Of 21 technical problems compiled by the National Inventors Council with the cooperation of the Armed : Services, ‘at least 16 Were plainly connected with military difficult- “ies under extreme cold. | Appeal to Inventors | The Council, composed of 18 top- rank scientists, engineers and re- |search men, appealed to other sci- | entists and to “individual inventors” for ideas on such problems as: | An “extra light weight, low ground | pressure, gasoline-operated . over- | snow vehicle” usable as “a prime mover for sleds or men and to bréak | trail in snow for men equipped with snowshoes or skis.” The weight, com- bat loaded, should approximate 1,000 pounds. ‘. “A device capable of burrowing ia large vehicle-sized hole or tun- nel through hard compacted snow or | solid ‘ice to produce rapid under- | snow storage and protection.” | ‘“An over-surface personnel, sup- !ply and tdctical vehicle that can | negotiate the major types of Arctic H-terrain at all seasons.” Among other items, it- would “have to be fairly large with. the ability to travel in water,” *and - suitable for operations in winter-long darkness or summer- long. light of polar areas. Simpler ‘Sounding Preblems Tdeas .were. sought on simpler sounding problems, too. For example, the National = Inventors' Council would like to have communications to it, in care of the Commetce De- partment here, regarding: “Practical methods of destroying tell-tale - tracks of men.on foot or vehicles across snow _fields.” “Inexpensive methods for rapidly converting snow.and ice to drinking water ‘in quantity.” “Engine and personnel heaters for vehicles, particularly methods to keep crews of vehicles warm enough without so much clothing that they cannot perform their tasks.” At least one problem seemed nicely adapted, to the talents of people who know nothing abdut machinery. . The Council, and through it the Defense Departmeni, would be hap- [py to get good suggestions on ma- terials which can be used as substi- tutes for down and feathers in sleep- ing | bags. ¥ ! “Down and waterfowl feathers for use in mountain and Arctic sleeping bags are critical materials in time of emergency,” the Countil explain- Jed .

Travel on Alaska's Scenic Stikine River COMEDY FEATURE NOW SCREENED, CAPITOL THEATRE Starting off with a bright comic whose laugh potential rates ex- high, Columbia Pictures has | come up with & very funny comedy | in “And Baby Makes Three.” Play- | ed to the hilt by a-pair of expert farceurs such as Robert Young | and sarbara Hale, assisted in their | strivings to tickle the funny-bone | by Robert Hutton, Janis Carter | and Billie Burke, “And Baby Makes | Three” opened yesterday at the Cap- | itol Theatre, where the audiepce | enjoyed it immensely. | The gimmick which serves to| ch the richly comical proceed- | ings, is the amusing plight that | young bride (Hale) finds hersel(i in shortly after she has divorced her first husband (Young). During her | wedding to Hutton, she faints and is | informed that she is going to have & baby. The wedding is momentarily postponed and & tussle ‘over the baby ensues between* Miss Hale ard| Young.
