De Havinand Crashed
Against '5upersonic
WALL, Experts Think
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 28.-Aeronautics
experts theorized today that Geof-
frey de Hsvilland may have crashed
his uper-streamlined experimental
jet plane last night against 'su-
personic wall"--a resistance of the
air built up by the planes own
speed.
The plane exploded in the air
over the Thames Estuary, witnesses
said, when De Havilland Britain's
Nc | test pilot, was giving it a
final check before attempting a new
world speed record There was specu-
lation that he may have approached
The speed Of sound. and the Daily
Express asked was this the first
air wall accident?"
De Havilland, 81, son of the Brit
ish plane manufacturer, Sir Geof-
frey de Havilland, was presumed
dead.
Officials Await Probe.
ofNiiiiiSh1 CApCltS, IOWcNcI. Te-
fused to speculate on the cause of
the accident.
1T will be possible to comment
usefully only after the most thor
ough investigation and minute
examination of whatever pieces are
found one of these authorities said
The De Havilland Co in a state
ment said the pilot in test flights
during the past two weeks had
flown the "whisting boomerang, a
Swallow speedster with swept back
wings, "at true level speeds consid-
erablv in excess of the world record
speed Of GIG miles per hour"
ON this last flight the state
ment said, "his purpose was to en-
brace al the conditions which he
might expect to encounter on the
actual course. including flying at
still higher speeds than he had
achieved up to then" -
The 'supersonic wall" is a the
oretical barrier of air. At the speed
OF sound. it was theorized, the air
in front of plane might form a
solid wall against which a plane
would break into bits.
Fragments Taken From Sea.
De Havilland's plane crashed In
fragments strewn over a half mile
radius.
Police, troops. German prisoners
of war and others searching the
desolate salt flats and estuary pulled
half dozen fragments of the Swal-
low from the sea.
Wreckage. which may be the nose
and the cockpit containing De Hav-
Hands body, were sighted this
afternoon. but additional search was
halted by rising tide and darkness
A police message said body wear
ing a green flying suit was sighted
offshore from Gravesend Airport
last night, but the area was searched
without result
The plane was powered by a gi-
gantic 3,500-horsepower new Goblin
turboiet engine when it set out on
the test flight preliminary to an
assault on the world record set by
Capt. E. M. Donaldson in his Meteor
plane September 7.
De Havilland was quoted by the
Daily Mail as saying recently that
"at the speeds we are now reaching
we are up against the unknown. As
we push speed up still further, any,
thing can happen to plane"
Since 1888 he had insisted on f1y-
ing all his company's experimental
models. including the Flamingo,
Mosquito, Sea Mosquito. Hornet, Sea
Hornet, Vampire, jet propelled
fighter, Dove airliner and the DH-
108 Swallow.

To go on with our asparagus
cookery as outlined last week, We'll
take up some really top recipes for
asparagus, both hot and cold
Granted that you have cooked the
asparagus as we suggested on Fri
day, let's see what happens next.
First, here's a typicaly French
method of serving. Offer each
guest a portion of cooked, drained
asparagus. With the vegetable
pass little cups or bowls filled with
chopped hard cooked eggs and
melted butter spiked with lemon
juice, salt and freshly ground black
pepper. If you like, a very little
chopped chives may be included
Each diner dips his asparagus into
this sauce and eats the stalks hap
PLY from his fingers.
Then there is the Chaufroid of
Asparagus. Take some steamed as
paragus, drain it we'll and chill it
lightly. Mask the bottom of a
mould with a good aspic and ar
range a row of asparagus stalks
neatly around the inside of the
mould. Now mix together y pint
OF good Bechamel Sauce or Nous
selaine Sauce you'll find recipes for
both in your standard cook books
with the same quantity of aspic,
season with salt and pepper and
let cool a bit. Dip other asparagus
stalks in this, until well-coated
and arrange upright in the mould
Now put all on ice to become very
firm. When ready to serve, dip the
mould into warm water, turn out
and garnish with chopped aspic.
Then there are asparagus TIPS all

One of the incest combinations is
good fresh loaf Of homemade date
and nut bread with smooth cream
cheese. This can pinch hit as a
dessert in our home any time, plus
bit of fresh fruit. But it is espe-

sandwiches, as the bread stays moist
and the pairing of the nutritious
bread and the cream cheese makes

Easter does not seem like Easter
unless there are gayly decorated
eggs on hand to celebrate in the
traditional manner Everybody, old
and young alike, can join in the fun.
The little tots always love good
hunt, SO don't disappoint them
Plan to have one on Easter morn
ing. You will be delighted when
you see the shining eyes of the
youngsters and see their happiness
as they start out in search of the
treasure. And, of course, prize
goes to the child who finds the most
eggs.
Later in the day there will be
more fun at the egg-rolling contest
that is sure to develop when the
children in the neighborhood get
together.
It's so easy to color these hard
boiled eggs, too, that there's no ex-
cuse for not having plenty around
for fun. And the older children
will enjoy helping with the Job.
They can do it alone, too, only you'll
