Subs May Operate
Under Arctic Ice
'
Nary fl Di king on Scheme to
Aid IT eathcr Forecasting.
WASHINGTON. The navy is
studying plans for developing sub
marines capable of penetrating
floes to obtain weather data and oth
er information on unexplored Arctic
areas, it was learned here.
The proposal calls for construc
tion of large underwater “house
boats” outfitted with retractable
i conning towers. The smooth lop
! sides of the submarines would al
low them to cruise beneath the
Arctic ice.
The retractable conning towers,
as proposed, would have special !
heating devices enabling them to
melt holes through the ice when they
are extended. Crews could then
make weather observations and se
cure other data about ice formations,
sea currents and unexplored Arc
tic regions.
Army, navy, commerce, civil
' aeronautics board and weather bu- j
reau officials have been consider
, ing in secret the proposals for de
velopment of the new submarines.
From other sources, however, it
was learned that the air co-ordi
nating committee—composed o? of
ficials of the five government agen
cies—is investigating the possibility
of using for Arctic exploration two
subs that already are under con
struction at the Philadelphia navy
yard.
Some naval officers, however.
I have expressed the belief that the
| radically designed submarines
I should be built from the keel up.
J As tentatively planned, the sub
| marines would be located in an area
approximately 500 to 600 miles north
of Point Barrow, the northernmost
tip of Alaska.
Use of the submarines in the Arctic
would supplement weather observa
tions and other information on un
explored areas to be obtained by s
squadron of 12 army B-295.
Chief U. S. interest in Arctic
obtained weather information stems
from the knowledge that weather on
the North American continent ong- I
inates in areas northwest of Alaska.
Also, army air force officers have
pointed out that long-range bomb
jrs and future aviation develop
ments are transposing the Arctic
waste areas into a new world cross
roads—and possibly a new front line
of U. S. defense.
Radar Base Blown Up in
Palestine by Saboteurs
JERUSALEM, PALESTINE.
I Saboteurs recently blew up an RAF
I *adar station on Mount Carmel at
rlaifa, which has been used to de
;ect ships landing Jews illegally in
Palestine.
Jewish extremists were believed
•esponsible for the explosion. Two
TAP noncommissioned officers were
njured seriously and six other RAF
men hurt slightly. The radar station
was smashed.
A small group of saboteurs ap
proached the station through an ad
acent compound without being ob
served. They planted the explosive
charge and fled while guards opened
ire.
1 Apparently none of the saboteurs
was hit.
Coast Guard Radio Scores
Assist in Maternity Case
NORFOLK, VA.—The coast guard
was asked to radio instructions on
now to deliver a baby and the result
was successful—mother and child
are, doing nicely.
The radio call for aid was re
ceived by coast guard headquarters i
here from the SS Richard K. Call,
about 400 miles southeast of Cape
Henry, which said that a pas
senger was about to give birth to a
baby.
Instructions were obtained by the
coast guard from the U. S. marine
hospital and radioed to the vessel.
Later the ship messaged that the
infant and mother, whose name was
not given, were safe.
Navy Secret Guarded
By Ingenious Device
ALBANY. An ingenious alarm
which kept intruders away from the
General Electric company’s secret
“dungeon laboratory,” where navy
anti-submarine equipment was de
veloped during the war, has been
revealed.
Safety regulations prohibited
locks being used on a wire gate
which closed off the basement lab
oratory from other sections, so a
special alarm was devised to give
warnings that the gate was being
opened.
If anyone other than the engineers
who had passkeys to still the alarm
opened the gate, a large horn sound
ed a deafening blast within a few
feet from the ear of the intruder.
Attacks on Allies
In Mail to Germany
FRANKFURT, GERMANY.
U. S. army headquarters dis
closed recently that Americans in
the United States had written let
ters to Germans criticizing the
Allies, praising the Germans, at
tacking the U. S. government and
lamenting the bombing of Ger
man cities. The army said the
letters were intercepted.
Accidents
In Georgia Rise
The National Safety Council
j reports the Nation’s traffic toll
I for the first five months of this
j year was 13,240 - an increase of
, 13 per cent over the same peroid
j last year, and only 5 per cent be
llow the live-month 1941 total of
!13.614.
j This same report shows’Geor
j giain sixth place with an increase
of 21 per cent over the same per
iod last year. Louisana has a de
crease of 1 per cent: Maryland,
an increase of 6 per cent: Con-
I necticut, an increase of 7 per cent:
l Rhode Island, an increase of 10
i per cent: and Arizona an increase
| of 15 per cent.
i According to records of the
i Georgia Deparment of Public Saf
ety, drivers in the middle age
| group are susceptible to traffic
| accidents. Current reports indi
cate that 42 percent of Georgia’s
i traffic accidents involve drivers
I between 80 and 50 of age. This is
a departure from last year’s trend
toward a lowering of the age
group associated with highway
accidents. It is apparent these
older drivers developed bad driv
ing habits during the last few
years and have failed to overcome
these habits and adjust them
selves to fundamentals principles
of good driving.
Major Spence, Director, Geor
j gia Department of Public Safety,
j says it’s easy for a driver to
■ blame some defect in his car or
j the road for an accident, but in
, the greater number of cases the
j defect can be found in the driver.
The fault may be exceeding a
reasonable speed, driving on the
wrong side of the road, cutting
in, passing on a curve or hill, or
driving recklessey. Intelligent
planning in advance will help
make your vacation restful, and
safe from needless accidents.

Use Vapor to Kill
Plant Pests Indoors
The use of azobenzinc to control
red spider mite on roses and many
other plants and flowers in green
house and other buildings has been
discovered by Cornell university
specialists. The substance should be
brushed on stcampipes like ordinary
paint. As the pipes heat, the azo
benzine melts and diffuses as a va
por which goes to work on the hugs
quickly and effectively. Constantly
syringing of plants is not needed.
