BY MEARES HARRISS

The announcement yesterday of
an attack on an Allied bomber
flight by a sizeable force of the
new German jet and rocket planes
has led to considerable conjec-
ture regarding their appearance
and speed,
Of the many enemy expert
ments in this field, the rocket
driven Messerschmidtt ME-163
and the jet-propelled ME-262 seem
to be the most outstanding.
In fact, enemy fighters are ap-
preaching the speed of sound in
level flight, which the Allies have
announced achieving only in long
dives.
The ME-163, according to the
first pilots to see one at close
range, is very small for a fighter;
the wing spread being thirty feet
or less. 1t mas no horizontal tail
surfaces and simplicity of design
lends it to cheap mass production.
Its range is limited because of the
high rate Of consumption of the
rocket fuel but a high rate of
speed, 600 miles plus, makes it
formidable interceptor. The ME-
1853 has a distinctive bat-like ap-
pearance. The rocket motor is
used to climb above approaching
bombers and is then shut off and
the attack is made in glide. They
are reported extremely maneuv-
cradle.
The Messerschmitt ME-262
fighter with twin jet engines is
somewhat larger than the ME-163
and has considerably more range
but its speed is reported some
what slower though still substan-
tally higher than the fastest Al
lied fighters and possibly, twice
that of the numbering bombers.

1914 Mortality Rate
In D. T.. From Polio
Lower Than in 1941

Health Officer George C. Rutland
reported yesterday that while the
1914 infantile paralysis epidemic
was the greatest on record in the
District. the mortality rate was
lower than in previous outbreaks
and the percentage of nonparalytic
cases higher.
The mortality rate last year was
ST. per cent among the 1874 victims
Of the disease here. 1t was 6.6 in
ls4l, the time of the last large out
break.
More Nonparalytic.
DR.. Rutland said that only "a per
cent OF the cases in 1941 were non-
paralytic, while 433 per cent were
nonparalytic in 1914, due to more
accurate diagnosis of suspected
cases. The lower mortality rate was
attributed to the greater percentage
OF nonparalytic cases rather than to
a milder form of the diseases.
Although one-third of the victims
had been in swimming pools, at the
SeaShore or in summer camps within
three weeks before illness, DR.. Ruh-
land said there did not seem to be
any archaeological evidence to in
iicate any relationship between
winning and poliomyelitis."
While in July the outbreak was
altered throughout the city, DIR.
Inland said that later they were

most numerous In certain parts Of
the Northeast and Southeast sec
tions. About one third Of the popu-
lation Of the city is located in the
Northeast and Southeast sections,
but Sc per cent of the cases were re-
ported from these areas" He added:
1.-THE Anacostia area had
At cases. The area east of North
and South Capitol streets, between
Florida avenue and the Anacostia
River, also had a comparatively large
number of cases, AZ. There were
a comparatively small number of
cases from the Western part of the
city, that part west of Rock Creek
Park"
