Dr. E. Francis Warren, of Harvard U., believes he will be able to "shoot down" the heaviest clouds and fog by his new invention demonstrated recently at Bolling Field, Wash., by Army fliers.

"Here's where your parachute came from," Deena Clark, civilian defense volunteer tells Technical Sergeant Leo Matkins of the Army Air Corps.
