LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13-Vertica,
launching of regulation jet fighters
was discussed as a serious possibility
today by one of the aircraft in
dustry's leading designers.
1t was suggested that Air Force OF
Navy interceptors could be fired
straight up under their own power
from ramps or trellises somewhat
similar but far simpler than those
for huge German W. rockets.
Such fighters, given little more
thrust than now available. could
climb vertically and even descend
part way backward at very steep
angles and considerable control, ac-
cording to Hall Hubbard, vice presi-
dent and chief engineer of Lock-
heed Aircraft here.
The suggestion was made to writ
ers visiting Midwest and Pacific
Coast aircraft manufacturers pre-
pairing to help supply the projected
70-group Air Force. Mr.. Hibbard
backed this theory with facts.
The expert pointed out that the
new after burner, a ram jet tube
fitted into the exhaust pipe of a
regulation turbo.jet, now adds at
least so per cent to the main power
plant in short bursts, and promises
to double this output soon.
He said a regulation Lockheed
F-8O could be stripped down and
launched vertically with a pilot on
its own power with the present jet
engine plus an improved after
burner.
The after-burner Is q simple de-
vice feeding fuel into the jets hot
exhaust gases. Heat Of the gasses
is intensified and results in greatly
increased power for emergencies
Fuel is consumed so rapidly that II
is practical only for brief periods.

| Stock Prices Remain
Steady as Turnover
OF Session Is Light
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The stock
market coasted through a slow ses-
sion today with only minor variation
in prices.
Gains had slight edge over losses
but turnover was too meager to in
dicate a decisive trend. The gen.
eral undertone, though, was steady
Some traders have expressed dis
appointment because prices have not
rebounded sharply after the last
postelection pounding on Tuesday.
The market has remained relatively
stable since then, however, and at
the same time shown an ability to
absorb considerable selling without
too much trouble.
Slanting ahead most of the short
session were u. S. Steel, General
Motors, Chrysler, Woolworth, Inter-
national Harvester, Schenley. Amer
ican Telephone, Consolidated Edison,
Kennecott Copper, Dow Chemical,
Philip Morris. Standard Oil ND
and Transcontinental 81 Western

time were U. S. Rubber, Western

Fe, Gulf Oil and Eastman Kodak.

Vertical Launching of Planes
Enyisioned for Air Warfare

Mr.. Hibbard said such positive
climbs and returns might be desiI =
able from bases near enemy lines
Or on carriers.
He added he was basing his
theory on equipment either in pro-
duction or within reach and did not
take into consideration rocket
boosters, ram jets or a greatly i'm
proved turbo-jet engine now in de-
velopment.
Mr.. Hibbard, who told us here two
years ago that new aircraft would
break the speed Of sound within 18
months, consented to project his
technical knowledge bit farther in
the future. He thinks as speeds are
stepped up it may be necessary to
fold the wing inside the fusilage
after take-off or collapse it on the
principle of an old-fashioned tele-
scope.
Fantastic power improvements,
Mr. Hibbard said, lie within the pos
sibilities of the present turbo-jet.
Power can be doubled If the en-
gines could Withstand one-fourth
more heat, and liquid or air-cooled
turbine blades may solve this prob
lem even before more satisfactory
heat-resistant alloys are discovered.
The big problem now, he said, is
to design a wing which will allow
an airplane to take of and then be
folded back, retracted or otherwise
reduced to enable the fusilage to
travel like a controlled projectile far
beyond the speed Of sound, The
expert explained that If one of his
company's Consultations had the
power and strength he could fly at
1.700 miles an hour and practically
dispense with the wings except as
directional controls.
"Ail the wing we would need then
would be smaller than this table top
in front Of u.s." he said, "and we
could do away with most Of that If

BY The Assoeiotsd Press

TARENTUM, Pa, Nov. 13.-A 49,
year-old girl was killed last night
by a shotgun blast in the doorway
of a home where she was soliciting

Rankin. He gave this version:
Sterling went to the home of
neighbors to collect money which
had been promised to help buy flow-
ers for the funeral OF mutual
friend.
AS she opened the door she was
hit by a shotgun blast. The gun,
Mr.. Murdock said, was in the hands
of a 12-year-old neighbor boy. A
preliminary investigation indicated
the tragedy was accidental and no
charges will be filed pending q fur
ther inquiry, Mr.. Murdock said.

WHERRY FOR u. S.
SENATOR COMMITTEE

Senator Kenneth ,. Wherry,
Republican of Nebraska, told
the Omaha Guide today thar
he blocked Senate move 10
act against negro leaders ad-
vocating civil disobedence'
because he felt it would un-
fairly agtate against all mem
bers of the colored race.
The Senate action was at
tempted on motion by Senat-
or Eastland, Democrat Of
Mississippi, against Grant Rey-
nolds, Member Of the New
York State Commission OF
Correction. Mr.. Reynolds and
A. Philip Randolph, president
of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters, testified that un-
less segregation and discrim-
nation were ended they would
advocate that negroes refuse
to obey military service ord
ers.
Senator Eastland urged the
Senate to bring the case Of Mr..
Reynolds directly to the at
tention Of Governor Dewey Of
New York, under whom he
works.
Nebraska Senator Wheery
imposed thhe objection which
prevented floor consideration.
Later Senator Wherry ex-
planned that he feels both Mr..
Reynolds and Mr.. Randolph
were terribly wrong" in advo-
vocating such action, and that
hhe is confident that most ne
groes would not follow such a
course in time of national en-
ergency.
"For this reason it seemed
to me fair to the vest major
ity Of the negro population OF
our country to allow further
publicity in the United States
Senate which would serve on
ly to arouse racial animosity
and prejudices,' Senator
