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.

why a man is injured where the
machine is not at fault."

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

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.
Mahoney said a tax court rul
ed O'Brien was correct when he
reported his shares of assets in
Terneed Production, Inc., as a
capital gain instead bf personal
income. The company was 'dis
solved in 1944. . . '

HELPFUL FROST
Grand Rapids, Mich. U.R)

The
Atomic Energy for
Meat Flavor Studied
Davis, Calif. (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.
