Community Auditorium, ATOMIC ARTILLERY TRIAL The United States Army has announced that its huge new 280-millimeter gun, which was first shown + last October, is being used to fire a projectile “armed -with an atomic warhead. i ‘The possibilities which are opened up, by. “atomic artillery are numerous, since’ artillery is an all-weather weapon, which can fire very accurately. The disadvan- tage, of course, is that artillery is of limited range. In tactical land battles, atomic artillery could well be de- i cisive and it is to find out how decisive it might be that _ the test-firing of an atomic shell are being staged, Though there has been speculation that. atomic. ar- tillery would be used in Korea, if necessary, to end the | war, the latest report indi¢ates that such: artillery is not yet ready for use. The development seems to be coming along rather slowly, although it is difficult for. an out- _ sider to judge the possibilities in such a program, "which is both new and complex. The world’s first atomic cannon was being talked Many years ago, soon after the 1945 blasts in Japan. The atomic tests, which are held periodically in the United States, are necessary to keep defense officials in- : formed on all the possibilities of atomic power. Despite its hints that a hydrogen experiment had been conducted last November, there has beén no official word on fur- ther hydrogen bomb experiments in the latest series of tests. All propaganda is not obvious or whole untruths. Beauty is not a necessity for a woman but it makes life easier, Few friends come through’ when the majority is on the other side. That secret urge to tell the saps what you really think can get you in trouble. This is a good time to catch up with your work before! spring fever catches up with you, *The time to save money is when you can ° scrape up some to save. Next year is never a good time. ~~ SLICE OF HAM j } i i Enough To Make You Lose Some Sleep The Citizen Files 20 YEARS AGO TODAY Mrs, Mason, wife of George’ Grant Mason, head of the Pan American airways in Cuba, who was the guest of Mr. and Mrs, Ernest Hemingway for several | days of fishing, left yesterday over | the East/ Coast for Miami where she will take passage by plane to Havana. f Mrs. H.R.
