(AP Wircphoto) Wymi, Skelton Touted for Video Awards for Tear-Jerking Roles HOLLYWOOD Wl Ed Wynn and Red Skelton, who have made a lifetime career of taking comic pratfalls, turned to tear produc tion this season and won them selves ' nominations for television Emmies. The nomination of the two fS mous comics highlighted the tele vised nomination ceremony Sat urday night of the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences. Nominees were announced in 29 acting and technical categories, with the winners to be selected March 16. Wynn's nomination for best sup porting actor and Skelton s for best single performance were 2 of 13 nominations won by Play house 90, the CBS-TV weekly dra matic series which swept the no minations. "It's like being a doctor for 50 years and then winning your first case in court," Wynn commented. His role as the trainer in "Requi em for a Heavyweight" was his first serious one in 55 years of show business. Skelton portrayed a comic on the skids to place him in the field with such slrong dramatic com pelitors as Frcdric March, Lloyd Bridges,- Sal Minco and Jack Palance. Among other nominees to be come early favorites; John Daly, who covered the po litical conventions with more at tention to news than electronics and won a nomination in the news-5 gathering category.

DOROTHY DIX COLIIUM Boy Friend Wants a Hot Rod, Girl Wants a Ring DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Stanley and I have been going steady for ' six years. I waited for him to get through college and I'm still waiting. He talks marriage, but does nothing about it. He has a good job, but spends his money on cars. If he loved me, wouldn't he rather buy me an engagement ring; He says he'll be drafted, do his service, then get a nest egg together. After that, marriage maybe. Gale DEAR GALE: You and Stanley are about the same age, which I Judge to be 22. He, apparently Is a very Immature 22, while you're quite grown up. Here Is the differences in sexes. You arc quite capable of tackling matrimonial responsibilities; Stanley Is not. He'd much rather engineer a hot rod than a baby carriage. Perhaps he'll never be different. In that case, vim mlrrlit Inveiile him Into marriage, but you'd never he happy. He'd be an emotionally unstable nmi vmi his wile, would be the most miserable of women. Study him carefully. Be sure he has the makings of a family man before you marry him. DFAR DOROTHY DIX: I just obtained a job as companion to a semi-invalid, and I'm bored stiff. The woman is hard of hearing, so iherc's practically nothing to do but prepare her simple meals. I d like to get to know some of the other teen-agers in the neighborhood. How can I do this? , .',, omS. r DEAR PENNY: The job scarcely seems suitable lor a teen-ager, but It would be Ideal tor a middle-aged woman.

Editor's note The following exclusive United Press dis patch ts the first story of the development by Hlller Heli copter Company of a revolu tionary new airerafl. Part of the military security wraps were taken off the plane to day and this dispatch gives President Stanley Killer's own estimate of the future of such nlrcraft.) , By GLENN STACKIIOUSE United Press Stalf Correspondent PALO ALTO, Calif. (UP) The X18 propelloplane, an unpedigrccd cross-breed between a helicopter and a conventional airliner which is expected to revolutionize avia tion, is being constructed under Air Force contract at the Hiller Helicopter plant here. It is a twin-engine transport air craft, approximately the size of a Convair airliner, which can rise straight into the air like a heli copter, then dart forward in high speed level flight like an ordinary fixed-wing airplane. The X18 is the first operational prototype of the so-called "tile wing" concept. And its birth an nouncement is a significant aero nautical news event. Its designers call it the greatest step forward in the aviation industry since the development of jet propulsion.' Long Dream If it performs up to expecta tions, and both Hiller and the Air Force are betting it will, it will represent the realization of avia tion's long dream of combining the best features of both the heli copter and the airplane, without the limitations of either. Stanley Hiller Jr.. youthful pres ident of the parent company, .told the. United Press his firm -had been working on vertical take-off VTO) designs since 1947 and set tled on the tilt-wing concept three years ago as "the optimum of technical improvements we were looking for. Actual construction of the X18 began last year under Air Force orders. In Air Next Year Although production schedules are not released, it was expected the strange new plane would take the air some time next year. Hiller said the prototype pronel- loplane was "strictly a research aircraft" designed primarily for the military. But its potential for both military and commercial use is almost unlimited. The X18 is literally an aero nautical mongrel. In its construction. Hitler's engi neers are making maximum use of "existing components." Hence, it has the "boxcar" fuselage and tail assembly of a Chase C122 transport. Its power plant consists of two out-sized Allison turboprop engines pirated from the Navy's XFY1 "Pogostick" plane, a tail- sitting VTO fighter first flown at nearbyv Moffett Naval Air Station in 1954. As in the Pogo. the en gines will spin six-bladcd, counter rotating Curtiss propellors. Tilting Wing The principal, and most start ling, innovation is the unique Hiller-designed tilting wing that sets the plane apart from any thing that has ever taken the air. Squatting on the ground in posi tion for take-off, the wings will tilt vertically at a 90-degree angle from the fuselage, with the twin props pointing straight up. When the pilot pours on the throttle, the two powerful engines will literally yank the plane off the ground by its bootstraps. Once airborne, the pilot will touch a control which will swing the wings into normal Hying position and shove off in level flight. Hiller has predicted that despite its bulk and weight, the tilt-wing transport will climb two to three limes as fast as a DC7" and will 'potentially oulfly the fastest pro- pcller-drivcn plane in existence today." In addition to its ability to take off, hover and land vertically, the XI8 is also perfectly adapted for the STOL (short take-off and land ing) facility also sought by the Air force. Take-off Vertically "Not only will it be able lo take off vertically." Hiller said, "but it will be able to load itself to the gills with cargo and lake off as a conventional airplane when fiells are available. But that's not all. "Furthermore," Hiller said, "by tilting the wings less than 90 degrees, It may take off in any given distance, depending entirely on the runway length and-or the degree of cargo overloading or extra range desired." The X18 will incorporate all of the versatility of the 'copter minus all of the whirlybird's drawbacks, namely limited forward speed, short range, high cost and "pro digious" maintenance problems. The helicopter Is basically a hovering device which is also de signed lo fly forward. The propel loplane is a forward-flying device, capable of hovering. Hiller said the door to VTO flight was opened with the devel opment of the turboprop engine with its comparatively light weight and high power. 'Although the intercontinental jet or rocket verions of the XI8 are "most certain" to come, Hiller said, research has shown that present day jet engines just can't First Look at New Missiles Wyl iniTti'f rj HUNTSVIIXE, Ala. Two new guided missiles designed for troop use were shown publicly for the first time at Red stone Arsenal today, drawing crowd of 10,000. They arc the Dart (above), planned to knock out the heaviest known tank,, and LaCrosse (below), all-weather or surface-to-surface missile for use against strong points. Unusual accuracy Is claimed for both weapons. (AP Wircphoto) do the job of the turboprop in VTO flight. Available let power plants would require so much fuel to lift the entire dead weight of a transport aircvaft from speed zero that the aircraft's cargo would be almost exclusively fuel, and little else," Hiller said. Revolutionary Move The aviation executive views the dvelopmcnt of the X18 as a truly revolutionary move In flying. uno day we 11 probably regard all conventional take-off planes of this age as nothing more than elements of an extended transition period which necessarily had to precede VTO aircraft," he -said. ThoXlSs ability to hover mo tionless in the air will be limited, as compared with a helicopter. But it will be enough to lend it to the myriad of rescue and air borne loading missions now im possible for an airplane. This helicopter facility, com bined jyith the forward speed and load-carrying capacity of the air plane, is expected to make the tilt-wing plane the prime mover in the new atomic infantry pattern which calls for quick movement of supplies to the forward areas and the hop-skipping of troops from one section of a combat area to another. The manufaclurcrs make It very evident they feci the X18 will prove, the first time It goes up, that it is the forerunner of a new era In flying an age that will eventually see the modern airport, landing strips, a thing of the past. The airport of the tilt-wing era, as envisioned by Hiller; will be a rooftop heliport in the center of the metropolis, Instead ot a sprawled -out land-devouring Hoax Involved In HC, Charge Of Neuberger WASHINGTON till - Sen. Ncu- bergcr (D-Ore) said Monday there is a "gigantic hoax involved in the Federal Power Commission decision to licenso three small Idaho Power Co. dams where the federal Hells Canyon Dam should be built." Neuberger said that Secretary of the Interior Seaton "inad vertently exposed" the "hoax" by calling for a detailed study of a high federal dam at Pleasant Val ley, on the Snake River down stream from Hells Canyon. In a speech prepared for de livery in the Senate, Neuberger continued: , "The Eisenhower ' administra tion assented to the FPC decision that Idaho Power dams with a million acre-feet of flood control storage were 'best adapted to a comprehensive' plan for develop mem oi the Columbia River Basin "Now Secretary . Seaton savs that more flood control must be built into the Snake River Basin and supports further study ot the nigh Pleasant Valley Dam which would flood out one of the three Idaho Power sites. . "Scaton's action is clear-cut evi dence that at least ono of the three Idaho Power dams is not the best possible development . . . "Obviously, it the high Pleasant Valley Dam which . would inun date Idaho Power's little Hells Canyon site provides greater benefits, then the FPC is permit ting, inferior development," Rcls Fire on Nats TAIPEI, Mr Communist shore batteries fired .12 rounds at Na tionalist patrol vessels in the Mat su area northwest of Formosa late Sunday night, defense head quarters reported Monday.
