New Mechanical Lung Is Portable and Not Heavy BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF. A portable, plastic mechanical lung weighing less than 60 pounds may replace the 600 to 2,400 pound iron lungs now in use. Its designer, A. L. Bergere, said the machine was already in full production here. It can be worn in or out of bed and manufactured at two-thirds the cost of the cheapest iron lungs. The part of the lung that fits over the patient’s chest is made of plexi glass and weighs about five pounds, ' Bergere said. The rest of the weight is in a motor, pump and flexible tube. Patients can sit, stand or lie down , with complete freedom of arms and legs, he said. Soldiers, Others Held For Jeep Thefts, Sales MANILA, P. I.—United States military police announced the ar rest of six AWOL American enlisted men, eleven Philippine army officers and four employees of a printing shop on charges of complicity in a well-organized jeep theft ring. Fif teen jeeps have been recovered. Capt. M. H. Traylor, chief inves , tigator, said the ring even gave printed “ownership” papers to buy ers of the stolen vehicles. Several American G.l.s in the group, he said, were posing as of ficers and were “living high” on the proceeds of the jeeps, which had been sold to Philippine army of i fleers. Hiroshima Bombing Killed 78,150 Japs TOKYO. —The atomic bombing of Hiroshima last August 6 caused 306,545 casualties, includ ing 78,150 killed, the Jap central ; liaison office reported to Allied headquarters. The report said 13,983 were missing, 9,428 seriously injured, 27,997 slightly injured, and 176,- 987 “general sufferers.” Cinderella’s Slipper Omderella did not lose a glass slipper. A mistake was made in translating the story from Per rault’s French version, in which Cin derella dropped a fur slipper on the palace stairs. TO FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT APRIL 12-15, 1945 His name, his life, immortal in their splendor, A Great American now sleeps in death. The world in shocked surprise recoils in sorrow As quivering ether waves sound out the news. Men scarce can take it —their great leader faljen? Hut yesterday—today he wrought with them; And now the tools of earthly soil forsaken, He joins the gallant company beyond. The great of many names and fames salute him; The humble, ay the sick call this man friend; They looked to him, believed in him; they trusted His understanding heart, his goodwill to all. His everydays called confidence and courage; He led by ways that upward moved on; He loved his task —nor counted it a hardship To lose his life a whole wide world to serve. So gather roses, weave your sweetest music, A grateful land says farewell with its love. ’ —B. H. N. | Atomic Era to Bring New Navy Science Is Drafting Plans For Vastly Different Fighting Force. WASHINGTON. A navy radical ly different, even in appearance, from that of today may be produced in 10 years of revamping along atomic era lines, so says Adm. Har old G. Bowen, head of the navy’s re cently established office of research and inventions, as reported by the Associated Press. Discussing the work of his group representing the naval service, in dustrial laboratories and the na tion’s universities, the admiral told a reporter: “We have officers and civilians proceeding with the drafting of plans that may mean, 10 years from now, a navy bearing very little resem blance to that of today.” The research office has set out to inquire into everything that re lates through science and industry to the navy’s striking arms on the sea, above it and under it. Through its own experts, civilian scientists and navy-sponsored research in col leges and universities, the research program is probing into such sub jects as electronics, nuclear phys ics, chemistry, mathematics, guided missiles and flight. Had Role in Atomic Work. A technical information office to encourage the free exchange of re search information among scientists has been set up here with branches at London, Boston, New York and San Francisco. Deputy director of the office of research and inventions is Rear Adm. Luis de Florez, like Bowen active in research since World War 1 days. Bowen played a prominent part in the atomic bomb project and in radar development. The research office will have a vital interest in the forthcoming navy-army test of the atomic bomb on warships. Results of that test, the navy has announced, “will be their translation into the terms of ! United States sea power.” Bowen noted that virtually all the new weapons and equipment which appeared in the late war had re search history dating before the war. But, he added, “the stock j pile of research” has been depleted. Seeks Atomic Defense. In the field of pure research, rang- j ing up to applied science, here are some of the subjects: 1. The use of atomic energy Bow ! en says must be explored: for ship propulsion. “Perhaps we’ll have an atomic firebox instead of a boiler. I That would save valuable space for [ other equipment, give unheard of cruising radius and more speed— and if surface ships are going to last we’ll have to hike up the speed like hell.” 2. Explore the prospects of a coun termeasure for the atomic bomb. 3. Join in the worldwide effort to j find a cheaper and better way to produce the raw material for atom ic power. 4. Probe into the abstract science phases of guided V-weapons, super sonic speeds for aircraft. “The navy recognizes that a navy can’t be run without intimate con tact with science,” the admiral I said. “It is for that purpose this office has been organized.” In its contacts with the colleges, universities and with industrial or ganizations, the navy says it is “of fering the scientist complete free dom” to initiate, teach and publish fundamental research. To date, it has made contacts with or is negotiating with more than two score schools or industrial re search organizations. 2 Million Hurt at Work In 1945, Official Report WASHINGTON. Work injuries disabled about 2,000,000 persons in 1945, the bureau of labor statistics reported. Approximately 16,000 workers were killed and 84,500 permanently impaired, including 1,800 so serious- ! ly injured as to be unfit for any | future employment in industry. The total of injured was about 10 per cent less than in 1944, first year to show a drop in industrial acci- j dents since 1938. The affected work ers lost about 41.250.000 days of em- i ployment. I Uncle Sains Bills Keep Warren Busy Controller General Handles Thousands of Claims. WASHINGTON. If you think you have bill trouble around the first of the month, consider Lindsay C. War ren, United States controller gen eral. Last year 447,649 claims poured in from people who figured Uncle Sam owed them money. But that’s just part of his wor ries. As head of the general account ing office, he keeps tabs on every thing spent by the government. In 1931 canceled government i checks audited by his office were around 4 billion dollars. Ten jiears later they had mushroomed to 13 billion dollars. Last year the United States spent about 94 billion dol lars. Warren told a reporter the general accounting officer’s chief chore is to see that the money is spent the way congress wants it spent. “We’re the last great bulwark for the people of this nation,” said War ren, drawing a deep breath, against unbridled and illegal expenditures of the public substance.” In short, he and his men are po licemen on a national beat. Every check written by any gov ernment department is sent to the general accounting office after it is cashed. And just to give you an idea of what this means: 416,160,500 cashed checks hurried back to the office for auditing and storage last year. These checks, plus such things as copies of contracts and bills, mean that 90 tons of paper work (or about six box car loads) is dumped on the accounting office every month. Now about the bills presented to Uncle Sam. Most of them are routine. But on the other hand— A dun wandered in the other day asking, what about paying for that stuff grandpa sold to General Sher man on his march through Georgia, i The agency is checking to see if any record was made of this Civil war sale. If it finds the claim genuine, it will be paid. Then there was the bill from a man who claimed he had averted a collision between the earth and a comet. He figured that, considering the magnitude of his performance, he was letting us taxpayers off cheap. lie would settle for $50,W)0. He didn’t get the money. Home Building We built over 900,000 new houses, I not including farm houses, at an average cost of about $4,800 each, ! in the top housebuilding year of 1925.
