JET PROPULSION
 LEAD NOW TAKEN
 BY UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-lR- The engineering chief for tke na- tions major builder of jet engines said today that the United States has lat least caught up with and in some ways is ahead" of the British in jet propulsion.
 This view was expressed to the Presidents Air Policy Commission by R. M Hazen, engineering di- rector for the Allison Division of General Motors Corporation, In- dianapolis, Ind Allison builds a large share of the turbo-jet engines now in use.
 Hagen said the United States leads in building and using axial flow compressors-a type in which the air is showed straight back by series of blades, as compared with the centrifugal type in which air is compressed by throwing it off the ends of the blades-and in the use of water injection for extra thrust.
 But, he added, the British gas turbine flight tests are "on law ish scale compared with this country" Hazen urged greater investment of funds and more em- phasis on flight tests here, along with support of experiments to adapt gas turbines to commercial planes.
 He perdicted that within five years all new large aircraft will be powered by turbine engines, the military using turbo-jets (such as the P-80 Shooting Starr for short and medium ranges and turbo-prop Ca gas turbine driving a propeller) for long range planes.
 William M. Allen. president of the Boeing Airplane Company, Se- attle, Wash, outlined a program for maintaining a heavy bomb- CT plant in peacetime. He said the minimum number of employees should be 13,000 and the annual volume of business $80,000,000.
