Faster Than Sound
Cincinnati Enquirer

tCmclnndu Enqulrer)
 Another aeronautical frontier has been vauted. According to official announcement, U S. Air Force rocket plane has flown much faster than the speed at Muroc, Calf Presumably the rocket plane-wth human pot-flew at a speed in excess of TOO miles an hour The speed of sound at level 760 miles an hour but the rarefied upper levels it travels more slowly and is rated at about 660 miles hour
 The feat of the Air Force pilot, Capt. Charles E. Yaeger and the hundreds of designers, workmen and technicians who developed this needenosed plane is regarded in engineering circles of the foremost aviation epochs since the beginning of heavier than air flight And well it might be, because when air craft flight passed the speed of sound it forced to contend with a new medium--a medium longer airy" in the accustomed degree but having many properes of liquid in its compressbility The strains and stresses encountered the speed of sound is approached confirmed the fear that plane design would have to undergo radical changes Tn order to contend with or achieve supersonic speed
 Many projetcies, of course, have ranged beyond the speed of sound And the velocity has been ap- preached in some dives (where it often was found that the plsne fell faster without the engine conven- tionol propeller running. The development of the rocket nlane gave designers power far beyond the capability of propeers and at the same time mini mixed the problems of supersonic speed The re- ored velocity of propelers to drive plane at super sonic speed would be frightfu, and new problems in propeller behaviorism would be encountered as the air speed became so great the air acted like liquid instead of gas.
 The new or recently perfected methods of pro- nulson jets and rockets, expected to break the s,,persopic barrier sooner later. And the vista ahead now in war of peacetme uses IS one of even greater annhilation of space in less and less tme

Both Maragon and Helis are Greek by birth and their obvious influence around the White House has led Republicans to wonder how much this close association had to do with selling the Presl- dent on the Truman Doctrine for spending half a billion dollars in Greece. That is another thing the Republicans want to dig into.
 Note-One thing they might also probe is the way General Vaughn and ex-bootlegger Maragon palled around New York with young Athanissios Tsaldaris, son of the then Premier of Greece. Young Tsaldaris. though of military age, was not up in the mountains With General Markos fighting Commun- ists, but enjoying the night clubs of New York with Truman's aides. It is also significant that Premier Tsaldaris awarded Greek decora- tions to General Vaughan and General Wallace Graham, the Pres- ident's grain- speculating physician.

Steel Warnings
CWashington Post)


 Lack of steel is the given for the layoff of 200 900 employees of General Motors. Last April too, steel shortages attributed to the coal miners strike resulted in GM shutdowns. Such periodical inter ruptons production resulting from shortages of basic materials, from whatever cause, warning signal indicating that highly geared economy is extremely vulnerable Obviously all calculations to our pro- ductive capacity will be thrown out if strikes in basic industries loss of output of essential materials But strikes alone do not account for the current short ages of steel of which not only automobile manu- lecturers but also other industries complain. The fact is that industry has been going full steam ahead and most industries operating about close to capacity Ias is possible.
 The current general puslness boom puts terrific strain on basic industries such steel that trying to keep up with the demands of the many industries dependent them for materials. That strain will be intensified hv the demands of the rearmament and European recovery programs To make sure that basic materials needed for all purposes-defense, recovery and civilian utilized to best advantage effort will to be directed, in the absence of compulsory system of allocaton of scarce materials, toward Strengthening systems of voluntary controls to insure continued operation of essential industries and avoid diversion of scarce supplies to nonessential uses.

TRuMAN,s FRIENDS

Another juicy connection which the Republicans intend to expose between now and election is the association between the White House gang and a partner of Frankie Costello, biggest king-pln gambler of the nation.
 The New York State Liquor Authority has now made public officially the long-suspected fact that William Helis, the New Or leans race -horse owner, is associat- ed with Frankie Costello and ex- convict Dandy" Phil Castell as owners of the William Whitely Dis tilling Company in Scotland. Both were pals of Lucky Luciano and the undisputed lords of the New York underworld.
 This s the same William Helis whose room at the Hotel Statler MT. Truman occupied after the Ahepa dinner at which the Presl- dent spoke and Helis presided. Out side Helis' hotel room on this oc- casion stood John Maragon, an -bootlegger. acting guard i'll keeping other dinner guests out oi the room while MT. Truman and MT. Helis chinned inside.

American democracy. Naturally, he had no idea, when he accepted the invitation, that he was playing into the hands of book promoters.
 However, on the special train which bore the two Presidents out to Missouri was also Don Farran, publishing partner of Dr. Crane, and E. F. Gillian, his business manager. Also on the letterhead of The Simon Bolivar Memorial Foundation is listed another of Cranes publishing partners, Robert Fowler. Incidentally, The Bolivar Foundation and Cranes publishing firm share the same offices and seem to be run by the same man.
 pr. Crane, on the train to Mis- souri, told neWsmen that he ex- pected the Bolivar ceremony to give a big boost to the sale of his pamphlets, and that he got a royalty of a half-cent on every six-cent pamphlet sold. He also estimated that he would sell 2,000.- coo copies thls year.
 Crane is also working on a plan to sell literature on another Latin American hero, San Martin, and is promoting the sale of 250,O00 copies of his San Martin pamph- let to Argentina which in turn would have them distributed in the United States.
 While the t4lp v. President Gal legos to the United States was most important, and while statue to Bolivar in Bolivar, Mo, is a fine thing, it could have been ac- complished without having been linked to a commercial scheme.
 That is the kind of thing MT. Truman sometimes naively gets tangled up ill, as result of the Missouri Gang" around him.

MIXING BOOKS AND GOOD WILL

Probably the Republicans haven't got wind of it yet, but sooner or later they may also smell out some highly interesting commercial as- poets about the Presidents recent trip to Bolivar, Mo. It illustrates how MT. Truman unwittingly jumps into things which look per fectly innocent on the surface, but which sometimes have information al repercussions.
 Probably he didn't know, when he agreed to go out to Bolivar, Mo, to dedicate bust of the fa- nous South American hero, that the scheme was cooked up by a publishing house, originally to pro- mote the sale of pamphlets about Bolivar and Latin American coun- tries
 Again it was General Vaughan, the smiling irrepressible military aide, who sold the President on a venture which isn't going to help cur relations with Latin America.
 It happens that General Waugh an is a friend of Dr. John M. c. Crane, writer of pamphlets on Latin America.

SUGGEST So H E

The British proposal that
buyer and seller nations agree
TO distribute their wheat for the
next five years at steady prices
was too much like price control
10 make any Roadway among
American producers.
According to authentic reports,
the British proposed that exporting
countries, including the United
States, agree to sell their wheat at
not more than So a bushel during
the five years of the agreement.
Under the proposal there would
be a minimum price of $1.20 a
bushel for the first four years, with
the minimum price allowed to drop
TO ST. a bushel in the fifth year.
LITTLE SPUD SPOILAGE
Contrary TO common belief
very little spoilage has resulted
from shipping potatoes over
seas. the u. S. department of
agriculture reports.
More than 10,500,000 bushels Of
sweet potatoes were successfully ex-
ported last year and it was found
that spoilage was negligible when
properly handled.

Had Your Ton Miles Today?

Last year the railroads moved more tons of freight more miles
than ever before In time of peace.
They hauled enough tons enough miles, in fact, to average
twelve ton-miles of transportation service every day in the
year for every man, woman, and child in the United States.
That meant loading and moving more carloads of grain,
more cars of coal than ever beforehand more cars of all sorts
than in any of the war years, even though there were fewer
cars available.
With the cooperation of shippers, the railroads are getting
more service than ever before out of each freight car they have.
At the same time they are buying and building all the freight
cars for which materials can be obtained. And they will con-
tnue to do SO until the car supply is adequate to meet the
needs of the nation with even greater efficiency and economy.
These new cars-and the locomotives, the improvements
to track and signals and shops and all the rest of the railroad
a year.
That's one reason why railroad rates have to be enough SO
that railroad earnings will be adequate to attract investment
dollars. For the railroads of tonuorrosO, and the service you will
get from them, depend upon earnings today.
