Billboards Subject Of Iniunctions

Irving Reed, territorial high way engineer, last week took active steps to enforce the out door advertising act by removing two signs in the Spenard area. Owners of the signs have started injunction proceedings, and fur ther action will depend in part on the outcome of this case, he stated in a letter to the Riverben Homemakers' club of Palmer.
 However, he feels that Tt will not be so hard to get illegal ad- vertisements and billboards re- moved, since the Territorial Po- lice have promised their cooper ation, as it will be in finding out about such advertising and who the owners are.
 q should really be in posi- tion to hire a man to do this work on a full time job for several months so as to cover all of Al aska, but I just can't do it under the preesnt set-up (financiaD This summer I intend to go all over the roads myself as part of my duty as territorial highway engineer, and in doing this l will get record of all signs that are up illegally"
 Meanwhile, MT. Reed has hao designed by his office, very at tractive and comparatively in expensive sign in the Alasks motif, based on the signs usee by the Forest Service, with pro visions of the Outdoor Advertis ing Act.

Unlike the Revolutionary
u War soldier who could
wait to see the whites of the
enemy's eyes, the atomic-age
warrior must be able to hit
a faster r-than-sound target
while it is still a speck in his
sights.
True, he has many electronic
devices to insure his aim, but
he also needs guns that fire
with dead accuracy. To help
meet this need, the Navy last
year opened its elaborate new
Bellevue Firing Range.
Operated by the Naval Gun
Factory, the range is devoted
to research and development
work on new weapons and to
final inspection firing of guns
ready for delivery to the fleet.
Most of the program involves
aircraft armament, although
any small-caliber gun can be
handled.
Final inspection tests sub
ject barrels, firing mechan-
isms and spare parts to pun
ishment beyond that encoun-
tered in combat. Functional
tests search for the slightest
deviation in rate of fire,
muzzle velocity and accuracy.
Once a gun is approved for
shipment to the fleet, its per
formance is assured. AS Rob-
bert J. Martin, range supervi-
sor, explains: IF a gun has a
flaw that could cause a failure
or explosion, we want to un-
cover the trouble here, where
no one gets hurt. If its fire is
inaccurate, we want to catch
that, too, before some mans
life is at stake"

knottiest test problems. Re-
Gently, a new model under fire
developed bugs which even a
piece by piece examination
failed to locate. Range tech
nicians finally cut a window
in the chamber so engineers
could make high-speed movies
of the workings.
Projected on a screen, the
film reduced the guns operat-
ing speed to less than a srrail's
pace. Suddenly, an engineer
exclaimed, "There's the
trouble!" He pointed to a
small cam which failed to
mesh properly. The remedy
was simple-to give the cam a
slightly different shape.
The Bellevue Range is
housed in a squat, reinforced
concrete building with outer
walls four feet thick. Inside
are a 1OO-foot range and three
shorter ranges.
Functional data is gathered
in the long range, either by
oscillographs or a combination
photo electrical optical sys-
tenn. The former involves a
heavy coil at the gun muzzle
to magnetic the bullet, which
then passes through two oscil-
lograph coils carefully spaced
down the range. Velocity and
rate of fire are checked by in
strumentS which measure in
milliseconds.
The light-optical system is
somewhat similar, except that
the bullet, instead of being
magnetized, breaks two light
circuits to record its travel
characteristics.
Guns in the short range rest
on firing stands tipped at a
2O-degree angle and fire into
water traps directly under the

Cole Says He Felt
H-Bomb Was Not as
Practical as A-Bomb
BY [. Edgar Primo

Representative w. Sterling
Cole, Republican. of New York
said today one reason he opposed
an all-out program to build an
H-bomn in 1949 was that leading
scientists estimated it would
take uranium for 10000 atomic
bombs to do it.
The chairman of the Joint
Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy asserted that he
believed the national military
strength would be enhanced
more by adding 10000 atomic
bombs to the stockpile than by
building a superweapon.
He added that to divert the
necessary uranium from our
small and precious supply in
1949 would be too high a cost
to pay for the new weapon.
Addresses Students.
Mr.. Cole discussed the H-bomb
program in a speech before a
group of youngsters at the St.
Adams School for Boys yester-
day.
"Of course. the estimates of
the scientists were in error
they made an initial miscalcula-
ton and technlques have proved
more efficient than expected
but given the same information.
I would take the same stand
today" he declared today.
In addition to the cost in A
bombs. Mr.. Cole said he opposed
building the superbomb on moral
grounds, adding:
II am not ashamed Of the
position I took"
The chairman, for security
reasons, would not discuss how
the H-bombs explosive power
has been made cheaper" in re-
lation to the amount of atomic
bombs necessary to produce an
equivalent blast.
New Trigger Key Hinted.
However. there have been per-
siStent hints in recent weeks
from authoritative sources"
that an A-bomb no longer is
necessary to trigger hydrogen
weapon. Apparently other ways
of obtaining high-energy neu-
irons at high enough tempera-
tures-the triggering key-have
been found.
Mr.. Cole did not name the
scientists who gave the 150-200
atomic bomb estimate. And he
pointed out that the estimates
of other scientists were less than
the above figures.
DR.. j. Robert Oppenheimer.
who currently is under suspen-
sion as a consultant to the Acc
on grounds he is a possible se-
curity risk, opposed the H-bomb
program for several reasons
one of which was that he felt
it would be better to continue
stepping up the atomic weapon
production instead.
