WASHINGTON, May 29.A government official said tonight that Japan's bomb-carrying balloons being sent against America are launched in the home islands and are controlled by an automatic ballast-dropping device. Lyle F. Watts, chief of the United States forest service, told in a radio interview prepared for the Blue network how the unmanned balloons operate. The army and navy recently disclosed that some of the balloons have landed in the western part of this country and said they had caused no property damage. Ceremonious Launching.

Watts said the balloonsmade of five layers of silk paper and 35 feet in diameterare taken to Japanese war plants where officials "make a lot of speeches, stir up workers to a frenzy and then launch the balloons from the plant for their trip to the United States." The hydrogen-filled balloons ascend to heights of 25,000 to 000 feet where they reach air currents which travel constantly from west to east, he asserted. Each time they descend to 25,000 feet from loss of gas, a barometric pressure switch automatically drops a sandbag. 'Release of this sandbag causes the balloon to rise again to about 35,000 feet. "If the Japs have figured right," Watts said, 'the last sandbag has' been dropped only after the balloon has reached this country." A second automatic switch which controls the bombs then takes over, he continued. Bombs Fired One by One.

"When the balloon drops to 000 feet a bomb is released. The balloon goes back up, then down again and another incendiary is released and so on as it travels across the United States. When the last incendiary is dropped, a fuse is ignited automatically and sets off a demolition charge which destroys the balloon." The only balloons found on the ground are defective ones failed to explode. Watts said the balloons travel up to 125 miles an hour, taking from 80 to 120 hours to reach this country. He reported that the forest service has increased its air patrol to sight as many as possible in the The only balloons found on the ground are defective ones failed to explode.

APPEAL FOR ARMS TO BATTLE FRENCH By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, May 29.The senate appropriations committee today switched the light to a brighter green for the reclamation bureau. In reporting the interior department's annual appropriation bill, the committee allowed the bureau more than the amount fixed by the house. In one of the major changes the committee approved a grant of $4,480,000 for development work in the Missouri river basin.

The house had allotted only $1,440,000 for this. The amended bill stipulated that the fund should be used in cooperation with other federal and state agencies only for detailed surveys, preparations of plans and specifications and other preliminary work on a general plan of development of the basin. Most business houses and public buildings will close for the day, although war plants will continue work as usual. banks. stock exchanges, real estate offices, freight offices, city and county offices and the postoffice will be closed, with railroad ticket offices remaining open in the morning and federal offices open all day.

LONDON, May was an unconfirmed report in diplomatic circles tonight that the governments of Syria and Lebanon are drafting a note to the United States, Britain and Russia, asking for arms to be used to defend themselves against the French if military action proves necessary. It was also reported that 15,000 men have responded to a call for military volunteers in Iraq.

Iraq is not involved in the dispute with the French but the country is a member of the Arab league which is expected to present a solid front on the Levant question when it meets June 4. Middle East circles estimate here the Arab states could put 50,000 troops in the field if necessary. The Arab league includes Egypt, Iraq, Trans-Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Lebanon. French treaty proposals, which are the cause of present disturbances in the Levant, are reported here to include placing the education system of Syria and Lebanon under French control, free entry of French goods into these countries and establishment of air and military bases. Meanwhile, In the house of commons Foreign Secretary Eden appealed to all parties involved in the dispute to "behave with caution and prudence." He said it would be inexcusable if developments in Syria and Lebanon interfered with the prosecution of the war in the Far East.

The Wolfmans, also seeking more space, moved into Mrs. Suzanne Guggenheim's seven-room suite. Mrs. Guggenheim, who wanted smaller quarters since her daughter's marriage, took over Carl Kinzler's five-room apartment.

Kinzler took over the Rosett apartment because he needed only three roomsand thus the first four-way housing "swap" on record in Manhattan became a reality. The families employed the same trucking firm and moved in shifts. "I believe it to be the first four-way exchange ever made," said Charles S. Weingart, head of the apartment locating bureau, which engineered the deal. "Apartment trading was unheard of a few years ago.

Now it's about the only way to move," he said. "A tenant just won't vacate unless he's assured another apartment.

London Daily Mail today quoted the new Earl Lloyd George as saying that his father, the former British prime minister, did not leave him "a bean in his will," because of the son's refusal to enter politics. The new earl, Maj. Richard Lloyd George, said in an interview with a Daily Mail reported: "I'm left nothing at all. My father was always very disappointed because I would not follow in his footsteps as a politician." The contents of the will of the elder Lloyd George, who died recently, have not been disclosed.

The new earl told the Daily Mail reporter that because the earldom brings no income he would return to the civil engineering profession. KIDNAPER GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE UNITED STATES THIRD ARMY, Bavaria, May 29. (iP)--Sgt. Jose M. Lopez of Brownsville, Texas, received the medal of honor today for killing dozens of Germans and enabling his company to withdraw from an apparently hopeless trap in the Ardennes campaign last winter.

Lopez was a machine gunner of the Second division's 23d regiment when he set up his weapon last December 17 in a shallow hole which afforded no protection for the upper half of his body. He killed 10 Germans immediately. An enemy tank 150 yards away started spraying machine gun bullets and 88-millimeter shells, but Lopez killed 25 more Germans following the tank. Then he played havoc with wave after wave of Germans pouring toward the company's position. A shell from the tank once landed so close that the concussion knocked him backward, blowing his gun several feet from his position.

But Lopez yanked it back and resumed fire. The sergeant poured out such a hail of bullets that ammunition bearers had to bring up box after box of cartridges to keep his machine gun fed. When the company withdrew finally Lopez carried his weapon 100 yards to the rear and fired for 10 more Minutes from another defense position until his ammunition was exhausted. Then he joined his buddies. GALE AND HAIL WREAK DAMAGE PLEASE RESIGN, PLANT REQUEST SERVICE MEN GET WL-I' .46.
