AUSTRIAN Police

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-lR-The
United States, Britain and france
protested to Moscow today that
Soviet authorities are interfering
in the Austrian governments con-
troll over its police forces in the
Soviet zone.
The protests arose out of the
conduct of Soviet authorities last
month during Communist demon
STATIONS and riots in Austria.
The protest note was delivered to
the Soviet foreign office in Mos
COW by American Ambassador Alan
Kirk. The State Department said
that Britain and France also made
protests at the same time.

LITTLE INTEREST IN
EXTENSION OF RENT
CONTROL BY LOCALS

Not many letters have been re-
ceived at the City Hall presenting
local feelings on extension of rent
control. Mayor Waino Hendrickson
says.
A rent control hearing is sched-
uled at regular meeting of the
Juneau City Council on Nov. II.
The council is anxious to have both
sides of the question presented
either in person or through letters.
Rent controls will expire Decem-
Der 81 unless action is taken by
the city council, or Congress takes
action before that time.

Although no foul play is suspect

Aerial Mine Fields
May Make Bombers
Obsolete Weapons
By Marcel WoIIenstein
North American Newspaper AIIiance


PARIS, Dec. 25.-The bombing
airplane will become an obsolete
weapon before the end of another
war, in the opinion of European
experts who are working on de-
fense against aerial attacks. Both
the Russians and the Western
European nations are known to be
experimenting with the problem.
The new theory of defense
sounds fantastic, but is no more
so than the conception of radar
before it was worked out by Brit
ish scientists in the first year of
the last war. The idea consists
of filling certain areas of the
sky through which enemy bomb
ers are flying with rowing aerial
mines. It is in theory the same
system of defense used at sea.
Would Move About in Sky.
But instead of lying on the sea
bed or floating a short distance
below or on the surface, the aerial
mines are devised to move about
in specified areas. Experiments
so far made are said to have
been responsible for the flying
disk and flying cigar stories re-
Gently published in European
newspapers.
Radar is a device which bonn
bards the sky with electrical i'm
pulses. These impulses when they
come in contact with an approach
ing object register an image on
a screen.
The new aerial defense will be
used in conjunction with radar.
1t consists of thousands of small
projectiles fired from guns or by
rocket devices. The projectiles
circulate in controlled orbit for
a given length of time. On con-
tact with planes they will explode.
Time fuses will cause them to ex-
plode after the air raid to pre-
vent them from causing damage
by falling on inhabited areas.
The aerial mine field was first
tried out in primitive manner
in the Battle of Britain in the late
summer of 1910. A weapon known
as the rattling gun fired thousands
OF coiled wire springs at enemy
aircraft in the hope the wires
would entangle propellers. The
idea was not successful.
No Use Against Rockets.
Defense experts believe the new
aerial mine field can be used sue
cessfully to protect cities such as
London. Paris or New York against
the type of bombers now in use.
The defense would not work
against the W. type rockets which
travel at a speed of 1000 miles an
hour and fall to earth from enor-,
nous heights. No defense against
rockets, other than the destruc-
ton of their launching grounds,
has so far been devised.
FLAX ships of the kind used by
both Germans and British in the
last war are being constructed for
the British and French navies.
Presumably they will be equipped
with weapons for sowing the sky
with aerial mines. The French
Admiralty has just announced
that it is converting three cruisers
into antiaircraft ships. They are
two former Italian navy ships,
now named the Ghichen and the
Chateaurenault, and the French
cruiser De GraSse.

The year 1850 is going out with
loud bang for National Capital
Parks.
Supt. Edward j. Kelly, review
ing it's major achievements, has
reported to Secretary of the In
terror Chapman that he considers
it the outstanding year in the
history of the park system.
The recent addition of the
1,148-acre Greenbelt Park, five
miles north of the District, he
said, was the largest single ac-
QUESTION to the park system in
recent years. He claimed it makes
the National Capital Parks the
largest metropolitan regional park
system III the world, with a total
of more than $4,000 acres.
Nobody has estimated the mil
lions of people who used the
Washington parks = during the
year but the report stated about
Is per cent of the annual main
tenance budget went for cleanup
alone, evidence of the intensity
of public use and enjoyment of
park facilities.
At the Lincoln Memorial, more
than million visitors gave it the
brightest attendance recorded for
any national memorial in the
country.
Mr.. Kelly took over as superin-
tendent several months ago after
years of active service with the
park system. In his report to the
Interior Secretary. he cited the
muiti-million dollar Baltimore
Washington parkway. now under
construction. as probably the i'm
portant new project. OF almost
equal interest was Congressional
approval given the long planned
parkway proposed along the his.
toric Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
between Washington and Cum
berland. This would provide an
alternate route for eaSt-West
traffic.
The 4-lane Spout Run section
of the George Washington Me
mortal parkway was opened this
month, providing a connection at
Lorcom lane with the Lee high
way. However. there is consfd-
erable backfire since Virginia mo-
torists, returning home, can't get
direct access to the parkway from
Key Bridge. The Bureau of Pub
lie Roads, which built the park
way, refused to provide con-
venient access ramp because of
the high cost.

Rep. D'Ewart Seeks
Chrome Mine Opening

Washington, D. C. Especially
Rep. Wesley A. D'Ewart has called
upon the administration to re-
open operation of the chrome mines
in Saltwater county, Mont.
D'Ewart said the mines, operated
briefly during the last war, con-
tain IS per cent of the domestic
resource of chrome. He deplored
the fact that the mining facilities
have been permitted to deteriorate
since the war, and said this was
done over his repeated objections.
"We have to have chrome in war
or peace, and we cannot expect to
get it from Russia and other over
seas sources during val as we
have done in recent years. The time
to begin development of the Mon
tana chrome is now"
