GERMAN SECRET WEAPONS
SPID-R TORPEDO ON WIRE Washington, Aug. 28. The Navy Secretary, Mr Forrestal, stated that the Germans had nearly perfected a submarine which could stay under water indefinitely and a spider torpedo which was guided to a target by a thin wire. It was possible by sending impulses over the wire to change the spider’s course and depth and make it jump out of the water like a porpoise. The Germans were far ahead of the Allies in experiments with sneeds faster than sound and six months late in the development and mass production o f new weapons. PROPELLANT FOR V-BOMBS The Germans used hydrogen peroxide as a propellant for V-boiqbs, obtaining surprisingly good results, added Mr Forrestal.
