More than 300 exhibits are in the
Science Fair being given at The
Commerce Department Building
this week by high school students
and the most interested spectators
appear to be the young scientists
themselves.
For example. Sheldon Kilt, 13, OF
2033 f street Sc, student at
Kramer Junior High School. spent
most of the morning casting crit
ical glance at other exhibits after
he had set up his own-a homemade
telegraph set.
The variety of information avail
able at the exhibit astounded Shell
don. but he resolved to stick to his
own field, radio and television, at
least until he is good enough to con-
struct his own television set.
Even a simple thing like child
pumping swing has basic prin-
ciple of physics behind 1t. One ex-
hihit. complicated arrangement of
pendulums and weights powered by
an electric battery, proved this to
him. And even though he knew be-
fore how to swing himself, now he
knows why it is possible.
Other exhibits showed the process
of making synthetic rubber, the
publication of water and even
atomic fission. The atomic exhibit
was constructed of wire and putty,
but the basic principle was there,
Sheldon found.
Wandering down corridor he
found an exhibit showing the effect
of various diets on chickens. Chick
ems of various sizes showed the
result Of planned and unplanned

across a school playground.
Five other youths and a girl were

More than $500 persons saw the

clump of trees not far from the air
field. Then the smoke billowed up.

The plane skidded across the dia-

ball, crashed into a tree and ex-
ploded.

investigation indicated the plane
had been caught in the slip-stream
of ship ahead of it in the forma-

Billion in u. 5. Credit
'RepaYable by Trade
ly she Asseeiased Press

TOKYO, May ia detailed
proposal for a 81 600, 900, 900 long
term credit to Japan from the
United States is circulating
through Allied headquarters.
The plan, drafted by japanese
industrialists with government as
sistance, suggests the credit be re-
paid over a 10-year period at per
cent. interest, by the excess balance
of foreign trade.
II would Indicate the $3.50 900 900
Japan owes the United States for
imports from the end OF the war to
the first Of this year, and an addi-
tional $4,000. 900 she Is expected
to owe by next July.
No Official Comment.
The proposal has brought no off,
cial comment from Gen. Mac.
Arthur's staff. But the fact that it
is being circulated indicates that it
is being considered. Certain high.
placed headquarters ofi1cials already
have suggested privately that Japan
should be loaned $500, ,000, 900 yearly
for the next three years.
The industrialists' plan suggests
temporary mention of some plants
for reparations. including
thermo electric and nitric acid
plants, and opening Of the North
Pacific to Japanese fishermen. Their
statement added this appeal:
TT is earnestly desired that the
United States Government take
full cognizance of the real nature Of
Japan's economic situation and give
to our plan for reconstruction it,
first consideration.
Secretary Recently Purged.
The unsigned proposal was writ
ten in English on Japan Industry
Club stationery. The club is COM
posed of major industrialists. Its
secretary is Keinosuke Zen, recently
purged from public Office. He for.
merly was head of the governments
economic Stabilization board.
The memorandum urges relaxa-
ton of restrictions on Japan's ex-
port trade after establishment Of
the proposed credit, because the
countrys national economy cannot
maintain equilibrium in the
face of continued accumulation OF
an adverse trade balance"

Lefiisis Nearly Block
French LIBERALIZATION
OF Rhine PaIafinaie
" II. A.soe;o,sd Pres.

BADEN-BADEN, Germany, May
.l9.-Leftist opposition in the Rhine
Palatinate narrowly missed blocking
Frances progrom for liberalization
of its German occupation zone, re-
turns from yesterdays elections dis
closed today.
The French military government
reported that an all-night count OF
ballots showed that the Palatinate
had ratified its proposed state con-
stitution by bare majority OF 52.S
per cent.
The other two states in the
French zone - South Baden and
Wuer tt m berg Hohenzollern-
adopted their constitutions BY
smashing majorities Of 67.9 and 69.S
per cent respectively.
The Christian Democratic Union,
composed chiefly of Catholic farm
ers. won the majority OF seats in the
new parliaments of South Baden
and Wuerttemberg Hohenzoliern,
but got only plurality in the Rhine
Palatinate.
Coalition Loses Narrowly.
In that state a coalition of Social
Democrats and Communists won
a p.. cent OF the new Landtag's
seats while the CDU obtained Al
per cent. The issue remained in
douot until 8 am. when two Cath
ollc IistrEss near Coblenz came i'll
with belated returns.
The CDU also barely carried a
separate constitutional provision for
the + liatinate reyiving public sup
port for parochial schools. This
measure was ratified in a separate
Referendum by majority of 52.3
per cent.
The Rhine Palatinate's new con-.
stitution, although more socialistic
than those of the other states, was
attacked by left wing elements as
a weak compromise" on the ques-
ton OF extending public ownership
to key industries and as a wedge
to breaking Up Germany into a
series of small, weak states
Until the Palatinate's complete
vote became known French officials
appeared concerned lest rejection
of the constitution by the number
one state adversely affect their
program.
French Tardiness Criticized.
All other occupation zones already
have elected parliaments and es-
tablished a basic state law. Failure
of the French to keep abreast has
been the target of some critics on
the ground that it has hindered po-
litical and economic collaboration
especially with the American and
British zones.
The constitutions of the three
states in the French zones are mod
eled on western political lines, in
cluding bill of rights. South Ba-
den's constitution also forbids mill
tary conscription of any of its
citizens.
Approximately 1000, 900 Germans
voted in yesterdays elections, repre-
senting some 10 per cent of those
eligible. In contrast to dull political
campaigns elsewhere in the zone,
the campaign in the Rhine Pala-
tinate was fought out. to the last
possible minute.
Catholic priests told their congre-
cations on Sunday morning of plans
to distribute papal gift of so grams
OF fat per person, bringing from
the leftists a charge that the Cath
olic church was trying to buy
votes" ,..-

Oct. Is Delayed For several days
before the sledge party left, was
tremendously excited. 1t seemed
that the day would never arrive.
At last the teams were hitched
up; we ran about attending to last
minute details and getting final in
structions. Soon we were on our
way across the great northeast
glacier. Climbing 600 feet, we came
out of the mist into beautifully
clear day. The sun shone down on
a great white expanse, though our
greatest obstacle, the high plateau
ahead, was still hidden from us.
The snow surface seemed solid
and secure, But under the thin
crust there are innumerable Gre
vases, some veritable ice chasms,
they are so wide and deep. Every
so often, we passed great gaping
holes in the glacier floor which
seemed to drop into nothingness.
We wore skis, so we were rarely
troubled by crevasses; but from time
to time a dog would break through
the crust. paving thin air until his
teammates in harness pulled him
across. The others behind then
jumped the gap. The men usually
wear safety line tied to the sledge
and to the team.
High Winds Anticipated.
. Some few hours after noon on
the first day, we noticed snow
plumes on the ridges OF the high
mountains on both sides of us. We
knew we were in for wind. So Ne
pitched camp after climbing over
1000 feet in 13 miles to the steep
glacier slopes at the front of the
mile-high plateau.
While putting up the tents, we
heard booming giants roar: It
was spectacular avalanche a
couple of miles away. We watched
second great mass of snow and ice
fall 1000 feet or so and then, SEEM
ingly, explode on the glacier below.
A column of snow spray shot up
about 500 feet.
The wind reached us as we were
putting the final touches to our
camp. Already low drift was FORM
ing, SO we secured everything
tightly in order to be able to wait
out the storm in this unprotected
spot. The wind grew faster through
the night. The tent walls tapped in
and out with deafening slaps and
slams. The snow weighing down
our tents was driven oil time and
again. SO that We had to 60 out in

The wind kept up for five days.
1t reached 80 m.p.h. by this time,
almost all the loose snow had blown

erous and, somehow, -menacing.

do but wait 1T out, lying in sleeping
