MIT Scientists Unveil Foolproof
Invention Which Can Guide Missile
To Any Specified Spot On Earth
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., UPi—Scien
tists at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) have unveiled
a heretofore secret invention
which they say can guide any
craft or missile to any specified ,
spot on earth, free from enemy
interference.
The invention, called “Inertial
Guidance,” already has flown a
B-29 bomber from Boston to Los
Angeles.
The MIT scientists said, in un
veiling Inertial Guidance that it
operates without magnetic com
pass, radio or radar and without
a glimpse of the earth, tl\e sun or
the stars. They said it needs no
electronic signal or radar beam
and therefore can’t be jammed by
enemy apparatus.
The developers explained that
Tumor Removed From
Cary Grant’s Forehead
HOLLYWOOD, U?t—Actor Cary
Grant took a brief time out from
movie making to have a small,
non-malignant tumor removed
from his forehead.
A studio physician said Grant
had the growth, a benign lipoma,
for seven years and it never
bothered him. He returned to the
studio after the operation was
performed at Cedars of Lebanon
Hospital.
ENTERTAINMENT MOGUL
KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT
LAS VEGAS, Uft—A traffic ac
cident ended the life and show
business career of Nils T. Gran
lund, 57-year-old impresario of
girl shows, radio and TV.
The man known as “N.T.G.”
for nearly 40 years among the
great and the hopeful in the en
tertainment world died in a hos
pital here yesterday.
Nanette Fabray,
Actress, to Marry
NEW YORK, tPi — Nanette
Fabray, television and stage act
ress, and Ranald MacDougall,
motion picture writer and direc
tor, obtained a marriage license
Saturday.
The actress, listed on the lic
ense as Nanette Fabares, said she
and MacDougall planned to be
married April 24.
It will be the second marriage
for both Miss Fabray, 36, of Bev
erly Hills, Calif., and MacDou
gall, 42, of Newport, Calif.
Fishin’ Is Easy
VANDALIA, lffi — Fish, some
of them measuring three ft., were
so plentiful along a nearby high
way Friday that fishermen used
nets, clubs and pitchforks tc
catch them. The fish were trapped
in low bottoms as the Kaskasku
River, which overflowed its bank;
during rainstors, crept back in
side its boundaries.
the heart of the system is a com
pletely free - floating gyroscope
sealed in a little four-inch cylin
der about the size of a tomato
can.
They added that the extremely
complicated mechanism always
remains aimed in a fixed position
in relation to the universe inde
pendent of the earth’s motion.
They said it can’t be affected
by other natural phenomena such
as weather, sunspots and mag
netic influences on polar flights.
The gyro wheel, spinning at
12,000 revolution per minute,
floats in a fluid and pivots v on
virtually frictionless sapphire
bearings. The wheel is described
as “a major break-through in the
field of gyro technology.” The
scientists indicated it might be of
very great importance in flight
through outer space.
The system is being applied to
flight and fire control as well as
navigation. The MIT scientists
have developed military applica
tions for all three uses.
Inertial Guidance resulted from
experiments begun in 1939 by Dr.
Charles S. Draper, head of the
MIT Department of Aeronautical
Engineering, who headed a group
at MIT which developed the
Mark XIV sunsight. The gun
sight, in its first battle test, de
stroyed 32 attacking Japanese
planes.
