Record Breaking Tourist
Season Predicted for 1952
Detroit --(U.R) The travel
manager of the Automobile Club
of Michigan predicts a record-
breaking season for the nation's
tourist industry during 1952.
Harry N. Rogan said his pre
diction was based on spring re
quests for travel routings and ex
tra heavy travel over the Memo
rial Day and July 4 weekends.
He said one reason for the up
swing in motoring vacations is
that 42,000,000 United States
.workers will receive paid vaca
tions during 1952. The tourist
public is expected to spend $12,-
000,000,000 on travel within the
nation's borders.
A survey by Rogan showed
that 14 per cent of the motoring
vacationers will travel 2,000
miles or more, while 49 per cent
will top the 600-mile mark.
The survey also provided the
following statistics:
Two-thirds of the motoring
tourists will stay overnight in
motor courts, with 16.2 per cent
stopping at commercial hotels
and 12.1 per cent the guests of
friends and relatives. Tourist
homes will cater to the remain
ing five per cent.
. Of each dollar spent, 29 cents
will go for food, 22 cents for
lodging, 15 cents for retail mer
chants, 13 cents for amusements,
10 cents for automobile expenses
and the remaining 11 cents for
miscellaneous items.
Grand Canyon will attract
more than 700,000 visitors; the
Blue Ridge Parkway will be
traveled by 3,000,000 persons;
more than 2,000,000 tourists will
visit the Great Smoky Moun
tains National Park and 1,000,
000 persons will visit Yellow
stone Park.
Rogan estimated the minimum
"comfortable" expenses for a
couple traveling 300 miles a day
at $22. He said the estimate in
eluded food, lodgings, gas, oil,
but no extras.
WORK AND FEAST
Pentwater, Mich. (U.R)
There's civic pride aplenty in
this village. The old dock at the
yacht club on Pentwater Lake
had slipped two feet under
water. A working bee was call
ed and 24 men erected a new
130-foot long dock in several
hours while the women of the
village prepared a feast.
The Mississippi river surface
between dikes at New Orleans
is normally about three feet
above sea level and above the
average level of the city's streets.
The river bed at New Orleans
averages about 80 feet below sea
level.

On Civil War Battle Sites
Kansas City, Mo. U.R) Fa
mous names will be recalled in
famous places this summer when
Army troops train for mountain
warfare near Elkins, W. Va., the
Army news center here notes. '
In that area 90 years ago Con
federate General "Stonewall"
Jackson and Union Generals
George B. McClellan and Phil
Sheridan led their troops in sig
nificant and historic Civil War
battles.
The forthcoming mountain ma
neuver known as Exercise Pine
Ridge will continue from July
to October through the Alle
gheny Mountains and the Shen
andoah Valley from Elkins to
Charlottesville, Va.
It will involve some 22,000
troops just 2,000 more than
the Confederate Army had when
it fought in the maneuver area
in 1862 under Gen. Jackson. In
five battles during the spring of
that year, the general cleared
the Shenandoah Valley and re
lieved pressure on Richmond,
which was under siege by Union
troops.
The 47th Infantry Division as
the "Aggressor" will oppose the
"Friendly Forces" of the 508th
Airborne Infantry Regiment in
this summer's war games, aimed
at training men for cross-country
night and day fighting in
rough mountainous terrain.
These maneuver-wise units op
posed, each other in reverse or
der in training exercises last
winter at Camp Rucker, Ala.,
and recently were on the same
"team" in Exercise Long Horn
near Lampasas, Tex.
Where McClellan Fought
Lt. Gen. Edward H. Brooks,
commanding general of the sec
ond Army, will direct Exercise
Pine Ridge from field headquar
ters set up a few miles from
"Buchannan Gap" near Bev
erly, W. Va. There in 1861 Gen.
McClellan met Southern forces
and routed a small Confederate
unit from nearby positions on I
Rich Mountain and Laurel Hill.
Again in the fall of 1864 the
Pine Ridge maneuver area was
the scene of combat when Gen.
Sheridan's task force invaded
the Shenandoah to score vic
tories at Cedar Creek and Fish
er's Hill.
The Pine Ridge maneuver will
combine regimental combat
team exercises with training in
logistical support where weap
ons and equipment will be a far
cry from the material of Civil
War days.
Today's tanks and armored
cars have replaced cavalry and
automatic weapons give front
line units a firepower undream
ed of 90 years ago. The Army's
new plastic terrain models to
be used at Pine Ridge are a
great improvement over hand
drawn maps sketched for Gen.
Jackson.
Soldier Comes First
Heavy-duty trucks, cable-ways
and helicopters will carry Pine
Ridge supplies over the same
mountains covered by horse
drawn wagon trains in the early
1860's.
However, today just as yes
terday, or 90 years ago the in
dividual infantryman is still the
Army's most effective and es
sential "weapon" in seizing and
holding ground.
.The 47th Infantry Division,
whose home station is Camp
Rucker, Ala., is a National
Guard outfit from Minnesota
and North Dakota which has a
long and "star-studded" battle
record from former wars. Ele
ments of the 47th trace their
history back to Minnesota s
135th Infantry Regiment of Civil
War fame.
The 508th Airborne, currently
stationed at Ft. Benning, Ga.,
parachuted into Normandy on
D-Day June 6, 1944, and fought
in the European Theater during
the rest of World War II. It was
reactivated at Camp- Kilmer, N.
J., May 5, 1952.
Muscle-Powered Airplane
Studied by College Prof
Starkville, Miss. 4U.R) Some
500 years ago Leonardo da Vinci
conceived the idea that man
could fly by his own power.
The versatile Italian genius
had an assistant try out his con
traption. With a bird-like flying
machine attached to his back the
assistant leaped from a hill, only
to crash at the bottom.
Today, a scientist at Missis
sippi State College believes the
dream of boys and inventors
through the ages may.be close
to reality.
Dr. August Raspet, leading mo-
torless flight expert and head of
the aerophysics department
here, has on paper a model of a
muscle-powered plane that he
says "theoretically" should fly.
His Ideas Used
Dr. Raspet used some of da
Vinci's ideas in modeling the ma
chine after birds. However,
where da Vinci used flap wings,
Dr. Raspet plans to use station
ery wings and a propeller turned
by bicycle pedals.
In addition to Incorporating
the latest of eronautical con
struction used in motored air
craft, Dr. Raspet says the prin
cipal feature he is banking on in

the pedal plane is a device for in
creasing the laminar flow of air
along the surfaces.
On all aircraft, he says, there
is friction between a thin laver
of air which clings to the sur
face and air flowing past it.
"We must reduce the losses in
herent in the flow of air over
the lifting surfaces of the wing
and tail over the fuselage," Dr.
Raspet said. "We must also make
these surfaces lighter than any
structure yet developed for the
airplane."
Dr. Raspet says friction can be
reduced greatly by punching
tiny holes throughout the sur
face. The plane would be construc
ted of a very thin material
stretched over a light ribbing.
Weight with pilot would have
to be limited to about 250
pounds.
"With this construction the
fixed wing aircraft powered by
man should be possible of at
tainment," Dr. Raspet said.
