There la not alone the Incredible tale that la unfolding In the courtroom here in Nuernberg.

One of these is the story of how the Germans toyed with the Idea of developing suicide planes to repel an Invasion fleet in 1943 when their dreams of world conquest hud come to on end In Russia.

Perilous Test Flights. A pilots compartment was inend other small stalled In the V-modifications made, and then it was tested. There was a high fatality rate among the test pilots, but Reitsch came through and was convinced that this was the weapon that could be used. The particular danger in testing these planes was in larding them, whether as gliders or with a power unit, because of the speed and angle at which they came in. Ship targets were simulated by colored smoke bombs on the ground and dives and approaches were made to test angles and necessary speeds. An intricate aiming device was developed. The most Important thing that had to be done carefully and accurately was to determine the distance from the ship that the V-- l was supposed to enter the water. The size and weight of the ship had to be judged exactly. By a sliding scale on the apparatus before him, the pilot was able to select his proper angle and maintain it correctly until his plane entered the water. The dive toward the water at a speed probably greater than S28 miles an hour was to disintegrate the V-- l and give the necessary impetus to the torpedo to continue on through the water until it reached a certain position, when the time fuse would automatically l, Released by Weetern Newspaper Union.

He asked her: What do you want to be when you grow up?" The youngster replied, Alive. In this atomic era, its pleasant to note, then, that there are at least two groups of people In this country who not only assume that most of us will stay alive for a re a sonable period, but who are making plans based on that assumption. One group comprises the radar experts who earnestly promise we'll be rocketing to the moon and back by 1998 stopping to refuel along the stations lunar skyway at filler-u- p suspended in space and perhaps plucking moonflowers In a hanging worker, no matter how hard they work, may find lt impossible to save money toward the time when they can no longer wield the scythe and hay fork. Nor is the farmer able, in many cases, to put by a little money to provide for his wife and family, should he die prematurely or be disabled. Consequently there are more and more aged persons in rural areas who have to be cared for by county and state on a charity basis a procedure which is not only expensive but unfair, since it treats thrifty and thriftless exactly alike. The old age assistance charity or as its called, lumps together the persons who strove to take care of themselves during their working years but failed, with those who squandered their earnings. Mr. Benedict guesses thered be fewer such charity cases and fewer farmers haunted by the spectre of becoming such charity cases were workers In agriculture allowed to participate In the social security system.
