Admiral Bloch Aims at Peace as War Fears Ease
In a feature on naval leadership, Admiral Claude C Bloch, age 60, heads a fleet of about 300 ships with 60 000 officers and men and nearly 1000 planes.

It also covers Dr Robert A Millikans warning that fear of bombing helped avert another war and his belief that science will drive peace and jobs while demagogues threaten civilization.
