Marine Guard
Will Protect
A"Bomb Test
Army-Navy Tighten
Control on Kwajelein
By The Associated Press
KWAJALEIN, Marshall Islands,
April 30-Marines with shoot to kill
orders will guard the world's great-
est secret-the atom bomb-as plans
mature in preparation for tests to be
held this July.
Security measures are being tight-
eped daily at this base for "Opera-
tion Crossroads" in which a joint
Army-Navy task force will make the
multi-million dollar experiment with
nuclear energy.
Only Select Few
By July 1 it will be impossible for
unauthorized travelers to pass this
way. None but the select few ever will
be allowed enter the barbed wire en-
closure where the atomic bomb will
be shielded behind a canvas wall in
a specially constructed vault.
Absolute secrecy will surround the
bringing of the bomb to Kwajalein.
Every effort will be made to keep
it from the sight of curious eyes, for
even the size and shape of this des-
tructive weapon is valuable informa-
tion to the have-not nations that
would like to share the secret.
Twenty-four Hour Patrol
Marines already are patrolling the
atom pen and making shore and off-
shore patrols around the clock. They
are under the command of Maj. Rob-
ert Houser of Bel Air, Md., a Pacific
war veteran
"It will be hard for a Pfc. to tell
a senator or high government official
he has no authority to enter a re-
stricted area," said Houser, "but that's
what they'll do. If anyone disobeys
orders given guards, they are liable
to be hurt."
Meanwhile weather experts worried
over what they consider the biggest
gamble in the operation-selection of
the day on which the atom bomb will
be dropped.
Need Perfect Weather
Summer storms start sweeping the
central Pacific in July, and it will
be the task of the experts to pick "one
perfect day" in the first 20 days of
July on which all conditions would be
favorable for observation, photo-
graphy, and scientific study of the
explosion.
Present indications are that the
season is a month ahead of that
charted in 1944 and 1945, considered
normal. Should this weather trend
continue, the usual August weather
would prevail during the bomb test
period. In that month storms are
lkely to sweep the Marshalls.
U' Flying Club
To Get Plane
The University Flying Club, reac-
tivated last fall after a temporary
wartime suspension, will receive its
third plane, an Aeronca Champion,
at Ann Arbor Airport Friday, it was
announced last night.
-The Club, listing 66 members all of
whom fly, conducts a ground school
once a week in addition to a general
weekly,. business meeting. Warren
Curry, graduate student, is president
of the group.

Faculty Attends
Discussions on
City Plannin
Six University faculty members
participated in the Local Planning
Institute held yesterday at Port
Huron, which brought together over'
150 representatives of county, city
and village governments.
The panel of experts included
Robert N. Cross of the Bureau of
Business Research, Prof. Amos H.
Hawley of the sociology depart-
ment, Prof. Harlow Whittemore
of the School of Architecture and
Design, Prof. Howard Y. McCluskey
of the School of Education and
John Perkins, secretary of the In-
stitute for Public Administration.
The Institute was sponsored by the
Michigan Planning Commission to
further education on the need for city
planning and the correct approach to
the problem.
Robert N. Cross declared that to be
realistic, community planning and
the master plan must be formulated
in the light of the long term outlook
for the future earning power of the
citizens and industries found in the
area. "An appraisal of the present
and future economic welfare of a
community," he added, "must pre-
cede the development of a master
plan if the plan is to fit the commun-
ity not only as it exists at present but
as it appears likely to be constituted
in the future."
The success of efforts at physical
planning, Prof. Amos Hawley said,
hinges directly upon the effective-
ness of social planning. Social
planning, he pointed out, includes
population stability, adult educa-
tion, citizen participation in local
government, the relations between
governmental units, and above all
an intelligent organization of gov-
ernmental administration.
"The biggest problem now in zon-
ing," Prof. Harlow Whittemore said,
"is not within the city or village but
in the urban fringe of residential,
business and factory development
outside of the incorporated area in
the township or county." Since this
area is to all intents and purpose
part of the greater city, he said, the
real answer to this problem is county
or township planning on the same
basis as municipal zoning.

PROGRESS:
Less Disease
IIndustrym
Dr'. Hamilton
Pointing to the precautions now
taken in many dangerous trades and
to the increased number of industrial
physicians, Dr. Alice Hamilton, pro-
fessor emeritus of industrial medicine
at Harvard University, declared that
we have gone far in combating in-
dustrial disease in this country.
More Precautions Taken
Where formerly no precautions
were taken in the industries in which
lead is used, Dr. Hamilton said, now
the lead powder is kept in dust-proof
apparatus when possible, or water is
used to keep down the dust. Ventila-
tion experts are often employed and
a lead-free enamel or glaze is used
on pottery and sanitary ware, she
said.
A large branch of the American
Medical Association is now composed
of industrial physicians and surgeons,
where formerly there were few and
they were often not the best men in
the profession, Dr. Hamilton said.
Automobile, rubber, and electrical
apparatus industries now have excel-
lent medical care systems, although
such industries as mining are still
backward in thisrespect, she said.
Contrasts Limited..,?oisons
Emphasizing the increasing com-
plexity of the problem of industrial
disease, Dr. Hamilton contrasted the
limited number of poisons formerly
found in industry with the large num-
ber now known, and the difficulty in
determining their effect on human
beings. Although little was done dur-
ing World War I to combat diseased
prevalent in munitions industries, in
World War II the dangers of pro-
cesses such as welding have been
guarded against, she said.
GM Car Prices
Raised by%,-OPA
WASHINGTON, April 30 - (P) -
OPA today raised retail price ceil-
ings for General Motors automobiles
by $16 to $60 to compensate for
wage increases in the industry.
The price hikes, effective imme-
diately, range from $16 to $30 on
Pontiac and Oldsmobile models; from
$18 to $38 on Buicks; and from $24
to $60 on Cadillacs.
The increase is $18 for the only
Chevrolet model which had been
priced earlier on the basis of manu-
facturing costs prior to the wage in-
crease of 18/2 cents hourly recently
granted by GM.

Although the maintenance costI
of the ga turbine ay cneevably
be higher than that of the steam
turbine, Prof. Vinc:ent ,aid, te
cost of operation and the initial
cast would eventually be appreci-
ably lower. The lower operating
coast, he explained, depends upon
the effieneny of the regenerating
system used to recover heat from
the exhaust gases for use in the
turbine again, while the lower init-
ial cost is due to the fact that the
gas turbine eliminates the neces-
sity for boilers, condensing equip-
ment and complicated valve sys-
terms.
"In ships," he said, "compactness
and simplicity of operation mean
fewer men needed in the engine room
to operate the turbines and more
cargo space available. Because the
gas turbine has the eadvantages
there is a good possibility that it may
gradually replace the steam turbine,
particularly in ships of the interme-
diate class."
The main trouble encountered in
the development of the gas turbine,
Prof. Vincent added, has not been in
design, but rather in material. Prog-
gress has been delayed for a long
time, he said, because there were no
metals known that would withstand
the combination of high tempera-
ture and ti emendous mechanical
Diverse Groups
Make up Active
Concert Band
Called by many outstanding musi-
cians one of the nation's finest bands,
the University Concert Band is one of
the most active organizations on
campus.
During the past year the Con-
cert Band, cited by eminent au-
thorities for its tone and ensemble,
has appeared on 45 different occa-
sions including concerts, broad-
casts, war relief programs, confer-
ence programs and various out-of-
town and campus events.
Twenty-two states are represented
in the personnel of the Concert Band,
and more than half of the members
of the Band are returned war veter-
ans. Many students in the Band are
music majors who have won national
honors while playing in high school
bands and orchestras.
It is significant ,however, that
many of the top-notch musicians in
the Band are registered in other pro-
fessional schools such as Engineer-
ing, Law and Medicine, and some-
times qualify as First Chair and
Sectional leaders,
Each succeeding term finds more
women musicians swelling the ranks
of the Concert Band, and many are
rated among the Band's most out-
standing performers. It was not un-
til Prof. Revelli took over direction
of the Band that women were al-
lowed to join. Although the March-
ing Band is still reserved for male
students, Prof. Revelli believes that
the addition of capable women in-
strumentalists adds "charm and
musicianship" to the Concert Band.
Although the demands of member-
ship in the Band are great, awards for
service are made each year. A silver
watch charm is the reward for one
year's service, a gold ring for 2, a
band M sweater for 3 and an M
blanket for 4.


strlesses necessar'y for schl turbines
to operate at high efficiency.
"The tremendous power required
for ship propulsion," he explained,
"necessitates increased blade
length which in turn produces at
rise in stress in the blade. More-1
ever, to achieve a thermal effi-
ciency of about 35;, which ap.
pears possible, as compared to1
about 25% for a steam turbine in
a ship, higher temperatures are
necessary. Under these conditions1

To City (Comumittee
Questioned by The Daily on the
campus traffic problem, Vice-presi-
dent Marvin L. Niehuss said yester-
day that traffic is not the responsi-
bility of the University.
Niehuss said the University will
take no action, but will refer the
problem to the University Relations
Committee of the city Common
Council. The University has no fa-
cilities for traffic control, he said.
65 Accidents in 1945
According to city police records,
there were 65 accidents in the imme-
diate campus vivinity in 1945. In
1941, when there were 12,845 stu-
dents at the University, there were
34 accidents in the campus area.
Assistant Dean Walter R. Rea said
there are 1,500 to 2,000 more stu-
dents operating cars for the Spring
term than last fall. This includes
1,200 students who are exempt from
University automnobile regulations.
Police Force Has 33 Men
City Police Chief Sherman Morten-
son said the police force has 33 men,
with two more requested in the new
budget. He quoted National Safety
Council figures prescribing one po-
liceman per thousand persons. Ann
Arbor's population is estimated at
35,000. This does not include ap-
proximately 14,000 University stu-
dents.
University officers have the au-
thority of deputy sheriffs Qn the
campus itself, but have no authority
on city streets, according to Dean
Rea. A University spokesman said
he did not believe they could lawfully
direct traffic on city streets.
Mortenson said a complete study of
the city's traffic situation is con-
templated. He said the State St.-
South University intersections was
now being considered by the city
Traffic Commission. Ann Arbor's
city speed limit is 25 miles per hour.

Student Exhibit
Of Sculpturn
ens Today
The 17th annual exhibition of
sculpture under the sponsorship of
the University of Michigan Institute
of Fine Arts, will open at 8 p.m. to-
day in the concourse of the League.
On display will be 23 sculptures by
14 students working under Prof.
Avard Fairbanks of the Department
of Fine Arts. In addition six studies
by Prof. Fairbanks will be exhibited.
Included among these are: "Nancy
Hanks" and "Evening Prayer."
Students contributing to the dis-
play are: Mary Jean Anderson, Mary
Elizabeth Coller, Janet B. Edgar,
Dorothy Agurk Edmunds, Dorothy E.
Legg, Ruth Lavely, Rita Parrish, El-
bert Porter, Gloria Ann Salter, Al-
fred Stevenson, Mabel M. Harjula,

mostt blades of prr"eent materials
wijidevelop f[ailsures or even melt
off."
Special alloys developed during
wartime, many of thiem still secret,
he said, now meet these requirements
and the wa,,y has been cleared for
greater achievement along other
lines. Emphasizing that "we have a
good many years to go yet," however,
Prof. Vincent pointed out that the
advantages of propulsion of ocean
liners by gas turbines will not be-
some a reality until the operat-
rn telperatore tan be increased
I horn 1300 deg rees-F to 1500 de-
Yrees-F or 1700 degrees-F for con-
cinuous operation and regenerative
cycles.
"One of the main problems now,
facing the design of gas turbines
for ship propulsion," he said, "is
the development of a reversible
pitch propeller that is adaptable
to the gas turbine." The reverse
element used in connection with
the steam turbine is not satisfac-
tory when used in connection with
the gas turbine, he explained, in
that it sets up turbulence and re-
sistance resulting in greater fuel
consumption and higher operating
costs.
Prof. Vincent's statement followed
recent predictions that the gas tur-
bine, used successfully in the propul-
sion of aiiplanes and generally ac-
claimed as a revolution in the genera-
tion of power, would soon be used in
ocean liners, locomotives and central
power stations.
Ann Arborites Hurt
As Plane Crashes
Two Ann Arbor men were injured
yesterday when their plane crashed
into a farm field north of Saline after
striking a high tension wire.
Robert O. Howse, president of Ar-
gus, Inc., and Joseph E. Thompson,
-company pilot, are "resting com-
fortably" in St. Joseph Hospital
where doctors report that neither
suffered serious injuries.
