Disputes hinder project

Here's the way DR.. Steinhof recalls the disputes
within the Navy today: ''The submarine rocket pro-
gram was brought to the attention of Admiral Karl
Doenitz. He was very enthusiastic about it and
wanted to push it along.
''But after the Navy had taken over the project
we heard nothing for some time. Then they came
to get our launching equipment. Finally, DR.. Paul
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-07-22


for the first test-6ring from a submarine.
Commander Steinhof took the sub down to
about Is feet On shore, cameras waited to take
movies of therockets- they came out of the water.
Telephone contact was established between the
sub and the men on shore. Won Braun to this day
will never forget the moment: 'The general reaction
Of all of us aboard the experimental sub in first
attempt to launch missile from submarine was
one of confidence. We felt no apprehension; we did
not fear explosion or launch damage to the ship"
A regular countdown proceeded, and at the all
clear signal Commander Steinhof pushed the
button.
No Hsunp but q ~tcOOsh"
Won Braun says today: when the missiles
were ignited we did not feel definite thump or
impact We did hear subdued 'woosh' as they left
their launching positions"
After about two seconds of waiting, the men on
shore the first rocket pop out of the water in
splash and streak skyward in a perfect 45-degree
path. Then the second rocket followed, then the
third. The test was a complete success.
The brothers Steinhoff prepared detailed tech
nical report on the underwater rockets. As the
rocket preached the sea- it easily had 90 per cent of
its propellant left, fact which prompted Com
mander Steinhoff to boast: with this device can
blast any harbor = or any shore target from
positions miles out to sea"
Despite the fact that Commander Steinhof had
even gone so far as to draw up list of potential
American targets, it turned out that he was going
to do very little blasting For then Commander
Steinho ran into the problem of redtape, technical
squabbles, rivalry and jealousy.

Schroeder of the Marine WaHenamt equivalent to
our Naval Bureau Of Weapons) came to me one day
and said that they had failure in trying to launch
the rockets from moving submarine / explained
that thought the submarine should be at rest
ri think that the idea was never realized because
different factions developed in the Navy. Some
thought that the rockets would have to be loaded
inside rather than carried on the deck. They in
sisted that entirely new sub would have to be
built for underwater firing despite the fact that
the prototype used by us had proved good enough
and could have been used as launching platform
to hit enemy coastal cities"
Finally, the Submarine Command issued the
official rundown on the program, believing that the
deck-mounted launch rack would impair the subs
speed and ability to crash dive and that it wouldn't
Withstand heavy seas.
Won Braun told me recently: Considering the
fact that the experiment had been conducted on a
makeshift basis, there may have been grain of
truth in this contention, but nothing would have
been simpler than to replace the yrgged launcher
by a more seaworthy design. The real reason for
the lack of enthusiastic response was obviously that
the Navy did not want to have anything to do with
Army-developed underwater missiles"
Hitler can't be reached
The Steinhoffs fought hard to bring their plans
before Hitler, but after while DIR. Steinhoff was
told to forget about the foolish underwater rocket
and worry about the V-2's, and Commander Stein
hoff was told unceremoniously to get back to sea
and sink Allied shipping.

Days of adversely are not
always evil days. 1t is a re-
markable fact that the Jews
were always more pious and
devoted to God in their af-
fiictions and captivities than
when in their own land liv-
ing in ease and aff1uence.
From the period of Jewish
captivity comes Ps. 81. 1t
is a gem of devout trust.
From the end of the earth

my heart is overwhelmed:

The circumstances too great

and we are overwhelmed.
Then we are to remember
God. The writer of this peau-
tiful Ps. had his faith an
chored, not in unstable things
of the moment, but in the
God of all the eternities.
The Soul recognized that
there was and is a power
outside himself superior to
all his best strivings, and in
that God he would put his
trust.
These are the words of a
triumphant Soul refined in
the furnace of affliction,
beaten, robbed, enslaved, but
still trusting implicitly in a
God who would hear his cry
from the end of the Earth.

Insects Cost
Public Over
81 Billion

Insects now cost the A.
merican public at least $4 bill
lion a year. Most of these are
not natives to the United States.
DR.. Dale F. Bray, University
of Delaware entomologist, says
they 'hitchhiked" to this coun-
try from abroad, the majority
before plant guarantees were
established In 1912.
European corn borer, now
found In 80 States, came to this
country about 1910 in stalks of
broom corn imported into Mas
sachusetts from Hungary. 1t
then spread to the corn belt
where 1t now damages at least
$l00 million worth of corn each
year. In 1919, its most de-
structive year, losses reached
$3.50 million.
Gypsy moth, which defoliates
and kills trees, came to the us.
In 1869 when an amateur nat
uralist brought the eggs from
France hoping he could cross
gypsy moths with silkworms to
produce a harder stock. The
pest escaped from the anna
teur's laboratory and spread
rapidly through northeastern
states. Since 1890, State and
federal entomologists have
waged one of the longest, con-
tinuous, organized wars against
this pest, but 1t remains a threat
to the hardwood forests, orch
ards, and shade trees of this
country.
According to Bray, the Hes
sian fly travelled to the U. S.
during the RevolutionaryWar in
straw bedding brought here by
German soldiers hired to fight
the colonists. The German SOL
diers went home in 1888. But
the Hessian fly remained and
spread westward. 1t since has
ruined millions upon millions
of bushels of wheat.
Other pests sneaked into this
country by various means. Some
we're not even known as pests
at home. The Japanese beetle,
for example, was not considered
a serious pest in its native
Japan. But when 1t was brought
to the u. S. sometime before
1916, 1t found a haven free
from parasites that kept down
its numbers in the Orient. Its
population skyrocketed. Adult
Japanese beetles here eat the
foliage of an amazing number
of Towering plants, ornamen-
tails, and vegetables. Grubs of
the beetle damage the roots of
grasses In pastures, lawns, and
golf courses. This one insect
pest costs city dwellers, nur-
serymen, and farmers millions
of dollars every year.

47% Change Career

from pre-law to history, polit-

fields. A few drop out of under

University of Delaware per-
sonnel interpret the statistics
on pre-professional students in
the class of 1862 as indicative
of three major points:

must be regarded with consid-

since caused losses totaling bill
lions of dollars. There are
other cotton pests of the world
fully as destructive as the boil
weevil, which do not occur yet
in this country.
Bray says these are only a
few of the examples of foreign
pests brought into this country
in the past. Others, just as
damaging. are being stopped at
our ports of entry by entomol-
ogical inspectors who man our
first line of defense against
the insect pests of the world.

Asking a high school student
what he wants to be does little
TO provide reliable information
University ofDelaware officials
find.
A recent study of career
choices by college and univer-
sity students indicates that 47%
of the entering freshmen change
their career goals during their
undergraduate years. Even
higher percentages of change
are found among students en-
rolled In pre-profes sional pro-
grams such as pre-medicine
and pre-law.
A typical result was found
in the 1862 graduating class.
Four years ago, 20 entering
students identified themselves
as pre- medical students. Sew
en- members of the class an
nounced similar intention DUR
ing their freshman or sopho-
more years. Of the 27, only
eight graduating seniors are
actually entering medical
schools this fall. All of these
students who were truly quail
fled for admission were ac-
cepted by Philadelphia medical
schools.
The same pattern is apparent
in other pre-professional cur
ricula. Twenty graduating SEN
iors are entering law schools
out of an entering group of o3
who had picked law as their
professional objective. Only TWO
of eight who originally selected
dentistry are planning to enroll
In dental schools.
Faculty academic advisers
offer several reasons for the
discrepancy between numbers
of students choosing pre-pro-
fessional programs and those
actually entering graduate pro-
fessional schools. Many pre-
medicine students change their
career goals, and shift to biol
ogy, physics, chemistry, math-
ematics or other majors in
science with a view of taking
