Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin G. Williams

were asked to settle quarrel con-
corning homing pigeons. Anything
can happen at a meeting Of the

The keeping Of homing pigeons
at the home of DR.. George N.
Schultz was the storm center. A
delegation Of his neikhbors In the
$500 block Of Colesville Road,
headed by Daniel P. Mularky =
brother Of the well-known
king" sought to prove all
pigeons a nuiIance. He said pi-
geons whether homing or the COM
mon park variety are noisy, smell
bad, draw rats and ruin roof tops.
Everyone snickered when George
Dove, a resident Of the block, was
called upon TO testify against
home pigeon.
"Just a neighborhood quarrel.
Arthur Hanson, a pigeon fancier,
termed the affair. He said homine
pigeons are kept penned except
when exercising, spend little time
oil roof tops and COO unsteady.
When kept clean, the pens have no
odor, he said. Both he and DR..
Schultz have kept pigeons in the
city Of Washington. 80
After listening to the deter
mined jawed Mularky and the gem
tle-voiced DR.. Schultz, the COM
missioners, fully cognizant that
biologically at least all pigeons are
alike, took the matter under adj
visement.

Russia is being asked to settle only
for goods which could be Used for
peacetime purposes and which still
were serviceabl on VI Day. The rest
has been written off as a part of the

Russia received a greater proper
ton of civilian. type goods than most

also involve disposition of 95 mer-

which were supplied as Lend-Lease.

Il. S. Faces
Fuel Lack

CONGRESSIONAL committees
~ began delving this week into
the nations fuel situation-m;'i-
tary and civilian. The Presi3 mt
asked Congress for power to ra-
ton fuel, steel, most foods and
exports.
An Armed Services subcommittee
under Rep. Dewey Short (R-Mo.J
began studying present oil and oil
products shortages, principally az
they affect the Navy and Air Force.
The Interstate and Foreign Commercs
Committee under Rep. Charles A.
Wolverton (R-NJ.) started to inven-
tory all fuel resources and supplies.
"We are not producing enough (oiD
now to meet our civilian and mili-
tary needs" Short disclosed. The sit
uation will grow more acute, he said,
with enactment of the foreign aid
bill which will send more oil and
gasoline abroad.
Record Year Coming Up
Oil production this year will set
record, Department of Interior off,
cials conceded, but still it will not be
enough because
l. There is shortage of tankers,
pipe lines and tank cars, and Of oil
drilling tools.
2. Domestic needs have spurted.
Demand for home heating oil is 50
percent higher than before the war.
Railroads use about 40 percent more
diesel oil each year. Farmers burn
twice as much gasoline as before the
war. Motor cars, trucks and buses
use lot more gasoline now and in
dustrial use of oil for heating and
power has increased steadily.
Coal Cars Scarce
The situation in coal is somewhat
similar. There is shortage of certain
kinds of coal in certain parts of the
country. The main reason is a short
age Of coal cars.
When coal is mined it has to be
hauled away because there's no place
around the mines for storing it. The
coal car shortage has cut down min~
ing of better quality household coal in
West Virginia and some other fields.
'If it were not for the coal car
shortage" government official told
Congress, s'it is believed that sufficient
coal could be produced in the United
States to meet domestic demands as
well as Europe's most pressing needs"

Science
Researchers on the March


Columbia University, which will
get a new president, Dwight D. Els
enhower, next June, will get new
cyclotron-the worlds most powerful
but not the largest-early next sum-
mer.
In cooperation with the Office of
Naval Research, the university be-
gan construction nearly a year ago
on nuclear research center at Nevis,
an Irvington, NJ Y, estate overlook
ing the Hudson. River Last week the
giant atom-smasher's 2,300-ton mag
net was completed.
The cyclotron will fire atomic bull
lets (protons) at new high energies
of 400 million electron volts, enough
to smash cores even of atoms like
lead. With it, new kinds of matter
may be created and new clues may
be found to the mysterious cement"
that holds all atomic cores together.
A new supersensitive electronic mi
croscope capable of magnifying parti-
cles 100000 times has been developed
by scientists OF the Radio Corporation
of America. It was described at the
first international conference of the
Electron Microscope Society of Amer
lea this week in Philadelphia, attend
ed by research scientists of France,
England, Canada Australia, Holland
and the us.
Another new development is SIM
plifed radio voice transmitter which
permits simultaneous two-way COM
munication on a single channel, as in
telephone conversations.
