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.
