Army Raises Curtoin
OnNewFIuidAmpIifier

The Army proudly lifted the
curtain today on pure fluid
amplifiers. greatly simplified
control devices which could
launch a new industry and i'm
prove many military weapons,
including missiles.
The invention was described
as equivalent in Importance to
the vacuum tube and the tran
sistor.
Development of the ampli-
f1ers was described by Richard
S. Morse, director of research
and development for the De-
partment of the Army, as "a
new fundamental break
through"
Mr.. Morse was one of sew
eral high Army officials present
for the unwilling of the device
at the Army's Diamond Ord
nance Fuze Laboratories, Con-
necticut avenue and Van Ness
street NV.
Inventors of the control de-
vices, which use gas or liquids
instead of electric currents to
operate machines, are three
civilian scientists employed at
the Diamond Ordnance Fuze
Laboratories; r. E. Bowles of
Washington, B. M. Horton of

many of the control operations
needed for millions of fluid
actuated systems in daily use,
including washing machines,
windshield wipers and air con-
ditioning and heating systems.
The devices are unimpressive
in appearance, consisting sim
ply of a block of metal or heavy
plastic material in which pas
sageways have been made.
However, when gas or liquid is
driven through then they can
perform the same functions as
complicated electronic circuits.
The basic idea involves pre-
else control of a high-power
stream of gas or fluid by low
power streams. which hit it

Advantages of the amplifiers

/. Since they have no moving
parts to wear out, they require
no maintenance and no re-
pairs.
2. In comparison with other
types of control devices, they
are expected to be extremely
cheap" rugged and reliable.
3. They can be operated at
white heat and also at ex-
tremely low temperatures and
are not affected by radiation.
However, the amplifiers are
not expected to replace the
electronics industry altogether,
since they cannot compete with
electronic system for very high
speed work.

Gen. Norstad said aircraft

He reported the number of
missile battalions under his

Heavy Snowstorm
Heading North
Toward District

A heavy snowstorm, heading
north through Virginia, threat
ened to drop several inches of
snow on the Washington area
tonight.
The storm, described as
massive" in its impact on
Southwestern Virginia today,
was expected to reach the
Washington area some time be-
tween 6 pm. and midnight, the
Weather Bureau said.
The forecaster said as much
as 5 inches of snow already has
been deposited in the Pied
mont and he did not expect a
change to sleet or rain before
midmorning tomorrow.
Virginia State police said
driving conditions already were
worse in the mountains than
they have been through any
of the earlier storms of the
winter.
The impact on the Washing
ton area depends on the course
of the storm and the tempera-
ture. The Washington Weather
Bureau is predicting a low of Is
degrees here tonight.
The storm, conferred today
over Louisiana, covered a wide
area of the South. The worst
was expected to pass west of
Washington. unless its direc-
ton changes.
If the anticipated snow falls
here, it would be the third time
in a week for the Washington
area. However snowfall last
Thursday and Monday failed
to stick.

wanted 1t to have the widest

Gen. Norstad said the new
unit would be a mobile task
force designed for use wher-
ever militarily or politically
necessary throughout tn e
NATO area.
He told a news conference
it had been firmly decided to
move ahead in this field and
to establish the force in the
course of next year.
Periodic Training Planned
The battalions will be pulled
out of their national forces
periodically for training, Gen
Norstad said, but otherwise
will be left in place.
He also said the Bonn gov
eminent has assured NATO it
will make no decision on estab-
fishing bases outside West Ger

POliceman's Testimony
Sergt. Mike Whitney of the
Las Vegas police force was to
resume the stand today to con.
tinue reading a long account
of what Motherwell told detec-
tives after his arrest IN that
city in January, 1859.
At that time, Motherwell was
questioned not only about she
disappearance of Mrs. Putney
but also in connection with
the death of his baby daughter,
whose remains had been found
in a Frederick MD pet
cemetery.
The reading of the interview
brought strong objections by
Defense Attorney John T. Reyes
Of Washington. Then, he moved
for a miStrial after Special
Prosecutor Lynn D. Compton
explained that the account of
the questioning - transcribed
from tape recordings - had
been carefully edited to omit
any testimony except that deal
ing with Mrs. Putney.
Mr.. Reyes point - with
which Judge Warren Steel
did not agree-was that the
jury was now aware of
Motherwells earlier troubles.
Differing Accounts
The droning account by
Sergt. Whitney continued. In
substance, it repeated Mother
wells constant story-he left
Mrs. Putney in Las Vegas in
mid-August, 1858, and planned
to meet her there again the
following December or January.
However, it differed in many
respects from stories he told
Washington police and others
involved in the search for the

The Senate went into the
third day of the endurance
contest on civil rights at noon
today with no signs of a break
in the Southern filibuster.
Moderates in both parties
were trying to work out a
package" of civil rights
amendments that would be
more acceptable to the South,
but if they succeed it is still
not clear whether a majority
of the Northerners will be con-
tent with such a package.
If some compromise is not
accepted by both sides. the
only other way of ending the
present stalemate will be to
invoke the rarely used anti
hlibuster cloture rule. 1t is
known that the leaders are re-
luctant to do that even if they
had the two-thirdS majority.

no parliamentary advantage to
the Southerners. Some of his
Southern colleagues indicated
they would not settle for such
a recess again.
Reaches Technical End
Actually, the recess provided
no break in the endurance con-
test but meant that technically
the session which began Mon
day had ended after 43 hours
and Is minutes.
The record is still 81 hours
and 10 minutes, set on a ship
purchase bill in February, 1915.
If the Senate goes until Satur-

cess it will break that record.
All indications are the lead
ers will not continue the ses-
sion through sunday.
Senator Russell, Democrat of
Georgia. leader of the Southern
opposition, said today he would
gladly agree to recess from
Saturday night until Monday

Uruguay Protests

Man Is Shot

OF Students

MONTEVIDEO. Uruguay,
Mar. 2 (AP).-PoIice used tear
gas and high pressure fire hoses
today to break up a student
demonstration against Presi-
dent Eisenhower shortly after
his arrival from Chile.
One man was shot in the
foot and several others were
injured.
The incident took place as
the Eisenhower motorcade ap-
preached the School of Ar
chitecture of the University of
Montevideo on the way from
the airport.
In another part of the city,
at the headquarters of the uni
versity itself, students barri-
caded themselves inside the
buildings. Army trucks armed
with light field artillery and
heavy machine guns moved
into the block in front of the
university.

The students hung huge BAN

that Vice President Nixon ran
into hostile demonstrations.
The incidents marred an
otherwise exuberant Welcome

were far worse than anything

Tax Rise Move
Due in County
Request Muy Top
Eurly Estimates
By JOHN BARRON
Star stah Writer

Arlington County's forthcom-
ing budget probably will rec
ommend an increase of more
than IS cents in both the real
estate and personal property
tax rates.
Such an increase would ex-
coed all previous estimates
made by Arlington fiscal au-
thoritieS.
The new budget, now being
readied for submission to the
County Board March IL, re-
portedly proposes ALLEGATION of
about $26.5 million for schools,
government operation, capital
improvements and payment of
debts.
This years budget contains
about $24.3 million for compa-
rable expenditures.
Neither of the sums cited
includes money allotted for
utilities or funds borrowed
through bond issues)
The present real estate tax
rate in Arlington is 1884 per
500 assessed valuation.
The personal property levy is
$4.39 per 500 assessed valua-
ton.
May Pay Up to S3O0
County financial experts had
hoped the real estate tax could
be kept below $3.50 for several
more years.
Arlington assesses property
at between SO and 81 per cent
of its true market value. Thus.
the owner of a $4,000 home
now pays between $255 and
$3.50 annually. Should the real
estate tax rise SIS cents, he
would pay between $295 and
$500.
The county board finally will
determine the size of the 1867
81 budget and the tax rate TO
support it. 1t could reduce the
need for added levies by slash
ing funds requested by the
county manager and school
board.
But Arlington official termed
the budget which the board will
receive as conservative.
1t would permit expansion of
police and fire services as we'll
as park and recreation pro-
grams. 1t also emissions salary
raises for county employees.
SIS Million More
However, several county pro-
grams have been restricted or
postponed because of demands
for school funds.
The $14.4 million sought by
the school board is SIS mil
lion more than it received this
year and will be responsible for
about AZ cents of the tax in
crease, according to one source
