When Arnold Kuethe, professor of aerodynamics here, was just out of college in 1927 and Lindbergh had flown across the Atlantic, one of his teachers told him, 'The airplane has gone just about as far as it can go. From here on it's simply a matter of refinements." Since then Prof. Kuethe has worked on quite a few refinements. To the layman aero-dynamics has about as much meaning as gariatrics or dendrochronology. Actually Prof. Kuethe is the man who tells the de- signer just what the requirements are for a plane to do a given speed. College Interest "I'd like to say that I was born with a model airplane in my mouth" he says, "but the fact is that I never had more than a passing interest in planes until I got to college." Prof. Kuethe has worked on wind tunnels for the Bureau of Standaids, acted as consultant for the Navy, Guggenheim Airship Institute, and Detroit Exhibit Includes 'U' Art Eight members of the design and painting staff of the architecture col- lege are represented in the current Annual Exhibition for Michigan Ar- tists at the Detroit Institute of Arts. One of the major awards, the $200 Detroit Museum of Art Founders So- ciety for the best painting or sculp- ture by a resident Michigan artist, was given to Prof. Carlos Lopez. Other faculty members showing work in the exhibition are Professors Jean Paul Slusser, Donald B. Gooch and Emil Weddige and Charles Farr, Karl Kasten, Aare Lahti and Roger Hollenbeck, instructors. A total of 14 works is being exhibited by these artists. 'U' Scientists Form Discussion Groups Carrying out a plan proposed at their October meeting, the Associa- tion of University of Michigan Scien- tists will organize discussion groups at their meeting at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the bast Conference Room of the Rackham Building. In accordance with the proposed program, the Association will split up into small discusion groups to study specific topics and meetings of the organization. as a whole will be less frequent in the future. PROF. ARNOLD KUETHE has worked on -aero-dynamics across the nation from Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology to the California Institute of Technology.[ In 1927 he met Edith Mary Quinn, whom he married in 1935. "Sort of a whirlwind courtship," Prof. Kuethe comments philosophically. Ann Arbor Booster He came here in 1941, and is a great booster of Ann Arbor. "I've lived in New York and California but I'm still a midwesterner at heart," he says. "The only thing is that I've gotten a little bitter about the aca- demic life. Just as I got here they did away with vacations." Lately Prof. Kuethe has been active doing work for the Navy through Johns Hopkins in the field of guided missiles. Speeds have been studied as high as 3,000 miles per hour. In fact Prof. Kuethe doesn't seem very much concerned about the 27,000, miles per hour required for planes to get outside of our own atmosphere to reach other planets. "I don't suppose that it's incon- ceivable that we could attain speeds fast enough to reach the moon," he says, "although I don't know why anybody would want to." General Ramey To Speak Here On Atom Bomb Will Discuss Value In Preventing Wars Brig.-Gen. Roger M. Ramey, com- mander of Army Air Forces Task Group 1.5, the group which dropped the atomic bomb in "Operation Cross- roads" of Bikini, will address the Oratorical Association audience at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in Hill Audito- rium. As commander of the world's only atom-bombing organization, General Ramey will discuss its capabilities for the defense of our country and its potential use in prevening future wars. During the war, General Ramey headed the now famous 58th Bom- bardment Wing, which sent B-29's against the Japanese and performed outstanding bombing missions from India to the Marianas. He also com- manded the 43rd Bombardment Group and the 5th, 20th and 21st Bomber Commands. When he was appointed comman- der of Task Group 1.5, General Ramey assembled the key men of his 58th Wing staff, all the original peo- ple who were associated with the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombings, plus a collection of the most celebrated airmen of the country, to form the group which would drop the atom bomb at Bikini. He initiated an extensive training program at the Roswell Army Air Field in New Mexico, and carried on this training at Kwajalein and Eni- wetok in the Pacific. In the Bikini experiment, General Ramey was in command of air attack, air photo, air service, weather reconnaissance, air instrumentation and test require- ment and air transport squadrons.
