Tbr Tickled J. E. Taber,
Lebanon iweet potatoe grow

17-inch specimen which he
says proves his contentions.
Taber's Tubers
Tallest 'Tafers
Lebanon, Oct. 27 J. E. Ta
ber has for the past eight years
experimented with the raising of
sweet potatoes in the black clay
soil of his upland farm in Gold
en valley.
Maintaining that the soil and
climate of the South Santiam
valley is perfectly adapted to
this crop, he has tried in vain to
interest neighbors who farm the
lighter river bottom land. Judg
ing from the success he has had
on less friendly soil, Taber be
lieves 300 bushels of sweet po
tatoes to the acre could be har
vested in the loam districts.
Largest potato harvested this
fall measures 17 inches in
length and Taber points out that
all potatoes, including even the
largest, have exceptionally fine
flavor and are entirely free of
fiber.
Each year Taber has been re
ceiving his plants from Texas
but this fall he is making prepa
rations to propagate his own
starts.

Soviets Have Jet Plane Plans
Fumbled by Nazis, Heinkel Says
Stuttgart, Germany (U.R) Ten years ago Ernest Heinkel, one
of Germany's top plane builders, flew the world's first jet plane
and invited Air Marshal Hermann Goering to watch the test
flight.
Goering, then busily building up Nazi air power for war, was
unimpressed.
"In the years since the end of
he war the U.S., thanks to vast
funds made available for the de
velopment of air technique, ha
achieved such progress that it
cannot be reached again by oth
er countries, least of all by im
poverished Germany.
"There are only two countries
in the world which can afford
modern development of air pow
er, the U.S. and the USSR."
Magruder Book
Wins Defense
Astoria, Ore., Oct. 27 W) The
civics textbook, "American Gov
ernment, ' banned by Houston
public schools, "only states
facts," a member of the Oregon
textbook commission said today.
James H. Burgess, local school
superintendent and member of
the textbook board that selected
the controversial book by Dr.
Frank Magruder of Corvallis,
Ore., said it "only states facts
unpleasant ones and it should
be supplemented with a course
studying Communism. The way
to abolish Communism fastest
would be to put a course in high
school teaching it.
The Houston objection was to
a paragraph identifying public
free education and old age as
sistance as examples of Com
munism."
Astoria schools use the 1947
edition complete with reference
to Communism, Burgess said,
Later editions do not have it,
He added that the textbook
commission could not possibly
read all books it recommends,
He said commission members
scan the books and judge them
largely by the known philos
ophies" of the authors. The loy
alty and integrity-of Magruder
are "unquestioned and unques
tionable," Burgess said.
He told Heinkel to forget
about jets because they would
never be successful in combat.
Today the man whose plant
turned out the first experimen
tal jet plane which was the pro
totype of the aircraft that would
revolutionize air travel, lives
here in retirement, with most of
his aircraft factories moved to
Russia.
Heinkel thinks Goering and
other Nazi air force official
were miffed because they had
not been informed of the years
of research and construction
that the Heinkel works put in on
the jet engine before the first
test flight on Aug. 27, 1938.
It was not until two years
later, when the German gov
ernment received reports that
both Britain and the U.S. were
experimenting with jet engines.
that the Nazi air ministry re
membered Heinkel's successful
test flight and ordered him to
get on with the construction of
a jet fighter plane.
Heinkel first got the idea for
jet propulsion in planes when he
heard of experiments made by a
young assistant professor at
Goettingen University, Dr, Hans
Pabst von Ohain. He called von
Ohain to the Heinkel plant at
Rostok, now in the Soviet zone,
and put him to work with a staff
of 30 engineers.
In less than two years von
Ohain produced the first jet us
able in a plane. In another year
Heinkel had installed it in a
plane about the size of the
"Spirit of St. Louis." in which
Charles Lindbergh flew the Atlantic.
Heinkel named It the HE 178.
His test pilots flew it a few times
and then Heinkel called the air
ministry in Berlin to send ob
servers to watch the "test flight
of a new plane." Goering had
no advance notice that it would
be a revolutionary new type.
Goering and his assistants
watched the HE 178 fly better
than R0O miles an hour and then
told Heinkel to forget about it.
They said its production costs
were too high, that it would not
stay in the air long enough and
could not carry a heavy enough
weapon load.
Despite the air ministry's cold
shoulder, Heinkel's engineers
continued to experiment. When
the German secret service pick
ed up news that the U.S.A. and
Britain were working along sim
ilar lines, his sprawling aircraft
plants were able quickly to put
into the air the HE 280, with
two jet motors and three guns.
It could fly 500 miles an hour.
Other German plane manu
facturers BMN, Junkers and
Messerschmidt starting work
ing on jets and four jet planes
were introduced into the Ger
man air force in 1943-44.
Heinkel, who now lives in re
tirement here since most of his
plants and technicians were
carted off to Russia, says it will
not be German know-how that
will make perfect jets possible.
"Even if the Allies would per
mit the production of airplanes
in Germany, I do not believe
Germany ever again could start
production," he said.
The technique that Heinkel
developed is at work on both
sides.
Ninety-five per cent of his
pl.-nts. located in the Russian
zone, have been dismantled and
replanted in the Soviet Union,
he said, adding "and they have
my best engineers and techni
cians, too."
But the original inventor of
the jet, von Ohain, went to the
U.S. after the war and Heinkel
said he is continuing his work on
jet planes.

Cutthroat Trout
