New White Suit Fire
Resistant for 2 Minutes
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
New York, Aug. 30 (If) You can walk into raging fire, with
flames licking your entire body, and live there comfortably for
more than two minutes In a new snow-white suit out of the Aero
Medical laboratory.
This suit, the first and only one yet made, was shown to the
Aero Medical association today
by the laboratory's doctors from
Wright Field, Ohio.
The purpose is rescue work in
the blazing gasoline of wrecked
airplanes.
The suit withstands 2,000 de
grees fahrenhclt for up to three
minutes. Then you come out to
cool down, but only the suit
needs cooling.
The snowy suit has 18 layers,
which pile up to a thickness of
about half an inch.
The first two outer layers are
fiber-glass, which is white
driven snow, and the whiteness
reflects away some of the heat
The third layer down is silver
foil. The burnished silver also
deflects the heat, and the metal
won't melt even at 2,000 de
grees.
Then follow layers of glass
cloth, in zones of three to four
each, intespersed with aluminum
foil.
Layer number 17 Is coal black
fiber glass coated with neo-
prene. Black absorbs neat.
This later close to the skin
absorbs the heat from your body.
The Aero Medical men say a
man can remain comfortable in
this suit for over two hours dur
ing a heat wave In the OP s.
This seems to be a tip for manu
facturer of hot-weather clothes.
The final inner layer is ny
lon, not just because of heat re
sistance, but to make it easy to
slide into the suit with fire-regulation
speed.
dise the charge is to be $5 a
month, the same rate to apply
for loading out-going merchan
dise. Asking for sewage arrange
ments in the Eureka avenue
home sites where several homes
are now under construction,
were John Middlcmiss, Olaf
Paulson, C. B. Anderson and
Harlan Moe. The city manager,
Robert Borland, assisted by Al
dermen Reber Allen and George
Christcnson, are to make a sur
vey to ascertain area possibili
ties for proper drainage in case
other lots are sold for home
sites.
The new proprietors of Walt's
Tavern, Robert and Hazel Lag
ourgue, who asked approval for
application for recommendation
to sell malt beverages Class A
and package licenses, met with
the approval of the council.
Hopkins and Nyhus Silver
ton garbage company were
granted a franchise for a new
site, on payment of $200 an
nually, the location to be south
of Evans Valley.

Crack Down on
Runaway Dads
Washington, Aug. 30 UP) A
federal crackdown on ' runaway
fathers'1 was proposed today by
Rep. Steed (D Okla.).
Steed said many fathers are
abandoning their children for
the purpose of getting them on
federal-state relief. In many
cases, he added, the social secur
ity program actually is financ
ing the break-up of homes.
Moreover, he told reporters,
his own investigation has reveal
ed "an ever-increasing number
of cases of actual conspiracy be
tween the father and mother to
get their children on the relief
rolls."
But in the usual case, Steed
said, the father tells his family
he ' is going away to hunt for
work," and later "more often
than not he is discovered in
some far-off state living with
another woman."
Therefore, the Oklahoman
said, he is appealing to the house
judiciary committee for an early
hearing on legislation to make it
a federal criminal offense for a
parent to desert a child and
cross a state line.
'At least," he said, "we can
see to it that those who are too
sorry to support their own fami
lies can get put into jail while
you and I support his family
for him."
There now are 1,350,000 de
pendent children receiving an
average of about $28 each
monthly under the social se
curity public assistance pro
gram. This relief, financed
through money-matching ar
rangements among federal, state
and local governments, is' cost
ing almost a half-billion dollars
a year.

Portland, Ore., Aug. 30 (UK-
Former President Herbert Hoo

Mr. Hoover expressed his
views in a letter today to F. R.

that he was being quoted as fav

'I think if you will get the

we did not recommend valley

'We recommended for each

sole purpose being a coordinat

Russia Blasts
Again at Tito
London, Aug. 30 fu.P) Russia
fired another blast in the war of
nerves against Yugoslavia to
day, accusing the government of
Marshal Tito of "fresh scandals
and slanderous distortions" to
mask a double-dealing policy of
deceiving the Yugoslav people.
The Moscow radio broadcast
the latest Soviet note in series
which has strained relations be
tween the two communist domi
nated states.
The Soviet note was in reply
to a Yugoslav note of Aug. 20, in
which Tito's government reject
ed Soviet charges that it had ne
gotiated with the western pow
ers for an Austrian peace trea
ty behind the back of the Krem
lin. The Yugoslav note of Aug. 20
also offered to return Russian
expatriates to Russia.
"The new note of the Yugo
slav government is an accumula
tion of fresh scandals and slan
derous distortions, calculated to
mask its own double-dealing
policy and deceiving the people
of Yugoslavia," Moscow told the
Tito regime.
The xtussian note was dated
yesterday. On Aug. 20 the So
viets had threatened to invoke
ffA.tlt9A mASBiinit" n nrnlant

The Yugoslavs at the same time
accused the Russians of double

against Austria.
