built-the atomic cannon. Gen.
j. Lawton Collins. Army Chief
Of Staff, has given the order
for large-scale production Of
this, the worlds first atomic ar
tillery. 1t repeatedly is four
times as accurate as a standard

2. A new attachment which
permits a gun to shoot around
corners. This is an idea de-
veloped by Army Ordnance for
the NIB .45-caliber submachine
gun, which is enabled to de-
fleet a bullet at a 90-degree
angle. The attachment was
turned out at Detroit Arsenal as
a possible answer to enemy
hitch-hikers on tanks.
3. An experimental light
weight .30-caliber rifle, semi
or full-automatic, with a 20
round magazine. Its cyclic tate
at full-automatic is approx
mately 700 rounds a minute.
1t weighs about 8 pounds, 1A
pounds less than the old MI
The new rifle is illustrated
above. Five elected cartridge
cases in mid-air give an indi-
cation of how rapidly it can fire.
4. Army Ordinances new
heavy TAB tank. This is the
first heavy tank ever scheduled
for quantity production in the
United States. Armed with a
120-mm. gun, it is said by Army
officials to be able to outslug
any land-fighting machine ever
built.
5. The Walker Bulldog tank,
also being manufactured in
quantity. A fast. maneuverable
vehicle, it is classed as light"
because of it's 26-ton overall
weight, and its cavalry and re-
connaissance mission. It's punch
is in a new high-muzzle-ve-
locity 76-mm. gun.
Navy Developments
The Navy has kept pace. In
the past year it has expanded
from $4,000 men and 573 &C
tive vessels (only 200 of them
combatant) to more than double
that size. BY June 30, it will
have 100000 men in uniform
and 1900 active vessels, more
than 400 of them combatant.
Its big carriers have been in
creased from 7 to IA. Seven
carrier groups have been added
to the naval air arm.
In the same period, the Ma
rines, although heavily engaged
in Korea. built their strength
from $4,000 to $4,000 men. BY
the end of June they expect to
top 235 900. organized into three
divisions and three air groups.
The Navy already has re-
turned to duty 526 vessels of
the "mothball" fleet, carefully
preserved after World War II.

Dice Politics

For some three weeks now a
game entitled Politics." with a
subtitle of ELECT Yourself
President" has been on display
in the show window of the local
branch of F. A. o. Schwarz Co.
1t is packaged by Parker Bros.
in a neat Neutrality-suspicious.
box. on whose cover a picture
of Uncle Sam broods over the
Capitol Building. In front of the
Capitol an elephant and donkey
face each other inscrutably.
So what do politics-bedeviled
Washingtonians do? Do they
flee from this game as from
the plague, shun it as they
would shun poison ivy?
They do not.
They flock in droves. in a
sort Of masochistic mass mania.
to buy the store clean out Of
its stock of Politics" games.
Lucky Jump
Schwarz' seems to have got
the jump on much of it's COM
petition insofar as this partic-
ular item is concerned, though
other toy stores are going polit-
ical as fast as possible. When
your reporter greeted him the
other noon, Schwarz' local
manager, Kurt P. Lauscher,
had the UNDERSTANDABLE jumpy
manner of a man caught be-
tween two strong emotions. He
was gratif1ed by the land-office
business his shop is doing with
Politics" And he was aston
ished by the fact that WASH
ington had taken this partic-
ular game so paSsionately to
its bosom.
"JuSt no accounting for such
things" he said. "One morning
shortly after Easter, l was
checking the regular monthly
merchandise list from our main
store in New York. Our usual
popular numbers were available
for recorder Sioux Indian
War Bonnet, Medusa Swimming
Mask, Aqua Goggles, Fat Boys
Game, Giggle Pool, Boom!-and
so on. Well. I saw this new
number, Politics. From the bare
listing, couldn't quite figure
out what it was, but I ordered
a CLANCY two dozen. When they
came. put one in the window.
The rest is history"
Gould have look at one?"
"Why. sure" said Mr.. Lausch-
er. hauling Politics" game off
shelf. This is the last one
have on the premises, except
the one in the window. We've
put in recorder after recorder,
and sold them out, until I'm
fairly at my wits end. People
won't even look at 'Parcheesi'
any more: I'm waiting for a
new gross Of Politics right now,
and praying it will get here to-
morrow"
He opened the box lovingly.
Dice. Pins and Speeches
The game of Politics" turned
out to consist of a folding map
of the United States, six enve-
lopes of colored pins, some
very odd little cards labeled
Speech Cards." three dice
Including a green one) and a
leaflet. Mr.. Lauscher handed
your reporter the leaflet, re-
marking: Its all very educa-
tional. very instructive. After

In reality. there are a few
differences between winning a

There are, for example, limita-

possible to squeeze only $50

Each player gets three, which
he can play when it is advan-

one card helps player win

broad Dixie accent. this decla-
ration helps a player take South
Carolina. Uttered with a nasal
twang, the same card sews up
Vermont for him.
LobyrintspeI and Pogo Sticks
The run on Politics" is the
third heaviest Schwarz has ever
experienced on a single item.
The second heaviest occurred
last January on a game called
"Labyrintspel." That buying
spree was touched of when
Garry Moore. the radio come
dian. put "Labyrintspel" on tele-
vision.
The all-time high run also
involved politics. It occurred
about a year ago. after that
photograph of Senator Ke-
fauver on a pogo stick appeared.
Several thousand people, slim
ulated to the point Of frenzy
by the picture. called up the
Kefauver Office to find out
where he got his pogo stick.
You can imagine the ensuing
mob scenes at the store. which
sold over thousand pogo
sticks before that particular
hysteria ran it's course.
1t seems somehow fitting that
a toy store should be so acutely
affected by current political
events, television comedians
and pictures of United States
Senators hopping up and down
on pogo sticks. It just goes to
show how intimately every
thing is related to everything
else, in this complex and deli
cate organism we call civiliza-
ton.

II. S. Steps Up Fight on Insects
In BIOLOGICAL Defense Measure

Rosy apple aphid common in
the Hudson Valley and reported
in Western New York"

By Fronk Corey
Assoeiotsd Press Science Editor

The Government has taken new
steps to gear up it's normal war
on insects. At the same time, it
seeks to provide a skeleton defense
against use of bugs
in biological warfare. -
The Agriculture Department has
set up a Nationwide Insect De-
lection and Reporting Service.
States and private industry are
cooperating.
A new service of the Depart
Iment's Bureau of Entomology and
Plant Quarantine, it represents
an intensification of effort previ-
ously carried on in more limited
way.
It also ties in with established
programs of the Department S
Bureau of Animal Industry and
Bureau of Plant Industry and the
program of the United States
Public Health Service.
The new plan is an attempt tc
coordinate the efforts of all ento-
mologists in keeping the country
currently informed on insects in
general. Clearing houses have
been or will be set up in virtually
every State.
Each State will report weekly
to the department, which will
combine the information and dis
tribute it nationally. ..
| DR.. Avery S. Hoyt, chief of the
Bureau of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine, says, "We believe that
timely reports could save millions
! in crops and livestock damage"
| He believes the setup offers ar
opportunity to detect new species
of insects before they gain foot
hold.

While both unions had
several Negroes recruiting

group of tank employees
banded together to decide
which union was best for the
Negro and attempted to
swing the race vote for the

The reason that the race
vote was all-powerful is that
about one third or more of
