WACHTINUION, Dec_ 9 —(CiPl- Friends say it's a good bet Bess Tiruman will remain beyond the gla-ro of the publicity searchiight during the next four years oi her husband's presidential life.

They any she prefers her un- complicated, behind-the-sesnes role. Unlike her famous predeces- sor. Mrs. Truman never has will- ingly accepted the fuss that the United State-s traditionally makes about its "First Lady."

Even in Washington. people lmow much less about her than they did about Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt at. the same stage of the late President Roosevelt's reign in the White House.

Her father died when she was a ymmg girl. She grew up in a large, comfortable house with her mother and three brothers. A constant companion of the three

boys, she naturally acquired a lrnasculine type of independent thought. friends say.

For some time after aha and Harry Truman were married in i919, they lived with his mother. keeping to the family circle.

President's Greatest Help

Throughout the President's political life, his wife has been his greatest help But even when he won the Democratic presi- dential nominatlon lhls year. one showed no great desire to con- tinue as first lady. Friendly. but reserved and a bit shy. she, did no active, campaigning.

She hits consistently‘ left to her husband the business of speechmakmg, press conferences and policy statements

The Truman family still is a close one. Except on very formal occasions. Mrs. Truman refers to the president as "Harry" or "my

husband." ‘He is often heard to call her “lifoiher" and their daughter. Margaret. "Baby." To

Margaret, the President is "Pops."

Mrs. Truman is five feet. four inches tall. weighs 130 pounds -— and worries about the poundage.

What dues the President think? The man who carried her books when they were schoolchildren in independence said at the Demo- cratic national convention four years ago:

“She lt-oks just like a woman ought in lohk who has been mar- ried 25 years."

Large Deposits 0f Lead Reported In Greenland

fly Charles Oroot)

KIPENHAGHT. Deo. I —(R0u- ters) —- Little-known Greenland. Denmark's Arctic colony and at present n heavy drain on Danish tax-payers. promises to become the centre of important new industries following discovery there of "signi- ficant quantlties" of lead.

The discovery was made last summer by Dr. Lauge Koch, a lend- ing Danish scientist. He estimates the deposits amount to at least 1,- 000,000 tona and says that they are near the surface and therefore easy to mine. r

At current world prices. these deposits would be worth about 5280000000. Large scale production would mean a considerable saving of foreign currency to Denmark. which imports some 7.000 tona oi lead every year to meet her domes- tic requirements.

But. even more important is the fact that the ivnrld‘: present known supply of lead ls believed to be suf- ficient for only another 20 years.

If this belle! proves to he cor- rect. and if Koch's estimate of the quantity present ln Greenland la justified. Denmark may become the world's main exporter of lead.

A provisional sum of 5100.030 has been allocated to finance an ex- pedition to Greenland next year to conduct further investigations.

The samples Koch brought back have been examined and found to contain 80 per cent of lead. some sulphur and some silver. There is no doubt the lead ls of first-class quality. -

The Danish Government has re- solved not to allow foreign inter- ests to have any part in the ex- ploitation of the deposits.

It is not expected that the first lead will be mined until the sum- mer of 1050. if experimental min- lngs prove successful it is hoped to go into large-scale production the following year.

An even more important discov- cry is awaiting ftirlhcr check, how- ever. Koch. on his return to Copen- hagen. reported that he had found cvidcnce of uranium deposits in Greenland.

ll. S. Army Pilots Fly Horizontally In New Cockpit:

By Jame; J. Strebig

DAYTON. 0.. Dec. 9 —' (AP) — United Slates Air Force pilots may soon lie down on the job.

They've been sitting at their work since the government bought, its first airplane in i909. Pilots nave actually abandoned planes, m flight because oi the agony of‘ uncomfortable scats on long “mis- sions.

Fast jet warplanes, with their slim silhouettes. call for cockpit changes. The aero medical labor- RYOTY of the Air Materiel Com- lnand at Wright Field has come upj wlth an answer-the prone posit- ion bed for pilots. ‘

One aim is to eliminate the! dlrag-tgroducing cockpit. canopy l The other is to help the pllftf‘ withstand the great forces exerted in high speed turns without “black- ing out.“

After extensive tests a prone i position pilot bed has been in- l mailed in the nose of a B-i’! ‘

Flying Fortress. Au observer sits. beside the tcst sithject and a safety‘, pilot in the regular cockpit. Eighteen persons. including 10 pilots, each spent eight conse- cutive hours on the bed without serious discomfort. Two men later made 12-hour tests. l Further testing is planned in the | forward part of a TF-80 Shootingl Star. a two-place jet trainer. Thef rear seat would be occupied by n! safely pilot. 3 The biggest problem in a prone~ position cockpit are comfort. vis-I ibility and control. The bed designed at. Wrightl Field is the work of a small group . in the Anthropometric lmeanlng liody measurements and movementl Unit under H. T. E. Hertzberg.

NYLON NET

In general the bed consists of n nylon net suspended over a frame with sides curved to approximate the contours of the pilot's body. The position is much like that of Ii person on his knees and elbows with his toes slightly off the floor. The pilot's head weight i; carried on two chin pads of foam rubber covered with chamois leather. His arms rest on foam rubbers pads in two metal pans, at the ends of which are pistol grips and levers for flight and power controls. The themselves are the naajor flight controls and mova in all directions. The pilot's feet rest against pedals to operate either brakes or rudder.

Hera are some of the problems still getting attention: clothing must be redesigned to eliminate pockets. seams and buttons from the front and reduce irritation; parachute harness must. be arran- ged so that pilots will not lie on the straps. The’ parachute cannot be worn in flight - an arrange- ment to hang it nearby must be developed; a "capsule cockpit." in which the entire unit is thrown clear and a bottom exit through which the pilot. can be ejected for purpose of escape. is being discus- sed.

Hold-down harness to protect the pilot against sudden jolts is rs- quired.

The study of prone position was revived in the middle 1030's by the Germans. The Royal Air Force. the U. B. Navy and eventually the U. B. Air Force ran prone pos- ition tests. Pilots rejected the idea in all cases because oi discomfort.

There will be no extra fats, no increase in the fresh meal. ration and fewer turkeys because. as Food Minister John Strachey said. “we cannot afford to import turkeys from the Argentine."

Btrachey said turkey would be lower about 10.500 ions compared with 11.000 last year —but imports of other pflttl- try had been increased from 5,000 to 8,000 tens He also told hOUsE- Wives they could expect. "more and better" Christmas puddings.
