MORE DEADLY THAN THE ATOM BOMB

Britain Searching For Frightful War Weapon

London, June 13.

Researches into two new forms of warfare, probably more deadly than the atom bomb, are now taking place in Britain. They are the radioactive "cloud" and the bacteriological bomb.

Bacteriological research is taking place at a special station in Southern England where nearly 200 techni cians are employed.

Well-informed sources in, London, giving this in formation today,' said that the United States now has a small number of bacteriological bombs ready. These are in addition to the new type of atomic bombs in store- believed to be more than 100.*

The atomic energy plant al Chalk River, Canada, could, It is assumed, provide the deadly needed for radioactive substances "atomic cloud" warfare. These substances are available in the dis- charges from

atomic piles which for the produce the

Another source of these radione- ive substances is the British Atomic

NORTHERN IRELAND GOVT. ATTACKED

"Undemocratic Practices"

London, June 13.

An attack on the Northern Ireland Government for alleged undemocratic practices was made in the House of Commons at Westminster today during the second reading, which was given without division, of the Northern Ireland Bill.

Postpones Attempt On Record

Lake Coniston, June 13. Sir Malcolm Campbell an. nounced late today that he would send his jet-propelled boat, 'Bluebird III, back to Por chester for modifications, thus ending his present attempts to smash his own world's record.

The announcement followed two trials last night and today, in which the craft shook slightly before reach- ing the speed of 100 miles per hour. Sir Malcolm told n press con- ference he planned to return to Coniston in a month for another re- cord attempt. He said that at pre- sent the bont's lateral stability was wrong.

STILL DETERMINED

"It is a question of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics," he said. "I can apsure you I am more determined than I ever was before."

Modifications will be done ut Foster's yard in Porchester, where the craft was originally designed.

Sir Malcolm disclosed that the highest

reached In the two speed

tests was between 100 and 110 miles! per hour.

Conditions

for today's test were virtually Ideal-even better than last night when he flew at 90 m.ph. over the flat blue waters.

Bir Malcolm called a halt after quarter of mile today and inform- ed mechanic's: "I had reached near- Iy 10,000 revolutions when the shaking developed. It was so bad. that it was no use carrying on."

BOAT HAS “BUGS" He said the boat had plenty of "bugs" which needed ironing out one by one.
