Boeing Strato- cruiser Completes Maiden Flight


 ing stratocruiser, the worlds larg- est, fastest and most luxurious postwar airliner, successfully completed its maiden flight last week.
 The 6719-ton airplane thrilled engineers. and other spectators when it landed to a full stop in 1900 feet, approximately one sixth the length of the 1000 foot runway. Using the same reversi- ble pitch propellors which made this short landing possible, Boe- ing test pilot John B. Fornasero, then backed the huge airplane off the runway and taxied directly across the field to the parking strip.
 "The flight was uneventful and highly satisfactory" Fornasero de- clared.
 ''We are well pleased with the airplane and will immediately continue with the flight test pro- gram" Wellwood E. Beall, Boeing vice-president in charge. of engin- eering and sales, announced after post-flight conference with Fornasero, co-pilot Robert T.. Lamson and N. D. Showalter, the company's chief of flight test.
 "This successful maiden flight leads us to believe company tests will proceed rapidly and should make possible an early start of CAA certification flight tests" Beall added.
 Taking to the air only six days after it was rolled from the Boe- ing factory, the new queen of the airlanes remained aloft one hour and twenty-four minutes. With a gross takeoff weight of 100000 35,O00 lbs less than its maximum gross-the Stratocruiser used only 140O feet of runway before be- coming airborne.
 Using only partial power, For nasero cruised the 340-mile-an- hour Stratocruiser an average of 260 m.p.h., and reached an alti- tude of 11,000 feet on its first flight.
 Fitted with approximately a ton of special testing equipment, the new airliner will immediately begin an exhaustive series of flight tests. This equipment re- places the luxurious interior furn- ishings to be found in later Strato- cruisers on the world routes of Pan American World Airways, Scandinavian Airlines System, Northwest Airlines, American Overseas Airlines, United Air Lines and the British Overseas Airways System. The second Stratocruiser, to be completed within the next month, will have test equipment installed similar to that in the ship which flew re- gently. The two airplanes will be flown concurrently in the compre- hensive evaluation and certifica- ton program. When it enters commercial service later this year, the Boeing Stratocruiser will bring new standard of comfort, speed, and operating efficiency to the air ways. Highlights among its many features are:

Upsha,o To Speak
To Christ Youth
Tomorrow EUening

Continuing his rapid success
sion Of inspiring addresses in
Key West, William d. Upshaw,
known as the BILLY Sunday Of
Congress" when he was a Georgia
Representative, will speak to-
morrow night at the Youth for
Christ rally in the Fleming
Street Methodist Church.
Sunday afternoon he will speak
at a city-wide meeting to be held
in the First Methodist (Old
Stone) Church at 4 o'clock.
Upshaw's topic tomorrow eve
ming will be The Beauty of
Youth" The former Congress
man, known as Americas
Greatest Apostle to Youth" has
achieved widespread popularity
with young and old through his
dynamic addresses.
His Sunday afternoon topic
will be "The Home, Foundation
of Civilization"--His most sue
cessful and potent message.
UpshaW's appearance at the
First Methodist Church is es-
pecially significant since he
spoke there 81 years ago, when
he was on his first honeymoon.
This time he is more or less on
a second honeymoon. The 30
year-old orator, who looks and
acts many years younger, has
been married to his 56-year old
wife only three months.

TRAINING:
Hearings Begin

Although congress is scheduled to
adjourn July %, the senate armed

But in formal statement the
committee added that if a report
cannot be made ready by July %,
it will attempt to have report pre-
pared for congress when it con-
venes again.
Decision of the senate group was
reached as the Very Rev. Edmund

ing commission, told house COM
mittee that 1.-The politburo in Mos

The 1947 strawberry crop is esti-

Was there greater plan lying
behind this program for aid to
stricken countries - the program
outlined by Secretary Marshall a,
Harvard? The question was asked
although we knew 'that even If the
secretary had a vision wider than
ours, he could not reveal it-yet.
His answer, frank enough under
the circumstances and not unexpect-
ed, was that if there was some fur
ther plan behind the one already
revealed piecemeal. he was not 60
ing to talk about it.
He did reveal that Russia was
not outside the pale Of Amer
ica's rehabilitation efforts - in
theory at least. This was sur
prising to some who had stud
led President Truman's, Mar
shalPs and Ben COhen's most
recent statements, and yet not
so surprising as we recalled the
nature of other talks. not pub
lie, which had limited at larger
things.
Is this a real effort to achieve a
fair understanding with Russia?

word.)

spoken words of the secretary OF

me, might bear within it a vital,

This new word of mine (which
Marshall might have used, had
he known it, is "peacefare."

It was used in paragraph of a
letter to the editor" in the New
York Times. The writer was A M
Meerloo, wartime chief of the psy-
Geological branch of the Dutch war
ministry and member of the inter
Allied psychological study group in
England. This is the paragraph:
''In those (wartine) days, when
the success or failure of the war
was at stake, psychologists and spe-
cialists in allied fields mobilized ev-
cry weapon at their command to
wage psychological warfare. Why
cannot we now, when the peace is
at stake, mobilize as carefully for
psychological peacefare?
All right, there you have it
"peacefare." Not simply psyche
logical" peacefare now, but econom-
ic and political and moral peace
fare. That is what am hoping and
praying the unspoken plan of Secre-
tary Hull will embody.
A hard, long, expensive campaign.
But one launched not against any
body but for everybody; campaign
to stop war to save humanity.
I say everybody" because Mar.
shall pointed out that he envisioned
Russia as a part of this plan for
the economic rehabilitation of Eu-
rope. Without this economic re.
habilitation, there can be no re-
habilitation of the body polite or the
body (and souD moral.
1t must be a campaign TO ban
ish fear-fear of the atomic
bomb which we possess fOrsthe
moment; fear of the far more
terrible weapons of destruction
that any madman might put to
use.
1t is a campaign to Danish the
hate bred by fear. A campaign to
nourish the body so that bodily
things may be forgotten and man
may pursue his spiritual destiny to-
ward freedom, toward decency. to-
ward a world where the major eff
fort is dedication to the common
good.
Nothing like this has ever been
attempted before. Nations have
loaned money for the purpose of
earning a neat dividend or to wiring
some political advantage from an
impecunious princeling or bankrupt
government. Many fair promises
and high sounding ideals have been
written into covenants signed only to
be broken when opportunism die
tated a reverse English.
But here is something new and
different. Something rather bright
and idealistic has been added, what
we hope is an honest effort to wage
peacefare, to outroot the malice of
the few, in the spirit of charity to-
ward all
1t may be all eyewash, l know.
I've seen lot of castles fall. But
my feeling is that if we get out of
the scoffer's seat for a moment,
if we drop the cynic pose and put
peacefare into the national vocabu-

nuts.
Farmers from the North and
Northwest have consistently ap-
posed federal subsidies, and senti-
ment was reported to be growing
among the producers for letting
farm products seek their own price
level as a permanent policy.
In the South, however, cotton and
tobacco growers are known to be
satisfied with the situation as it
stands, favoring tight controls if
prices start to slip.
One of the federation's econo-

indicate is typical of many states"
