JET Age Of Air War
And 1000 MPH Speet
Just Over Horizon
Latest Engine Revealed
By Army to Newsmen
At Wright Field

Stor Sioff Correspondent

WRIGHT FIELD, Ohio, June 4.
The Jet age of air war, with
battling planes zooming through
the high troposphere (substrat-
osphere) at speeds of 1000 miles
an hour, is just over the horizon.
Already the newest fighters can
maneuver at speeds of 10 miles q
minute, but they are considered here
as only crude beginnings of what
will be available in the near future
Glimpses Of this strange coming
age of air battles were given cor
respondents at the Army's great ex-
perimental air base here today
Among the developments described
for high speed, high altitude fight
ing flight was the RAM jet engine
which was pictured as "a stove pipe
with a fire in 1.-THE ultimate in
simplicity with no moving parts and
no need for fabrication. It already
has been tested on existing Air Force
planes here and probably can be
used for pilotless and piloted air.
craft designed to fly faster than the
speed of sound. It's only competitor
is the rocket.

Also described was the J-33 JET
engine which was used in an Army
P-8O which recently crossed the con-
tinent in little more than -four
hours

planes and the supersonic aircraft
were withheld.
The announcements were made tc
a national press conference at the
vast Army research and development
center here as Maj. Gen. Curtis E
LIE May, deputy chief of air staff
and other high-ranking officers
made one of their strongest pleas tc
date for construction of a $500, ,OOO,-
600 development center to be used
by the services and aircraft industry
The jet bombers will be known a.
XB-45, XB-46, xB-47, XB-48 ano
xB-49. They will be powered by
multijet engines. North American
Aviation is making the B-45, Con.
solidated Vultee Aircraft the Bat
and Boeing Aircraft the BAT ano
B-48.
Northrop Aircraft is making the
Bag, a jet version of the famous
B-35 flying wing.
The two jet fighters are the North
American XP-86 and the Curtiss-
Wright XP-87.
Near Perpetual Motion.
This engine is about the nearest

impeller sucking in huge gasps of air
forcing it under great pressure into
a series of combustion chambers en-
circling the engine and producing
expanding hot gases which push the
plane like skyrocket.
The engine is almost frictionless,
but engineers predicted that this
ideal will be approached much closer
in new designs which still are off
the record. The device develops
5000 horsepower at 470 miles per
hour.

|Bevin Tells Reds
|For Peace Now
Free Russian Entry
Into Settlements
Held Necessary
By the Associated Press

LONDON, June Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin ad-
dressed a warning appeal to
Russia today that "if you value
peace above all, do not miss it
1t may never come again."
The blunt diplomat, opening a
foreign policy debate in the House
OF Commons, declared that perma-
nent peace in Europe can be guar
anteed only if Russia enters freely
into the European settlement
The debate will continue for two
days. The new American Ambas-
sador to Britain, w. Averell Harri-
man, sat in the gallery.
Backs Byrnes Proposal.
Mr.. Bevin appealed to the United
States to remain undaunted by the
Russian rejection of Secretary OF
State Byrnes' proposal for a 25-year
treaty to keep Germany and Japan
disarmed, saying:
The rest of us in Europe, at least
not only welcome this proposal but
look upon it as giving the greatest
possible hope for the removal o1
misunderstanding and the creation
of confidence. II was matter
of profound regret to witness the
way 1t was received by the Soviet
representatives at the recent con.
ference of leading Foreign Minis.
ters at Paris.
IF I can make one great appeal
to the United States" he said, lit
is this: Do not be daunted by the
first refusal, due, in my view, to un-
justified suspicion.
Mr.. Bevin expressed regret that
"all through Russian speeches and
writings" runs the Idea that the
Russian methods alone represent
democracy and that certain other
systems are either Fascist or cryptic

Opposes Reds on Trieste.
Urging Russia to accept Mr
Byrnes' proposal of a four-power
watch over Germany for quarter
century, Mr.. Bevin said:
II should have thought four

and honesty between us would create
a situation far more secure than
harnessing few satellite states as
a buttress against aggression
He expressed opposition to the
Russian insistence that Trieste be
taken from Italy and given to Yugo.
slavia, saying the Adriatic city
must be an international port.
He called for a swift opening o1
Danube River shipping, peace
treaty with Austria and federal
control of Germany as whole ma
ton.
Mr.. Bevin declared that if the
four leading foreign ministers coulo
not agree on peace treaties at the
June IS meeting in Paris, he would
insist on submitting the treaties tc
a conference of all the 81 nations
involved.
I'VE cannot go on in a state Of
war forever" he explained.
He said it was an 'intolerable
situation" to say to the other coun-
tries who fought actively in the wal
that you must 60 on in a state OF
war forever because we four gen.
tlemen cannot agree"
Great "ObstacIe to Peace"
Referring to Soviet opposition tC
other forms Of democracy, he said
This is one of the greatest OBJ
stacles to peace"
Mr.. Bevin said he had always re-
garded as a tragedy the fact that
Russia did not participate in the
making of Europe's peace after the
First World War
"On the other hand, the United
States fought in the last war, tool
part in the peace making and ther
withdrew into isolation" he re.

Having lived outside the United States for
more than six years now, I find it very difficult
to understand the urgency of such questions

Willingness to modify demands

Mr.. Malone said the meeting was a

Originally the union asked 40.

Employers said this would be ar
"insupportable burden" making il
impossible for American ships tt
