Stain Peace Prize
Award Group Named
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The Moscow
radio announced today the ap-
pointment of a 12-man committee
which will award the first interna- -
tional Stain peace prizes.
Prime Minister Stalin's 10th
birthday last year was the occa-
sion for special decree setting
up prizes of 100000 rubles 1925 900
by Soviet evaluation) each to from
5 to 10 persons who in the Rus
sion view contribute most to
strengthening the peace of the
world.
The decree set December 81,
1950-Stalin's birthday-for an
nouncement of the first prizes.
But the birthday passed last
Thursday without even announce
ment of the committee to pick the
prize winnerS
The committee included leftists
who have participated prominent
ly in the Communist-sponsored
peace congresses. A vice chair
man is Chinese Communist
writer.

made. Rather, complete analy-
sis of cost-of- living factors and
the way in which Federal workers
have Jared in salary increases
since 1910, will be submitted to
Congress.
In other words, the administra-
ton will leave it up to Congress
to take any initiative regarding
another Government pay raise.
This is similar to the administra-
tons attitude in 1948 when it
didn't specifically advocate Gov
ernment pay boost. but offered no
objections when Congress con-
sidered the pay legislation.
Another important study now
being made is the one concerned
with annual and sick leave, also
at the request of the Senate Civil
Service Committee.
Attempt Would Face Fight.
Here, too, no specific recon-
mendations will be made to Con-
gress. However, the administra-
ton is cool to any proposal to re-
duce leave privileges and might
actively oppose such move
should any such legislation to this
effect be introduced in Congress.
1t should be recalled that the ad-
ministration opposed the leave
cutting rider offered earlier this
year by Senator Douglas, Demo-
crat, OF Illinois.
WORKWEEK-The administra-
ton also is studying the possibility
of a six-day workweek for Federal
employees as a result of the nation
al emergency.
However, it appears that for the
time being. at least, Federal en-
ployes generally will remain on a
40-hour week.
In the defense and security
agencies, those employees whose
services are vitally needed are be-
ing placed on Al or 48-hour work.
weeks as the need arises, but for
the most part even defense agency
workers will remain on a 40-hour
week.
OF course. should the Korean
war spread into global conflict, a
48-hour workweek in Government
would be inevitable.

being studied is regular holidays
for Federal employees.
During the last war, Federal
workers were required to skip all
holidays except Christmas.
Federal officials are now study
ing the possibility of curtailing
holidays during the present emer-
gency. It's been decided. however,
that for the time being, all Gov
eminent holidays will be observed.

DUAL COMPENSATION-Final
approval by Congress is hoped for
this week on the bill to permit
Federal and District government
employees to hold two Government
jobs provided the combined maxi
mum salary is not more than
$4,000 year.
The House and Senate have both
approved the legislation and now
only minor differences between the
two measures have to be worked
out by House Senate conferees.
Agreement is considered certain.

employment increased by $1,000

Wind Tunnel Blasts

In Supersonic Tests

than $500 miles an hour-eight
times the speed of sound-have
been recorded in wind tunnel tests,
the Navy disclosed today.
Rear Admiral A. c. Noole, chief
of the Navy's Ordnance Bureau,
said these supersonic air expert
ments and related studies promise
invaluable data for the design of
faster flying and longer range
weapons.
The speed of sound varies with
temperature. At sea level, with
the temperature at SO degrees,
sound travels at 761 miles per
hour. But in the frigid strato-
sphere, at 81 below zero, its speed
Is only 662 m.p.h.
Thus, theoretically at least.
eight times the speed of sound
would be somewhere between 5,296
and 6,088 m.p.h.
Other High Speed Tests.
Commenting on Admiral Mobiles
statement, an official of the Ma
tional Advisory Committee on
Aeronautics told a reporter that
Wind-tunnel tests at the Califor-
mia Institute of Technology have
simulated speeds 10 times faster
than sound
Reporting significant progress"
in the science of air speed since

A needle-nosed craft. the XII

a total of $4,000 horsepower. It
uses alcohol and liquid oxygen as
fuel and can remain aloft about
2l2 minutes.
Admiral Noble issued his state
ment in commenting on papers
prepared by air research scientists
for symposium sponsored by the
Navy Ordnance Bureau last No
vember at the Defense Research
Laboratory, University of Texas,
Austin. Tex.
Tells of Report.
He said DR.. Wegener submitted
a report describing wind tunnel
tests in which "the air flow at
tained a velocity greater than
eight times the speed of sound
and about three times the projec-
tile velocities of World War IL"
Admiral Mobiles statement con-
tinued:
This tremendous speed was OBJ
tanned by causing air at consider
able pressure to flow through a
rectangular nozzle, scarcely wider
than the thickness of several
sheets of paper, into an expanding
throat" .. --.
Bolted-down models are used in
wind tunnels to study problems
encountered by fast-flying bodies,
such as air resistance or drag"
heat from friction, and suction at
the base of the missile.
Some mathematical problems
arising from the tests are so COM
pleX that with ordinary calculat-
ing methods it would have re-
quired 10 years to work out the
answers.

Staff Of 5000 Here
And 5000 in Field
Scheduled for NPA

The National Production Au-
thority is planning a staff of 5000
in Washington and 5000 in the
field by next summer.
The agency now has about 75o
employees, and one NPA official,
refusing to list jobs available, said
today the agency is looking for
good, qualified employees almost
across the board"
The staff expansion is necessary
as the agency's control and al
location builds up with increased
military production.
September Is Target Date.
September l was put as the ap-
proximate target date for the
900 figure, but there are pos
sibilities that it will be reached
earlier. The agency is about to
launch Controlled Materials
Plan, under which steel, copper
and aluminium are carefully con-
troled with every order involving
those metals matched against the
available supply.
Earlier this year it was pre-
dicted that the plan would be in
operation by about July /, but
the agency is taking steps now to
organize it and it may be in
| operation earlier.
When the July l prediction was
made the question was raised of
the size of the staff to operate
it and the reply was that the
World War II War Production
Board, which originally de-
veloped the Controlled Materials
Plan, had $4,000 employees.
Field Offices Set Up.
An NPA official explained the
agency intends to decentralize as
much as possible, so the number
of employees in the field viii
exceed those here.
Offices in various cities already
have been set up. Where the
Commerce Department has Offices
elsewhere they have been usec
and expanded by NPA, which has
also set up eight Offices in cities
where the Commerce Department
has none.
NPA now is housed chiefly ir
the Commerce Department, with
some Offices across Constitution
avenue in temporary buildings
Agency personnel expect they will
be moved to the Boston House
Apartment Building nearing COM
pletion at Seventeenth street anc
Massachusetts avenue. The Gov
ernment is negotiating for it.
Sterilization Agency to Expand.
Another unit set for big expan.
sion is the Economic Stabilizatior
Agency, which is making skeleton
organization plans.
The once OF Price AdminiStra-
ton in World War II had $4,000
employees, 5000 of them in Wash.
ington. Only about 1900 in the
field were concerned with. com.
pliance and enforcement. esq
hopes this figure can be reduced
by a campaign of voluntary com
pliance. OPA also had 225,O0t
volunteer workers.
ESA expects to get along with
a smaller organization than OPi
had. In the field it is planning
regional offices in perhaps a dozer
areas throughout the country. I
has no field employees now ant
only about 200 in Washington.
