u. ). Rocket Plane
Tops Speed Of Sound ;
Magazine Reports
by Yhs Assoeiotsd Press

An American plane is reported
to have flown faster than sound
The magazine Aviation Week says
In its issue dated today that the
Bell XS-l, an experimental rocket
craft, has pierced the so-called
sonic barrier on several occasions
during the last month at Muroc
Air Base, Calf.
Marvin Miles, aviation writer for
the Los Angeles Times, also wrote
today that he had learned from
reliable sources" that the long
sought speed had been attained.
Col. S. A. Gilkie, commandant OF
the Muroc base. neither confirmed
nor denied the reports.
Secretary of Defense Forrestal has
issued an order forbidding official
disclosure of progress in high-speed
fight.
The speed of sound generally is
stated at 760 miles an hour, This
is based on a temperature OF So
degrees Fahrenheit at sea level.
1t varies up to 100 miles an hour
in either direction as the tempera-
ture rises or falls.
The magazine said the FIRST
faster than sound flight was made
by Capt. Charles Yaeger and has
been duplicated several times by
Capt. Yaeger and two other test
pilots of the National Association
of Aeronautics, the Governments
top research agency.
Robert H. Wood, editor OF Avia-
ton Week, said he had withheld
publication of the story for sew
eral weeks at the request Of Air
Force officials. He told reporter
the understanding was that the Air
Force also would withhold publi-
cation
Mr.. Wood said he decided to re-
lease the story after learning the
Air Force was preparing news
release on the XS-1's record. An
Air Force spokesman said no such
release is in preparation.
The Bell XS-l is powered by four
rockets. It is launched from the
belly of a four-engine B-29 bomber.
When the XS-1 was first an
nounced, the Air Force said 1t was
expected eventually to reach a speed
of 1,70O miles an hour.

Mr.. Truman asked, few of his party
colleagues share his view.
In both the Senate and House
most Republican reaction to the
Marshall plan indicates that Con-
gress is almost sure to handle it on
-to-year basis instead of
authorizing $1,000 100000 or any
other amount for four years all at
one time.
The one point on which most law
makers of both parties agree is that
something must be done for Europe
to keep that continent from being
engulfed by communism.
Connecticut's two Senators lndi-
Gated that agreement in radio
broadcast yesterday.
Democratic Senator Mcmahon
said help must be swift under the
Marshall plan to prevent "all of Eu-
rope from coming under the domi-
nance of Russia
Republican Senator Baldwin said
the alternative to helping the Is
non-communiSt nations of Western
Europe might be the spending of
$66, 900, ,O0O, 900 a year for national
