1900 See How NAVY
Tests Ship Models
Al Carderock Basin

Washington area yesterday saw
a demonstration Of how the Navy
tests scale models Of its new
ships and airplanes.
From 10 am. to 4 pm, the
visitors filed through the multi
million dollar plant of the David
Taylor Model Basin at Carderock,
Md, on the banks Of the Po-
tomac north Of Washington.
Highlights of the "open house"
included:
/. An inclosed test basin now
more than a half-mile long
through which scale models Of
battleships, submarines or land
ing craft are propelled at speeds
up to u miles an hour.
2. A series Of underwater ex-
plosions In an outdoor basin
where tests were conducted in
miniature just after the war to
learn how the lagoon at Bikini
might react to an atomic bomb
detonated deep in the water.
g.. The shops for the precision
manufacture of wood and plastic
models Of all types Of naval
vessels.
4. Wind tunnels with speeds
ranging up to superSonic for
testing of scale model planes,
guided missiles and air bombs.
Atom Sub Being Tested.
The plant was completed in
the prewar years, and put in
operation just in time to pre-
test the big, revolutionary fleet
Of landing craft improvised to
meet the needs of amphibious
assaults on a scale never before
attempted.
Among new models being
tested now is the secret hull of
the projected atomic submarine.
In war years the big hush-hush
project was an exact scale model
of the Normandy beaches on
which the crosse Channel inva-
sion forces landed in June of
1914.
At least 18 months before the
great armada set sail from
England, the landings had been
simulated here with scale model
assault craft of manifold types
and sizes. The experimenters
learned what could be expected
Of the landing ships and boats
under all conditions of tide,
wind and wave.
Precision Fashioned.
The scale models range up to
80 feet in size for the larger
ships and submarines. Their
hulls are fashioned with pre-
cision to furnish exact engi-
neering data on how the finished
ship will behave in service.
Some models are driven by
their own propellerS, and guided
by their own rudders. Others are
fixed to a framework mounted
on wheels on either side of the
basin. The tracks on which the
wheels roll follow exactly the
curvature of the earth to hold
the model at the depth required.
The miniature explosions in
the reinforced, outdoor pool en-
able engineers to study the forces
Of bombs, torpedoes and mines,
and the damage they do to ships
Of various types.
Camera studies are made
through thick plate glass fitted
into one side of the pool.
Examine Bomb Effects.
1t was learned here, for ex-
ample, that forces released by
underwater explosions tend to
move toward ship. Scientists
were able to learn why a near
miss" by a bomb can do more
damage to ship than a direct
hit.
The present plant would cost
about $57 million to replace, al
though the portion built before
World War I was completed for
$19 million.
Engineering plans are being
completed for a proposed addi-

has been set at $4,000. For 50,

Arming 10 the Teeth
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Sir John
SleSsor, marshal Of the Royal
Air Force, said yesterday he be-
lieveS the only sane method Of
getting along with Russia "is to
arm to the teeth and strive
toward technical perfection in
offensive and defensive weapons"
1T is false to pretend that
against an enemy with RusSia's
current technical capacities 1t
would be possible to create q
perfect defense" Sir John told
a news conference. 1.-THE defense
is always behind you. For in
stance, the United States has
spent some $25 billion on de-
fenses but about the time they
are completed. along comes some
gadget which could defeat radar.
and the whole thing collapses." "
He said the West was sur
priSed at the excellence Of the
Russian MIG fighter.

thing except that the MIG is q
very f1ne machine, that its de-
sign is very good indeed and
that its production in quantity
cannot be denied" he said. "All
this can be taken as evidence
that Russian air strength Is
great. Just how great nobody
really knows. but we must not
underestimate them In any way"

This is the 32nd of series of
articles dealing with spots of local
color and interest, generally I'M
known and unappreciated ..
"The Old Stone Cutting MiIl'
On the west bank of Great
Seneca Creek almost at it's con-
fuence with the Potomac are the
remains of what was once an i'm.
portant industry in Montgomery
County, commercial stone cutting.
The large sandstone building which
housed this business is slowly
crumbling away, naturally, since
active operations came to a halt
over fifty years ago.
Operating as the Seneca Sand
stone Company (this business is
not to be confused with the one
of a similar nature operated by
the United States Government
adjacent to what is now the farm
of Charles Allnut, Seneca, Md
the company's speciality was the
turning out of massive red and
gray sandstone blocks, a hard
stone used extensively at that time
for building purposes. Another
quarry was located close to Vic
lette's Lock at Cedar Point, mile
downstream, while near Whites
Ferry beautiful stone was quar-
ried with many of the character
istics of marble, the spot still be-
ing known as Marble Quarry"
Beginning operations in the year
1850 and strategically located for
loading and distribution purposes
along the spanking new Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal, the Seneca
Sandstone Company supplied
building blocks for the Smithson-
ian Institution, the old Library Of
Congress and other government
buildings. Great quantities of it
were used, at the several different
stages Of construction, for "back-
ing up" purposes in the Washing
ton Monument; it was also used
extensively in the construction OF
a great many homes in George
town, D. c. Shipment of the blocks
was made via canal to Georgetown,
eastern terminus of the canal COM
pany.
When the water was turned into
the canal in 1850, making it the
second continuous canal in the
U. S. (the Erie being the frstl,
separate watergate was installed
just west of Seneca Creek CONT
guous to the canal, which diverted
& part of the canals waters to
the plant of the company, where
