Myl.r United Press Correspondent Roswell, N. M., Feb. 28 U.R) The atom bomb which bursts over the navy's guinea pig fleet In the Pacific next spring may put the armed forces on the track of a new weapon a ray that is death to airplane engines. It may but whether it will is one of those things that man, for all his boasted mastery over the atom, cannot predict with cer tainty. But the army air forces have an idea. And when army-navy task force No. 1 carries out its May 19 atomic bombing of sur face ships off Bikini Atoll in the Marshalls, the idea as well as the bomb will be put to the test. B-29 To Drop Bomb A B-29 cuper-fortress will drop the bomb. But it will be the out-moded B-17, flying by remote control without a crew, which will brave the violence of the atomic cloud to extract Its secrets. In charge of these radio-controlled "drones" Is Col. Harvey T. Alness, of Bayport, Minn. He is chief of the air instrumenta tion unit of the 68th wings' task group 1.9, the army's half of the joint army-navy task fores which will carry out "operations cross roads." "Frankly," Alness said, "we don't know what to expect." But the drones, obeying Impulses flashed from "mother ships" 10 to 12 miles distant, will "fly solo through the atom cloud and re turn with Information hereto fore undreamed of." To Test Engines One of the things the air forces will be most Interested in will be "engine power changes." How the intense radioactivity of the towering cloud which rises when an atomic bomb bursts will affect Internal combustion engines remains to be seen. But it Is known that radio ac tivity ionizes the air, changes it Into charged particles which con . duct electricity and thus Induce ' "leaks" ' from power-carrying wires. This conceivably could wreck the ignition system of an air plane engine and result in the craft's destruction. Obviously, radioactive clouds could stop in vading air armadas In their tracks. Alness does not believe all of his drones can survive their ven ture into the atomic cloud. All manned photographte planes have been warned to stay 10 to 12 miles from the bomb burst Col. William H. Blanchard, commander of the 98th wing 908th composite group, said hu man beings should not venture closer than five miles of the cloud for any extended period. But even those drones that succumb to heat, blast, pressure, turbulance, or radioactivity will tell their story before they die. Camera To Be Used A movie camera In the mother plane will record televized pic tures of the Instrument panel aboard the drone as it flies through the cloud. And the drones which survive will brine back not only a record of what they went through but also phys ical samples of the cloud Itself. Bags aboard the drones will au tomatically open to gather par ticles of the radioactive matter and will automatically seal after ward. The man who will actually drop the bomb will be selected from eight crews now being trained here and at Albuquerque and Clovls, N. M. These crews thus far have dropped an aver age of two mock atomic bombs each and will drop a total of about 10 before their training is ' finished. The crew with the best record will make the air drop off Bikini.

Rep. Homer Angell, R., Ore., spokesman for the group, said the house ways and means com mittee had been asked to con sider his bill embodying the ideas of Dr. Francis E. Town send, who originally proposed a $200-a-month pension for every body over 60. Angell said Townsend's plan now has been revised to pro vide an extra tax of three per cent on everybody's Income. The total amount collected then would be divided equally among all persons 60 or older and not gainfully employed. Petitions Shown The Townsend backers dis played petitions containing over 300,000 signatures urging pas sage of the new, streamlined Townsend plan. Angell said his bill would take care of all the nation's old folks, which he said even an expand ed social security wouldn't do. Under his bill pensioners would be required to spend their full monthly allowance within 30 days after they got it. Angel estimated that pen- mniil mn arnunrf S60-S79 a month if the national income were about $140,000.000.uuu. He said ways and means chair man Robert L. Doughton, D N.C., had promised his group a hearing. DAM BUILDER DIES Redding, Cal.. Feb. 28 (U.R) Frank T.
