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.
