This win over the Old Master

table and its base, made of
heavy duraluminum, were
machined and cut to size by
the Bath Iron Works in
Maine as their contribution
to the exhibit.
Hidden in the intricate

ism is a gadget that causes

course anywhere from one
to eight degrees, Stimulating

While in real ship the
master gyro-compasS would
be situated amidships below
deck, where it would be seen
only by the engineers, here
its secrets are open to the
public in a separate walled
off section adjacent to the
Ships Bridge. 1t and other

dar, Loran and Sonar, are
demonstrated and explained
to visitors by Commodore"

1t is open from ten AM. to

Another unusual facet of
the exhibit to Museum visi-
tors is that it is the only
place ashore where they can
find true North as contras-
ted with magnetic North,
which any ordinary compass
can tell them. The gyro COM

or in a steel ship as is the
magnetic compass, points to
the true North, which is the

SEES.
The gyro equipment on the
Bridge represents a $4,000
gift from Sperry Gyroscope
Company. The company's
founder, DR.. Elmer A. Sper-
ry, was the first to see the
practical possibilities in the
gyro wheel invented by the
French scientist Leon Fou-
cault, in 1891 to demonstrate
the scientific principle that
the earth is a rotating body
actually the original
gyroscope.
Inc Woru gyroScope was
given to the world by Fou-
cault. Its derivation is from
two Greek words, "gyros,
"skopein,' meaning to view. .
One Of the basic properties
OF the gyroscope is it's never
changing axis, which points
constantly in one direction
while it spins on delicate
ball bearings.

of much discussion and
The whole world watched

holds for American labor
still looms as a big question
mark in many minds.
j. William Belanger, pre-
Sident of the Mass. State CLIO
Council, gave a few answers
in a recent address. He warn
ed that recent attacks on
labor by labor's stand-pat
critics will undoubtedly null
tiply and grow in inteSity
when these die-hards regain
their equilibrium from the
scock Of having seen nothing
happen to prevent the mer-
ger from taking place as
scheduled.
But as these attacks on
labor grow more vicious and
more concentrated" he said,
Il believe that they will meet
with more resistance on the
part of the general public :
for there are strong indica-
tionS that the vast majority
of the American people are
watching this merger not
with mistruSt and apprehen-
sion but With labor's chief
detectives, that of achieving
higher living standards for
our working families and a
higher degree of social and
economic security for all
Americans, will be more cas-
lily realized.
To the expressed fear by
some critics that the Ameri-
can labor movement will
launch a third political par
ty or take over one of the
two existing parties, the an
SWer was that if labor were
really intent on taking over
one of the existing parties,
the matter of choice has long
been determined "for it
is a matter of record that
big business interests have al
ready taken over one of them
lock, stock and barrel"
No third party will De
needed as long as enough
men can be elected from the
two major political parties
to protect the rights of in
dividual American ctizens.
The merger" said Belanger,
has given our friends in
Congress more incentive to
fight for the things we ad-
vocate and timid souls
who stayed on the fence will
now find it easier to jump
down and take a firmer
stand on important issues.
One thing is certain, he
added, 1--WE intend to form
a solid block of working men
and women gig enough and
strong enough to keep the
reactionaries from stepping
out of line"

ganize the unorganized, ne

oyertones of panic in some
of the comments on the pos

succeed in doing that job.
