Deep in our hearts lies a picture,
Of our dear Bobby laid to rest !;

probably will be reduced, but it
will be done by the attrition
method, rather than by firing any

The agencies also have been told
both by the Budget Bureau and

expect to add $4,000 new en-

For Atomic Torpedo to Navy

Il think that when you find a

indusing electricity into it. that
you should make an atomic tor
pedo,' Tommy wrote.
His sketch proposes that the
torpedo have button in its nose
like a switch on a flashlight.
When the torpedo hits its objec-
tive, the button would act as an
electric switch, completing a cir
cult and supplying the electricity
necessary to set off the bomb.
Admiral Noble said he has sent
Tommy's sketches to Navy en-
gineers working on torpedoes and
bombs.
1T is quite possible that some
of Tommy's ideas may already be
in use or may be included in new
