Guided Missile Research Takes Aircraft Slack
Los Angeles, Jan. 5—(U.P.)—A mammoth, hush-hush research program into push-button warfare today is taking up some of the post-war slack in Southern California's aircraft industry.
How much is being spent and how many persons are involved, the armed forces won't disclose. However, extent of the program is indicated by the fact that nearly every aircraft plant in this area has some sort of part in the current development of guided missiles.
Carl Robeson, administrative research assistant at Bendix aviation, called the program "a tremendous boom to the aircraft industry after war contracts were stopped."
The scope of the program was hinted by Dr. William Holley, technical director of the North American aviation aerophysics laboratory
Missiles capable of flying 3,000 to 5,000 miles can be built, but will require a nuclear reactor to be capable of that expended on the atomic bomb." Bolly said.
The latest development in the program here is the 7000-acre naval test station at Pt. Mugu. Completion date is set for 1951. From this point test missiles will be fired over the Pacific Ocean, with radar stations on Santa Cruz island tracking their course.
Another major center is the Inykern Naval Ordnance test station where 10,000 persons are engaged in guided missile work.
All of the plants work together on parts of missiles. One assembly point is Bendix aviation at Van Nuys, where parts are combined into working models and sent to Inykorin for testing. Bendix' own project is telemetering equipment, which transmits to the ground data gathered by instruments in the missiles.
Douglas aircraft at Santa Monica has devised a machine to transmit this data into charts, saving hundreds of man hours. The gadget, nicknamed "Herman," saved $3,000 on analysis of a single V-2 flight record.
Marquardt and the University of Southern California helped build the Gordon IV, a rocket missile resembling the German V-1.
California Institute of Technology has a jet propulsion laboratory doing research in liquid and solid fuels. Caltech also helped develop the W.A.C. Corporal.
Hughes aircraft in Culver City admits it is doing guided missile work for the air force, but will tell nothing more. Northrop Aviation at Hawthorne also will admit only that it is engaged in guided missile research.

150 Attend Violin Recital
An audience of 150 attended the senior recital Wednesday by Botty Tharp Breitag, violinist. Billie George, fine arts senior, assisted Mrs Breitag at the piano.
Lack of self-confidence prevented the solist from doing her best work. Technique and tone, however, were generally good, with the exception of uncertain intonation at times and rather narrow dynamic range. The deFalla-Kreisler number, "Danse Espagnole" received the most relaxed and inspired playing of the evening.
The performance of Mozart's "Concerto No. 2 in D" revealed an understanding of the technical obstacles of a Mozart composition. The cadenzas, which are difficult passages for solo instrument alone, were especially well done. They were composed for the concerto by Leopold Auer, Hungarian violinist and teacher.
Mrs. Breitag played the G Minor sonata by Tartini with flowing tone and a sense of the rhythmic pulse. A group of short, light pieces, including "Humoresque" (Aulin) and "Passepied" (Delibes-Elman), concluded the program.

Few Students Get Union Rebates
Comparatively few students appeared at the Union bookstore Wednesday to collect the 15 per cent rebate on purchases made there during the past six months.
"We probably rebated less than $1,000 yesterday," said L. E. Woolley, manager of the bookstore. "We expect more today, probably several thousand dollars."
Students can collect rebates by presenting their receipts. Purchases made before the past six months will also be rebated at 15 per cent.
Republicans Ask For Stiff Cuts In US Budget
Washington, Jan. 5 — (U.P.) The administration picked out defense and foreign aid for stiff budget cuts today as Republicans shouted for more and bigger slashes all down the line.
Prospects for a reduction of about $3,000,000,000 in defense and European recovery funds turned up in a partial picture of the new budget President Truman presents to congress next Monday.
Speaker Sam Rayburn told newsmen Wednesday that all but about $1,800,000,000 of these savings will be offset by increases in domestic spending. He said the budget would total about $42,000,000,000.
the army, navy and air force,
particularly the navy, would take
a cut of some $2,000,000,000 while
the Marshall Program reduction
would amount to around $1,000,
-000,000.
Rayburn's announcement only served to provoke new Republican demands that spending be cut even more drastically.
House G.O.P. whip Charles W. Halleck, Ind., said Republicans will "be glad to cooperate with the administration in saving money," but added:
"We also want to balance the budget and make some kind of payment on the national debt."
Representative John Taber, R., N. Y., ranking member of the house appropriations committee agreed. He said congress cannot reduce the debt or balance the budget "unless we get rid of the burden of useless bureaucracy that harasses the public."
In anticipation of the foreign aid cut, the economic cooperation administration announced that it has asked Britain and other Marshall plan countries to keep their $1,000,000 in 1950's $3,776,000,000 total. That would be between $900,000,000 and $1,000,-000,000.
In addition, E.C.A. warned the recipient nations that funds will be withheld from those countries that fail to do enough to help their own economic recovery.
Today's Lecture On Art Is Canceled

Air Force Seeks Site For School
Washington, Jan. 5 — (U.P.)— Survey teams have started inspecting the first possible 26 sites for the proposed U.S. Air Force academy.
More than 150 municipalities have submitted bids for the academy site. The remaining more than 125 proposed sites will be inspected as soon as the bids have been inspected and processed, an Air Force spokesman said.
Primary surveys are being made by teams headed by either an Army engineer or an Air Force installation officer. One site eventually will be proposed to Congress after recommendations are made by a civilian architectural engineer and a special academy site selection board.
The first sites being inspected and survey dates are: Kansas—Great Bend, Friday; Hutchinson, Saturday; Salina, today; Herington, Jan. 3; Marion, today; Wichita, Friday; Arkansas City, Saturday; Topeka, today; and Fort Leavenworth, Jan. 3. Missouri —Kansas City, Friday; Weldon Springs, Saturday; Stover, today; DeSoto, Friday; and Sedalia, Jan. 3.
Dr. Baker To Plan Wyoming Field Trip
Dr. Rollin Baker, assistant professor of zoology, will fly today to Cheyenne, Wyo. to make arrangements with the Wyoming Fish and Game commission for the field work to be done by the University in Wyoming during the coming summer. Field work is carried on by the department of zoology each summer, said Dr. E. Raymond Hall, director of the Museum of Natural History.
Dr. Baker is expected to return Friday.
US Discusses Military Action To Save Formosa
Washington, Jan. 5 — (U.P.) The administration today was prepared to tell Congress that any U.S. military defense of Formosa might involve the United States in a real shooting war.
Secretary of State Dean G. Acheson defends his "hands-off" China policy before the Senate foreign relations committee next Tuesday. It was reported he is ready to strike back at critics who have demanded U.S. military action to save Formosa.
Former president Herbert Hoover and Sen. Robert A. Taft, (R., O.) are among the prominent G.O.s leaders who favor U.S. naval station if necessary to keep the island from Communist control. But Acheson was said to feel that such intervention could only force this country into war under circumstances not of its own choosing.
The State department declined to comment on the plea. But it is known that Acheson is cool toward extending any additional aid to China, despite the protests of his G.O.P. critics. Sen. William F. Knowland, (R., Calif.), believes the new Chinese request is "not excessive" and contends that U.S. aid-to-China is necessary to keep the Communists from sweeping over most of Asia.
Nationalist Ambassador Wellington Koo made a new plea for U.S. aid yesterday. Details of his request were not made public, but informed sources said his government sought about $30 million in arms aid for the defense of Formosa—
Unfreezing of $106 million in funds of the European recovery administration which have been withheld since the Communists began their sweep through China.
He has promised to take the issue to the Senate floor "again, are again and again." He told new men he wants to know why the issue is being tackled Communism in Asia but tough in Europe.
Rep. Charles A. Eaton, (R., N.J.) ranking G.O.P. member of the House foreign affairs committee, agreed with Knowland. He said he is willing to see the United States occupy Formosa if necessary to stop the Red advance.
