To explore a region of the atmosphere never before successfully investigated, the Navy, in collaboration
with Army Ordnance engineers, will send a miniat ure scientific laboratory shooting 100 miles up into
the ionosphere at White Sands Proving Ground, near Las Cruces, N. M. Photos and diagrams above
show the "lab," which will be contained in the warhead of a V-2 rocket. Scientists at many observation
posts will operate a massive array of equipment to track the rocket on its six -minute flight and record
the data that it automatically radios back to earth. Diagram at upper left shows recording and radio
transmitting devices in the warhead. At left, Dr. E. H. Krause, head of the Rocket Sonde Section of the
Naval Research Laboratory, makes a final check on the instruments. Bottom diagram shows complete
rocket with figure of man for size comparison.

fire" in no 'least China.

Jews Flee Ott -saws
Thousands of Jews being re-
patriated from Russia are fleeing

cape intermittent *waves of anti-
Semitic terror at the •hands cif out:-
law
ut:law bands.

in boosted lay bandit attacks on

- unishing those perpetrating anti-

quate protection for all.

pected to be repatriated from Lus-
sie by Aug. 1, boosting Pole "s
Semitic poprl tion to approximate-

Plan For Free India
Acceptance by the Congress
Party and Moslem League of
Britain's plan for coalition in-
terim government leading to In-
dian independence was viewed as
a virtual certainty.
The prevailing sentr11ent within
the Congress Party high command
appeared to be that the party
would not permit quibbling to en-
danger its long -sought goal of in-
dependence. Ivfosler league lead-
ers previously had stet ^d that their
organization's approve' could be
taken for granted.
Under the British plan, which
was announced Sunday, the League
and the party each would have
five representatives on a 14 -man
interim cabinet. The other four
scats would go to miu, city groups.
The All -India Congress Work-
ing Committee raised the question
of the withdrawal of British troops
from India. 'n connection with the
interim go-rument proposal of
Viceroy Lo d Wavell.
British officials said the ques-
tion of troop Withdrawals would
be a matter for the interim govern-
ment to rte( otiate.
Strike Threat Lifted
The shadow of a crippling mari-
time strike lifted from the coun-
try's busy waterfronts—the big tie
up cancelled exact!;- one minute
before it was to bep;irr.
A hectic settlement ended the
prolonged end storm, labor dis-
pute even as crew were quitting
fheir •sh;ps and picket lines formed.
Maritime workers in most United
States ports returned to their ships
as local unions ratified the. agree-
ment reached with -the ship opera-
tors. However, on the Pacific
Coast, between 22,000 and 30,000
lengshorenten and associated work-
ers were still away from their
jobs, pending ratification of the
contract.
$750,000,000 Crop
A record crop valued at $750,-
000,000 will be harvested from the
fields, gardens and orchards of On-
tario this year, according to Hon.
T. L. Kennedy, Ontario Minister
of Agriculture.
"The only thing we. are a little
Light on this year far is cheese".
Mr. Kennedy said. "Production of
butter is within five or seven per
cent. of 1)45, but all the other
farm factors are up. The fruit
crop is most promising and we
will have at Least as many hogs
this year es last."
No Trial For Hirohito
A decision has been made on
"high political levels" not to try
Emperor- Hirohito as a war crim-
inal, Joseph B. Keenan, chief
prosecutor for the United States in
the Japanese war crimes trial, de-
clared.
Ivlr. Keenan felt it would be n
"distinct mistake" to .y the Em-
peror. Hirohito, Mr. Keenan felt,
was less ae war criminal than "a
figurehead and a fraud perpetrated
on the Jae -nese people."
Woodworkers' Strike Ended

lumbia woodworkers has ended.
