Twin-Jet Executive Aircraft
Heads for Full Production
By CARL CHRISTENSEN
United Press International
WICHITA, Kan. (UPI) -The
aviation industry was skeptical
when millionaire industrialist
William P. Lear Sr. set himself
up in business to build low-cost
(less than $1 million) private
jetliners for traveling execu
tives. Now, about a year since the
Lear Jet Corp. opened up shop
in this aircraft center, aviation
circles are astounded that Lear
has one plane in the air and ex
pects to deliver four to paying
customers by next April.
The Lear jet is a nine - place,
twin-jet executive craft which
flies at 600 miles per hour, has
a 2,000-mile range and can
climb to 40,000 feet in 13 min
utes. With its 847-gallon fuel ca
pacity, it could fly New York
to Chicago in an hour and 40
minutes; from Chicago to Los
Angeles in 3 hours and 30 min
utes. The plane sells for $498,000.
The Lear jet made its first
test filght Oct. 7, zooming to
12,500 foot, flying for 30 min
utes and touching down for a
smooth landing.
"It was all we hoped for and
more," said Lear.
Production Rate
The Lear Company expects to
deliver 44 of its sleek jels by
the end of 1964 and foresees a
production rate of eight to 10 a
month in 1965.
Lear is president and sole
owner of the corporation. He
also is the designer of the plane
and inventor of a dozen patent
able devices with which the
plane is equipped.
Lear invested a private for
tune of $6 million to form his
firm, the only one of its type to

Jackson County Commission
er Edwin Taylor has suggested
anyone interested in participat
ing in the Hawaii trade mission
contact him at the Jackson
County Courthouse.
Two planes have been re
served for the mission, which
would promote trade between
Oregon and Hawaii but reserva
tions should be made early for
the Feb. 9 trip, he said.
Taylor noted that both the
lumber and fruit industries here
appear interested. The county
will not send an official dele
gate to Hawaii expenses paid,
he said. However, any local
businesses or industries may fi

Prominent Figure
Lear has long been a promi
nent figure in electronics and
aviation. He was presented the
Collier Trophy, the nation's
highest award in aviation, in
1950 by President Truman.
This city was quickly con
vinced of the Lear talent. Cur
rently, the company has under
construction a 108,000 square
foot plant adjoining its present
structure to double its capacity.
The city issued $1,250,000 in in
dustrial bonds to finance the
building, which will be leased
by the Lear Corporation. On
completion, Lear personnel will
be increased to 1,100.
A self-made genius, Lear has
less than a high school educa
tion. He was born in Hannibal,
Mo. He ran away from home
when he was 16 and enlisted in
the Navy by lying about his
age.
He said he wanted to "see the
world," but the Navy shipped
him to Chicago and put him in
a radio school. That could have
been his start in his long scries
l of head man positions of many

On the AIR
By ELEANOR WIESE
"Tennessee Tuxedo", listed in
the KBES-TV program sched
ule Wednesdays at 5 p.m. would
appear to be just another car
toon show. But the title is de
ceptive in a way. "Tennessee
Tuxedo and His Talcs" is a car
toon show with a big differ
ence. Along with, the fun comes
a healthy and pleasant dose of
learning.
It took a recent newspaper
article by New York TV col
umnist Harvey Pack to help
my family discover Tennessee
and we became staunch sup
porters in one viewing.
Each week Tennessee, a
cocky little penguin, and his
pal Chumley, a weak-minded
walrus, manage to escape from
their zoo and keeper, Stanley
Livingston, long enough to un
cover the answer to one of the
universal "why" questions
asKea ny cnuaren sucn ques
tions as "why docs a televis
ion works?" or "why docs hot
air rise?"
Answers to these questions
are skillfully woven into the
story line so that the learning
is fun. The program producers
arc using animation as their
special teaching tool. As colum
nist Pack explains it, "What
makes this spoon-fed education
palatable is that the educational
portion is lively and animated
rather than a cut out to film
clips provided by that industry
about to be discussed."
The technique is highly effec
tive, judging from the reaction
of my own children. They didn't
realize that anything more was
involved than pure fun.
I would agree with columnist
Pack that the "Tennessee Tux
edo and His Tales" is helping
youngsters in the 4 to 10 age
bracket "get something out of
the tube besides eye strain."
