.. , ..,' " rv w win WEW PRESSURE SUIT Lt. Col. Raymond E. Evans, commander of the 83rd Fighter Interceptor Squadron, wears the new MC-4 high altitude pressure suit, as he stands by the new needle-nosed F-104A Lockheed Starfighter, now in operational use at Cali fornia's Hamilton Air Force Base. Air Force Accepts New Fighter Plane for Upper Stratosphere Hamilton AFB, Calif. JW The Air Force today accept ed a fighter-interceptor plane that will fly twice the speed of sound and will push Amer ica'! defense perimeter far out over its oceans. The plane, called the F104A Starfighter, is an "up per stratosphere" fighter and was billed by Lockheed as the "fastest, fightingest and highest-flying interceptor ever built." Exact range of the new plane was not disclosed but spokesmen said it would sweep the air for "hundreds of miles" on the defense perimeter. Research Establishes Hopeful Facts on Heart Heart disease in recent ; years has established five " hopeful facts about the heart ; and blood vessel diseases, Dr. 2 Oscar Heyerman, director of ; the Oregon Heart association, ; pointed out today " In reviewing the Heart as- sociation research, education 3 and community service pro- - gram as the 1958 Heart Fund entered its final period, Dr ; Heyerman listed five facts ; concerning heart disease ; They are some forms of "heart disease can be prevent- led, a few can be cured; all .heart cases can be cared for 1 best if diagnosed early; almost ; every heart condition can be ; helped by proper treatment; !" most heart patients can keep 5 on working, often at the same J job, and "symptoms" may or " may not mean heart disease. ' Reasons for Hopefulness 2 "There are many reasons ;for hopefulness about heart ; diseases," Dr. Heyerman con " tinued. "Medical scientists ; have made great strides in im Z proving methods of diagnosing J the heart diseases and in help I ing to develop new drugs and surgical techniques. The use ;of anti-biotics has almost ; wiped out syphilitic heart dis ; ease, and the same 'strep'-kill- ing drugs can sharply reduce rheumatic fever, forerunner of rheumatic heart disease. They now can also cure 75 per cent of those stricken with bacterial infection of the heart, formerly almost 100 per cent fatal. "High blood pressure, a major cause of heart disease," he went on, "is beginning to yield to treatment, and to day's surgery can work verit able miracles in correcting heart defects with which some of us were born, and others that some acquired in past years through rheumatic fe ver." Generally speaking, Dr. Heyerman observed, during the past 30 years, the risk of dying before the age of 24 from one of the diseases of the heart and blood vessels has been diminished by more than 70 per cent. In the 25 through 44 year age bracket, the risk of dying from these diseases has been reduced by 35 per cent. Meanwhile, he continued, Heart associations throughout the country are day by day achieving broader public un derstanding of the heart prob lem and giving more exten sive guidance in the rehabili tation of cardiac victims.

Negro Officer Due When Needed Portland HP A Negro po lice officer on the Portland force will be assigned for special homocide detail work when necessary in the Negro district of the city. Multnomah County District Attorney Leo Smith said he received assurance from May or Terry Schrunk that the as signments would be made when necessary. Smith had created a minor furor by charging that Portland law enforcement has hampered by lack of a Negro detective for investigations in the colored sections of the city. The plane was put into op eration for the Western Air Defense Command today by Lt. Gen. j. H. Atkinson. Air Force and Lockheed of ficials said the plane will fly more than twice the speed of sound and "climb as fast as it will fly." Lockheed called the aircraft a "missile with a man in it." The Starfighter is a stubby weapon packing "more fire power per pound than any jet ever built," the Air Force said. Statistics Issued Performance s p e cification of the new jet were still un der security wraps but the Air Force released these sta tistics about it: It contains the most pow erful jet engine, thrust per pound, yet developed. It will use the fastest firing aerial machinegun ever built, a 20 millimeter, a Gat-ling-type cannon capable of firing 6,000 rounds per min ute. It will carry Sidewinder missiles guided by an infra red tracking device capable of destroying a target the pilot never sees. It will contain the first downward ejection system for a production type jet fighter. This removes the haz ard of an ejected pilot collid ing with the aircraft when he bails out. Deadly Weapons "The F104A packs a three fisted knockout punch," said Lockheed Vice President C. L. Johnson. "These are its rapid fire cannot, the general electric engine, and two Side winder air to air guided mis siles, one on each wingtip. "One of the Gatling-type 20-mm weapon's explosive shells can destroy a bomber. The gun, using a fast, rotating barrel, pours out more fire power per second than any aerial gun in history." Johnson said that the infra red device "feels" the pres ence of other aircraft by the heat they radiate. "An in frared unit is detection-proof and practically impossible to jam," he said. Lockheed said the plane will develop more than 10, 000 pounds thrust and will take off and climb faster than any fighter ever built. The Air Force said the plane was "very economical." It estimated its delivery cost at "less than a million dol lars." The plane also will be built in a two-seated version. Small and deadly looking, it stands 15 feet, six inches high; is 54 feet rune inches long and has a 21 foot, 11 inch wingspan.
