Australians Build Robot War Missiles Coins Discovered in Palestine
Tell Story of Lost Civilization
SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 15—(U.R)
—Australia is building radar-con-
trolled, pilotless jet aircraft said to
be capable of delivering small atomic
bombs on long-range targets.
The prototype of the aircraft has
been flown successfully and more
are being produced at the Austral-
ian government's aircraft factory in
Melbourne.
The aircraft have been built to
British ministry of. supply specifi-
cations and it is expected that the
first batch to be produced in quan-
tity will be delivered to Britain.
The pilotless planes are reported
far in advance of those being used
in Korea from U. S. aircraft car-
riers.
(Obsolescent radar - controlled
Grumman Hellcats inaugurated
‘‘push button" warfare by their de-
struction of Communist targets in
North Korea.
Produced In Desert
For more than a year before the
Hellcat raids in Korea, the British
government co-operated with the
Australian government in the pro-
duction and testing of guided mis-
siles at the Woomera rocket range
in the stony heart of Australia.
Enveloped in secrecy, nothing of
the work of the two governments at
Woomera was known until the re-
lease of modest details of the pilot-
less craft.
It can be used either as a target
or bombing plane.
The aircraft is fitted with a pow-
erful Adder turbo-jet engine spe-
cially designed and manufactured by
the Armstrong-Siddely company of
Great Britain.
Although the engine is only 27
inches in diameter, it produces ter-
rific thrust, giving the aircraft a
fast rate of climb and high speed
at great altitudes.
Only 22 Feet Long
The government aircraft factory
and Australian radio manufacturers
have developed special mobile
launching gear and telemetering
equipment for handling the plane.
The aircraft's fuselage is only 22
feet long and its wingspan is 20 feet.
Its performance details have not been
revealed but it can easily outrange
the 150 miles flown by the robot
Hellcats.
The rapid development of a fleet
of the pilotless Jets is expected to
result from the recent visit to Aus-
tralia of Sir Harry Garner and Sir
Alec Coryton, of the British ministry
of supply and Dr. L. W. J. Newman,
chief engineer of thet Armstrong-
Whitworth Aircraft company of
England.
The designers of the Australian-
made robot Jet believe it is the fore-
runner of fleets of pilotless planes
capable of wiping out enemy indus-
trial complexes and invasion fleets.
They also believe it could be used
tactically.

TOO RATFROOF
DETROIT —(U.R)— The health de-
partment brought Mrs. Mary Wing-
field into court for ratproofing her
house in such a way that the rats
already inside couldn’t get out.
AQABA. THE RED SEA, Nov. 15
—(U.R)—A sign of the times in the
Holy Land is that for every Israel
or Jordan coin of present day mint-
age, there is at least one ancient
coin of greater value.
At any rate Israel, which now suf-
fers from a shortage of hard cur-
rency, knew of no such difficulties
in olden times. International arche-
ologists have managed to collect
coins minted by 25 cities in the
promised Land.
The coins extend over a period of
about 600 years—from 300 BC to
300 AD. Many were in use during
the early Christian period and it is
not unlikely that some found in the
Jerusalem area may have been in
the possession of the Savior’s fol-
lowers.
Goddesses Portrayed
Most of the coins bear the por-
trait of either the Hellenistic or Ro-
man ruler of the country. Another
favorite imprint was the city's god-
dess. Male gods did not figure much
as decorations for coinage in this
country. In many instances, such
coins bear a complete figure of the
goddess as she held a cornucopia in
her hand.
When only the head of the young
lady appears—goddesses are always
young—it is usually surmounted by
the city’s walls crowning her tresses.
The use of coins as an advertis-
ing medium to tout a roller skating
rink or the corner drug store’s soda
fountain may have had its origins
in Tiberias of all places — famous
since ancient times for its mineral
springs.
Two-thousand-year-old coins from
Tiberias bear the figure of Hygeia,
the goddess of health, over a rock
from which a stream of water is
spouting forth. In her hand she
holds a snake symbolizing her fa-
ther, Aesculapius, the god of medi-
cine.
As far as archeological discoveries
are concerned, Israel is a country
with a wealth the surface of which
has barely been scratched.
Story is There
Professor Nelson Glueck, world
famous archeologist who served for
twenty years as the director of the
American School for Oriental Re-
search in Jerusalem, told the Unit-
ed Press that “the history of the de-
velopment of mankind as such from
the earliest times to the present day
can be traced better in Israel and
Jordan than anywhere else in the
world—there are no gaps."
Explaining his theory Professor
Glueck pointed out that here dis-
coveries resemble the rungs in a
ladder. The farther back we go, the
farther apart they are, but they are
there nevertheless, and the same
ladder reaches scores of thousands
of years into the past.
Professor Glueck, who know the
area between the Dead and the Red
Seas better than any man alive, was
responsible for the discovery of King
Solomon’s copper mines.
A firm believer in the accuracy
of historical sources mentioned in
the Bible, Professor Glueck said he
has not yet found anything to re-
fute that conviction. He pointed out
that had it not been for this belief
he would have been unable to dis-
cover Solomon's mines and slag
heaps at Ezion Gever, near the Red
Sea at the Gulf of Aqaba. He looked
for copper mines in the region be-
cause Deuteronomy 8 and 9 says “a
land whose stones are iron and out
of whose hills thou mayest dig cop-
per.”
Drivers Pay $100
In Traffic Cases
Three drivers have paid fines to-
taling $70, and costs amounting to
$30, in justice of peace courts here

highway patrol troopers.

homa City, charged in a complaint
by Trooper Earl Janssen with
speeding on SH 3, about 10 miles
south of Okarche on Nov. 9. was
fined $10 and $10 costs Friday by
W. P. Crites, justice of the peace.
In another case before Justice
Crites, Willard Bryan Wilson, Ok-
lahoma City, accused in a complaint
by Trooper Cecil Fishburn of driv-
ing an over-length truck Nov. 9 on
U. S. 81. south of Union City, was
fined $50 and $10 costs. Co-
defendant was the Hoot Gibson
Trucking company.
James Robert McGowan, Fort
Smith, Ark., was fined $10 and $10
costs by William H. Gilbert, justice
of the peace, on a charge of speed-
ing on U. S. 66, eight miles west of
El Reno, on Nov. 13. Complaint
was made by Trooper Fred Barnes.
