Dance King Astair thinks
and hopes the new Charleston
eraze will be a flash in the pan
"I suppose it's a novelty to
youngsters who weren't even
born wehn it was first danced,"
he commented. "It must look
like fun to them. But I don't
think it will make a comeback.
"For myself, I'm not interest
ed in old dances. I'm always
looking for new ones."
Astair admitted to being a
Charleston dancer himself.
"My sister Adele and I danced
It to a Gershwin tune in 'Lady
be Good' in London," he recall
ed. "It created a lot of talk."
He also confessed having owned
a raccoon coat.
But such things are in the
past now, he said. He indicated
the Charleston had little to of
fer in the way of grace and
beauty.
Fred Astaire Has Hopes
Charleston Not Coming Back
Hollywood, Dec. VP) Is the Charleston coming back? Fred
Astaire hopes not.
The famed and frenzied dance of the roaring '20 s has been
making a reappearance at college dances, society parties and in
Broadway shows. It is part of a throwback to another postwar
trend which has also'

death" cases cannot be met
through welfare channels.
The county court earmarked
$1,300, the balance of its in

to buy food for veterans in the

W) On orders from Romania's
communist government the en

U. N. International Children's
Emergency Fund (UNICEF) left
the country last night.
The group of U. N. officials
left for Paris after the govern

Electronic Brains May Fly
Fast Airplanes of Future
By PAUL F. ELLIS
(United Press Science Editor)
New York (U.R) Man is learning to fly so rapidly that the day
may be coming when the electronic brain will have to take over
the controls.
Man, according to S. Paul Johnston, director of the Institute of
Aeronautical Science, "can't stand the gaff" at 1500 miles an hour,
a speed which he predicts might'
become a reality in 1955.
'"There is no doubt whatever
that we now possess the know
how to build practical aircraft
that will fly at speeds of 1,000
to 1,500 miles an hour, or even
faster," he reported to the Coop
er Union.
It is not sure, he said, that
such high-speed planes will have
military value.
Johnston said "no human pi
lot" could operate a plane going
1,500 miles an hour.
"At 1,000 miles per hour, a pi
lot is traveling almost a quarter
of a mile a second. In the time
that it takes you to count five
slowly you are a mile from
where you started. And at such
speeds, to make a turn of any
thing less than a mile radius is
an invitation to 'black out,' even
when wearing the best of our
so-called 'G' suits."
He believes that man is near-
ing his limits of endurance, and
that there are machines now
that can do a job better than a
human brain.
"The obvious thing to do," he
said, "is to take the human be
ing out of the machine; to re
place him with electronic and

heads "are certainly under In
tensive study and development
by every major power in the
world."
"How soon they will be ready
for use on an effective scale is
still anybody's guess," he added.
"For the next decade, at least,
any intercontinental warfare
will be waged with piloted air
craft. Long range jet bombers
flying at speeds of over 600
miles per hour, will press home
the attack on military and in
dustrial objectives deep in en
emy territory."
Johnston also believes that
the idea of an artificial satellite,
or moon, is "within our reach."
