A 42,000-pound bomb being developed by army and air forces probably will be given a test in the next few months. So far as known this will be the largest standard explosive nonatomic missile ever made. The weight of the bomb suggests it is intended for use in such aircraft air-craft as the B-36, which is capable of carrying 38 tons of explosives and is equipped with a bomb bay of enormous dimensions. AAF has even larger bombs one of 100,000 pounds under consideration considera-tion and in the blueprint stage. But designers said a curtailed research program resulted in shelving these projects. They described the 42,000-pounder as a "general purpose block-buster" type. More Fearful Weapon. It was hinted that the military may be looking into the future for even a more fearful weapon an atomic bomb which when dropped from a high altitude might sink into the earth and produce a man-madt earthquake. An AAF announcement of forthcoming forth-coming tests with deep-penetration bombs on a submarine assembly factory at Farge, Germany, referred re-ferred specifically only to two standard stand-ard explosive bombs developed since war's end. They are the 25,000-pound "Amazon" "Ama-zon" and "Samson." . But the announcement concluded with this cryptic statement: "With the introduction of atomic warfare in World War in. It is logi cal that the need for these special ized types of bombs may be even greater for future defense." They Bore Deeply. The extent to which deep-penetration bombs can bore into the earth was demonstrated during the latter days of the war when Britain's roy al air force caved in a tunnel 135 feet below ground. Some atomic scientists interested in military use of the new energy are reported to want to test an atomic bomb touched off below the earth's surface. One theory is that the shock waves set in motion by the artificial earthquake earth-quake would tumble and crumple buildings over a much greater area than in any air-burst method. AAF said three B-29s are at the American air base of Giebelstadt in Germany, ready to begin the penetration pen-etration experiments on the Farge installation. ' The objective is to determine the capabilities of various types of bombs in penetrating reinforced concrete structures. AAF will drop 30 missiles and RAF 13. Farm Prices Found Above Support Level, Report Says WASHINGTON. The commerce department said that if farm prices were to fall the limit allowed by the government's support program, the price of food to the housewife. would drop an average of 6 to 8 per cent. It also said the farmers would still be assured of cash income equal to high wartime levels about 20 billion doilars a year. Aetualiy, a department analysis said, the record prices now being obtained for ' larm products will swell this year's farm income above even the record 25 billion dollars dol-lars the farmers collected last year. These high prices make it largely unnecessary for the government to do much under its support program. pro-gram. The commerce department estimated that the general farm price level would have to drop about 25 per cent to reach the price level support. . The support level is determined by taking into account not only the prices of what the farmers sell but also prices of things they buy.

LINCOLN GR1DDERS OPEN WITH 7-0 VICTORY OVER MURRAY' TACKLE SPANISH FORK NEXT IN LEAGUE TILT bulletin , The football festival to open the Region Three prep football season has been postponed until Friday night at 7:30 due. to inclement incle-ment weather, it was announced an-nounced late today by region re-gion officials. Games due to be played Friday afternoon will be played on Saturday-Coach Saturday-Coach Don Dixon's Lincoln gridders, with less than two weeks of practice behind them, showed some powerhouse tactics last Friday which have won for them two Region Three titles, and turned back a favored Murray Mur-ray high school team, 7-0, to open the football season for both clubs. The Tigers collide with the Spanish Fork Dons either to- night(Thursday) at the BYU stadium, sta-dium, or at Spanish Fork on Friday at 3:30 p.m. in the league opener for both teams. If the two teams play tonight it will be the feature tilt of the region's football festival. All eight teams of the region, along with their bands and rooting sections, will gather at the stadium. sta-dium. One of the opener games will be drawn irom a hat and the two teams drawn will show their wares in a league tussle. Dopesters are picking the Tiger-Dons game as a toss-up affair, af-fair, with Coach Gus' Black's Spanish Forkers given a chance to win over the defending champion Lincoln team. Coach Dixon admitted a mild surprise at the strength of his youngsters in their tilt with Murray last week. He pointed to Lee Nichols, Eugene Stubbs, Leo Hatch and Don Bradshaw as turning in outstanding games for the early season. The locals played most of Friday's Fri-day's game without the services of Ralph Willetts, classv full back, who ,was suffering with an infected foot. Dixon reports re-ports that he will be ready for action this weekend. Another change in the starting lineup will see Kay Baker, rapidly improving im-proving halfback, getting the nod over one of last wpp1t' starters. Baker has been com ing along fast, according to Dixon, Dix-on, and his passing and ball toting tot-ing will be used to advantage against Spanish. Lowell Madsen is another newcomer new-comer who will probably start this weekend for the first time. His play during practice sessions this week makes him an exceptional ex-ceptional halfback prospect. Against the Murray Smelter-ites Smelter-ites the locals started slowly and in the second quarter took the ball on their own 30 yard line and began a drive which ended in a touchdown by Willetts. With Leo Ferguson blocking and the entire backfield taking turns lugging the ball the Tigers eagea an me way down the. field. Kay Baker converted for the extra point. Only once did the Murray team threaten, then only through the tricky ball-running of Murray's Mur-ray's skatback. Dixon said that he was well pleased with his teams defensive play, but that the point-making tactics of his boys would have to be worked on before he was ready for league play. He promised local fans a more open type of ball than in the past and began work this week with his passers and pass snag-gers snag-gers in order to sharpen up that weapon.
