'1 PAGE EIGHT THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1948 Multnomah's Sheriff Certain To Take Office Portland, Dec. 24 i Marlon L. Elliott, democratic sheriff-elect of Multnomah county, today ap peared certain to taue ojmce Jan. 3 with a bond satisfactory to the county commissioners. ; The commissioners ' yesterday voted to set the bond at $100,000 for his job as tax collector and $10,000 for his job. as sheriff. It was the same sum required of republican Martin Pnatt whom Elliott defeated In the November general elections. - State treasurer-elect, democrat Walter J. Pearson, who as an in surance man arranged Elliott's bond, said, "If he does not do the Job, I will be the first to sign a recall petition. I think this is a fair statement from the demo cratic party. Though the commissioners earlier discussed raising the bond from $110,000 to $200,000 or more, they voted with one commission er disagreeing, to keep the bond the same. Commissioner Frank Shull fav ored raising it. Commissioners Alan Brown and Tom West voted to hold it the same. Said Brown: "I feel that since all the furore Air Force Unveils 20-Foot Research" Plane V r N i "6? 1 3 5? -""TV itj One of the smallest planes ever built for the Air Force, this is the X-4 Northrop otter its first test flicnt at Muroc Air Knsn.

Shull said. "I feel It should be $200,000 whether or not sheriff Pratt had been reelected." To Every One of jf VJX ' .

Nichols (Unltt-d Prttin Stuff Corretuinltnt) Washington, Dec. 24 Hi'i The pilot threw up his hands. So did the co pilot, ine rest oi tne crew just sat on their hands. And when I looked aft in the DC-3 (R4D to navy men) and saw what was going on, I almost jumped out the escape hatch. There we were rising from the runway at Boiling field in the two-engined plane with nobody at the controls. "Look, Mu! No hands!" said some wag.' But sure enough. No hands! The navy was taking us aloft to demonstrate a new "angle of at tack" autopilot dreamed up by the navy and perfected by Minne apolis-Honeywell. It's something that some day may solve all the weather handicaps that have been In the pilot's forelock since the days of the Wright brothers. Come to think of it, as we took off, it was as if the ghost of Wil bur or Orville Wright wore up there, sitting in as co-pilot. Flicks Switch All Commander Eddie Saxman, the "pilot," did before we zipped down the strip and took wing was to flick a switch no larger than the one which controls the night light in your apartment bath room. A couple of green flickers flicked, indicating that everything automatic was automatic. Co-Pilot Dick Knoeckel, who didn't have anything to do, either, tried to explain what was going on. He did his best: "Angle of air attack," he said, "means, well . . . the difference between where you are going and where the plane is headed." Uh-huh! Commander Bob Dose, an offi cer of naval research, said it was a lot simpler than that. Angle of attacks, he said, using both hands, means tho wings are headed up a little and the rest of the plane is going straight. Since we are going perfectly straight on a perfectly wonderful day, there was no challenge. Stalling Possible If you can understand It, there seem to be a lot of advantages to "angle of attack" autopilot con trol. A big plane with a heavy load practically can stall and come In at siow speed. Much safer that way. You start In and hit the beam. Watch the instruments. (let down to 100 feet, nose headed for the! runway. There la some disturb-' unco. Like a little bad weather. : You're on the beam and you slay j there. Can't move the runway, . can you? You don't have to. 1 For instance, at Boiling, we came in at 75 knots, navy speed (82 miles an hour as the crow flies) and made a perfect landing. That's a lot slower than present day planes make it and a lot smoother and a lot safer. Once more no hands and no huff from the control tower ex cept the cordial "come in." By George, man. It was won derful. Down the middle. Santa, will you please bring me an "angle of attack auto-pilot" for Christmas. Sometimes the walls of my garage aren't big enough to save a barked fender!
