To Help Other Nations In Atomic Research

LONDON, (Ho - The British atomic scientists association urge1 today that the United States, Brit ain and Canada immediately give other nations help in setting up atomic research plants "of little use for military research"
 Tt would be a generous and helpful measure if the nations now possessing the most advanced knowledge of atomic energy were to offer to other nations collabora- ton in setting up small atomic re- actors" a 2,400-word statement by the associations council said.
 Atomic reactors are ovens which produce heat, radioactive rays and new atoms. The association said they "are of little use for military purposes, but are valuable for the purposes of scientific research and for the production of tracer ele ments for research in medicine and other fields"

WHAT 1T MEANS
Big
Rockets AT Sea
BY ROBERT M. HARRINGTON
AP Newsfeatures Writer

AF NSWS1SdkuISS WIlter
WASHINGTON. - Navy Off
w GERS agree that the firing of
q German w from the deck
of the 45.OOO-ton corrier Mid
way was q demonstration of q
seo-qoinq launching site. rather
than q new role for the flat
tops.
+; Thew believed it extremely
unlikely that carriers of the fu-
ture will be expected to.fire bio
rockets and launch uirplunes
too. Speciol guided missile
ships will be the thing in their
opinion. In announcing the
test the Navy suid it will mark
the beginning of q new era in
naval weapons"
A carrier is not a combatant
ship in itself but rather a float
ing garage for swarm of fight
ing planes. 1t can protect itself
somewhat with anti-aircraft guns
but is not designed for hammer
and-tongS battle.
Two New Missile Ships
Two ships under construction,
the 45,000-ton battleship Ken
lucky and the 27,5O0-ton large
cruiser Hawaii, are being CONVEX
ted into guided missile ships.
The catch is that nobody knows
what a guided missile ship would
be, and work is proceeding very
slowly while Navy planners test
out theories and ideas.
Best bet at present is that they
will be fast, able to take the
pounding of battleship, have
provisions against atom bomb
blasts and, of course, fire big
rockets and controlled missiles.
Meanwhile, the stock of cap
tured V-2s is dWindling and the
Navy is looking forward to ex-
perimenting with its brand-new
rocket, the Neptune, slated for
testing next June.
Advance publicity on the Am
erican-made rocket predicts it
will soar 235 miles into the air,
twice as far as the W. has gone
in New Mexico altitude tests.
Experts believe the 235-mile fig
ure may be exceeded consider
ably when the Neptune is finally
tried out. Presumably it might
be capable of 500 miles in a hor-
izontal direction.
The Neptune's Load
About as long as the w GAG
feeD, the Neptune is much Slim
mer. Over 1000 of its fully load
ed weight of II, 410 pounds is TAX
en- up by fuel. 1t is scheduled to
carry one ton of instruments Tor

The Navy regards it as the lar
gest practical rocket for ship
board use and from it expects to
learn enough to design actual war

Veterans ToPush Housing Action In 8Oth Congress
Is Main Objective Of AVG Also Seek Larger Sub
 sistence Allowance

WASHINGTON (FP) = Pushing legislation for 1ow-cost housing through Congress will be the main ob- jective of the American Veterans Committees legislative program in 1947.
 AVG Legislative Rep. Chat Pat terson said that passage of the Wagner-ElIender-Taft long range housing bill ''is desperately needed to provide rental housing at req sonable rates." He added that the AVG housing program also includes passage of the Rabin bill and con- tinuation of rent control.
 The Rabin bill would permit the president to order government housing construction in so-called emergency areas. This, Patterson said, would be found necessary "when the collapse of the present administration housing program becomes apparent"
 AVG will also plug in 1o47 for: |. raising the GI bill subsistence allow ance by $35 monthly, and adding $25 for each child in a veterans family :; 2. killing the present $200 monthly in- come ceiling for on-the-job trainees 3. amending the GI bill to allow un- employment benefits to veterans job less because of work stoppages.

Building Suppliers Are Catching Up

 MT. Rogers noted, however, that despite increased production of ma terials, the, weather in the colder sections of the Nation could be ex- pected to retard construction activ- ity.
 Meanwhile, in Portland, Ore, H. V. Simpson, executive vice-president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, reported the outlook for housing lumber brighter than at any time since the end of the war.
 'Iog inventories are at peak level, indicating that West Coast sawmi11s will continue at their pres ent high rate of production throughout the winter he said. The lumber in dustry, he said, is turning out more construction timber now than the home building program can absorb.

Seeks To Avoid Strike Against Nation s Welfare
Is Against Tearing Down Edi6ce Built To Improve
 Lot Of Average Man

WASHINGTON Two vet erans New Deal Senators = Robert F. Wagner of New York and James E. Murray of MOntana-this week warned the incoming Republican Con- gress against drastic, hasty anti-labOr legislation.
 Wagner, cO-author of the Labor Relations Act, pointed his warning directly at the caucus of 5l COP Senators which got under way at Washington to consider a Repub- lican legislative prOgram-with la- bor action heading the list.
 "GOP STRIKE"
 A stalemate between the Democratic Administration and COP Congress, Wagner said, would constitute a more damaging strike against the Ma tion's welfare than any industrial dis pute of the postwar period" And the stalemate will come, he said, if 'the Republican leadership takes its cue from its reactionary wing-those of its spollesmen who falsely interpret the recent election as a mandate to tear down the edifce built since 1883 to inl- prove the lot of the average man t.
 ''There can be no cooperation" l" he said, eff the Republican Party proposes to =. end reciprocal trade agreements terminate our re- sponsibiIity toward displaced per- sons abroad repeal or cripple the National Labor Relations Act, the Wage-HOur Law and the Nor ris-LaCuardia Act to strangle essential government services and agencies by insufficient appropria- "PARALYSIS''
 If proposals of this type are pressed by the Republican majority, the coun- try will suffer the inevitable bangs of government paralysis"
 Wagner predicted the COP would find ''many willing Demo cratic hands to aid its efforts" if, instead, it proposes to build ''wisely and progressively" on the New Deal foundations.
 Senator Murray, outgoing Chairman of the Senate Education and Labor Committee, issued a fu1l-scale review of the committees work which tacitly answered charges that the group had deliberately bottled IT" bills affecting labor.
 MANY HEARINGS
 Murray reviewed the extensive hear ingS held on numerous bills to pro- mote industrial peace, including Presi- dent Truman's act-6nding plan, the Ba11-Burton- Hatch bill, the McMahon Bill to strengthen the U. s. Concili- ation Service and the Case Bill.
 Industry, labor and Government officials testified on these bills, Murray emphasized, and a com mittee bill was reported out with majority a n minority findings which gave the Senate a chance to vote on all major proposals.
