I t The Staltman. Salem. Ofqon, Sandfly. tratojet Tested with Bieger es MOSES LAKE, Wash, Oct 8-Vp)-Thm Boeing XB-47 stratojet bomber, which can attaints speed of at least 600 miles per hour, made its tint test flight today with new set of more powerful eng . ine.- "t ' The air force said the six new General Electric J-47 turbo-jet engines give the plane 23 per cent more power than those used when it made a record three-hour 48- minute transcontinental flight last January, j " "With. the new engines, the air force said, the bomber has a power potential of 1 more than 49,200 pounds of thrust with rocket as aists. At the controls of the bomber on the 17 minute test flight were John B. Fornasero, Chief of Boe ing's test section, and A. M. Tex' Johnston, also of Boeing. A B-47 holds the bomber speed record, with a cross-country flight from Moses !, Lake to Andrews Base, Md., at an average 807 miles i an hour. This flight, last January, ! was made with the lower powered ' J-3S engines. : The older type engine is rated t 1,000 pound thrust, the J-47 at "more than 9,200 pounds" which presumably would give the ship ven higher speed. The produc tion model B-47S now being built at the- Wichita, Kans.. plant of ' Boeing will be powered with the new jet plants, the air force said. ri l i Lt Barclay to Acta to Geiu Maison I First Lt.

Oct 8 UJPI Defense north of Canton -were melting away today before the communist advance, but the reds appeared to be concentrating ' on pursuit or the nationalist army ratner than quick capture of this capital. Practically the whole 190-mile stretch of the Cantos railway from Hengyang to Yingtak, only 73 miles , north of this doomed city, was either- In red hands or had been abandoned. Gen. Pal Chung-Hsi. whose 200,- OOO-man defense force is the best nationalist army left on the main land, was continuing his rapid withdrawal. He was moving southwest from Hengyang toward his native Kwangsi province, rather than south towards Can ton. To Move Headquarters Nationalist .press reports said Pal had decided to shift his head quarters to Kweilin, capital of Kwangsi. This is 200 miles south west of Hengyang, which was his headquarters only two days ago. Pais troops were said to have fought a holding action on his western flank to permit a smooth withdrawal. xviost nationalist opinion was that Lin Piao. red general con fronting Pal, would continue the pursuit, leaving a Slower frontal drive fOn Canton to communist forces of Gen. Chen Keng. Started Offensive . (This view was supported by a communist broadcast, heard : in San Francisco by the Associated Press. It declared that Lin had begun his big offensive October 4 and had already reached Yung sin, 25 milts southwest of Heiig yang.) Private reports said the reds had not yet entered Yengyang but were in the eastern suburbs, These reports said the retreating nationalists had1 blown up the Yengyang railway station and big bridge over the Lei river. ; BETHEL MAN RECOVERLNQ BETHEL r- J.

Judge Discounts Connection wth Talk of a Urge-scale damage suit against the builders of (he Willamette river ; bridge at Independence for failure to complete the span in the contracted time was discounted Saturday by Marion Coun ty Judge Grant Murphy. "I feel that the delay on the bridge is caused by lack of steel and is unavoidable," said the Judge. "Of course, later on, we may open negotiations with the construction company for reimbursement for running the ferry there longer than planned." The Macco Construction com pany had contracted to complete the bridge by December 31. Con struction has been halted for the past several months and is not ex pected -to resume until after the first of the year. The company blames a lack of steel. Rumblings have come recently from the Polk county court and Independence Chamber of Com merce over the delay. Polk County Judge D. F. Hayes of Dallas said that operation of the ferry at the bridge site costs Marion and Polk county about $7,000 per year. "Even if. steel were available now," said Judge Murphy, it would be unwise to erect the bridge when you set your nev; ifl!

England May Recognize Chinese Reds LONDON, Oct. 8-CflVA well In formed commonwealth diplomat said Friday Britain will recognize the newly proclaimed Chinese communist regime. India will too, he said, probably ahead of Britain. At the moment two things are holding up this move, he said. First is Britain's obligation to consult her 11 Atlantic pact and six commonwealth partners. She has begun to do so. The other is Britain's desire to bind 'the communists to respect certain of the Nationalist govern ment's International commitments and to allow British traders to carry on business. British officials reported the cabinet will face the issue when it meets Thursday. The commonwealth diplomat said the fact that Britain and In dia are planning recognition may be taken to mean that other com monwealth governments such as Australia, New Zealand and Cey lon favor it too.
