or anyone else did for the returned
soldier, he emphasized, the sol
dler himself "by working for the
nation in times of peace as you
did so nobly in time of war will
be doing the best for our coun
try."
In Good Hands
"With the future of America In
hands of men like you I am con
tent, because you are the leaders,"
he continued.
"All the world listens to the
voice of sacrifice. There is a dig'
nity in sacrifice that is never for
gotten, when you open your
mouths people will listen. What
you say is important to them. And
so, be leaders in peace as well as
in war so the gratitude of the na
tion can be heaped on you in the
future as well as in the past."
The general's address to the
veterans was given in the hos
pital's Red Cross hall where al
most 1,000 ambulatory patients
had gathered to welcome him. It
was broadcast also through wards
where the general earlier visited
patients who could not leave their

Every Saturday Afternoon
At 2 P.M.
By DAVID A. STEIN
NEW YORK (NEA) A new
sky fighter with the power of a
B-29 Superfortress and the speed
of the P-80 Shooting Star was
announced by the Army Air
Forces today. The XP-81, first
plane ever to fly with a gas tur
bine designed for propeller drive,
is the most powerful fighter plane
in the world.
The gas turbine in the nose and
the jet engine between the cock
pit and tail of the plane can pro
duce virtually as much power as
all four reciprocating engines of
the B-29. The small bullet-like
fighter can slash through the air
at speeds exceeding 500 miles an
hour.
Observers who watched first
tests of the XP-81 at an Army Air
Force base in California foresee
far-reaching advances in civilian
aviation as a result of the fighter's
development. They predict that
within five years cargo and trans
port planes with similar power
units will be used for speedier,
more economical air transportation.

State Health Board
Tells Diphtheria Rise
PORTLAND (P) Only one
disease diphtheria increased
sharply in Oregon last year, the
State Board ot Health reported
today.
The diphtheria rise from 173 to
253 cases was attributed by Dr.
Harold M. Erickson, state health
officer, to a wartime decrease in
immunization, and incoming resi
dents from non-immunized areas.
Tropical diseases have proved
no hazard in Oregon's temperate
climate, the board reported, al
though returning veterans may
carry malaria and dysentery.
Measles topped the disease ros
ter during the past week, with 144
cases almost three . times the
total during the corresponding
week last year.
Bids Received On New
1000-Gallon Fire Truck
City Manager Deane Seeger
said Wednesday three bids on a
1000-gallon pumper to be bought
by the Eugene Fire Department
have been opened and offer
vehicles ranging in price from
$12,000 to $14,000.
Offerings of three companies
are being studied by the fire de
partment prior to selection of the
preferred bid, which will be
recommended for acceptance at
the next regular council meeting
marcn u.
The use of pigeons as messen
gers goes back to 3500 B.C.
made in 5 to 8 hours, they pre
dict. The propeller drive gas tur
bine, known as the PE Propjet,
provides long range operating
economy, using less fuel than a
pure jet engine.
Use of a propeller provides for
better control, thus insuring
greater safety. It is an important
factor, also, in providing greater
range and flight economy.
The 1-40 - GE Jet engine used
in the XP-81 is the same power
unit which has enabled the Shoot
ing Star to shatter speed records.
When both the jet engine and the
gas turbine are used together, the
plane shoots forward in a tre
mendous burst of speed. The jet
is primarily an auxiliary engine.
It functions best in the strato
sphere, while the Propjet is best
for sub-stratosphere flights.
Advantages of the XP-81, the
Army Air Force reports, include
maximum performance from tree
top level to sub-stratosphere, sus
tained high speed superb ma
neuverability, long range, ex
tremely sharp angle of climb,
quick take-off, and a minimum of
vibration.
In cargo and transport planes
of the day after tomorrow, both
gas turbine and jet power will be
used in take-offs. Both are start
ed in 30 seconds and neither re
quires a warm-up. With both
propeller and jet thrust, the plane
will take-off at incredible speed.
Propjet For Range
Once the plane is in the air,
only the Propjet will be used for
cruising. The gas turbine per
forms best and most economically
while maintaining high speed for
sustained periods, thus giving the
craft longer range.
The Fropiet also pressurizes the
cabin. Air is siphoned from the
axial flow conpressor, and at high
altitudes the engine heats the air
that flows into the cabin;'
Both engines burn the same
fuel, usually kerosene. Since the
Propjet is more economical in fuel
consumption it is one of the fac
tors in the long range attainable
when the plane is cruising swiftly
with the propeller gas turbine
alone.
The XP-81, designed and pro
duced by Consolidated Vultee un
der war-time pressure, is a single-
place monoplane. Weighing only
22,000 pounds, it has a wing span
of 50 feet, six inches and is 44
feet, 8 inches long.

Notre Dame Student Resumes
Work After Vision Broken
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (U.PJ An
ex-GI came back to earth today
and resumed classes at Notre
Dame university, his vision of be
ing a millionaire broken and the
whole thing termed a joke on
him.
Jack E. Love, 22-year-old vet
eran, said he didn't get that
$1,000,000 from a rich uncle, after
all. The uncle still was pretty
much alive, he admitted after a
conference with university of
ficials. So, he said, he would have to
go back to his classes, still de
pendent upon his allotment under
the GI bill of rights.
Love told Notre Dame officials
some prankster must have sent
him the letter which said his
great-uncle, Claud Logan, of Liv
ingston, Mont, had died and left
him a fortune.
Didn't Explain
"I even thought it was all a joke
when I gave out the story Mon
day," Love told the college offi
cials. But he -didn't. explain why
some of his early statements failed
to jibe with details he gave later.
He said he didn't know why "I
gave a mistaken impression about
my war record." He had said he
was a lieutenant; his draft board
said he was discharged as a
corporal.
University officials said Love
would be allowed to go back to his
classes without any disciplinary
action.
Love had disappeared for two
days after he had related the story
that his great-uncle had died,
leaving him an estate valued at
somewhere between $1,000,000 and
$1,500,000. Shortly before the ex
GI dropped from sight, his father,
Jack O. Love, a Hagerstown, Md.,
attorney, said the great-uncle ap
parently was still alive and
"somebody is ribbing somebody."
Yesterday, the elder Love said
he had received a letter from a
New York attorney, similar to the
one the veteran said he had re
ceived, reporting the death of
Logan. The letter had no return
address, the father said, and re
ported only that Logan had
drowned Jan. 10 while on a boat
trip from Astoria to Tillamook,
Ore. However, a check of Oregon
records did not reveal the death
of a Claude Logan.
YW Officials To Attend
National Convention
Mrs. C. A. Barnes, treasurer of
the city YWCA and a member of
the national board of the YWCA
and Mrs. Helene Hoffman, execu
tive director of the local associa
tion, will leave Feb. 27 for At
lantic City, N.J., to represent Eu
gene at the 17th national conven
tion of the "Y" which will open
on March 2 and continue through
March 8. Mrs. Barnes is a dele
gate of the national board and
Mrs. Hoffman of the local asso
ciation.
More than 3000 delegates will
attend the meetings, with repre
sentatives from 1(J foreign coun
tries expected.
Vanport Eyed
As School Site
PORTLAND, Feb. 21 (U.R)
Possibility that the state may use
Vanport as a location for expand
ed extension course offerings or
even' a junior college this summer
was seen here today in the consid
erations of the Oregon State Sys
tem of Higher Education.
Although attention has been
focused on the possibility of oper
ating the $6,500,000 Marine bar
racks at Klamath Falls as a lower
division college, surveys already
are in progress regarding the pos
sible use of Vanport, both as a
physical plant and housing.
It was indicated no action would
be taken if the preliminary study
of Vanport facilities until the
board completes inspection of the
Klamath Falls layout this Satur
day. (Information on the Vanport
plan was carried in the Register
Guard on Feb. 14).
