Bernard DeVoto has capped the
completion of his trilogy on west
ern history with a new edition
of the Journals of Lewis and
Clark. He wrote his books in re
verse order as far as the chronol
ogy of the period each dealt with
is concerned. His last book, "The
Course of Empire", gathered the
threads of exploration into the
western part of the North Ameri
can continent and carried the
story through the journeys of
Lewis and Clark. The second
book, "Across -the Wide Mis
souri", treated the rough and ro
mantic period of the fur traders;
l while the first of the three which
he wrote, -"The Year of Decision,
846" was the narrative of the
coming of the settlers and the
final determination of sovereignty
on the Pacific Coast. In the
course of his research, naturally
he turned again and again to the
Journals of Lewis and Clark; and
he supplemented his reading with
extensive travel along segments
of the route of these travelers.
(Incidentally Richard and Mau
rine Neuberger traversed the
Lewis and Clark route across
Lolo Pass last summer, in prepa
ration of an article to appear
soon in the Saturday Evening
Post They found it about as
primitive as when those first
white men struggled over it).
Very few expeditions went out
under as careful instructions for
scientific observation and report
ing as the one of Lewis and Clark
from President Thomas' Jefferson
who ordered it Jefferson himself

Experimental
Plane Doubles
LOS ANGELES un The Doug
las Skyrocket research plane
smashed through to a sensational
new speed mark ,1.327 miles
an hour, twice the speed of sound
Friday.
Test pilot Scott Crossfield told
reporters Saturday be cork
screwed the Skyrocket while at
top speed, testing her strength and
power to maneuver. -
" I rolled her around 360 degrees
twice and that was about all
the maneuvers we had time for,"
he said.
The flight, high above the south
ern California desert, lasted 11
minutes from the time the tiny
Skyrocket dropped from a B29
mother plane, at 12:01 p. m., until
it glided down onto the dry lake
that is Edwards Air Force Base
The swept-wmg plane was
launched at about 32.000 feet, and
climbed to an altitude "in excess
of 60.000."
Crossfield said it burned up its
three tons of fuel liquid oxygen
and alcohol in three minutes,
at the rate of about 200 gallons a
minute.
The remainder of the flight,
back to Edwards, was an eight-
minute glide.
It showed mach 2 (twice the
speed of sound) or better on the
machometer for five or 10 sec
onds," Crossfield said.
Crossfield said he was so nerv
ous Deiorc ana during me iiigm
that he felt as though he had "the
flu and a stomach ache" together.
But as to whether he. expected
to do so well 1b the light of gusty
and apparently unfavorable flying
weather Friday, "I'm human
enough so that I thought it would
be awful damn nice to set a rec
ord."
An NACA spokesman calculated
that if the Skyrocket had had fuel
for a transconinental flight and
had maintained the 1,327-miles-an-
hour speed, it could have left New
York at 8 a. m. "Eastern Standard
Time and reached Los Angeles at
a. m. Pacific Standard Time

Ease Interzorie
Pass Policy
BERLIN Uf The Communists
announced Saturday night the lift
ing of interzonal passes required
for travel from East Germany to
the West but they said Soviet j
Zone residents still must have spe-1

across the line.
The announcement carried by
the official East German news
agency ADN said the new order,
would go into effect next Wednes
day and that special certificates
would be issued by district officers
of the People's Police.
An earlier announcement by the
East Berlin radio gave the im
pression the Reds were switching
signals completely and dropping
all requirements for interzonal
travel, as the Western Allies did
last week.
But the new order apparently
still gives the Communists tight
control over Soviet Zone German
