Phone TV Looks Like Bad Deal

The British are going to be
the cause Of a lot Of muddling

ton ever gets a foothold in
these former colonies.
It's television-tele and
1t has the televiSion and tele-
phone men aghast.
Not that they mind q little
technical progress now and
then. What turns them pale is
the thought Of what might hap
pen in their personal lives. It
disturbs them so that they sud-
denly forget their names when
they're asked for an opinion.

Are Human Pilots Becoming Obsolete Weapons Wor?

expendable. Instead Of d bomb
bay grading an atomic bomb to
be released by q bombardier,
the entire plane is a deadly
weapon. 1t is nothing more
than a self-propelled atom
bomb ready to fire when its
"brain" gives the signal.
Rocket engines for these mis-
siles won't be built for thousands

thereby cutting production costs
tremendously. They would be
constructed for a one-way trip
only, at speeds Of 1900 miles
per hour. or better, they pre-
sumably could send a missile
into any target on earth in less
than nine hours.
The problem Of getting
enough trained manpower to
fly planes and to keep them
flying is getting rougher too,
according to MIR. Roberts. "Why
waste our men in almost sui
eide missions when a robot will
do the job?"
No Push Buttons Yet
Despite the obvious advan-
tages in using guided missiles
and saving life. there's little
chance that warfare in the near
future will be of the push
button" variety. Mr.. Roberts
points out. High-speed sub
sonic interceptor planes must be
manned to knock down the
the robots of an enemy. Straf-
ing Of enemy soldiers, ground
troop support and dozens of
other military missions still re-
quire human guidance. But. for
long-range bombing of cities
and big industrial targets, the
robot seems to be the answer.
The aircraft industry is look
ing ahead. Actually. Mr.. Roberts
explained. the business of de-
Gliding which type plane will be
built rests with the military.
In the meantime. the industry
Is crying for more young aero
nautical engineers who have
practical experience to augment
their theory. Personnel experts
are turning to the trade schools
in their search.
"The average plant needs only
one or two thermodynamic en-
gineers," Mr.. Roberts says, "but
always is short of men with the
more earthly knowledge Of
craftsmanship and mechanical
ability"

raising the friction tempera-
f. ture, Mr.. Roberts and others
are doubtful that cooling ma
chinery can be constructed
small and light enough. That's
one factor which will make 1t
difficult to use men to fly fu-
ture supersonic bombers.
Perhaps worst of all in the
supersonic plane, sharp maneu-
vering to evade attackers prob
ably would cause human pilots
to "black out" When that
happens, a plane enther crashes
or becomes a sitting duck for
an interceptor.
The Boeing company's new
est jet bomber, the Bat. points
up another reason why robot
controlled aircraft may super
sede the human-piloted type.
Robots are less expensive. The
BATS prototype, the B-50, re-
quired a crew of II men. BY
replacing manpower with elec-
tronic and mechanical devices,
the crew Of a BAT has been
reduced to four.
Regardless of the manpower
reduction, however, the same
rigid standards of crew protec-
ton must be maintained. Oxy-
gen equipment, pressurized
cabins, armor plate around crew
stations and defensive fire.
power are only a few Of the
factors involved.
$3.5 Million q Crosh
When a BAT crashes, it costs
$3.5 million, not counting loss
of life. The plane has a So mil
lion price tag. The cost of
training the four-man crew is
another half-million dollars.
In a robot-controlled bomber,
safety measures are eliminated.
There is no refrigerating equip
ment. Metallic parts are made
of metals that Withstand the
high temperatures. Oxygen,

power are unnecessary. The
Grew" remains on the ground,
guiding the missile by radio and
perhaps television.
There are no "blackouts" by
pilots, therefore higher speeds
are possible with less chance of
interception. Best of all, in the
eyes of aeronautical engineers.

Young Bob Matthias has already
broken most Of Jim Thorpe's
records. Now he's cunning for
an AlI-American football berth
BY ROBERT n. SHOEMAKER

TyfE boy on our cover is not just another good
il looking football player. He's Robert Bruce
Matthias and very possibly the greatest al-around
athlete on record The old guard can argue for the
fabulous Indian jim Thorpe, but Bob Matthias has
him stopped on almost all counts.
The tall 21-year-old kid from Tulare. Calf. is the
US and Olympic champ at Thorpes old speciality,
the grueIing IO-event decathlon He's the only man
in history to win the Olympic decathlon twice in
row l948and 1882 let alone break the worldsrecord
doing it. As far as being oneman track team goes,
comparison Of records shows Matthias topping Thorpe
in almost every event But Thorpe was also great
AlAmerica football player This fall will see whether
Matthias in his second year at fllback for Stanford
can match Old Jim On the gridiron, too.
7s The Toughest Test
EVEN if he makes All-American, though. the de-
cathlon will remain his greatest accomplishment This
muscletearng heart breaking grind consists of 10
different track and field events and is the most diff
cult test Of athletic skill and endurance ever devised
There are four running events 600, 400 and l.50O
meters and l10-meter hurdles) six field events Gave
Lin. discus, shotput pole vault broad jump and high
jump Bob set record for this fantastic endurance
trial in l948 when he was l7-year-old schoolboy.
This past summer he went through the whole thing
again at Helsinki and beat his own record
Today he's a big boy. six-three and weighing about
200 pounds. But when he entered Tulare High
School at the age of Is he mot only was too small
for amy kind Of football, he was too small to
make the school band. They cut down the smallest
uniform they had and it still wouldn't fit The follow
ing year. however, he started to grow 50 fast he
was too big for middleweight' football though not
old enough to play on the varsity squad 1t enough
to discourage any growing boy, and possibly that's
what got him interested in track.
In his junior year, however. he definitely made the
grade in football. The first time he carried the ball.
he went around his own left end on a reverse for
touchdown His mother and father were watching the
game and complained later that because of the tricky
ball-handGng IN the Tuare bacfeld they hadn't seen
him score Bob promised that in the future he would
hold the ball up in the air to show them he had it and
then take off for the goal line. He was kidding of
course - football isn't that easy even for Bob
Matthias.

Montana, Colorado, Idaho, Ari-
IONA, New Mexico, Wyoming,
North and South Dakota, and the

they've had their guesses, give

eral government spent an amount
equal to the total incomes Of all
the people living in this big

out the remainder Of Nebraska
and these additional states: Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Texas, Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Lou

state Of Alabama. When your

tailed up, it would be just enough
to pay the present expenses Of

A NEW GAME:
THE SHADOW"

Here's a new game to play in
your home. It could be called
"The Shadow" For materials you
will want an outline map of the
United States. Be sure you draw
in, roughly, the borders of the
individual 43 states. Johnny's or
Suzy's geography book will be
helpful in Shipping the states and
locating their borders. When the
outline map is completed, take a
black pencil and make a black
blotch over the lower two-thirds
of the state of California.
Now give your wife Cor hus-
band f children the privilege of
guessing the meaning of the sha-
ded area in California. If you
want to make it more of a game,
let the participants ask 10 ques-
tons, like they do on the radio
program Twenty Questions" to
get clues on the correct answer.
If they guess it, fine; if not, you
tell them. The answer is: The
shaded area in California repre-
sents what total federal govern
ment expenditures were for the
fiscal year 1929 in terms of the
total income Of people. In other
words, the federal government in
1929 spent for all purposes total
budget that could have been paid
by taking the total incomes of
the people in the lower two-thirds
of California.

The Council endorsed a letter
prepared by the mayor opposing
the closing Of the White Mountain
School, copies of which will be
sent to the proper authorities in
Washington, DC.
The Council has been investi-
eating the possibility of the city
obtaining the a bandoned Road
Commissioner buildings and right
of ways in the city and have been
advised that this can be done by
act of the Territorial Legislature.
Water bids for the city were
submitted by both the Pioneer
and Bronson Water companies.
AS both bids were identical, the
council agreed to divide the bust
ness between the two companies.
Ralph Lomen, who heads the
Cemetery Committee, has asked
the city to match the citizens
fund which he expects will top
$1,000 and that by ordinance a
plan be set up to have all graves
Of standard size and permanent
record be kept in a business-like

RAISE FOR 4,725,OOO

Some 4,725,O00 persons receiving Old Age
and Survivors insurance checks under Social Security
will receive hikes in payments beginning October 3,
the Federal Security Agency has announced. Total
monthly Social Security payments will rise from $685.
100000 to $50, 100000, it was said
This increase represents Is percent increase to
retired workers and their families and to dependent
survivors of workers. Persons now getting monthly
benefit payments need take action to get the in
crease since the increase is automatically provided by
new law passed in the recent session Of Congress.
Republicans have charged that the Admnistra-
ton timed the Social Security increases to coincide
with the election this year and the Democrats have re-
torted that the raises provided by Congress and
did not represent political effort
Whichever is true, the fact that 725 900 persons
receiving federal old age and survivors, insurance
checks'are getting increases the eve Of the election
might have some effect The $22 100000 to be added to
the monthly payments is likewise certain to be felt in
