NeuV, Secret, Jet-Propelled
Plane In Production Soon

Washington, Jan. 7-(UP)-The
imminent prospect of New super
planes capable of travelling between
500 and 600 miles an hour-and
especially Of radically new war
planes that may hasten victory
was raised today with the official
announcement that q secret, jet
propelled Allied fighter soon will be
in production.
Existence Of the new fighter was
disclosed last night by the U. s.
army air forces and the Royal air
force in q joint announcement that
gave no specific data on speed,
range and altitude. But 1t said that
several hundred successful flights
with the propeller-less planes al
ready had been made here and
abroad, many Of them at high
attitudes and extreme speed and all
without a single mishap."
While the announcement care
fully avoided mention of exact
spedes, the London Daily Mail said
the new plane probably would have
Q horizontal speed OF between 500
and 600 hiles an hour. few, II any.
current propeller type planes have
attained that range. although they
have exceeded 1t in vertical dives.
The principle Of Jet propulsion on
which the new fighter plane works
differs from the Rocket principle,
although mere are many resem-
blances, including the absence Of q
propeller. Jet propulsion involves
compression, heating and expansion
Of air mixed with fuels whereas
rockets carry their cornhustible
oxygen In the fuels. &
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-07

Thus, a jet-propelled machine is
limited to the shakespeare while
a rocket machine theoretically could
move ahead indefinitely and fly off
into space because 1t does not de-
pend on oxygen from the outside.
Both principles are similar in that
they involve the creation of tre-
mendous pressures of energy which,
when released, drive the craft
ahead. The speed depends on the
amount of the energy released at
given time.
The joint Anglo American an
nouncement injected an Allied blow
in the current phase Of the war Of
nerves that began when the Ger
mans introduced Rocket bombs and
began talking OF still another
secret weapon. The statement,
disclosing only enough to give the
enemy something to worry about,
reviewed the development Of the
new engine which originally was Of
British design but perfected with
American collaboration.
Lawrence d. Bell, president of
Bell aircraft, which built the first
meri can jet-psopulsion fighter,
hailed the new plane as an import
ant milestone In history Of science.
He said 1t opened q new chapter
In American aviation history and
proves a new scientific principle
that planes can now ny without
propellers."

airplanes in December, a gain over
the record of 1889 in November but

New Clash In

London, Jan. 7-(UP)-M Military
observers believed today that the
German high commands fear Of i'm
pending disaster in South Russia
may have run afoul Of an order by
Adolf Hitler to give up no position
without a determined fight, thus
precipitating a new clash in the up
per strata of Nazidom.
Professional German soldiers were
reported to feel that a withdrawal
in good order from the Dnieper
Bend might still be possible, but
would not be II the Red army de-
velops its threat to Zhmerinka, juno
ton on the Odessa Warsaw railroad
which must carry the bulk Of the
Nazis out of the pocket.
Experienced analysts suspected
that Hitler's intuition" and the
hard headed realism Of the German
general staff were at odds again.
Hitler was reported to have issued
a flat order a few weeks ago that
nothing was to be given up as
matter Of experience.
Opposed to him we're believed to
be the German military men who
know when to get out while the get
ting is good--as it happened to be
now in the precarious Dnieper bend.

The owl reported today that two

Japanese by the hundreds today IN
a slow, tedious advance toward Bor-

they have encountered since they
landed on Cape Gloucester Deem
Der &c.
Six hundred enemy troops were
killed Tuesday alone, General
Douglas MacArthur's communique
said, boosting the Marines toll of
Japanese since the landing past the
2000-mark.
An official spokesman reported
that the fighting was especially
fierce in the inland jungles, where
thick underbrush and rough terrain
made machine-guns, rifles, bayonetS
grenades and knives the principal
weapons.
On the aerial front, carrier
based American planes made their
third raid since Christmas on Ka-
Vleng, Japanese SCrongnold lou
miles northwest of Rabaul, and
damaged heavily two destroyers
with 1,000-pound bombs and torpe-
does. Eight intercepting enemy
fighters and a bomber were shot
down against a loss OF one Amer

Supplemental Raid
Supplementing the raid on ship

Detroit, Jan. 7.-(UP)-Gov. John
w. Bricker of Ohio launched his
drive for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination today with brist-
ling attack upon the New Deal and
an assertion that win the-war" be-
came the motto of every real
American" when the Japanese
bombed Pearl Harbor.
The three-term Ohio executive,
addressing 1000 Wayne County (De-
troit) Republicans. took cognizance
of President Roosevelt's recent
statement favoring substitution of a
"Win-the-Wa slogan for the term
New Deal, first used by Mr.. Roose-
welt in 1892.
Every American citizen today has
the right to resent any political
leadership that assumes to take unto
itself credit for winning the war"
Bricker said THE motto Win
the-War' became the motto OF every
real Americna on December 18th,
194l, and it must be the motto OF all
until the day of victory is here"
In his first speech to political
group since he announced his can
