Lieut. Robert Morgan, 26.year-old
experimental flicr in His MajeSty'S
Fleet Air Arm, is the father Of the
idea, which ne conceived after pilot
ing the fastest aircraft developed for
the British Navy. His belief is that if
man can whir through the skies at
high speed there is no reason why he
can't do the same on the ground
For the last three years, between
playing hop-scotch with clouds in
such mcrCurial combat planes as the
Fjrcfly, Morgan has been working
with blueprints of his eight-anda-
mile-a-minute one.wheel marvel.

Reputable engineers consider his
idea sound and they are putting up
the money-around S40,000-to pro
duce the first one.ton model. 1t will
operate on the principle of the Ger
mans w rocket weapon, but with
improvements. Jet propulsion, fea-
ture of the most recent planes, will
be employed.
The car looks like a squat air
plane fuSelage which is built around
a gigantic wheel y feet in diameter.

Soper's cold little eyes practically
lost themselves in suspicious wrin-

She didn't say you sent her TO look

Craig shot a glance at Drue.
