Mr.. Acheson's speech was

Marshall a month later repeat-

emphasized less the part which
mentioned democratic institu-

was open to everybody. It was
hoped Russia would come in.
Immediately Bevin and BIZ

them to discuss ERP in Paris.
Molotov arrived with SO ex-

Russia is now fighting the {

BOXER (0LLApSES, DIES IN RING IN HIS
 FIRST PROF MATCH

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 29.--tR-Ten seconds before the end of his first professional fight, Leroy De Catur, 20-year-old Negro lightweight boxer, collapsed and died in the ring last night.
 It was the last round of four round preliminary bout at Holly wood Legion Stadium. De Catur, a Los Angeles fighter who had fought in 40 amateur bouts, was leading on points in his fight with Fred Her rera, 20 Mexican hattler from Jerox, Ariz., when the tragedy occurred. Herrera also was fighting for the first time professionally.
 It was the nations second pro- fessional boxing death in week, and the 22nd ring fatality in little more than two years. Sam Baroudi of New York died in Chicago week ago today after he was knocked out't night before by E1zard Char les of Cincinnati

Island Paradise Has
Too Many People
by HARRIS JACKSON
AP NeWsfeatl1res


SINGAPORE - One of the small
est units in Britains empire, the
Cocos Islands, today has 1000 more
people than it. needs. This was the
estimate of Sir Franklin Gimson,
governor of Singapore, after a re-
cent visit to the coral islands 1,100
miles southeast of Singapore.
Also known as the Keelings, the
islands have been leased for the
past 12G years to the Clunies-RoSs
family, a member of which origin
ally discovered and settled them.
The crop from about one million
coconut trees is the only cOmmet-
cial product of the little ISLANDS,
although an important cable and
wireless relay station is located
there, and the Royal Air Force
built a landing strip which was
abandoned after the war.
The governor said the islanders
now totalled about 1900, mostly of
Malay stock, but the coconut indus
try as now operated required only
about 800. There are no educational
facilities, the food supply is lex
traordinarily limited" and the
community has mo hopes of ad-
vancenent or improvement in the
standard of living or of obtaining a
wider educational and political
outlook" the governor said.
"The people are simple, very hap
by, and extraordinarily reluctant tC
leave Cocos," he continued, "but,
however contened they are, they
cannot be deprived of the chance
to fit themselves into the present
day world"
Emigration, the governor OBJ,
served, offers several problems
other than financial. The islanders
have no desire to leave the home
where they have been happy under
the paternal wing of the prOprieta-
ry family; wherever they go they
must settle close to the sea or
"they will die of melancholia; and
they are unframed in any except
the simplest handicrafts, making
employment limited. In addition, he
said, the islands are so very
healthy" that the emigrants would
be unusually susceptible to dis
eases ofthe outside world.
Work" for the islanders con-
sists of picking up coconuts (they
don't even climb the trees to shake
them DOWN and delivering them to
the copra center. The people keep
one-fourth of the coconuts for their
own use and are credited at the is
land cOmmissary with the equiva-
lent of about 25 U. S. cents a day
as wages.
The Clunies-Ross family has
subsided food prices, so that costs
are held down, and many islanders
have good credit balances at the
commissary. They hope to buy con-
sumer goods in Singapore when
present high prices drop.
The governor said an agricul-
tural expert who accompanied him
found the soil very poor, suitable
only for cOcOnuts, so crop diversi-
| ficatiOn will not solve the problem.
One answer, he said, may be de-
velopment of cOcOnut bypTOducts,
as the usable husks and fibres now
are discarded. He hopes to interest
/ trustees OF the Clunies-Ross estate
! in this possibility.

WHAT THEY MEAN;
New Tactics For
Aerial Warfare
nv LANES 3. STRFRTG

Associated Press Aviation Reporter
WASHINGTON - Designing and
building jet-propelled warplanes
is only half the job of preparing
future defense in the sky Military
men are pondering what high
speed, high altitude flight means to
combat maneuvers.
The simple fact is that fighting
tactics must be changed. Both
speed and height increase the space
required for aircraft turns.
Dog fighting" which called for
sharp turns, virtually disappeared
between the two great wars as air.
craft got heavier and faster and
few higher. 1t is gone completely
from the future.
The faster a plane flies and the
higher it flies, the more it resem-
bles a rocket in regard to control.
Rockets either have preset control,
automatic target-seeking controls,
or are remotely controlled.
Piloted planes are unlikely to
have preset controls to the extent
that a pilotless missile might have.
Nevertheless, some tactics already
under study call for the plane to be
directed by radaT from takeoff, and
the pilot to be guided to his objec-
tive.
Pilots of jet planes are well a.
ware of the difficulty of making
turns at high speeds and of ten
deney to mushiness in the con-
trolls at high altitude.
At $4,000 feet, the air is only
che-seventh as dense as at sea lev
.el. This means that under similar
conditions, an airplane has only
one-seventh the support at $4,000
feet. The pilot obtains more lift
when at high altitade by flying fas-
ter or increasing the 'angle of at
tack;" that is, pulling up the nose.
Some engineer, using a theoreti-
cal 10,000-pound fighter with 900
miles an hour speed as a basis for
calculating, figured that a frOce 21
times the weight of the plane could
be exerted in fight at sea level, but
that only three times the weight
(or three "G's'') could be exerted
at $4,000 feet.
1t. Col Marion e. Carl, Marine
Corps flier who holds the world
speed record at $50 miles an hounr,
says fight speeds above 600 miles
an hour mean great difficulty in
hitting an attacking plane and
j 1,aoTty aOY,a VoIioo fin,g Il, oo+,1oI Go1,A
ing.
For example, it will be necessary
to identify a plane as an enemy, to
aim and fire before it is possible to
see it with the naked eye. The Obvi-
Gus answer is electronics, or "ra-
oar" as it is usually called.
Head-on attacks, such as were
not uncommon during the recent
war, probably would be suicide. In
addition to the short time allowed
for decisions, the wider turning arc
would make it next to impossible
to avoid hitting an approaching
rlane-Or the debris if bullets
caused it to disintegrate.
Side attacks also present seri-
Gus problems because the DETECTION
OF lead" would have to be greater
Than is possible with present
1 sights.
In addition to such problems
here are some more new complica-
tIons with which aerial fighters
will have to contend: pressuriza-
tion of the cockpit; the increase il
/ temperature in the cockpit due tC
air friction at high speed; election
seats for throwing the pilot cleal
if necessary to abandon the plane
and developing new guns and rock
cts which can be used effectively
at high spoeds.
