OREGON Air Man Fnvisinn Jt Fltahts Arms States' May Be 5 Years or More, Z?i They're on Way Bv Charles Corddrv I obvlouslv eoulrl nvprturn nil nre-1 3. "Remote" possibility ol By Clutrles Corddry (United PreM Avinlion Writer) Washington (ll'i Jet propelled transcontinental mems between lunch and dinner are practicable out are at least live years away, probably more. For best estimates as to speed and types of passenger planes that will succeed today's,' the press queried the five manufac turers of current transports and six major airlines. These main conclusions were drawn from top executives' re sponses: 1. If work were started imme diately on available designs, it would be five yeai before Jet air liners were In service. In substan tial agreement on that were Don ald Douglas, president of Douglas Aircraft Co.; Well wood Beall, vice f (resident in charge of engineer ng and sales for Boeing Airplane Co., and Hall L. Hibbard, vice president and chief engineer of Lockheed Aircraft Corp. (Sir Frank Whittle, British Jet pioneer, believes his country will have a let transport In about three years. Britain is said to be at work on a GOO-mile-an-hour, 40- passenger Jet plane designed for slx-nour Atlantic crossings.) 2. The first American Jet trans port will carry from 35 to 150 pas sengers at about 500 miles an hour and at altitudes of seven to eight miles. They will be more comfortable than today's 300 mlle an-hour planes and as economical. Stratoerulser on Way 3. There probably will be but one more big step in the field of conventionally powered commer cial planes the forthcoming Boe ing Stratocruiser which will caiTy 75 passengers and will be able to cross the country In 8 to 10 hours. That compares with present 12 to 13 hour flights in Douglas DC 6's and Lockheed Constellations. Finally will come the Jets. 4. No technical mysteries hold up jet plane construction. The problems are, first, prohibitive , .development costs which probah .y only the government can af ford, and second, traffic control. A fuel-hungry Jet could not toler ate traffic congestion, weather de- ' lnvc nnrl KWn pvtlfi hicAttlno nrou. ent air travel. Overcoming these problems may take 10 years. . 5. War, revolutionary discover ies or other extraordinary occur ences which speed development obviously could overturn all pre options. Good for 10 Year The general outlook then is that the new Boeing plane is good for 10 years and that for 5 to 10 years for Boeing and these other planes will mainly comprise airplane fleets: Four-engine Lockheed Con stellations and Douglas DCC's and slightly slower twin-engine Consolidated Convair liners, Mar tin 20-2's and Douglas "Super" DC-3's. Jets will come Into opera tion slowly during the latter half pf this period, according to the available forecasts. Among airline men consulted, Juan T. Trippe, president of Pan American Airways, the world's largest, said a 500-milean hour Jet liner undoubtedly could be built In a few years. Difficult op erational and financial problems would have to be solved to make the project worthwhile, he said. Croill Hunter, president of Northwest Airlines, regarded the Stratocruiser as the most modern plane likely to be in use for 10 years, but said he was interested in Jets II he can bo shown that they will give improve econo mlea IJkes CoaslellaUons Like others, Warren Lee Pier son, board chairman of Transcon tinental & Western Air, liked what he had for at least five more years. In TWA's case it is the Constellation. Pierson would not predict jet possibilities. J. A. Herlihy, United Air Lines vice president, opined that Jets may appear in five years but he doubted they would be used in "significant numbers on the na tion's airways before 10 years." Then they will be used largely between major cities, reducing time between San Francisco and New York, for instance, to five hours. Herlihy looked to planes like United's DC-6's to be the ma jor carriers for at least five years. un the basis of known data and current research, Donald Doug las made these predictions: l. uy iat&, domestic let airlin ers with two or three jet engines, 32 to 36 passengers, 450 to 500-mile-per-hour cruising speed at 25,000 to 35,000 feet, 1,000 mile range. 2. From 1955 to 1960, first ap pearance of four-jet, swept-baek wing, 50-passenger planes with 500 mlle-per-hour cruising speed at 25,000 to 40,000 feet and up wards of 2,500-mile range. 3. "Remote" possibility of trans-ocean Jets before 1965. They would have 3,soo-mlle range. Hibbard said Lockheed had de signs lor 40 to 50-passengiT, 500 mile-per hour, four -jet, swept wing planes for either transcon tinental or transocean service. They would fly at 30,000 to 40,000 feet. He said they could be ready for service in five years If work began at once. But the develop ment cost would be $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 and "therefore noth ing Is being done." Hibbard thought 050 mile-an-hour jets possible within 10 to 15 years. lleall said Boeing had designs ready for the drawing board for 500 to 600 mlle an hour, 30 to 40 passenger, Jet transports but it would take at least five years to produce them If orders were plac ed now. Prodigy Cuts 60 Seconds To 45 in Piano Piece Portage, Pa. Hi') Chopin In tended it to be the "Minuet Waltz" but Hoy Oleynik, a 12-year-old pianist, has cut the time to 45 seconds. It may not be a record, but It is fast. (Jilted with a phenomenal memory, the seventh grade stu dent has shown musical maturity. He can play selections by any composer suggested by his list eners. Once Roy has had a lesson on a certuin selection, he never needs the score again. Roy estimates he knows from 1,500 to 2,000 selections from memory. Often he Isn't content with the written score, so he Im provises. Roy's mother-recalls that he tried playing the piano at three. When Jean, an older sister, would play a piece of music, Roy would follow her to the piano and re peat the selection from memory.
