March 15 ( The navy's sen-going air arm Is In the proems of con version to 10-mtle-a-mimite jet planes. This was announced today by the navy following history-making trials aboard this big Essex-class aircraft carrier last week, when for the first time navy jet fighters operated from a carrier flight deck under routine conditions at sea. The navy said it expects the u i of jets will have been expanded throughout the fleet within a year. Initially only fighters will be Jet propelled. Already the navy has two Jet fighter squadrons In commission, one on the Pacific coast and one In the Atlantic. Fighting squadron 5-A in the Pacific is using the North American "Fury." designated the FJ-1. Fighting 17-A in the Atlantic uses McDonald FH-l's.

With a fancy pair of be-buttoned socks, Rosemary Mimy was given first prize for the girl at the T. & I. stocking dance Friday night. Taking the prize for the best-looking pair of socks among the boys was Ray Best, whose feet were hidden by a mass of ruffles and ribbons. Plaids and bows combined to help Louise Linman and Doyle Shiftman win the prize for the best shod couple. One of the rarer events for tie KU calendar Is coming up on April 9. namely, a boy-ask-girl couple dance. Commercial club is sponsor ing the semi-formal occurrence and decorating with the theme Blue Hawaii. Programs will follow the theme; silhouetted palm trees with a tropical flavor. Results in the ensemble and vocal contest held at KU Saturday show ( that no Klamath participants re ceived lower than a rating of 2, good. Entered in the contest were groups from all over Southern Ore- i gon. In the vocal division. 1 ratings, meaning excellent, were given to Catherine Blanas. Wilber Elliott i and Rosalie Swedln. Vocal 2 s went , to Colleen Creswell and Ronnie uimmicK. Individual mstrumental ratings were 2 s for clarinet players Lois Larson. Geraldine Lewis and Zada Taylor; flute. Ingerid Norland: drums, David Coske and Leonard Wash. Individual Is were received by Jim Griggs on Prench horn; Bruce Crawford, bass; and David Coske, drums. For the ensembles, the clarinet quartet and drum ensemble were the only groups to receive a 1. The brass sextets, trumpet trio, horn quartet, boys' octet, mixed quartet and girls' nonette received 2 rat ings. Twirlers Donna Humble and Joanne Abner were rated with a 2 and 1, respectively. The successful carrier tests tor Jet aircraft aboard the Boxer were the first of their kind. The Royal Ar Force as long ago as December 18-t5 successfully made one experi mental launching with a Jet. Re cently naval experiments were con ducted under special test conditions. But until last Wednesday there had been no Jet operations at sea under normal carrier conditions and with service pilots. The 10 - mile - a - minute FJ-l's thundered on and off the Boxer's flight deck with ease. They were launched successfully both under their own power and by catapult. But despite the 4000-pound thrust developed by the FJ-l's straight ram duct engine. It was apparent Uie slow acceleration of the Jet propelled plane would bar launch lugs under Its own power as routine procedure. This Is a handicap In herent in all present jet propulsion. On the other hand, the ease with which the Jets were eatamilted points to this method of launching as most likely under preesnt Jet development. The jets took off easily enough with a full deck run. But under combat conditions it would not be feasible to keep the entire flight deck clear to launch only one plane at a time. The boxer's two deck catapults, however, shot the six-ton fighters into the air at about 145 miles an hour well over flying speed. The FJ-1 Is a sleek, stub-winged plane rated by the navy simply at "more tlian 550 miles an hour." Publicized figures show that It has flown much better than 600 miles an hour, however. It has a rate of climb of a mile a minute, an official flying time of four hours, and a range of more than 1500 miles. Its axial jet engine is manufactured by General Elec tric Making the first Jet operational landing on the Boxer was Com mander Evan P. Aurand of Hous ton. Tex., commanding officer ot Fighting 5-A. and Lt. Comdr. Rob ert Elder of Milwaukie, Ore., squad ron executive officer. Both pilots pronounced jet car rier landings easier than with con vention propellor-driven aircraft. The jet thrust, they added, was also ample for emergency wave-offs alter the pilot has throttled down for the landing. After witnessing tne tests. Vice Admiral G. D. Murray, commanding the first task fleet, commented that the details of operating full jet squadrons from carriers were "only practical ones." i Among these problems undoubt edly will be new methods of plane handling. Unlike conven 1 1 o n a I planes, the roaring rearward Jet blast probably will prevent launch ing of more than two or three planes at a time. But because Jet engines need no warm-up. the Jet can be moved singly from the deck-load of parked planes, its engine turned up, and launched within a minute or two. There no longer will be any need for the long warm-up period now required by present planes. Clocking showed the FJ-l's In the Boxer tests were air-borne less than two minutes after their engines were turned on. But already naval Jet development has progressed to the point where the "Fury" is termed Just an "In terim" plane by the navy. It expects, the navy added, to count chiefly for its coming fleet Jet expansion on still newer Jet fighters, the Grumman F9F "Pan ther" and the McDonald F-H "Banshee." of Navy Jot Plana From " " .; ' .- ,,," . 1 r. .

March 15 '.4l A hundred and fifty I'ombut vet eians of the 82nd airborne division stood waiting as the slender man with two stars on his shoulder stepped to the microphone.

They were gathered to hear the fare well address of their trade'. Major General "Slim J I ir" Gavin, who has been promoted tn chief of staff of the fifth army In Chicago. "I'm not here to say 'goodbye.' because I'll really never leave the division." said General Jim. "I'll al v.ays be here in spirit." And for about five minutes he told them tn simple soldierly lan guage what lt had meant to him tr. be their leader. He said that their division "will never die." and that what they had done in lis nrme gave them an immortality too. When he finished, there wasn't a man In the room who wouldn't i wlllinglv H-ve followed him off to another war. Iiil flM.
