o
Scientist Indicates
Supersonic Plane To
Succeed Jet Bomber
Los Angeles (U.R) The chief
(scientist of tlje Air Force strong
ly indicated Saturday that a
supersonic bomber is being de
signed as an eventual successor
to the 650-mile-an-hour B52
heavy jet bomber now going
into service.
Dr. H. Guyford Stever also
said that development of an inter-continental
ballistic missile
will prove in many ways to be
more difficult than development
of earth satellite vehicles like
those to be shot into space dur
ing the 1957-58 International
Geophysical Year.
He predicted in a speech pre
pared for the Massachusetts In-
Salem Youths lo
Enter Pleas Monday
. Salem (U.R) Two 18-year-old
Salem youths accused of the
shotgun holdup of 15 women
and children at a "birthday club"
party near here Wednesday, will
enter pleas in District Court
Monday.
Complaint against the two
teen-agers, Earl Eldon Lane and
Luverne Francis Truitt, was
signed by Mrs. Glen Gentry
from whose purse $40 was re
ported taken during the rob
bery. '
Bail for the pair was set at
$5000.
Officers said the youths en
tered the home of Earl Huber in
Marion community brandishing
a shotgun and wearing T-shirt
masks. They fled with money; a
.38 caliber revolver and bright
ly wrapped presents which they
dumped into Turner creek after
(lighting a police roadblock. .
Police said Lane had ' admit
ted 12 other burglaries in Mar
ion and Polk county and had im
plicated Truitt, an airman on
leave, in several of the crimes.
Construction Worker
Killed in St. Helens
St. Helens, Ore. (U.R) Ar
chie William Kneeland, Port
land construction worker, was
fatally injured here Thursday
while working at the St. Helens
Safeway store.
Kneeland was foreman for a
Portland electrical contractor.
He apparently tripped while
working in the attic of the store
and struck his head on a beam.
stitute of Technology Alumni
Association here that the next
10 years will see development of
combat planes that take off and
land vertically.
Nuclear-Powered Bombers
He also forecast nuclear-powered
bombers that will have
"essentially infinite range." But
he said there probably will not
be nuclear - powered civilian
planes because of ground hand
ling and shielding problems.
Stever, who has the title of
Air Force chief assistant, said
after discussing the B47 and B52
jet bombers that "we are now
considering the conversion in
the next few years to bombers
with supersonic capabilities." He
pointed out that one such bomb
er, the B58, is "known publicly
to be under development."
The B58 is the prospective suc
cessor to the medium-range B47.
The Air Force has not disclosed
what it is doing about a super
sonic bomber to replace the B52.
Would Fly 800 MPH
A supersonic bomber would
fly at least 800 miles per hour
and possibly faster.
Discussing the earth satellite
vehicle, Stever said it will have
to reach a speed of 25,000 feet
per second which is at least two
and one-half times the speed
achieved by rockets up to now.
He said it is a task that will not
"be tossed off with great ease."
The speed requirement for an
intercontinental ballistic missile
will be not much . less, Stever
said, and other problems will
make it a "greater technical
achievement than that of a small
satellite."
The payload for a militarily
useful missile will be much great
er than that of a scientific satel
lite. The accuracy will be "con
siderably greater." And the
problem of getting the missile's
warhead back through the at
mosphere and onto its target
without melting must be solved.
Argentine Cruisers
Collide Oil Coast
Buenos Aires (U.R) Two
Argentine heavy cruisers bought
from the. United States were in
volved in a collision during man
euvers off the Argentine coast,
it was announced officially Fri
day. The 10,000-ton cruisers De Ju
lio, formerly U.S.S. Boise, and
General Belgrano, formerly U.
S.S. Phoenix, both were damag
ed, but their fighting capacity
was not affected, the govern
ment reported. There were no
casualties.
The collision occurred Thurs
day night when one of the cruis
ers struck the other a glancing
blow. Argentina acquired the
ships from the United States in
January, 1951.
On The Side
Yreka Council Against
County Sales Tax
Yreka The city council of
Yreka has gone on record as
opposing a Siskiyou county sales
tax which will-be a discussion
topic at the board of super
visors meeting on March 20.
The city council said that such
a tax would encourage more
California businesses to go to
Oregon, where no such tax ex
ists, since Yreka is so near the
state line.

A peer and member of Sir An

To love as I love you;
To feel the world. -
The bright beautiful, joy giving

Letitia Landon.
Kelly is a grand old name.
However, there has been an
excess of attention recently paid
to one pessessor of it. Let not
this avalanche of acclaim cause
us to forget the Kellys.B. G.
(before Grace). As for example,
"King" Kelly, the "Babe" Ruth
of his day. Or Kelly "The Roll
ing Mill Man." Or "Spider" Kel
ly, the gallant Ringman, and
"Honest John" Kelly, the' dar
ing disciple of the Goddess of
Chance. Or Walter C. Kelly, the
brilliant vaudevillian known as
"The Virginia Judge." Then
there was Billy Kelly, the great
Buffalo, N. Y., sportscribe. Also
Mark Kelly, Damon Runyon's
pal. George Kelly, the play
wright. And "Long George" Kel
ly, the N. Y. Giants first sacker.
Also Gregory Kelly and Paul
Kelly, very able actors. Also
Jimmy Kelly, the picturesque
Manhattan night spot maestro.
And Myra Kelly, clever writer
of short stories. Last but cer
tainly not least, there is Frank
P. Kelly, the best fire chief San
Francisco ever had.
Says She
"May I offer a few objections
as to attire which might possibly
inspire some of my sex to cease
making themselves ridiculous?"
writes a feminine subscriber.
No female over 13 should be
seen in public in matador pants.
Those little, round, flat hats
worn in the middle of the head
by some women make them ap
pear very silly and slightly
moronic. As for those plump
women who wear pants in pub
lic, they should be impressed
with the truth of the classic couplet:
Girls With Fat Backs
Shouldn't Wear Slacks
Please Note
A sportscribe styles Swaps as
the greatest racehorse ever
bred in California." Only a very
callow commentator would be
guilty of such a statement. The
time has not yet come to es
timate the extent of the great
ness of this noble animal. Swaps
is only four years old. So far,
he has won only one handicap,
an overnight affair at a mile and
a sixteenth. He has yet to prove
his greatness as a handicap
horse.
So They Say 1
The lucky number for Virgo
(August 24-September 23) people
is five. They should take five
and five in the daily double and
wager only on a Wednesday
which is their lucky day. Their
color is purple; their flower the
violet. They make good nurses,
interior decorators, writers, act
resses and secretaries. They are
critical and hard to please. As
wives they are hard to handle.
As executives, inclined to make
life difficult for the help, or, so
say the stargazers.
Sidelights
Mr. and Mrs. George Goben of
Lucas, Iowa, were married for
eighty one years. That is the
United States record for a last
ing marriage. . . . One of every
ten proposals of marriage is
made while the couple is danc
ing. It is said that the three tunes
inspiring the most proposals of
marriage have been "My Blue
Heaven," "Stardust" and "Why
Do I Love You?"
St: Patrick's Day
Too Much for LA Man
Long Beach, Calif (U.R)
Thoughts of the old sod ap
parently were just too much
on St. Patrick's day for Irish
born, homesick William O'
Connell, 32, as he strolled
along a street.
"Sure, I'm glad you stopped
me." he told motorcycle offi
cer Richard Johnson. "I want
to give myself up."
O'Connell was booked on a
drunk charge while immigra
tion authorities checked his
story that he had been in the
United States illegally for the
last five years. He said he
stowed away on a British
freighter to Canada and then'
walked over the Canadian bor
der.

Israel Accuses
Egypt of Series
Of Gaza Attacks
Jerusalem, Israeli Sector (U.R)
Israel accused Egypt Saturday
of a two-day series of running
attacks against Israeli settle
ments in the tense Gaza Strip
border area.
Army spokesman Capt. Naf tali
Lewin said Egyptian forces
struck twice Friday and twice
Saturday, mostly against the
Kissufim settlement which is a
control point on the vital Israeli
water pipeline into the Negev
desert. '
Attack Camp
Egypt accused the Israelis of
an attack on an Arab refugee
camp in the Gaza Strip: A com
plaint lodged with the United
Nations Mixed Armistice Com
mission said Israeli forces opened
fire with automatic rifles against
the Moghazi Palestinian Arab
refugee camp and killed one
Arab.
The Israeli charges pointed up
the increasing activity along the
narrow sandy border between
the two countries.
Capt. Lewin said in Friday's
action an Egyptian outpost
opened up at Kissufim and
Israeli troops at the settlement
returned the fire. Later, he said,
Egyptian infiltrators tried three
times to get into Israeli territory
near the Nirim and Zikim set
tlements along the Gaza Strip.
They were put to flight, he said.
The Israeli spokesman said there
were no casualties.
Rifle, Machinegun Firt
He said that in Saturday's ac
tion, Egyptian gunposts turned
rifle and machinegun fire on
Kissufim twice in the morning
and three times in the afternoon
when Egyptians tried to infil
trate Israeli lines. The infiltra
tors reached the outskirts of the
village of Bealry before they
were turned back, Lewin said.
Meanwhile, Israel also accused
Jordanians of spraying bullets
into the Israeli sector of Jeru
salem yesterday from the wall
surrounding the Arab section of
the divided Holy City. No cas
ualties were reportd. e
Three-Year-Old Boy
Drowns in Cistern
Los Angeles (U.R) The body
of a three-year-old boy who
drowned in three feet of oil in
an abandoned cistern was found
Saturday after two playmates of
the youngster kept secret his
death for almost 24 hours.
More than 300 sheriff's dep
uties and private citizens had
searched for the boy, John Rich
ard Sandoval, since he disap
peared late Friday from his home
in Rivera.
While the search was under
way and the child's father ex
pressed fears that the boy was
a kidnap victim, five-year-old
Philip French told his mother
that "Ricky" had jumped into
the cistern Friday.
Deputies quickly located the
eight-foot deep cistern, located
about three blocks from the
Sandoval home, and pulled out
the child's body.
Philip French told deputies
he,, Ricky and another boy were
playjng when they discovered
the cistern, which was covered
by a 50-pound steel plate.
The first cable between the
United States and England was
completed Aug. 5, 1858, across
tLu North Atlantic Ocean.
