Plane Weight Pierces Roof,
2 Floors, Causes Bomb Scare
...... ..
Stephen Moriarty, manager of the E. Morrison Papar Co.,
points to the pear-shaped, 3-inch-wide steel tail balance which
dropped from a plane in flight and went through the roof and
two floors of his building. —Star Staff Photo.
Employe* of the E. Morrison
Paper Co., 1000 block of Pennsyl
vania avenue N.W., had a war
scare yesterday.
For a few hours, they thought
they had a bomb dropped on them.
The fact that it appeared to be a
"dud” didn’t ease their tension very
much. Even duds can fool you, they |
reasoned.
The fuss began when F. M. Mo
riarty, secretary-treasurer of the
firm, went up to a third-floor stock
room at about 2 p.m. yesterday and
discovered rain had come in early ,
that morning through a three-inch!
hole in the ceiling. A check re
vealed another three-inch hole in
the fourth-floor ceiling and in the
roof.
A probe into an air space be
tween the third-floor ceiling and
the fourth floor dislodged a three
inch-wide, pear-shaped, heavy steel
object resembling a small unex
ploded bomb.
It apparently had been dropped
from a plane in flight some time
after Saturday, when a porter
cleaned up the room. It had plunged
through the brick roof and the at
tic floor, ripping through a solid
bundle of cardboard mailing tubes
in its drop. It was stopped finally
by the joist in the third-floor ceil
ing.
Walter L. Mess, insurance firm
investigator, later identified the ob
ject as a solid steel tail balance
used in the retractable tail wheel
of a fighter plane. It weighed only
2?* pounds, but when disengaged
from its cable at an altitude of
1,000 to 2,000 feet, it would land
with a force equivalent to at least
100 times its weight, Mr. Mess
said.
Sergt. S. R. McKee, police de
partment ordnance technician, said
police already have about half a
dozen of the weights, which have
landed on sidewalks.
“Nobody's ever been hurt,” he
added.

This is the one, of course, that you spot
at a glance.
This is the one that sends a string of facts
racing through your mind — if you know
automobiles—the instant you see the name
Roadmaster spelled out on its fender.
Up to one hundred and fifty Fireball
horsepower. Eighteen feet big-and
spring-colt lively.
Gorgeously finished. Coil-spring cradled
on all four wheels. Shod with oversize
tires that take extra low pressures for
added comfort.
Convenient too - with push-button con
trols not only for the top, but for door
windows and the front-seat adjustment as
well.
This, too, is the only passenger car
in this country where the power
plant does what gears used to do.
Here’s the one place you’ll find
Dynaflow Drive,♦ in which liquid
replaces not only the clutch and
manually operated low, second and
Tun* in HENRY J. TAYLOR, Mutual N»twork, Mondoyi and Friday•
jar*
high, but mechanical gear-changers as
\yell.
In short — here’s liquid ease and smooth
ness in delightful new degree, through a
sort of “magic muscle” that lets you forget
about gear-changing practically entirely.
No wonder, then, this car is looked up to.
Looked up to for impressive appearance
— looked up to for superlative ability.
Looked up to for what’s newest in engi
neering advances.
If your standards call for a real performer
-and for quality a cut above the ordi
narily good —specify Roadmaster when
you see your dealer (with or without a car
to trade) about getting an order in.
