2 ThNtwi-Rvlew, Hoieburfl, Ort. Tuti., July 15, 1952 Skyrocket Plane Faster Than Sound MOFFETT FIKLD, Calif. W An apparently inadvertent disclos ure that the Skyrocket research airplane has flown twice the speed of aound was confirmed here Tues day. ' It also was indicated thai the sky . rocket carries refrigeration equip ment enough to cool a theater of 3,000 feats. This would be necessary in an airplane flying more than 1,300 miles an hour in order to keep the pilot from being roasted alive, and to keep the airplane metal from turning soft. The Navy has announced of ficially only that Douglas Test Pilot Bill Bridgcman flew its D558 II Skyrocket faster and higher than any other piloted aircralt has travelled. The details were kept secret. The new world speed and altitude records were set over the Moiave desert near Edwards Air Force ' Base, Calif., last August. - . On Barrier Remains The altitude mark "more than 79,000 feet" was in an article in the aviation trade magazine Peg asus a month ago. The Skyrocket was launched from a B-29 mother ship, at about 30,000 feet, for the start of its record-shattering flight. It has a turbo-jet engine with a rocket engine for the additional thrust to move into supersonic flight and has wings swept back 3 degrees. At the laboratory inspection here Tuesday, NACA officials declared that aerodynamic heating, result ing from friction of air on planes travelling at supersonic spard, is the "next big barrier" which avia tion must overcome, now that the once-feared "sonic wall" the sup. posed air block at the speed of sound has been hurdled.

'Quo Vadis' Is Master Movie Tonight Is the last offering of Metro-GoldwynMayer's roadshow spectacle, "Quo Vadis," playing to capacity audiences at the Indian Theatre since Sunday. One of the most stupendous un dertakings ever produced by the film industry, it is the gripping story of the reign of Nero, the Roman ruler, famous for fiddling while Rome burned. It is the story of the spread of Christianity, and the obstacles it met, the per secutions under Nero, and its fi nal recognition and acceptance un der a new ruler. , Filmed in typical Hollywood style, the picture has all the thrills, mystery, intrigue, uumor of a modern day thriller. The story, nevertheless. Is gripping in its historical significance in a day, when the very root of Christian ity is now being threatened by idealogies which, like Nero, would destroy anything that stood in its path of success.
