most jet planes. Conventional ejection seat catapults the pilot

plane. The F3D features a chute which permits the pilot
to drop out beneath the belly of the speeding jet. The system
has been tested up to SOO m.p.h. successfully. Photos on left

HEART STILL RULES
Husband Still Loves Wife
Who Accused Him of Murder
La Crosse, Wis., Dec. 13 IU.R) Auto salesman Arnold Larson,
found Innocent of first degree murder, said today he still loves
hia estranged wife, who accused him of killing Dr. James Mc
Loone to avenge the death of their son.
A circuit court jury returned a verdict of innocent late Friday
night after deliberating the fate-;; :
of the dapper, 35-year-old de
fendant for six and one-half
hours.
The jury rejected Mrs. Lar
son's testimony that her husband
confessed to her last August, "I
killed the - ."
It acepted, instead, Larsons
denial of the charges, and his
story that he was at home the
night of November 14, 1047,
when the prominent La Crosse
physician was shot fatally and
his body dumped along a high
way. District Attorney John Cole
man attempted to prove that
Larson killed McLoone because
he blamed the doctor for his
son's death following an opera
tion. Two-year-old Jimmy died
in February, 1944, in a hospital
here,
Smiling happily after he was
freed by the jury of 11 men and
one woman, Larson said his

fund drive. His appointment
was announced Saturday. He

cause the party's reserve fund
had dwindled to only $90,000.
Stuart is vice chairman of the
board of the Quaker Oats Com

Boy Scout official.
Senator Jenner (R., Ind.)
called for a different turn on
international affairs, blasting
again at the bipartisan foreign
policy which has had the loving
care of Senator Vandenberg
(R Mich.).
Senator Ferguson (R., Mich.),
who rode with Jenner around
the world on one of those in
spection tours by which many
members of congress take up the
time between sessions, promised
a statement of his own views a
little later.
Senator Aiken (R., Vt.) took
Senator Brlcker (R., Ohio) to
task for suggesting formation of
a new party through a coalition
of southern Democrats and
northern Republicans.
That just wouldn't work, the
Vermont senator said. He added
that he does think a lot of Dem
ocrats will join the Republicans
in opposing too much centrali
zation of government power In

In Cleveland, Senator Taft
(R., Ohio) will wind up a pre-
