Germons Plan Engines
Bosed on Old vi Bomb

BONN, July 10 CNANA,-oer-
man aeronautical engineers ex-
|pect to develop q new type OF
Jet engine Incorporating prin-
|ciples Of the vi and va fly
ing bomb" rockets.
Development Of the new en-
gine Is being sponsored By the
German Experimental Station
for Aviation" OWL.
Prof. Horst Sweewald. chair
man of the board Of the DvL
explained the new project:
Engines working on the prin-
Iciple of pure ram-jets, or Of
the Schmidt pipes flying stove
Ipipes). which have been known
in Germany since they were
built into the "V-1." viii in the
near future be Of great impor-
tance.
Such propulsive units con-
tain only q few or no movable
parts. Owing to their simple
construction, it viii not only be
possible to avoid many interfer-
|ence factors but, in comparison
to the propulsive units In use
today, these simplified mecha-
nisms will also be far cheaper. /"
DR.. Seewald predicts Germany
soon will have big lead on other
nations in the production of
revolutionary new jet engines
based on the vi principle.
Since in other countries the
development of these new kinds
of propulsive units has not been
started on a broad basis, the
chances for German industry in
this particular field seem very
promising"
Germany's entry into the avi-
alton field is causing lifted eye
brows among Allied experts in

and hospital personnel.
We ate soybeans. lettuce, fried
bananas and drank fruit juice.
Speaks French or German
Most Of thosf at the table
spoke some English although the
doctor spoke entirely French or
German. Mrs. Schweitzer. who
has been on lecture tours in the
United States, spoke excellent
English.
After the meal I was taken to
"a room reserved for staff or
guests, with screened walls on
two sides overlooking che river
and many hospital buildings in
the foreground. The oil lamp
and water in a pitcher lemin6ed
me at once that this was simple
living.
Following lunch each day
there was an hours siesta time
followed by a work period. The
natives able to work came into
the clearing for their work as
signments. The ALLEGATION of
work was handled by Nurse
Haussknecht and the French
Pastor Vigne. She took her group
to the gardens, which had to
be planted now during the dry
season. AS the Ogowe River gets
lower, it makes extra areas avail
able for planting.
"The doctor and ] built those
cement walls ourselves" Miss
Haussknecht said, as she proudly
pointed to the terraced areas
that led to the waters edge. IF
we do not get our gardens in
time, the hospital will not have
enough to eat, and that would
be tragic. You see. we eat what
we grow for the staff and for
the patients"
Later in the day I saw the
orange and grapefruit groves
which the doctor planted Is
years ago, shortly after the hos
fpital had been moved to the new
Isite. The little goats, which he

imported from Europe some
years ago. provide milk. butter
and cheese for the tables.
Age In Misleading
In the afternoon as I was on
the porch talking with Mrs.
|Schweitzer. I had q chance to
study the doctor at close range.
His age Of 30 years Is mis-
leading. He does not appear
more than so at most. He has
10 spring In his step and his
movements are nimble. His un-
|ruly hair, which appears snow
white in some photographs, Is
really gray and toward the back
lis brown-streaked with silver.
The walruslike mustache Is
brown and large. His eyes have
Ia kindliness to them that makes
one feel he Is friendly to all
about him.
I took special notice Of his
hands. He has written II books;
he has played the great organs
Iof Europe. He has operated on
thousands of African natives.
He has built buildings and set
limbs and brought the newborn
into the world of light. They are
hands of an artisan and an art
ist combined.
His posture is erect. His build
which was somewhat heavy dur
ing most of his years Is now
somewhat less, although he has
an enormous appetite even now.
When one sees the variety of his
activities in given day, he real
ICES the amount Of energy he has
to use.
After supper-potage, maca-
roni, tea, salad and grapefruit
the doctor went to the piano and
played a hymn, which all sang
together in French. He then re-
turned to the table. opened the
Bible and read the Sermon on the
Mount. This was followed by
prayer, another hymn and the
evening devotions were over.
Talks With Doctor
The next day. DR.. Schweitzer
sat behind the desk in his study.
He closed his eyes and spoke
forcefully in German. His wife
interpreted the words.
All my life ! had been fasci-
mated and awed by this great
man. Now 1t was my good for
tune to talk with him in person.
I toook from my wallet the
check for $1,700 given by the
citizens Of greater Lynn, Mass,
for building a unit in the hos
pitfalls new leper village.
DR.. Schweitzer was anxious to

gifts that were anonymous.
One day I told the story Of Al

we run at the First Methodist
Church. Those 30 youngsters

Mission to Deliver $1,700
Now my mission was to see DR..
Schweitzer and deliver, in per-
son. a check from Lynn for more
than $1,700 with which a new
dispensary unit would be built.
After crossing the Atlantic 1t
was a three-hour Fight from
Brazzaville to Lambarene, where
DR.. Schweitzer runs his jungle
hospital.
We landed at a landing strip
at the village Of Muila. The
Ogowe River runs by, the town
of Lambarens. The mission is
some two miles upstream.
I learned that my cable telling
when I would arrive had not
been delivered. So got q ride
in the mail truck to the town.
where a boat awaited its pas
sengers.
As the boat turned the bend
in the river I saw for the first
time the Albert Schweitzer Hos
pital whose buildings cover many
acres.
At the wharf I stepped ashore
to see wooden buildings with red
corrugated tin roofs. A young
native took my bags and led me
to the dining room where the
staff was having lunch.
"One moment, please. and the
doctor will be here to greet you" !"
said Nurse Emma Haussknecht.
who has been with the hospital
for nearly 80 years. The great
moment of meeting the famous
Albert Schweitzer was at hand.
Through the door came the
man whose life has been an, m
spiration to millions.
He smiled broadly and shook
my hand vigorously. He then
took my suitcase against my
strong objection and walked
across the clearing to his own
room.
Nov, we shall eat. Are you
hungry?" he asked,
AS we walked across the way
to the dining room, he grasped
my wrist in a friendly gesture.
The doctor was most solici-
tous toward me. There were 20
members of the staff at the
table. All were introduced, in
cluding a 21-year-old student
from Oklahoma, DR.. Emeric
Percy from Hungary, a French
pastor. Mrs. Schweitzer, who sat
at her husbands side, and q

had come In. So ! told him some
LOT the stories-for instance how
10 church kindergarten class had
given SIT. This moved him
deeply.
Next morning we followed q
jungle path to the leper village.
Its construction would not
have been possible without the
Nobel peace prize Of $33.00o
which DR.. Schweitzer received
In November. 1854, we saw new
buildings with red corrugated tin
roofs, cement found a tions,
wooden floors. metal doors, and
tightly knit palm leaf walls over
wooden uprights.

One carefully bandaged foot
was misshapen and twisted.
A beautiful woman in her 20's
was visiting her husband. a pa

The nurse at the dispensary
seemed to have a smile for each
patient as one after another
came for the daily pills and
medication.
"You seem to enjoy your
work." I observed.
The young woman said she
came from Berne. Switzerland.
She remarked with another
smile, This is a beautiful work. "
Decision Not Difficult

pointed q college principal at
Strasburg at the age Of %. Two
years later he announced his de-
cision to study medicine.
A visitor cannot help but leave
this jungle outpost a richer man
for having been exposed to this
spiritual giant.
I feel the most inspiring and
unforgettable experience of my
visit was not one, but a repeti-
ton of incidents-each evening,
the man of mercy and love con-
ducting devotions for his staff
family. Twenty of us sat at the
long table. The dishes had been
cleared away. There was si-
lence. Albert Schweitzer an
nounced the hymn by reading
the first line and giving the page

The musician Albert Schweitzer
went to the piano and played.
All sang with devotion. The
theologian Albert Schweitzer

young man turned to me and
questioned. Say. everyone on

you're famous. There's a crowd
Of at least so people to see you
OF, and newspaper photogra-
pliers are taking all those pic
lures"
mo, I'm far from famous, but
I'm on my way to visit a very
famous man in Africa" was
my reply.
I was going to see Albert
Schweitzer.
At the age Of 80, he gave up
brilliant careers in music. phi
losophy, and theology that he
might begin study as a physician
to the natives of French Equa-
torial Africa. He is now 80.
last year a group of news
papermen voted DR.. Schweitzer
"the greatest living man in the
world" The British speak of him
as "the man Of the century" I"
The Dutch: "The great mems
great man." And the natives Of
French Equatorial Africa call
him "the famous unknown.
Symbol of Love
What do people at the grass
roots in America think about
this man?
I think I know the answer.
My mission was to take q tan
gible symbol Of love and con-
cern from Lynn, Mass. to Lam
barene.
It is at Lambarene, on the
Congo River, that Nobel prize
winner Schweitzer operates a
hospital. Last year he spent
$4,000 to purchase new CORFU
gated tin roofs for his 80 hos
pital buildings. to enlarge his
mental hospital and expand IA
cilities at his leprosarium
This is the same man who
owns one suit-made 40 years
ago. People try to give him
clothing, but he only gives, it
away. With a shrug of his
shoulders he comments, "but I
can only wear one suit and
have one already"
During Lent wrote three
articles on DR.. Schweitzer for
the Lynn newspaper, the Daily
Evening Item. At the conclu-
sion of the series I suggested
we send some money to Ilelp DR.,
