BISHOP

DIES IN

PRISON

Vatienn City, July 17. Vatican Radio

an- today nounced that Monsignor Rasil Aftere, 51, auxiliary bishop of All Julia, Rumania, had died in prison, "a martyr' of Faith." The death was reported to the Sacred Congregation of Oriental was communicated Mites privately to the Vatican.

Although many details are still shrouded in close secrecy, military leaders have indicated that in the foreseeable future the United States arsenal. will include such weapons as guided missiles carry- ing "baby" atom bombs, radio-active artillery shells, paralysing new "nerve" gases and revolu- tionary anti-tank weapons.

Military experts are predicting that when some of the new weapons reach the production the heavy stage --- at least several years away tank will be obsolete for blitzkrieg tactics and steam-roller movements of huge land armies will be a thing of the past,

Since the secret of Germany's flying V-bombs fell into the hands of the Allied forces during the war, United States scientists have been conducting top-secret research into ways and means of iniproving the range, control and explosive effects of these supersonic-speed weapons.

ATOMIC DOODLEBUGS

This research, second only to ntomic research in scope and secrecy, is given added importance by the decision of the scientists that it would be possible to fit atomic bomb war-hends on such missiles, and guide them to distant targets.

The progress being made in this field is encouraging the belief that some time in the future, radar-guided flying bombs, which can blast targets with. pin-point accuracy many thousands of miles away, will replace conventional artillery and bombing planes in any atomic warfare.

But all the experts are small spot on the tank and per- of "astonish- agreed that even if a world mits penetration

It is becoming clearer every day that Russia does not think now is the time and Korea the place. But Josef Stalin and the men round him are walking warily lest they make a move that would light the flames of a conflagration that would en- gulf the world.
