Reds Try 10 Whip Up
German Protests on
Allies Ruhr Control
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Jan. 15-Russian-c con-
trolled newspapers sought today to
whip up mass protests by the Ger
mans against the Western Allies on
the issue of the Western Powers
control of the Ruhr.
The Communist-directe German
Peoples Congress of the Soviet zone
called meetings to condemn what
it described as the "Ruhr dictate
and the Allied occupation statute. "
Reds Ask Share in Control.
The Ruhr statute provides for
control of the iron and coal pro-
'ducing center by an authority COM
posed of six Western powers-the
United States, Britain, France, Bel
gium, the Netherlands and Luxem-
bourg-and Germany when she has
a government. 1t also is designed
to prevent the Ruhr from being used
for the rearming of Germany. Rus
sia has asked that Soviet authori-
ties be allowed to participate in
management of the Ruhr.
Taegliche Rundschau, official So
Wet army newspaper here, con-
demned the statute and the arrest
by the British of Max Reimann,
Western Germany's No. l Com
munist Reimann was picked up
two days ago on charge of threat
ening German politicians who CO.
operate with the Western Allies
under the Ruhr statute.
Great Indignation" Reported.
Declaring that great indignation"
had been aroused by Reimann's ar
rest, Taegliche Rundschau said:
The German people will not let
itself be gagged"
The newspaper said the only case
the British had against Reimann
was that he opposed the theft of
the Ruhr" by the Allied statute 1t
added:
And the German masses realize
it is only because Reimann fights
against every enslavement of the
German working people that he
should now be silenced."
The Neues Deutschland. official
organ Of the Communist controlled
Socialist Unity Party, said: Every
democratic German. every one who
loves/his homeland, stands with Max
Reimann on this question"

NEWBURG, Md, Jan. ID
Maryland State Police today asked
the armed services to check a plane
which repeatedly dropped bomb
outside target areas near the 'Po-
tomac River Bridge, about l mile
from here.
The bomb fell close to the car
of Deputy Sheriff Bruce Shyman-
sky of Charles County. who is still
one jump ahead of fate
Three weeks ago, he narrowly es-
capped death when an alcohol stove
used up oxygen in the cabin of a
pleasure cruiser he was plotting
from Point Lookout to Cobb Island
Completely recovered, the deputy

day when:
Il heard a dull zoom, Just ahead

aircraft as they are known today,
Mr.. Sullivan reported to Defense
Secretary Forrestal.
There have been radical changes
in Navy ordnance especially in
aviation ordnance which in the next
five years will probably differ greatly
from that in use during World War
H." he said.
Whether this referred to the
possibility of Navy carrier-based
planes dropping an atom bomb was
not made clear. Mr.. Sullivan did
state that the potentialities OF
atomic energy and is naval applica-
tions are limited only by imagina-
ton"
To avoid mass damage OF atomic
bombs, Mr.. Sullivan said the huge
fleet of laid up ships was scattered
at 20 points on the East, West
and Gulf coasts and decentraliza-
tion of shore stations and bases
was being weighed as a protective
measure.
The report showed the Navy is
working on guided missiles designed
to operate from air to sub-surface,
surface to air, air to air and sur
face to surface. Defense against
even rudimentary guided missiles
is difficult" but the perfect missile
is a long way off, Mr.. Sullivan said.
The Navy is trying to develop
smaller, high-power electronics sys-
TENS for aircraft to be used in
support of pilotless planes, the use
of exhaust gases in jet aircraft to
lay smoke screens and ground
control approach for carrier planes,
the report revealed.
1t also showed that a radar trans
mitter had been developed which
can detect jet planes, heretofore
hard to catch on a standard rada1
screen.
But the central theme of Mr. Sui
livan's report was the rapidly "ris-
ing - price of peace
IF present financial trends ane
international conditions persist, tht
effect of the cost of adequate de.
fense upon the national economy
will require increasingly serious con.
sideration,' he declared. Deter
mining a fair price for our security
will not be easy in years to come.
AS an example of increased costs
Mr.. Sullivan pointed out that the
amount of money which would pay
for a complete squadron of 18 planes
in 1899 was lust bit more than
sufficient to buy two of todays com
parable fighter planes, which cost
$456, 900 each"
Although the Navy has beer
reaching back into the storerooms
and partly living off wartime sup.
plies. Mr.. Sullivan warned that the
cupboard soon would be bare.
Inevitably this will neces.
state increases in future appropria
tions," he said.
For the past three years the Navy
has been forced to defer much o.
the maintenance work on its shore
facilities and eventually this de.
ferred maintenance will have to bt
completed or facilities will suffer
damage for lack of the necessary
stitch in time" he added.
India's first fertilizer producing
factory in Bihar will produce 350.00C
tons of ammonium sulphate each
year when completed in 1850.

BOSTON, July 26-lR-A noun
tain climbing Boston scientist takes
off today to study the possibility
of setting up the worlds highest
cosmic ray observation post on
20000-foot Mount Mckinley.
Bradford Washburn, director OF
the Boston Museum, was scheduled
to leave by plane for Alaska, site
of Americas highest peak.
Washburn and other researchers
will conduct months recon-
Nuisance for the Office of Naval
Research. The project is sponsored
by the Navy, the Boston Museum
and the University of Chicago
Physics Department.
Washburn, the only observer
from this country, said the main
purpose is to find an observatory
site with proper foundation for. a
small permanent structure, highly
insulated and fire-proofed, some
$4,000 feet up the mountain.
He said temperatures at that
point are as low as 20 below zero
in the summer and 100 below in
the winter
The researchers also will have to
find the safest and simplest route
to any possible site.
Washburn, who has climbed Nc
Kinley twice, said the mountain is
ideal for cosmic ray observations as
it is relatively near the north mag
netic pole.
The Boston scientist also plans to
make flights over the mountain
with the Alaska Air Commands
10th Rescue Squadron. He is
credited with making the first
Photographic flight over the peak
for the National Geographic So
ciety in 1886.

today he has told the State De-

it can't get approval by Congress

or stopgap military supply pro-
gram until the projected North At

Tense committee to draft an overall

Vandenberg said, however, he will
withhold a decision on the amount
of arms to be supplied until State
Department officials have given
details Of the sl,450, 100000 pro-
pcsal to Congressional committees.
Il don't think it's my place to
