 Hughes aids-technicians,
engineers and observers-were
aboard for the maiden flight. Included
was an observer for the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, at the request
of the Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration.

Statistics
Cost of War


The 81 Allied and Axis nations in
volved in World War II lost more than
100000 killed or missing in battle,
it was revealed this week by Secre-
tary of State George C. Marshall.
The former U. S. Army chief of staff
placed the Allied military dead at
10, 500, 900 and Axis losses at 4,650,000
in an article written for the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica's "Ten Eventful
Years." a new history of the war
decade.
The full cost of the war, Marshall
wrote, never will be known for losses
difficult to appraise include civilian
casualties, displacement of popula-
tions and loss of livelihood for mil
lions of people which probably rep
resented a greater monetary cost fac
tor than support of the armed forces"
The British War Damage Commits
sion made its first bulk payment this
week for wal damages suffered at the
hands of the Nazis. Checks totaling
$500, 900 900 were mailed to 106, 900
claimants for total destruction of
$4,000 properties.
In all, the British commission said,
payments a%ggregating $3.50, 900, 900 will
be made to $4,000 claimants for de-
struction of 216,000 properties.

although it may take much Iongr
to become apparent in humans" said
DR.. Anderson, affected genes and
chromosomes in some japanese pe.
pie may result in the birth of moroH
cripples and deformed progeny in
future generations. The damage done
by outright killing at Hiroshima and
Nagasaki may be but the smallest par.
Of the damage wrought by the atomc

In explaining how experiments with
corn could be compared with human
inheritance, DR.. Anderson said most
abnormalities produced in the com

humans, and are not apparent in te
immediate generation.
1T is quite possible that these re,
cessive genes will gradually be Spresi

PEACE: Stymied by Big Power Deadlock

THE East-West "tug of peace"
L which also has been described
as a "cold war growing progress
sively warmer" continued in
United Nations councils this week
as delegates of the 57-nation Or
ganization hoped a general speed-up
would make adjournment possible be-
fore Thanksgiving.
The General Assembly adopted un-
animously a watered-down resolution
against "warmongers," which previ-
ously had been accepted by the U.N.
political committee after defeat of a
bitter and specific Russian proposal.
In committee, Russia had argued
that the United States, Greece and
Turkey were guilty of "warmonger-
ing" The compromise resolution, Of
fered by Australia, France and Can
ada, condemned propaganda any
where in the world that might lead to
war but did not name any countries.

had hailed even the modified resolu-

The tests also show the P-84's guns
fired about so per cent faster than the
guns used in World War II aircraft.
Rate Of fire is all-important in jet
aircraft since extreme speed allows
only a fraction of the time available
in conventional fighters for getting off
a burst at a target. Captured German
documents show that the Luftwaffe
found the speed of its jet fighters was
minimized by the too-slow firing rate
of the guns.
A 100000 900 order was added re-

AERIAL: A Wooden White Elephant That Flew

THREE days before the Senate
l. War Investigating Committee
resumed its probe of his wartime
contracts in Washington, Howard
Hughes smashed aviation prece-
dent by taking up his 20O-ton fly
ing boat, the worlds largest plane,
the day after it was launched.
Ordinarily, tests are conducted for
months on a new experimental ship
before a test pilot is willing to risk
a takeof. The pilot has to familiarize
himself with its handling, its per-
Torrance on the step" in taxi tests
and how it responds to controls Just
before it is airborne.
This giant experimental craft was
a question mark in more ways than
one. Conceived during the war to
counteract the submarine menace it
was under attack as a nightmare
induced by war hysteria." Henry ].
Kaiser, wartime production miracle
man, had withdrawn from a partner
ship with Hughes to build it.
Flying Lumberyard'
1t was constructed of plywood be-
cause of wartime metals shortages. It
had taken almost five years to build
and cost over $25, 900, 900, of which
the government had contributed $18,-
100000. It was called Hughes Folly"
and the flying lumberyard."
Even Hughes, the millionaire
sportsman-pilot, film producer, plane
designer and tool manufacturer,
didn't know whether it would fly. His
behemoth had eight 0O0-horsepow-
er engines and the control surfaces
were so huge they had to be operated
by a hydraulic system 200 times more
powerful than a strong man.
The flying boat has a wing span of
800 feet and a length of 219 feet. It
was designed to carry 500 persons.
Hughes made two taxi runs over
the choppy surface of Los Angeles
Long Beach Harbor while thousands
along the shore gasped at its size and
the thunder of its eight exhausts. The
first run was at As miles an hour, the
second at go. Each time the slap of
the waves made the plywood hull
vibrate like a drum head.
