Carrier Test's

Navy Pilots Mark Up First
Successful Sea Maneuvers
ABOARD USS BOXER. AT SEA.
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.

To bolster the team's morale
enough so they'll come home from
the tournament state basketball
champs, the student body assem
bled in the auditorium today at
11:25. Georgiarma Clark emceed the
assembly which Included several
numbers from the band and
speeches by Coach Wayne Scott and
Team Captain Don Zarosinski. En
tertainment came in the form of
Loren Stroud, doing a couple of tap
numbers, and some "acting up" by
the yell squad.

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."
