New Tank
Unveiled
By Army
ALMOST AS EASY
TO HANDLE AS A
NEW AUTOMOBILE
BY ELTON c. FAY

NEWARK, Del. REThe Army
Tues. unveiled what it called the
first completely new medium tank
to be developed since World War
H-streamlined, more powerful,
and almost a. easy to handle as
Z new automobile.
Designated the MAS. or 'Patton
49," it is being produced at the
Chrysler tank plant here and at
two other arsenals. Officials said
stable deliveries are expected be-
fore the end of the year.
The tank. in the IS to 50-ton
class, has several notable new
features:
I. A lower silhouette than any
other American tank of CORE
spending size. Present u. S. tanks
have been criticized because their
height makes them easily spotted.
2. An egg-shaped, sloping clip
teal hull and turret. This makes
it harder for an enemy shell to
get q "bite" into the armor.
3. Wider treads than present
medium tanks. The wider the
tread, the better the tank can
operate on muddy roads, in
swampy terrain or in snow.
4. A 90-millimeter, high velocity
gun with a quick change tube.
Using only simple tools, the liner
of the gun barrel can be changed
in the field in minutes instead of
sending the tank back to rear
areas for replacement of a whole
new gun when repeated firing has
worn the rifling of the tube.
S. A .50-caliber machine gun on
top of the turret which can be
aimed, fired and loaded from with

gunner have to stand with head
and shoulders exposed to enemy

Toduy's
Business
Mirror
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-Businessmen
believe that watering down of con-
trolls should boost few prices and
play trifling part in adding to
pay checks.
They hold that government con-
trolls already have been superseded
in most instances by an oder law
the law of supply and demand.
Some jubilant builders think
more homes may be started when,
and if, mortgage terms are made
easier. But the new controls law
has a safety valve. The President
can slap mortgage curbs back on
if runaway home building threat
ems to exhaust materials needed
in defense work. And housing cred
it agencies say Dec. ] is the earli-
est any changes in the rules could
be made.
Business reaction to the new law,
with its fewer teeth, is largely
that controls are petering out any
way.
Food supplies, in general, are
adequate and most prices have
fallen below the ceilings.
Clothing prices are also below
ceiling, and most of the textile
and apparel industries have al
ready been decontrolled.
Rent controls can be retained,
if the local community wants them.
And anyway in spite of controls,
rents in general have gone steadily
but slowly higher since the war.
Most of the effect of the new
law will be concentrated. as in
the past, on raw materials-chief-
ly metals-that are in short supply
and therefore allocated to defense
industries. But even here, the end
of many of these scarcities is in
sight.
Under direct controls, you can
never really lower wages" Gard
ner Ackley, economic adviser to
the Office of Price Sterilization,
said at an economic forum of the
National Industrial Conference
Board.
"You can only hold them or
raise them. If any prices are ever
to come down. they have got to
come down by market forces and
then be caught before they start
back up again too far
But the chances of prices rising
again soon seem slight to the Fed
eral Reserve Bank Of New York.
1t says in a study released this
week: 'Inflationary pressures
seem to have receded for the pres
ent throughout most of the world.
Prices are once again being tested
by consumer resistance"
AS Tor food prices, the house
wife is given a large part of the
credit by Paul S. Willis, president
of the Grocery Manufacturers of
America.
I'VE have an adequate total sup
ply of food" he says. "And when
We do, then free competition, un-
hampered by red tape, plus the
expert shopping by the American
| homemaker become the best con-
trollers of prices"
Willis calls continuation of con-
trolls over the food industry "a
needless burden and expense to
business and the taxpayer.
Weakening of wage controls will
mean little, businessmen contend,
because with consumers resisting
prices as they are, management
can't pass wage bosts along any
more in the form of higher prices.
From now on, management is
likely TO be tougher at the nego.
tiating table. And many business
men contend that wage controls
have been weak all along

Conferees 10 Decide
On Amount Of Funds
For Flood Program
BY the Associoted Press

The House and Senate, SITS
million apart, left to a conference
committee today the decision on
the size of the country's flood
control and navigation program
for the coming year.
The Senate. passing its Army
civil functions appropriation bill
by voice vote yesterday, put the
total at $667,4 ,474.699. The House
earlier had voted $492 ,434 900. A
joint committee of the two houses,
yet to be named, must compromise
the differences.
AS passed by the Senate, the bill
carries 1903, TIT 200 for flood-con-
troll projects. $277.135. 900 for nav
igation projects, $62, 100000 for

The Senate bill is IS per cent
above the House bill but still
some $45 million or about GA per
cent under President Truman's
recommendations.
In approving the bill the SEN

reduce the amount. Senator
Douglas. Democrat, of Illinois,

CoIiforniio|s Gen. Evans Goinq
To Miami as City Manager
Director of Reserve
Officer Group Admits
Weather Is Pleasant

! Brig. Gen. E. Arthur Evans had
better give California a wide berth
in the future.
"The weather in Miami" he
said. "is pleasant. Mrs. Evans
and I are looking forward to
returning"
Gen. Evans, who was born in
Oklahoma but mostly is native to
California, is going to Miami in
August to take over as city man
|ager. He now is director of the
Reserve Officers Association here.
Miami will not be unfamiliar to
the general. During World War
II. he went there as head of the
Florida subsector of the Eastern
defense command, two days after
the German submarine landing
on the East Coast in 1912.
II kept pretty we'll hidden the
fact I was from California" he
said. II confessed eventually
when the Kiwanis Club made me
an honorary member. The day
was hot. The hotel was not air.
conditioned. It was so warm the
members couldn't finish their
lunches.
when they asked me to say a.
few words. had to confess I was
from California.
"And,' I added, the weather
there is nothing like it is here >"
Much to DO.
Gen. Evans already has the
interests of Miami in mind.
"It's growing city," he said
expansively. There's a lot that
needs to be done in the way of
development, and there are a lot
Of plans on paper"
When he moves into the $25,-
job, the general. whose
background is engineering. will
find many tasks facing him.
There is plan for sewage dis
posal development. Sewage now
is dumped in the ocean. Parking
problems plague Miami, as they
do all major cities. City Offices
are scattered and need to be
brought into a central city hall.
But Gen. Evans isn't making
public any thoughts he may have
on how these tasks are to be &C
compliShed-at least not until he
gets there and looks over the sit
uation.
Miami has a tremendous pro-
gram for civic improvements" he
said.
Gen. Evans got his engineering
training through extension courses
from the University of California
and the University Of Wisconsin.
World War I knocked out his plans
to attend Massachusetts, Institute
Of Technology.
After serving as an instructor |
until II days before the armistice,
Gen. Evans came to Washington
to head the personnel department
in the Coast Artillery. When the
war ended, he was placed in the
Reserves, and went to California |
to take up his private life. |
Formed Own Business.
He worked for an architectural
firm in Southern Cali
fornia until he set up his own busi-
ness in Los Angeles. One of his |
major jobs was rehabilitation of
schools after the Long Baech
earthquake Of 1887.
He was recalled to active duty in |
November, 1910, and remained on
active duty until the middle of
1945, when he took command of
the Reserve Officers Association. |
In that job, he has instigated
and accomplished a broad pro-
gram for making the Reserves
more attractive to enlisted men.
One of his projects was the legis-
lation that gives Reserves a small
pension after 20 years service.
