General Eisenhower says he as no pO-
litical ambitions His known character
and past acts. even more than his vigOr-
Gus words, proclaim that he means it.
Such a disclaimer, more than just be-
cOmngly modest. reveals good sense and
a knowledge of history. For General Ike
no doubt had in mind both the occasional
tendency of men successful in one field
of endeavOr TO view themselves as pO-
tential experts in another. and the fact
that the record of professional soldiers
in politics does not encourage thought
less emulation.
The generals remark was prompted by
a question concerning his rumOred ap
pOintment to a purely civilian and pO-
litical office. We are confident, how
ever, that he would be receptive to serv-
ice in high posts which call for a states
manlke outlook in addition to military
background. There are several such
jobs in the offing: Chief of staff, in
case General Marshall should succeed
Admiral Leahy, as has been rumored;
member of the military staff committee
of the United Nations; overall COM
mander of American forces in the grand
assault on Japan.
For these Jobs and few others, Ike,
we could write you a pretty good letter
of recommendation,

BYRkES BECOMES FIFTH
NEW CABINET MEMBER

When the senate Monday confirmed
the appointment of James F. Byrncs as
secretary Of state, President Truman
had five Of his own appOintees in his Off
cial family.
BYrnes was confirmed almost imme-
diatelY after the President submitted the
fOrmer senator's name, a procedure not
usually adopted. Byrnes always had
been popular with his colleagues Mem
bers on both sides Of the chamber spoke
spontaneously as to his ability and in
tegrity But his confirmation, without
gong through the process of committee
consideration was tribute to the new
appOlnte2 as a man as much as acknOWl-
cdgment of his ability
The procedure was in vivid contrast to
the action in the case of Henry A. Wal
lace, who had presided over the senate
as vice president. Before the senators
would give their approval as secretary e
commerce, they had stripped him Of all
the lending powers held by his predeces-
SOr.
Acceptance Of Byrnes reflects the ma
ior party's approval of the new secre-
tarY as president Of the United States
Until congress adopts Truman's new
succession act, ByrneS is next in line to
fill the office of chief executive in case
Of a vacancy. And naturally, ByrneS is
Truman's choice at present as his sue
CeSSOr.
In addition to his long service in con
greSS ByrneS has filled several highly
responsible and important governmental
costs He was taken from the supreme
court bench to become war demobilza-
tson director, and in fact, first counsel
lbr to the White House. Thus he comes
to the cabinet as man of wide exper-
ience in governmental affairs and adds
to that asset the fact that he gets along
well with congress; an asset of much
value at this time.
Members Of the cabinet now who were
there when Truman took office are Sec
retary Of the Interior Ickes, Secretary of
t@i2 Treasury Morgenthau, Secretary Of
Commerce Wallace, Secretary of War
StimsOn and Secretary of the Navy For
EeStal
Of these Ickes is the only member who
was named by Roosevelt in 1888.
The west is making a strong bid fer
another member if and when Ickes quits.
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming is the
man, and observers pretty we'll agree the
change will take place soon.

over Germany, have not been pre-
viously released.
Putt said the device was designed
to cut down fight fatigue. It Is 8
inches long, equipped with an arm
rest for the pilots comfort. The
stick is so infinitely geared it can
be moved with one finger and con-
trolls electrical components beneath
1t which operate ailerons, elevators
and rudder.
It is connected to the automatic
pilot and automatically centers it.

able to stay in formation with a

Gas Turbine for
Air EngineSeen
Engineer Predicts a Wider
Use for Long Range
Plane Transport.

NEW YORK. - Compact and
super-powerful gas turbines driving
propellers may have a wider appli-
cation than jet propulsion for the
big long range air transport planes
Of the future, according to engineers
Of General Electric.
This prediction, along with analy-
sis Of the most attractive applica-
tions for several new combinations
Of aircraft motive power, was made
by S. r. Puffer and ]. S. Afford in
technical paper titled 1.-THE Gas
Turbine In Aviation-Its Past and
Future" presented before members
Of the American Society Of Mechani-
cal Engineers.
High speed jet propulsion, accord
ing to the engineers, may be rela-
lively expensive for single flights Of
approximately 500 miles. For great
er distances, the cost becomes high
er but could be justified on the basis
Of faster service. These conclusions
were based on several assumptions,
among them the use of fuel cheaper
than high octane gasoline would be
used. For flights not greatly in ex-
cess of 500 miles, the cost of jet
propulsion transport Is only slightly
higher than that Of present day
transport, the engineers said.
Most Likely Fields.
The most likely fields for the diff
ferent engines and combinations of
engines, according to the engineers,
follow:
For the utmost, in speed, disre-
garding other considerations, jet
propulsion is by far the best per-
former.
The gas-turbine-propeller combi-
nation provides power plant which,
on account of its low specific weight,
gives a performance approaching
that of the jet unit except at very
high speeds, but with much better
range.
For operation at extreme alti-
tudes, the present internal combus-
ton engine, equipped with mod
ern turbosupercharger and properly
utilizing the exhaust gas through a
jet, is nearly equal to the jet propul-
sion unit in speed and far surpasses
it in climb.
All Of the design and operating
advantages obtained in the G-E jet
engines will carry over in the case
of gas turbine driving a propeller,
according to Puffer and Afford.
Such features as simplicity, mini
mum Of vibration, for example, will
also characterize the gas turbine
power plants.
All High Attitudes.
Performance Of the gas turbine
does not decrease at high attitudes
as much as might be expected, &C.
cording to the engineers. They ex-
planned that while the power or
thrust output does decrease with de-
creasing air density, the cold air at
high attitudes which has favorable
effect on the overall gas turbine
output partially makes up for the
lack of supercharging.
The engineers said that most pro-
peller type turbines, particularly
those designed for use in high-speed
planes where jet can be used eff
fectively, will get their power both
from the propeller drive and the jet.
They said that a favorable ratio for
the two was about rs per cent tur-
bine and Is per cent jet, although
the amount delivered by the jet
could be adapted to suit the require
ments of the plane on which the
power plant is installed.
