SEATTLE. - N. D. Showalter,
chief of flight test for Boeing Air
craft company, predicts military
flight at attitudes from 10000 to
o0,OOO feet-more than nine miles
above sea level-'for the near
future"
The forecast, made at a Boeing-
sponsored symposium on high-alti-
tude flight, established five mile alti-
tudes as at present practical

travel.

tudes ranging from 10000 to $4,000

The vast testing and development

ter said, and provided an altitude

ing levels.

quate experience for commercial

1--WE believe that an entirely ap-
propriate altitude margin is pro-
vided by the background and ex-
perience at and above $4,000 feet"
Showalter cited his company's 10
year program on substratosphere
research and development, and out
lined the tests designed to "build an
adequate altitude margin into the
airplane."
Boeing flight crews, he said, have
spent more than 1900 hours above
5000 feet and conducted more fly
ing at 10000 feet or higher than all
the rest of man collectively" The
program has been carried on dur
ing the last five years in connection
with army air forces.
About $50 man-hours, aside from
mechanical work on equipment,
have been spent for each flight hour
in the conducting of tests and COM
of data, he said.

Costing 10000 Jobs

The House today is expected
to pass the independent offices
appropriations bill, which would

in Washington.
There was no prospect that any
changes would be ordered in the
House Appropriations Committees
action last week in cutting the meas
ure $33o,54o,732 below President
TTuman's budget requests.
Even Democrats on the committee
said the bill offered no opportunity
for major amendments. But they
were critical of the Republican
