DEATH RAY FOR
PLANE ENGINES
SEENIN TESTS
Atom Bomb Test in Spring
May Put Forces on Track
of New Weapon.
By Joseph L. 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.

TOWNSEND PLAN
FOR INCOME TAX
URGED BY ANGELL
Washington, Feb. 28 U.R
A group of about 90 congress
men today urged adoption of a
new, streamlined Townsend old
age pension plan.
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.
