Super-Fortress
Details Given
Chicago. Jan. 21' UDetails of
the new Boeing B-29 Buper-fort-ross,
which packs a bomb load of
nearly nine tons for a 1000 mile
flight, were revealed oublicly for
the first time in a British avia
tion magazine, couples of which
were received by the Chicago
Sun.
Described by Gen. H. H. Arn
old, commanding the army air
forces, as a great improvement
over present Flying Fortress and
Liberator bombers, the B-29
mounts six gun posts, two of
them operated by remote con
trol.
Has Chin Turret
The super-fort carries a "chin"
turret, as was recently mounted
on the B-17G, most recent of the
regular fortress line, and dorsal,
ball and tall turrets. The two
"waist" turrets, located on the
sides of the planes and formerly
manned Dy waist gunner3, are
operated by remote control in the
new model. Whether the new
type guns would reduce the size
of the regular 10 man fortress
crew, and who would fire the
waist guns was not revealed.
According to the British maga
zine "Flight." the bomb load of
the B-29 is from 16,500 to 17,000
pounds for a 1000 mile range, or
6000 pounds for a 3000 mile trip.
Both loads exceed the present ca
pacity of the B-17G for the same
distance.
Unlike earlier models, the Hew
super-fort has a tricycle landing
gear, all wheels of which have
double tires.
The wing span Is said to be 141

Belgian Priest
Likes His Bleak
Alaskan Island
Tununak, Nelson Island lfi
Father Paul C. Deschout, Jesuit
priest for 10 years on this bleak.
little-known sea island, had as
much difficulty learning the ways
of the Eskimos here as they had
becoming accustomed to his.
When the Belgian-born priest
was called to an outlying village
to officiate at a funeral, he found
the village elders sitting on a
bench in the kashim. or men's
house. He began shaking hands
with them, moving along the line
of skin-clad hunters, trying to
gain their confidence.
"I was halfway along the line
of men." Father Paul relates,
"when I found myself shaking
hands with the dead man. They
had brought him into the kashim
for a last visit before he was
buried."
Father Paul has been off Nel
son island only once in 10 years,
and then he hurried back, home
sick for his bleak island home,
his tiny chapel, and the wild Es
kimos he works, hunts and lives
with. With his team of eight
malemutes. the priest travels con
stantly among the native villages.

from midwife to reindeer herder.
Today Father Paul was prepar
ing for a trip to a remote village
on the other side of the island.
AU the men of this village were
away on the reindeer round-up
and four children were about to
be born. The men wanted Father
Paul to bring them news of their
wives and offspring as soon as
possible, and the women wanted
him there with a medical kit.
'One thine about it," Father
Paul laughed, "if the babies are
all boys, I'll be the most popular
messenger on Nelson Island when
I return.
