( International Soundphoto) Reds Said Arming Submarines With Atomic Torpedoes Battle Creek, Mich. U.R) Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, chief of Naval operations, warned Saturday that Russia may be arming her vast submarine fleet with guided missiles and atomic torpedoes. Burke said that missiles launched from Russian submar ines "could constitute a serious threat to our ports and to our coastal cities." . TheU . S. Navy is "not the only navy interested in submarine-launched guided mis siles," Burke commented. - He rioted that Soviet Adm. L. Vlad imirskiy, strongly implied re cently that Soviet submarines cither have or will be equipped with guided missiles and atomic torpedoes. The Russian admiral, Burke added, "laid great stress on the ability of submarines to attac.t enemy bases and coastal tar gets" with missiles. Main Weapon Burke noted that the Russian admiral also observed that the submarines main weapon, the torpedo, can be provided with atomic explosives which in crease "the striking power of the submarine to an extraord inarily high degree." The Russian adminal was quoted by Burke as saying that while it would take 8 to 10 normal torpedoes to sink a bat tleship, such a ship "can be sunk or made useless by only one atomic torpedo, and it is not necessary for the torpedo to hit the ship." Burke noted that the Russian admiral also mentioned the of fensive and defensive potential ities of mines, which are "very difficult" to combat. "This Soviet admiral was not speaking idly, and- unfortunate ly, he is correct in the case," Burke said. "It is true that submarine-launched missiles and submarine - launched mines could constitute a serious threat to our ports and to our coastal cities." Planning Officials Turn Up Problems Chicago 4U.R) Planned communities can run into strange problems. A survey be ing made by the. American Soci ety of Planning officials turned up these examples: Some of the post-war "com pany towns" in Canada gra ciously laid out are surrounded by a ring of slums. Since the sale of liquor is prohibited in the towns, taverns and poor housing cluster around the border. The British National Govern ment planned and approved the development of Stevenage, Eng land, for a 10-fold increase in population, from 6,000 to 60.000. But the residents weren't given any say in making the plans and it took a long court fight before the project went through. In the United States, new plan ned communities such as Levit town, Pa., and Park Forest. 111., discovered that most of the Resi dents were about the same age. As a result, most of their chil dren were in the same grades, and the lack of school facilities for those bulging classes will re main a problem through high school. The society said that it is con ducting the survey to find out and built after World War II are how the communities planned making out. MORE N.Y. IRRIGATION Ithaca, N.Y. OJ.P.)

Pilots Association Suspended by AFL Chicago (U.R) The Air Line Pilots association has been sus pended from the American Fed eration of Labor because its members are flying United Air Lines despite another union's strike, it was revealed Saturday. A recommendation of expul sion from the AFL has also been prepared and will be submitted to the federation's next conven tion. The double action by the AFL's National Executive Coun cil was revealed in a letter to Chicago union leaders from Dave Beck, president of the AFL Teamsters Union. AFL President George Meany had already accused the pilot's union of acting in collusion with United Air Lines and refusing to observe picket lines set up by striking AFL Flight Engineers. About 500 engineers went on strike across the country last Oct. 23 in protest against a United ruling that all engineers hired in the future must be qual ified pilots. United has been able to keep its flights in the air be'cause pilots have crossed the picket lines and filled in' for the strik ers. Leaders of the pilot's union were called before an AFL sub committee, and Beck said they conceded "that they were in co operation with the company both before and after the strike date in order to see to it that mem bers of ALPA replaced the strikers." Chewing Gum Helps To Diagnose Tumors Ann Arbor. Mich. (U.R) Chewing gum helps doctors diag nose tumors, according to an arti cle in a University of Michigan Medical Bulletin. The bulletin said the gum is used in a technique called sialo graphy, which is a means of X- raying the salivary glands. As a diagnostic tool, sialo graphy not only reveals tumors of the salivary glands but helps doctors plan surgical approaches and, in some cases, uncovers elu sive cancers, the bulletin said. A sialogram is a picture show ing an opaque substance which has been injected into the glands. What the barium milkshake is for the stomach ulcer, the opaque material is for the sali vary gland tumor. The doctor anesthetizes the in jection site and injects the sub stance, called pantopaque, into the glands, and takes the "pic ture." Then the patient chews a stick of gum for about one minute and another "picture' 'is taken. A normal gland, the bulletin said, should empty itself of the opaque material within five min utes because the chewing gum acts as a "reflex chemical stim ulator." Second Year of Life For Child Important Los Angeles (U.R) Dr. Henry Work, a child psychiatrist, says the second year of a child's life may be the most important one from the standpoint of mental health. "It is the year of socializa tion," explained Work, of the University of California at Los Angeles and nationally known psychiatrist. "During the second year the child generally learns most of the basic social patterns. He learns to feed himself and is toilet-trained. He learns to walk and thus is removed from his 'sit-down world.' He also begins to learn how to get along with other people." Work pointed out that "men tal hygiene should be part of normal child care," and urged that doctors and parents be "con cerned with how early mother child relationships are establish ed." "Many psychiatric problems in childhood can be prevented with a better understanding of this relationship," Work added. CLEANUP TIME Kenesaw, Neb.

The Navy hopes soon to wrest the world's speed record from the Air Force with a new superson ic carrier fighter. The plane on which the Navy is pinning its hopes is the F8TJ Crusader a sleek, swept-back wing fighter built by Chance Vought Aircraft, Inc., Dallas, Tex. The Crusader already has ex- No Time for Fine Bedside Manners In Atomic Attack Chicago (U.R) Federal Civil Defense Administrator Val Peterson warned Saturday that doctors will have no time for a kindly bedside manner if an atomic bomb strikes. Residents of a city under atomic bombardment will have only two choices, "stay and die or move out and survive," he said. "No ambulance may ever , ar rive, wounds which do not im mediately endanger the patient's life will get only summary first aid treatment, and dying pa tients may get no care at all other than sedation," he said. Peterson, speaking before a Civil Defense conference of County Medical Society repre sentatives, said the potential load on medical personnel is al ready too great. Make Best Use "No matter how well we lay our plans to prevent casualties," he said, "nuclear attack would result in more casualties than we could properly handle. The best we will ever be able to do is to make the most efficient use of the facilities and personnel we have available.". Peterson told the physicians at the sixth annual conference, sponsored by the American Med ical Association, that everyone's attitude toward casualty care must be revised. "We are not psychologocally equipped to accept the produc tion line' type of medical care that means little individual at tention to patients," he said. ceeded the speed of sound in level flight and the Navy has hopes', it was learned Saturday that it will zoom along around 1,000 miles per hour or Vz times the speed of sound in the speed run. The current speed record is 822.13 miles per hour, set in August by the Air Force's Sup ersaber, a fighter now in opera tional use. The glory of having the fast est plane has become a matter of pride between the Navy and Air Force. In recent years the record has alternated between the two services, with the Air Force coming up with a faster plane every time the Navy won top honors. Even if the Navy should win back the speed record now, it is likely to be snatched back in quick order by the Air Force The Air Force has under test a new day. fighter the F-104 which is believed capable of speeds of 1,200 miles per hour or twice the speed of sound, The Crusader and the F-104 now are undergoing flight tests at the flight center at Edwards Air Force base in California The Navy hope is to put the Crusader through speed trials there some time in the next six weeks. 1 tl . --3f1JS& SCAS- ,NfvlCT0RY TOAST Gen.

Hoffman, Chairman of the Board of" the Studebaker-Pack-ard Corp., sought Saturday to stifle any move to make him a candidate for the Presidential nomination. "I am definitely not a candi date for President," Hoffman, a Republican, said in a letter to a South Bend newspaper pub lisher. He said he wanted only to see President Eisenhower re main in office, and, if that is not possible, to see another man elected who will support Mr. Eisenhower's policies whole heartedly. . "For such a candidate I will work just as hard as I did in 1952 for the nomination and election of President Eisenhow er," Hoffman said. HURRY! HURRY!
