1000 M.P.H. Air Speeds
BALTIMORE. Feb. 12 (IP)
One of America's leading plane
designers predicted today that
aircraft would travel 1000 to
1500 miles per hour "within the
next iu to la years.
"And I'm no crystal gazer,"
declared Peyton M. Magruder,
of the Glenn L. Martin comDanv.
who designed the B-26 Marauder
medium bomber and helped put
on paper sucn planes as the Mar
tin Mars the world's largest
flying boat.
"wnat those aircraft will look
like I don't know yet," he said in
an interview, "by my aeronau
tics engineer will tell you the
same thing about air speeds.
ror instance, the German V-2
goes much faster than 1500 miles
an nour and travels 80 milps
high. , Wl.cn the technical diffi
culties are licked and they
will be what would prevent
you from putting passengers in
it and sending them off on a
trip?" '
mere was no question in Ma-
gruder's mind about means of
propulsion it will be either jet
or rocket.

Farmers are again reminded
tlint February 15 is the closing
date for them to submit all re
ceipts and other evidence of
work done for payment under
the AAA program of 1944. All
applications for payment must
be signed on or oeiore inai aaie
and all farmers who have not
already done so are advised to
contact the AAA office, Room
207, federal building, immediate

conservation practices by farm
ers in this county has just ended,
Dirt moving practices, such as
reorganization of farm irrigation
systems, drainage, construction
of stock water reservoirs, and
water spreading are particularly
adapted to Klamath county. The
application of sulphur to crop
land is another practice which
gained much favor. All prac
tices offered during the year
1844 were widely used and con
tributed greatly toward con
servation of soil and water re
sources. OF
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (IP)
Development of Portland, Ore.,
as one of the great Pacific ports
was urged today by Senator
Morse (R-Ore.)
Morse, who became familiar
with Pacific coast shipping mat
ters as arbitrator ot maritime
disputes while he was a member
of the war labor board, de
scribed the port of Portland as
"one of the finest." v
"Its accessibility to the great
industrial areas of the Pacific
northwest and to the very pro
ductive hinterland of that area
entitle it to equal consideration
by the federal government with
any Pacific coast port in the es
tablishment of Pacific shipping
routes and in the allocation of
new -freight ships," he said in
a statement.
"I intend to see to it that
some of our Washington offi
cials are mad3 more familiar
with the great facilities of the
port of Portland than they seem
to be at the present time."

And as for any difficulties
with human body traveling fast
er than sound, Magruder has this
to say:
"There is no organ or sense in
the human body which can mea
sure speed they can detect only
acceleration or deceleration. So
if, there is a reasonable accelera
tion and deceleration, trips at
such high speeds could be most
comfortable."
