Boeing Prototype of First Jet Airliner
Sits on Apron of Seattle Test Center

BYSLETIN STACKHOUSE
Unfd Press Correspondent
Seattle (U.R) On the apron
at the Boeing Aircraft Com
pany's flight test center sits a
siek silver-and-yellow plane
with four jet engines and rakish,
backswept engines. It is the
pride and joy of the company's
47,000 employees from the top
'OTass to the men who sweep out
the hangers.
It is the Boeing 707 prototype,
America's first jet airliner, de
signed to whisk as many as 147
passengers at speeds up to 600
Boeing has a backlog of 134
orders fron airline customers j
arotsndlhe world and expects to
deliver the lirst production
model to Pan American late in
rifl58.
Other American aircraft
manufacturers are in the race
too, b.U. Boeing appears to be
the front-runner by aQ country
mile despite a military road
block that has set the program
back two years.
Military Wanted Plant
The trouble is that the 707
was JtKrn with a split person
ality. wThe military tSok one
look at the prototype and de
cided it was just the plane they
wanted for their first jet tanker
to act as refueling ship for the
B52 intercontinental Bomber.
Consequently, Boeing now is in
full production of the tanker
plane,, only slightly modified
and dubbed the KC135.
The $16 million prototype of
the 707 first was flo'ivn here
on July 15, 1954. And the first
production model of the tanker
version rolled out of the Renton,
Wash., plant just a year and
thrtC days later.
With ti KC135 replacing the
propeller-driven KC135 tankers
the big 052 bombers will be
able to refuel wlrfte maintaining
their cruising speed and altitude

eded him as chairman of the
subcommittee. The sole Repub
lican member, Sen. Carl T.
Curtis of Nebraska, filed a
blanket dissent, saying the re
port "is neither complete nor
in accord with the known facts."
The Democrats said big busi
ness contributed "largely to
the Republicans while labor
gave "almost entirely" to the
Democrats.
Curtis objected that the report
accounted for only "relatively
small" voluntary contributions
from labor and ignored man
power and "services" provided
by unions as well as spending
from their general funds.
Compulsion Said Used
Republican National Chair
man H. Meade Alcorn Jr.
charged Sunday that "compul
sion" was used against members
"within some unions" to force
them "to contribute to a certain
political party," presumably the
Democrats.
He also said he believes pres
ent limitations set on campaign
contributions and expenditures
are "unrealistic."
The subcommittee showed the
Republicans spent $20,685,387;
the Democrats $10,997,790;
labor committees, $941,271; and
miscellaneous, $581,277 during
last year's campaign. The total
was $33,185,725.
But the subcommittee said the
actual total far exceeded this.
It had no way of checking some
fund raising activities.
