Review Of u. ). Policy
In Germany Asked
BY fhs Associofsd Press

A former occupation official
called today for full review" by
Congress and the White House Of
American policy in Germany.
Charles M. La Toilette, former
military governor of Wuerttem-
berg Baden, declared In a state
ment that United States officials
appear to have 'lost sight" Of the
American program to bring de-
mocracy.. to the former enemy
country. -
Mr.. La Toilette is national di-

In 1t, he said, a presidential
commission is "imperatively need

Similar statements have been

Ever since the Greater National
Capital Committee announced the
cherry blossom trees probably
would not blossom in time for the
festival this week end, officials
have been flooded with calls from
people with bright ideas.
One imaginative citizen told the
committee pigeons flying over the
Tidal Basin with lighted cans of
sterno attached to their legs
would produce enough heat to
bring out the blooms.
Jet planes also could solve the
problem another enthusiastic
caller said. He proposed that
three jet planes be anchored on
a barge in the basin.
The heat from the motors
would produce blossoms, he in
sisted.
The committee said it gets an
average of 10 calls a day, with
diabolic methods to approach
this tender subject"

Civil
War
Bomber
BY Stanley Baitx

vHNHIS is the story Of the
l. bomber that might have
won the Civil War for the
South-the bomber that was
never built.
A model Of this historically
potential aircraft Is OH dis
play at the Smithsonian In
stitution's Air Museum. A
helicopter of sorts. It was de-
signed by a Southern patriot
In the hope 1t might be used
TO break the Union blockade
Of Confederate ports. It never
got beyond the model stage.
and there were very few who
knew such an idea was ever
contemplated. It was. you
might say. one Of the best
kept secrets OF the war.
In 1852 the Confederacy
was being strangled by the
North's sea blockade. Indeed,
SO desperate was the South;s
plight that a reward of $780,
600 was offered to any one
who devised a means of break
Ing the blockade.
Down In Mobile, Ala, an
architectural engineer named
william C. Powers got to
thinking about the problem
and decided that what was
needed was an airship from
which to hurl explosives down
on the blockading naval YES
sells. He sat down to his draft
Evening star., 1950-05-07

ing board and came up with
something that revealed, &C
cording to Paul CARRIER, cura-
tor of the Air Museum, con-
siderable genius in the hith-
erto uncharted field of aero
nautics.
To be sure. both sides in
the war had taken to the air.
Gas balloons were being used
Evening star., 1950-05-07

for observation purposes, and
In this department the North
had far OutStripped the
South. The outstanding bal
loon expert for the North was
Prof. ThaddeuS Lowe, who di-
rected an armada of seven
balloons and furthermore had
devised mobile gas units for
filling the bags near the bat
tie lines. Some students of
the war say Union supremacy
In aerial observation saved at
least one campaign from ut
ter ruin.
To Powers, balloons were
not the answer. What he
wanted was a stable aircraft
that could carry a load of
explosives, move under its
own power and be steered
precisely. So he devised an
odd-looking craft on the hell
copter principle. 1t consisted
Evening star., 1950-05-07

of a hull, with two vertical
screws to raise it and two
horizontal screws to propel it.
1t had a rudder to guide it
and a steam engine in the
hull to rotate the overhead
shafting with gears connected
to the shafting of the screws.
The framework Of the hull
was to be a criSS-crosS Slat-
ting similar to that later used
in the BritiSh-made Blenheim
bombers. 1t was to be 68 feet
long.
The only trouble was that
1t couldn't fly. According to
Mr.. CARRIER. the power gen.
Grated by the steam engine
would not have been Suffi-
cient to propel the airship.
Nevertheless, he says, the
basic idea was fine-the idea
that an aircraft could be
lifted by helical screws.
Evening star., 1950-05-07

Powers apparently never
doubted that his ship would
fly. In fact, he was so sure
that 1t woodland boomerang
on the South-that he hid his
model and never did any
more about it. Suppose his
airship got shot down or made
a forced landing in enemy
territory. The North could
easily duplicate it and with its
superior mechanical resources
make it in quantity enough
quickly to overcome the
South.
So. rather than have the
South come TO destruction
through his own brain child,
Powers tucked away his model
and l6 sheets of drawings and
they lay undisturbed until
they came to light In 1910
and were turned over to the
Smithsonian.

pay) and volunteer (non-drill-
pay) reserves.
They'll be taken in the follow
ing order of priority until the
empty specialist billets are filled:
/. Air Force non-f1ying ROTC
graduates.
2. Reservists (volunteer and or
ganized with the greatest amount
of experience and training.
3. Those who have kept up their
specialist proficiency by reserve
training or in a civilian job. Can
electronics technician in the tele-
vision industry, for example.
would be very attractive to the
Air Force.)
4. Those reserviSts most recently
separated from active service.
Officers needed most are navi-
gators, bombardierS; communica-
tions, radio, radar and weather
specialists; medical, dental and
armament officers and a small
number in other categories.
Enlisted men needed most are
aircraft and engine mechanics;
radio, radar and armament spe-
cialists, and communications and
medical personnel. If you fall
into any of these categories, officer
or enlisted. you are likely to be
called. You'll be given 10 days
to take care of personal affairs.
How about pilots? The Air
Force has a whole flock of pilots
grounded by the economy pro-
gram. If it needs pilots, all it has
to do is give some of these fell
lows their wings back.
The Navy expects to get all the
men needed from its organized
reserve and its fleet reserve, made
up of those put on inactive duty
after 20 years service. The Ma
rines don't contemplate any in
voluntary recall of their voluntary
reservists.
Members of the ROTC-Army
Navy and Air Force-are exempt
from the draft during their junior
and senior years in college. The
exemption then ceases unless they
accept commissions and go on
active duty for two years.
Evening star., 1950-08-07

enDelope.)
Inactive reservists are some OF
the most confused citizens right
now. The Army, Air Force, Navy
and Marines are calling up some
of their organized drill-pay re-
serves.
But where do the fellows stand
whose only connection with their
service is diplomalike paper
(commission) hanging on their
wall, saying they're an officer in
one of the reserves? Or the fell
lows who have their names on
some reserve roster as an enlisted
man but do not attend drills,
much less draw pay for any re-
serve activity?
The present limited mobiliza-
tion may see the Army and Air
Force order up some of these re-
serviStS who are not now on a
drill-pay basis, but the Navy and
Marine Corps contemplate no
such move at the moment.
The Army is calling up few
smaller han-divisional National
Guard and organized reserve
units, and it says some volunteer
reserve officers who are special
lists are being called as individuals
and units. Most needed are med
ical and engineer officers.
Those who are called will be
taken in at their reserve rank
and given 80 days to clear up
their personal affairs.
The Army says its inactive re-
serve definitely is out of the pic
ture for the moment. however
The inactive reserve is made UP
of those who are overage in grade
and those who have a temporary
disability.
The Air Force is calling up "a
very limited number" of its Or
ganized reserve units, as we'll as
certain individual specialists
These specialists will be drawn
