o TWXLVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. December 7, 1953 Jet Plane Travel Fast Approaching; Will Shrink World by 40 Per Cent Long Distance Flight Times To Be Nearly Halved "Washington OJ.R) Jet tra vel is coming fast. In few years long distance flight times will be nearly halv d; New York to London in six hours, 45 minutes; New York Paris, seven hours; Tokyo-Seattle, less tharfolO. The U. S. military has been using jet power for a decade. Now major American air trans port companies are betting -Sl,- 000,000,000 on jet flight for civ ilians, o They expect jet service to ttkk in 1959 .or 1960. They ex pect it to be regularly establish ed in 1961. Federal officials who police the skyways, believe the airlines are betting on a sure thing. Civil Aeronautics Administrator Fred erick B. Lee told the United Press: "The public is going to demand the speed and comfort of jet travel." Other CAA and industry sources say jets will revolution ize air transportation. The Meaning U. S. airlines in recent weeks have place multimillion-dollar jet orders with three American plane builders. Foreign orders also are coming in. The jet age will mean; For the public: The fastest, smoothest travel yet. No noise, except a soothing hum hardly audibl$xcept in the rear seats. Flight seven to eight miles up, far "fibove the weather." For the aircraft industry: A measure of independence from military patronage. Now that the plane makers have a pillion-dollar acklog of civilian orders, "peace could bust out all over" a government official said "with out throwing the aircraft in dustry into depression." For the airlines: A rich boom In "induced travel." Executives with only hours to spare for trav el will be able to cross contin ents or oceans on business. For eign ministers will be able to get together oftener. Jet flight will shrink the world 40 per cent. The Builders U. S. jet makers are Boeing, Douglas, Lockheed. The Boeing 707 and Douglas. DC-8 will be "pure jets" four-engine swept wing giants carrying 90 to 145 passengers at 550 to 600 miles an hour. j Lockheed's entry i the turbo prop Electra. It will use jet pow er not f direct thrust but to turn propellers. This four-engine craft will carry 5 passeng ers at speeds up to 450 miles per hour. As Lockheed sees it, the big pure jets will fly nonstop trans ocean and transcontinental route with perhaps a one-stop Chicago service between the East and West coasts. Turboprops will bid for busin ness on shorter routes, although the Electra will have transcon- g tinental range. This intermediate businr .s constitutes bout 80 per cents of present air service. U. S. plane builders appear to be the onlyS ones pushing into the long-range pure jet field. The ill-fated British Comet is back in the air after four dis astrous crashes of earlv models, But the four-jet Comef IV won't be able to span the ocean non stop. The British, meanwhile, have junked plans to build a O really long-range jet airliner, the Vickers-Armstrong V-1000. SO Industrial Safety Conference Here Saturday T-1. .: T Iff T J - ivieivm ju. jviurpny, executive director of the Mental Health association of Oregon, will be one of several speakers sched uled for the Southern Oregon i Industrial Safety conference at Medford High school Saturday.

At previous .safety conferences throughout the country, Murphy has maintained that "injuries happen only to people. The me chanical side of the picture is well-known for the most part. We need to know more about why a man is injured where the machine is not at fault." Mental Health Programs Murphy was executive direc tor of the Mental Hygiene soci ety of North Carolina, and has held positions with the Univer sity of Colorado Medical school, Kansas State Social Welfare commission and with the Army.

Saturday morning there will Tear Gas Breaks Up Demonstrating Horde Of Georgia Students Official Probes Charge Boy Forced To Eat Soap Baldwin, N. Y. U.R) Nassau County District Attorney Frank Gulotta ordered an investigation yesterday into the complaint of a pair of angry parents that a school teacher forced.their 10-year-old son to eat soap. A school official said the boy's mouth was washed out with soap because he used offensive language. The official denied the boy was forced to eat any soap. Athens, Ga. (U.P.) Police and troopers used tear gas to break up a yelling 'throng of more than 1,500 University of Georgia male students during a campus demonstration early to day. State highway patrolmen ar rested two students and discharg ed tear gas among the swirling horde of demonstrators ' who blocked traffic, threw rocks at patrol cars and hung effigies of a university dean. This was a fifth campus dem onstration to be staged in the state since Gov. Marvin Griffin proposed that Georgia Tech be fortridden to play in the Sugar Bowl game Jan. 2 because of riv al Pittsburgh's Negro fullback. Dean of Men Target The target this time was not Griffin as in Tech's rowdy march on the state capitol, and the gov ernor's mansion, but Dean of Men William Tate, because is is disciplining students for their part in a "sympathy" rally by Georgia students two nights ago. The State Board of Regents, governing both institutions, vot ed after Tech's riotous protest to permit the Sugar Bowl game. The board is still debating pre cise terms for enforcing the state's segregation traditions in future athletic contests. The regents ordered strict seg gregation in contests - played within the state with some tol erance of racial mingling accord ing to the "ground rules" of the localities involved in out-of-state games. MustFollow Policy The regents' opinions appear to favor letting the athletic of ficials of Georgia and Georgia Tech schedule future games without direct interference so long as they follow that general policy. 'Regent Charles Bloch said late Tuesday he wanted to reconsider a proposal he. made for setting up a "screening" of all prospec tive bowl games by the regents to safeguard the board's policy toward mixed athletics. ' Acfor Pat O'Brien Wins Government Tax Fight Hollywood '(U.R) Actor, Pat O'Brien has won a $206,000 tax fight with the federal govern ment, according to his attorney, Frank W. Mahoney.

(U.P.) Scientists are experimenting with atomic energy to sterilize and improve the flavor of meat. Aloys L. Tappel, assistant pro fessor of food technology at the University of California's Davis campus, is using radiated meat to measure any possible changes in color, vitamin content, and taste of beef, pork, poultry and fish. So far he's learned that high levels, of radiation do change the color and flavor. Very low levels do not sterilize the meat, though the flavor is not unfavorably changed, he said. To be practical, Tappel said, the radiated meat must taste and look like fresh, untreated meat, and it must be nutritious. Tappel is using samples of meat treated at Arco, Ida. There it is radiated with gamma rays given off from the U. S. Govern ment's atomic power plant.
