Catapult Idea
Revived in Novel
Weapon Designs
New York -lUPli- The prin
ciple of the catapult, the siege
artillery of the Roman Em
pire and of the Middle Arcs,
is revived in one of two novel
new weapon designs being
submitted to the U.S. military
authorities.
The catapult is intended to
throw a 300 to 400-pound load
such as a jellied gasoline fire
bomb to attack a strong en
emy position or to hurl pack
ages of ammunition, food or
other supplies or an anchor
and a cable to friendly troops
pinned down by enemy fire
or a natural obstacle.
The other weapon, the
"grasshopper," looks like a
small flying saucer and would
be used to catapult one or two
soldies carrying assault weap
ons over a low hill, a small
river or a swamp or from ice
floe to ice floe in Arctic war
fare. It would be capable of
traveling in leaps of 150 feet
or more for 150 miles or even
more.
Mora Revolutionary
The grasshopper will take
troops in a hurry many places
that cannot be penetrated by
ordinary vehicles and where
the use of helicopters would
be subjected to undue risks
The grasshopper is the more
revolutionary of the new
weapons, but its potential uses
have not been fully explored,
according to J. J. Mascuch,
president of The Breeze Cor
porations, designer of both
systems.
On the other hand, he said
the broad usefulness of the
small catapult, especially in
terrain like Korea, Laos or
Vietnam for counter-insurgent
or what military men call
"low yield warfare," should
be apparent to every military
man.
"The catapult of the Ro
mans and the medieval armies
was a huge ungainly affair of
massive beams, counter
weights and twisted ropes that
had to be dragged by huge
gangs of men," he explained.
"The Breeze Long Range
Stores Delivery Device, as the
ratapult is technically labeled,
is a neat precision machince
that weighs less than 1,000
pounds and folds up into a
small trailer rather like the
naul-it-yourseir ' trailer you
rent from a neighborhood gHS
station.
Power from Cartridge
Yet this tiny catapult will
throw a 350 pound object 450
feet forward or up and over a
hill almost 250 feet high. This
great power Is obtained from
a modified 37-millimeler ex
plosive cartridge. Instead of
driving a projectile from a
cannon barrel, the explosive
drives a piston mechanism.
The piston actuates an in
geniously designed system of
strong levers and springs that
hurls the load just as the an
cient catapult did but with a
range and accuracy the me
dieval engineers didn't dream
of.
Mascuch is a veteran In
ventor of military devices. He
developed the first radio
shielding for aircraft and the
first body armor for military
aviators. Breeze makes many
military and aerial devices, in
cluding the rescue hoists and
winches used to retrieve our
austronauts from the sea after
their successful flights in orbit.

ctl conslits of ft judge, psyrhla
trlit. three clrrcymen, three editor,
.nd . women', editor. Each article
It ft lummary of a family dlha.ree-
nieni presenteo to the council. The
Council deals with problems, mator
ind minor, encountered by guid
ance counselor, and social worker.
Kdited by Mr.. Alma Denny. (Copy
right by General feature. Corp.)
Fran W. (Mother) - Maybe
if I disgrace her to her friends
she'll stop stealing.
Mrs. S. K. (Grandmother)
- That's too drastic. Stop set
ting temptation in her way.
Fran W. - Our daughter
is 8 years old. We're alarmed
over her stealing. First it was
chocolate bars from her old
er sister's room, then it was
small change from my purse.
Now she turns up with small
items that I'm sure she has
pilfered from the stationery
store - an eraser, a key ring,
a comic book I haven't given
her the money to buy. She
claims someone gave them to
her but she "forgets" who.
Her allowance of 25 cents a
week can't cover their cost.
We know we must nip this
fast. Punishment hasn't stop
ped it. I'm ready to scare her
with a policeman or expose
her to her playmates.
Mdi. S. K. - I'd hate to see
Fran make things worse by
making this problem public.
I'm sure there must be a sen
sible way to appeal to Joan.
I'm willing to talk to her
and try to get her to confess.
Then I can help her plan to
pay back her sister, her moth-.
er and the stationery slora
man. She can take so much
out of her allowance each
week, and we can help her
"earn" small amounts so that
the debts get paid up fast.
After that, we must help her
handle temptation.
Joan is a bright child, but
she seems sulky and unhap
py these days. Maybe it's her
conscience bothering her and
we can tackle the problem
that way, quietly and privately.
The Council - Your daugh
ter, Fran, has turned to this
alarming method of crying,
"Help!" By reaching out to
grab treats and possessions,
she seeks in this desperate
way to fill a lack in her life
which torments her. We agree
with your mother that if you
steal Joans good name
you will make things worse.
Instead, your job is to track,
dawn the causes of Joan's
misery.
Does she feel overshadowed
by her older sister - out in
the cold? Is she thrown with
what you might call spoiled
kids who have lots of spend
ing money and make her 25
cents inadequate for keeping
up with them? Psychologists
claim that when a young child
steals, it is a sign of insecuri
ty. She is trying to ease pains
of rejection and disapproval
by collecting objects which
comfort her.
Naturally punishment can't
help because it merely re
minds Joan that she's doing
something wrong, which she
knows anyway. It doesn't re
move the cause of her wrong
doing, or indicate a better
way of meeting her needs.
Mrs. K.'s approach sounds
promising, provided her rap
port with Joan Is rich enough
to evoke confession.
Basically Joan needs reas
surance from her parents and
her sister that she's accepted
and loved. All the child wants
is something rock bottom to
hold on to, the way an in
fant hugs a teddy bear in the
dark. Once she is solidly cer
tain of her place in the fami
ly "heart," she won't feel the
need to surround herself with
trifles and trophies to fill
her life.
Meanwhile the seriousness
of her acts must be impressed
upon her, with retribution -via
saved-up pennies - an im
perative. Aid in budgeting,
or an allowance raise, must
be considered, too. But the
long view backward and for
ward is the right one. Joan
will turn out fine if her pres
ent behavior is handled as a
legitimate "distress signal"
and treated with sympathy.
