SIX -MEDFORD MAIL TWBUHB Germany Ahead Of U. S. In Faster-Than-Sound Flight Troy, N. Y. U.R) The man who rooted out Germany's aero nautic secrets for the U. S. army air forces says the defeated Nazis hold a 5-to-10-ycar lead on this country in the field of faster-than-sound flight. And he wants the government to do something about it immediately. Dr. Paul E. Hemke, head of the Rensselaer Polytechnic en gineering department, urges the United States to establish 25 in dependent aeronautical research Institutes similar to the 12 to 18 which the Germans had. Such institutes should work not only on war problems, he said, but also on basic research the kind which "pays off" in the long run "This program would cost a lot of money, but only a sma fraction of the cost of another war," he declared. Although working with the government, Hcmke's proposed foundations "must hav- freedom from political red tape"; the scientists in charge of each would be "appointed In the way we name Justices of the U. S. supreme court," and the appoint ments would be permanent and "free from political Influence or government control." Nasls Had Head-Start Hemke spent more than three months . leading 25 American scientists through a labyrinth of German war secrets. They dis covered that while the United States built its first supersonic wind tunnel about two years ago, German scientists were "operat ing them" in 1B35. "Even now,1 he emphasized, "the Germans have 10 times as many such tun nels as we have. "While we are trying hard to pulj even with the Germans In supersonlcs. they will oe rorg- Ing ahead, for their scientists have the tremendous advantage of being more mature in this field," ha warned. "Even if all research facilities were taken from them the Allies could not prevent the German scientists from thinking. Declaring that "we are not superior In aeronautical re search, but we must be," Hemke drew another warning lor me American public from his In vestigation.

TROPIC DISEASES STATE IS BELIEF Men of Oregon's medical pro fession believe for the most part that there Is little danger to the health of Oregonians through the spread of "tropical" diseases by returning veterans according to the last issue of the Oregon Health bulletin, because Oregon's climate is not tropical. Careful consideration has been given to the potential hazards of the spread of malaria, tropical sore, dengue or break-bone fev er, cholera, plague, trench fever, yellow fever, fillariasis and the various dysenteries according to the release. "Effects of these di seases will be insignificant when contrasted with accidents, pneu monia and tuberculosis or the many physical defects recently brought to our attention by se lective service examinations," the bulletin stated. Malaria Is of special interest because in pioneer days it was considered "epidemic In Ore gon, the article relates. As many as 440 cases have been reported In one year, but analysis reveal ed that all but 23 of these were either recurrent cases or were contracted outside of this state. The Willamette valley, espec ially in Its central portion, does harbor the malaria-carrying Anopheles" mosquito, but its major activit; Is limited to a few months of the year, accord ing to the bulletin. Health officials are alert to the problem and surveys are made not only of current infes tation, but also the possibility of any increasing hazard through construction of water reservoirs, the bulletin relates. Probably the greatest public health hazard In Oregon as re lated to the return of veterans from overseas service is the pos sibility of the spread of dysen teries of various types, the bul letin concludes.
