St. Louis, Mo. Flight testing should start soon at the air force base near Muroc, Calf.
 The nearest approach to the condition under which the XP-85 will make its first flight was that of the Bell XS-l, a research plane powered by rocket engines. This plane was carried aloft under a B-29 and launched as a glider in mid-air. It was piloted to nor nal landing on its tiny wheels. Af- ter numerous glider flights, the XS-l began power flight tests.
 The XP-85 cannot Hand" ex- cept on it's hook, located just ahead of the cockpit. It was de signed to be carried in the bomb bay of a B-36 bomber, but initial test flying will be from the belly of a B-29.
 Parasite" fighters are an old idea. The navy based such planes aboard the dirigibles Akron and Macon. Those planes could land and take off on the ground, how ever and flew at less than 200 miles an hour-compared with more than 600 miles an hour ex- pected of the XP-85.
 This little fighter, carrying four 5O-calibre machine guns and a wing load of rockets, is powered with a Westinghouse 24C aXial flow jet engine, capable of 5000 pounds thrust Equivalent to about twice that many horsepower when travelling at top speeO.
 Its folding wings are 2l feet wide when extended, and it has extra fins behind the cockpit to aid stability, a problem which is serious because of the wing sweep back and the short fuselage.

Partition Meetings Still Secret

LAKE SUCCESS, R)-The U. N. Palestine partition commission was called together for more se- cret discussions yesterday as Bri- tish and Zionist representatives stood by awaiting bids to appear before the five-nation body.
 Yesterdays session, the third since the commission was organ ized last Friday, was expected to be confined largely to drafting a plan of work and ironing out sev- eral preliminary problems.
 Informed quarters said Moshe Shertok, representative of the Jewish agency for Palestine, and British representative Sir Alex ander Cadogan would be called later this week. The Arab higher committee for Palestine already has indicated it would refuse to send a representative.
 The consultations with the Brl- tish and Jews will bring the com mission face to face with a series of major problems which now have begun to take definite shape Shertok outlined some of these problems in a news conference Monday and a British spokesman has indicated others.

Arctic Coast We'll Supplied With Coal

WASHINGTON (P)-Sufficient coal to meet the needs of Eskimo villages and government schools and hospitals along the Arctic Coast of Alaska can be produced there, the bureau of mines said yesterday.
 It said engineers examined the coal deposits in Arctic Alaska during the summer of l946 and found several suitable for devel-, opment. They investigated the Deering, Fairhaven, Point Lay and Wainwright areas.
 The bureau said the engineers found two plans feasible for work ing for coal deposits. To develop sources of coal at points nearest each village or group of. villages or stockpile coal in the winter for barge movement to the villages in the summer.
 The plans, it continued, would result in cheaper coal than when it is shipped from the United States.
 It said the mining should be done in the winter, owing to eli matic conditions, and the mines sealed in the summer to prevent thawing and consequent roof falls.

Alaskan Game Resources Being Badly Depleted

. WASHINGTON, (P) - Wolves, airplanes and an influx of what he described as trigger-happy Jo5- seekers are running Alaska's game resources, Earl N. Dinner, chan = man of the Alaska game commits sion, said today.
 -- Dinner, a businessman of Pe- tersburg, 100 miles south of Jun eau, and a resident of Alaska 32 years, flew to Washington to bend the ear of everyone in Con- gress" on Territorial Wildlife problems.
 Alaska gets $175,OOO year for game law enforcement and fish and wildlife administration less than for any state" the grey-bearded, bespectacled Dinner told reporters.
 "With $2OO,OO0 additional, we could just barely hold the line on our game resources. We could double our game law enforce ment, which now consists of seven officers for an area one-fifth the size of the United States.
 Alaska's resources have slip ped badly"-particularly regard ing big game-within the past five or six years, Dinner said.
 Caribou have decreased the most seriously, from 100000 to about 25O,000; reindeer herds have diminished to the point that within a very short time what reindeer are left will be mixed with caribou and there won't be any reindeer herds left as we now know them"
 Commercial fisheries, most val uable resource in the Territory are very seriously depleted and decline noticeably every year Alaska cans 510,000,OOO pounds of pink salmon a year, more than 90 per cent of the U. s. salmon pack
