AFGE to Concentrate
On Veterans in 1947
Membership Drive
By Joseph Young
Stor Staff Corr»spor»d»rt
ST PAUL Minn.. Sept 20— An
extensive organizing drive to enroll
thousands of new members during
the next tear particularly ex-GIs
in the Federal service, was an
nounced today by James B Burns,
president of the American Federa
tion of Government Employes.
Mr. Burns made his statement at
a meeting of the AFGE Executive
Council which met here today fol
lowing the conclusion of the union's
national convention last night.
AFGE officials are well aware that
the percentage of veterans in Gov
ernment jobs i.s ocnstantly increas
ing and the union leaders also have
been informed by top Federal
officials that eventually 90 per rent
of all men in Government will be
ex-GIs.
With this in mind. Mr. Burns de
clared that "the progressive, mili
tant program of the AFGE offers
veterans the best opportunity to
better their lot in Government."
Heartened By Green s Pledge.
As the delegates wended their
way homeward, Mr. Burns and Ber
niece Heffner, secretary-treasurer,
expressed the belief that this con
vention has been the most success
ful in the union's history.
AFGE leaders were heartened by
the pledge of AFL President William
Green that the AFL will throw its
resources and facilities behind the
union in the AFGE's organization
drive.
The convention late yesterday
adopted as its two major legislative
goals during 1947. wage increases
for Federal employes to offset ris
ing li\ing costs, and unemployment
compensation benefits to aid the
thousands of Government workers
being dismissed from their jobs dur
ing the current reduction-in-force
campaign
Other important resolutions
adopted bv the convention during
its four-day session included:
1. Reiteration of its no-strike
policy.
2. Optional retirement after 30
years' service.
3. A Federal cleanup of all Com
munists and other subversives in the
Government.
4 Lifting of the present $10,000
Federal pay ceiling to a $15,000
maximum
5. Removal of income tax from
all retirement annuities.
Explains Mage Stand.
In asking for general wage in
creases. the AFGE declared that it
"was imperative" that Federal
workers be granted "a decent living
wage" in the lace of sharply rising
living costs.
Thp AFGE voted to hold its next
convention in Atlanta, Ga.
Mr. Burns and Mrs. Heffner were
re-elected for two-year terms to
their respective offices.
Vice presidents elected were: John

Force Which Makes Atom Seem
Feeble Found at 100,000 Feet
Cosmic ray showers, containing
tremendously greater energy than
can be produced by atom-smashing,
are 300 times more numerous in the;
upper atmosphere than at ground j
level, according to data recorded;
by instruments of the Silver Spring;
Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns
Hopkins University.
The apparatus, built by the Wil
mette Manufacturing Co. 1713
Kalorama road N.W., was contained
in the warhead of a captured Ger-,
man V-2 rocket launched to a rec
ord-breaking 100-mile altitude re
cently at White Sands, N. Mex.
Tire findings were reported yes
terday by Dr. J. A Van Allen, super
visor of the laboratory's long-range
program of high altitude research,
at a special session of the American
Physical Society in New York.

hopes through its studies to obtain
a new and clearer understanding of
nuclear forces. Dr. Van Allen said
peak concentration of the secondary
particles or mesotrons generated by
cosmic rays was found at 100.000
feet, with the frequency decreasing
at higher and lower altitudes.
He added that the energy of cos
mic ray particles is millions of
times greater than that which can
be produced by nuclear fission.
Most of the rays reaching the earth,
he said, consist of only one particle.
In the experiment, the cosmic
ray showers were picked up and
counted by two specially designed
telescopes looking out of small doors
on either side of the wrarhead, Dr.
Van Allen explained.
Signals emitted by the telescopes
were marked on steel cylinders
within the warhead and at the
same time transmitted by radio to
receiving stations on the ground.
Dr Van Allen said the laboratory
would continue its cosmic ray ex
periments with a missile to be
launched October 24.
During the war, the laboratory
was largely responsible for the de
velopment of the proximity fuse
and two new Navy gun directors.
It is now' engaged in research in the
field of guided missiles under con
tract with the Navy Bureau of
Ordnance.
