First Test of New 21-Ton Bomb

whether warships might be q profit
able target for the A, ,000- FOUNDER.
Atom bombardiers contend that
under present conditions their
weapon is too costly in terms OF
man-hours and dollars to use as Q
weapon against individual naval
ships. Unofncial estimates Of the
cost Of an atom bomb have ranged
during the last year around 81, 900, :
600, with the scarcity Of raw ma
terials and the amount of time re-
quired to produce q single bomb also
important factors.
Against this is the rough estimate
that the 1900 pound conventional
bomb, under wartime production.
might cost only about $4,000 and
be turned out under virtually mass
production methods.
This, therefore, might make even
an individual enemy capital ship
a worthwhile target-if the cumber-
some bomb could be dropped on or
close to the ship. The problem Of
precision bombing of this nature
has begun to lend itself to solution
through remote control guidance
methods.

The Army will limit the first test
of its new king-size bomb TO the
drop of 4 dad" missile, with actual
blast experiments to be made later
from fixed ground positions.
This was learned today from Army
Air Force and Army Ordnance ex-
perts who said the initial problem to
be solved is how to release the huge
q, ,O00- pound bomb from an airplane
and determine the pattern Of its
fall to a target.
They note that never before has
q load Of this weight been dropped
from an aircraft-and they won't
even guess what may happen when
the specially fitted BIO suddenly
becomes 2l tons lighter.
Ordnance officers said they assume
that one of the factors of particular
interest in the first experiments is
the depth of penetration attained
by the heavy bomb.
They suggested that to carry
through the tests, q loaded bomb
might be planted later at the depth
indicated by the drop-test and then
exploded. This would provide an
opportunity for more careful check
on the force of the explosion and
the accompanying earth shocks.
Combat Use to Be Decided.
The combat use OF the huge bomb
presumably will be decided by the
results of the tests, the first of which
are scheduled this fall.
Military men note that the bomb
under certain conditions would have
an advantage over an atomic blast
If, for instance, the military situa-
ton called for heavy blasting OF
large areas through which advanc-
ing troops or naval forces would
eventually move, the $4,000 pound
missile could be used without hav-
ing to cope with the deadly con-
tamiation left by an exploding A
bomb, a hazard to the advancing
force as we'll as the enemy.
However. the blast produced by
the standard INT bomb, despite its
size, would be only a fraction of
the destruction produced by an
atomic weapon.
Until tests have been made of
the blast, and other characteristics
of the new bomb carefully measured,
tacticians are reluctant to guess the
best method Of utilizing the develop
ment.

The Agriculture Department re-
ported that the world will produce
slightly more bread grain in 1947
than last year in contrast to a be-
low-average production in Europe
and most other deficit areas, the
Department of Agriculture reported
The report said the situation
points to substantially larger worlc
import requirements than in 194t
and to another year of critically
low bread rations for many areas
The departments Office of foreign
agricultural relations estimated the
world wheat crop may approximate
5,975 100000 bushels and the rye
crop 1,450,000 bushels.
The wheat crop last year was
$685. 100000 and rye 100000, ,00t
bushels.
The report said European import
needs will be even larger than last
season when 100000 short tons
of breadgrains, supplemented by

To New York Central
ay fhs Asseeiatsd Press


Two automobile companies. Pack
ard and Chrysler, said today they
would be adversely affected If an
interlocking directorate Is allowed
for the Chesapeake az Ohio and
New York Central railroads.
They appeared before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission where
Robert r. Young of the C. A O.
proposed such q setup looking to
future consolidation of the two lines.
Packard Motor Co. and Chrysler
Corp. intervened jointly at an ICC
hearing on applications of Young
and Robert ]. Bowman, board chair
man and president respectively, OF
the c. & O., for authority to sit on
the New York Central board.
Say C. d o. Favors Competitors.
Expressing concern that Mr..
Young and Mr.. Bowman will "im-
pose policy" on the New York Cen
trail, the two motor firms said:
THE New York Central has been
the one railroad among the several
lines serving Detroit which has
shown the greatest concern for the
welfare, interests and competitive
situation of the automobile manu-
facturers in Detroit"
On the other hand, they asserted
that c. & o. and its affiliate, the
Pere Marquette Railroad, have con-
sistently pursued a policy of pro-
noting and maintaining a structure
Of freight rates for the transporta-
tion of new automobiles, which has
preferred and greatly benefited
General Motors and Ford, and es-
pecially the former"
Adverse Policy Seen.
The petitioners said they believed
that If Mr.. Young and Mr.. Bowman
held places on both c. 81 o. and New
Work Central boards, they will i'm
pose upon the New York Central a
co-ordinated trafic policy adverse
to the interests of automobile
manufacturers in Detroit, and pref
erential to their competitors.
In an opening statement on the
Young Bowman petitions, Attorney
Joseph C. Kaufman of Cleveland
said that "unification' of the G. &
o. system and the New York Gen.
tral is ''in the minds of these Pc
titioners."
He pointed out, however, that the
commission is not now called upon
to rule on unification, but said that
this was something for the future" I"
Merger Proposal Urged.
The Virginian Railway Co., op-
posing the applications, insisted
that if unification testimony is to
be permitted at this hearing, Mr..
Young and Mr.. Bowman be required
to file an outright merger proposal
with the commission.
Assistant Director C. Boles of the
ICC's Finance Bureau, sitting as
examiner in the case, did not rule
Immediately on this issue.
Meanwhile, the c. 81 O. Executive
Committee meet here to divest itself
of control of the Nickel Plate Rail-
road.
Nickel Plate Is now one of the
Young roads. but since it operates
in direct compition with the New
York Central. the process OF end
ing c. and O. control is considered
requisite to the proposed afilia-
ton with that line.

There have been many unpleas-
