New Launching Plan May
Bring Mid Ocean Airports

NAVAL AIR TEST CENTER,
.PATUXENT RIVER, Md, Oct. B.
lP-A new airplane launching de-
vice that its sponsors hope nay
make possible the construction Of
airports on roof tops and in mid
ocean was demonstrated by the Ma
Wy Thursday.
The device, called zebra" is a
catapult thatlaunching pitoless mis-
siles, such as buzz bombs, and air.
craft after a short takeoff. Navy
and other engineers said it is pot
entially capable Of launching huge
airliners from small, rooftop fields
in mid-city, and large bombers
from tiny ocean bases.
Port of New York authorities wit
messed the demonstration, with the
hope it might help solve some New
York airport problems Of space
and speed.
John Kyle, assistant to the chief
engineer of the port Of New York,
said lit has possibilities" but won't
solve the immediate New York
problem because OF landing as well
as launching considerations.
The new device later may be
adapted to landings as well as
launchings, engineers said. This is
necessary if it is to be used on
rooftop fields.
The new launcher is a small cleo
trio a that travels at speeds up
to 220 miles per hour on a track.
The plane, bomb or. pilotless
craft intended for launching is at
tached to Zebra" by a cable.
Starting with a comparatively
gentle pull, Zebra Thursday towed
Navy single-engine craft for about
200 feet and then launched them
intot he air at speeds of about 100
miles per hour. The planes were
launched when ''Zbra" stopped and
slipped the tow cable from the
plane, ZEBRA is controlled by an
operator under the landing strip.
Without takeff assistance the
planes used Thursday would have
required about 1000 feet of run
way, Navy officers said.
The Navy has launched planes as
heavy as the BPS, weighing about
80, 900 pounds, with Zebra. M. F.
Jones, PROTECT engineer for the
Electric corporation (Westing-
housed that designed the catapult,
said it can be made to launch air
llnersor bombers weighing up to
Big size, or even up to a Flying
wing" that weighs 200, 900 pounds.

For hit-and-Run Death
BY the kssceiosed Press

SAN DIEGO, Calf. Aug. "a
George White, 50, whose theatrical
Scandals made him famous, pre-
pared today to serve year in the
San Diego County Jail road camp
for killing newlywed couple in a
"hit-and-run" highway accident
near here July 20.
The producer, who was sentenced
yesterday after being denied pro-
baton on his plea of guilty to the
'hit-and-run felony charge, was al
lowed until tomorrow noon to ar
range his affairs before starting the
sentence.
He was fined 5000, which his at
torney, John Holt, said would be
paid by Bobbie Garcia, former
Marine who said he was grateful
for articles sent to him by White
when Mr.. Garcia was a japanese
prisoner.
Mr.. Holt described White as "a
man who once was rich and famous
but who now is poor and penniless. "
The probation officers report quoted
White as saying his cash savings
now amounted to only $3.50.
Superior Judge Joe L. Shell, who
could have sent White to State pri-
son for from one to five years, said
he would have been inclined to grant
probation except for the theater
mans insistence he went to sleep at
the wheel and did not know he had
hit the couple-Claude McLester
Lee, AZ, and his bride, Leona, 18.
