KARRE KAARSTAD
i'm his rubber suit ..

WASHINGTON, Aug. % (UP).
"A scholarly Norwegian seaman
today demonstrated the virtues of
a bulky rubber suit which kept
him warm, dry and unsuitable AZ
days while he and eight shipmates
drifted along the Gulf stream to-
ward the Azores after their ship
had been torpedoed in the At
lantic.
Kaare Kaarstad, bespectacled
37-year-old ships electrician, put
on the 3012 pound American-made
rubber garment and paraded about
the Norwegian legation for the
benefit Of reporters and photogra-
pliers.
The garment, known as a waco
suit" is kept by each seaman's
bunk ready to be put on at mo-
ments notice like a fireman's
night hitch. Kaarstad explained.
il lacks in style it makes
up for i'm efficiency, he said.
Made of a dark rubber COM
pound, the waco suit covers the
entire body except the face and
is completely watertight. Heavy
lead weights are placed in each
boot so that If the suit should be
ripped and water pour in, the &C.
could shed the garment
merely by loosening it around his
shoulders.
Although Kaarstad wore his
suit almost constantly during the
as days he was adrift on a small
raft, he only actually used it in
the water a short time after the
torpedoing while he was helping
to round up other survivors.
After that. he said, he swan
about an hour every day for ex-
ercise but left the suit aboard the
raft.

ally eliminated by the fall Of

Self-Lubricating Metals.

Among scores of startling innovations,
there may be mentioned self-lubricating
metals, developed in the Chrysler lab
oratories light and low alloy steels, to
compensate for scarcity of aluminium and
hardening metals, particularly nickel;
substitution of laminated wood, plastics,
fabrics and plywood for metal in aircraft
construction. wholly new class of
plane carriers, elaborated by the Navy,
and General Electric's sensational appli-
cation of high-frequency modulation to
combat functions. Not to be overlooked
are machines of mathematical virtuosity,
which in moment perform calcula-
tions of profoundest complexity going
SO far as to include allowances for the
earth's rotation.
That necessity is still the mother OF
invention has been illustrated dra-
matically in the case of pursuit planes.
For lack of fighters and interceptors
the Western Pacific was lost. Because
of their normal round-trip range of ap-
proxima:ely 1000 miles, no other method
was believed practicable for distant de-
liveries except to ship them on slow sur
face vessels, which were not available
in adequate numbers and subject to at
tack from sky and under sea. Experts
had argued that development of long
range fighter planes must await the
discovery of a fuel lighter than gasoline
But it was essential that pursuit
planes be supplied at>once to critical
military areas, and American cleverness
devised more than one way. The touring
correspondents learned that certain
famous type of fighter plane is flying
regularly, under its own power and in
large numbers, to transoceanic stations
They were assured that in few months
it will be possible tor pursuit planes to
travel by air to any part Of the globe.
Perhaps this innovation was not uncon-
nected with Admiral Kings suggestion
that RECONNAISSANCE planes from Mid
