Mansfield lnvents Improvement For
Submarine Rescue Vessels OF USA
Grants Govt
Royalty-Free
Licenses

Raymond p. Mansfield, Boats
vain Mate, second class, u. S.
Navy, is man of vision who
saw the need for an improve
ment in a specific marine device,
and on his own initiative, went
ahead and devised the improve
ment, and by SO doing, has made
an important contribution to the
navy in general and to submarine
rescue vessels in particular.
Mansfield, who has been at
tached to the submarine rescue
vessel, USS Petrol, since July,
l949, had observed that the
standard pelican hook used in
mooring submarine rescue
vessel above a sunken submarine
was not as good as he thought it
should be. Using the standard
pelican hook as the basis of the
Invention, Mansfield made draw
ings during his own spare time
and submitted the idea for a
test. The invention which is a
combination pelican and moor
ing hook was tested exclusively
by the U S. Navy for two years,
and at the present time the Navy
is undertaking the preparation
and prosecution of a patent ap-
plication for this new invention.
The youthful inventor has agreed
to grant royalty-free, non-ex-
elusive license to the u. S. Gov
eminent, but has requested as
signment of all foreign rights.

Associated Press Science Reporter
WASHINGTON tR-An Air Force
scientist told today of rocket
catapulted so miles up into space
with live monkeys and mice
aboard.
1t was a preliminary test aimed
at learning eventually whether
man can fly in outer space. Or
in the border zone of space rang

above the earth.
The mice are still living and
propagating freely.
The five monkeys survived the
actual flights but four of them
were killed when parachutes car
rying them back to earth failed.
The fifth monkey landed all right
but died of heat prostration in the
New Mexico desert.
The account, which outdoeS a lot

All the monkeys actually slept
through their 1000 mile an hour

However, as they rode in the
nose of a rocket, they were
equipped with instruments for
measuring pulse, breathing, heart

the information was radioed back
to the earth all during flight.
The mice were not given any
morphine. And their chamber was

NEW YORK RL-With spring

These formerly depressed and now

the companies refused to capitu-
late on the issue of the union
shop, which means compulsory

The companies oppose COM
pulsory union membership
because:
/. Freedom of choice to join
or not join any organization
is a basic American right.
2. Compulsory unionism will
give union leaders monopoly
power over employment in
this basic industry.
The old. "Yellow-Dog" con-
tract, now prohibited by law,
forced the employee to agree he
zvould not join a union. The
Unions claim, rightly, that this
contract violated mans right
to work. Now the Union is at
tempting to force a man to Join
a union when he gets his Job. Is
there any difference in principle
in these two cases?
Free choice benefits all
Unions can and do render
useful service for their members.
But, our employees will be as
sured of a better and more
effective union if the right of free
choice for the employee is pre-
served.
We are now engaged in

freedom. We are spending vast
sums of money to re-arm and to

our blood and spending our
treasure in foreign lands for the
sake of individual freedom. This
freedom at home must be pro-
tected from every threat.
