Navy Exhibits Latest War Bird,
Its SIont-Winq Toi|Iess 'CutIoss'
NeedIe-Nosed Croft
Rated in We'll Over
6OO-M.P.H.' Class
By ChorIes J. Yorbrouqh
Stor Stoff Correspondent

NAVAL AIR STATION, Patuxent
River, Md. Nov. 19-The Navy un-
sheathed its Cutlass here yesterday,
sleek Jet fighter which looks as
though it's going SO fast the wings
haven't caught up.
Designed for carrier operation, the
needle-nosed, tailless plane is the
Chance Vought XF7U-1, rated in
the well over 600-mile- le-an-hour"
class. Its power plant is twin West
inghouse axial flow turbo-jet en-
gines mounted semi-internally in
the wing roots.
With Capt. F. NJ Trapnell, chief
of the air test section at the con-
trolls, the new speedSter was shown
to 200 newsmen, magazine writers
and radio writers, but as far as top
performance goes, 1t is still under
wraps.
Capt. Trapnell admitted he
wasn't letting it out when he
made eight or 10 low passes over
the crowd, but he said he was hitting
about 500" on most of the trips.
The Navy, highly pleased with
tests thus far, calls the Cutlass the
most radical departure ever seen
in a service-type airplane-and
that's no understatement. A high
speed cousin of the famed CorssiS.
it has been two years from drawing
board to production and is the first
of 10 to be delivered to the Navy.
1t has some of the characteristics
of the flying wing, but there the
resemblance ends. The unconven-
tional design Incorporates two
vertical stabilizers and rudders
located at the trailing edge OF the
wing, but longitudinal and lateral
control are given by pair of what
Chance Vought calls "ailevators"-
combination of aileron and
elevator.
Another unique feature is the alb
sence Of landing flaps and to get the
relatively low speeds necessary for
carrier landings, it is equipped with
leading edge Stats.
All controls are operated by hy-
draulic power, which means actually
that the pilot only signals" for the
work he wants the plane to do.
The fight yesterday was the 25th
made by the plane and tests will
continue for the next II months or
more, the Navy said. 1t may be Is
months before the Cutlass gets
aboard a carrier.
It's cockpit is pressurized and its
pilot seat is ejectable for bailing out
at high speeds.

caused many Government workers
to forgo appeal on ratings they
thought unfair. because they didn't
want to take the chance Of having
their grade lowered still further.
Many employees openly charged that
intimidation was the reason behind
the system.
The commissions decision repre-
sents a major victory for Commits
sioner Frances Perkins, who led the
fight for the change in the face OF
opposition from many Government
personnel officials and even some
of her own colleagues in the COM
mission.
Those opposing the move claimed
it was illegal. But Miss Perkins
thought otherwise and went to the
White House with the issue.
This aroused storm of protest
in the Government, both inside and
outside the commission. And the
proposed order was shelved for the
time being.
But Miss Perkins stuck to her
guns and this week finally achieved
victory. The new order will 60 into
effect next week and will benefit
Government employees greatly.
ORAL HEARINGS-The commits
sion also will issue an order, effec-
tive next week, that will guarantee
Government employees the right to
oral hearings on their efficiency
appeals. This action, however, was
tipped off last month by President
Truman, who said he would instruct
the commission to reassure Federal
employees of their rights to such
hearings. There had been a move
to abolish oral hearings until Pres
ident Truman scotched 1t.

Disbarmenf Action
Is Started Against
Woodrow Faulkner

Disbarment proceedings have been
filed by the District Courts Com.
mittee on Admissions and Griev-
ances against Attorney woodrow e.
Faulkner, charging him with two
counts of malpractice and profess
sional misconduct.
United States marshals handed
Mr.. Faulkner contempt-of-court
citation and a notice Of the disbar-
ment proceedings outside District
Court yesterday.
Clearing himself of the contempt
action, Mr.. Faulkner turned over to
the court $500 which Judge Dickin-
son Let's had ordered him to return
to a bondsman last January. Judge
Let's had followed the restitution
order with another order three
months later calling for the attor-
ney's arrest and threatening a Jail
sentence unless the $500 were paid.
In one of it's accusations the Dis
trict Court Committee charged that
the court mistakenly turned over to
Mr.. Faulkner the $500 which had
been posted in November, 1916, by
Norman T. Embrey, contractor,
living at 406 Rittenhouse street NV.
Not q professional bondsman, Mr..
Embrey had acted on behalf of dis
tant relative in a nonsupport case.
The bond was released to Mr.. Faulk-
ner on the assumption he repre-
sented Mr.. Embrey, it was brought
out in court.
Mr.. Faulkner, who could not be
reached for comment today. con-
tended that Mr. Embrey had en-
lployed him to represent the client.
In the second count the committee
charged Mr.. Faulkner with receiving
$375 to obtain a new trial for a man
jailed for larceny, and then failing
to file motion for the trial
Later, the client filed suit to re-
cover the S375 and was granted 81,
SIS by Municipal Court jury.
Mr.. Faulkner was given 20 days to
answer the committees charges. If
he chooses to fight the charges, he
may be tried before a three-judge
tribunal.

Maryland Facilities I
For Negro Graduate
by Byrd

Establishment of graduate school
facilities at the University of Mary
lands Negro branch-which may
make it unnecessary to admit col
ored persons at College Park-has
been urged by DR.. H. C. Byrd, uni
versity president.
The request, which involves the
initial expenditure of $3,755 900 at
the university's Negro branch, the
Princess Anne State College, was
contained in report submitted to
the State Legislative Council.
Il am confident that if funds are
granted to carry out the program,
this problem will be solved to the
satisfaction of the white race and
to the equal satisfaction of the
Negro race" DR.. Byrd said.
He said the intent of his request
has been widely misinterpreted.
DR.. Byrd pointed out that under
State law the university is required
to provide facilities for all students,
regardless of race, color or creed.
This cannot be done at present
with respect to graduate work, Dr.
Byrd explained. He said requests
by Negroes for admission to the
university's graduate school are in
creasing and it is becoming increas-
ingly expensive to pay for their
tuition at out-of-State schools.
There are no Negroes in the uni
versity's graduate school now, al
though its law school in Baltimore
has admitted Negroes since a court
decision 13 years ago.
DR.. Byrd emphasized that his
proposal did not necessarily mean
that Negroes would have to be ad-
mitted to the universitys graduate
school at College Park. But. he
said If certain facilities are not
available at Princess Anne or at
the Morgan State College at Balti-
more, the applicants, If properly
qualified, would have to be admit
ted to graduate classes at College
Park.
In the report DR.. Byrd also asked :
That Negroes continue to take
undergraduate courses at the Prin-
cess Anne and Morgan State COL
leges.
That advisory boards be set up,
composed of Negroes, for the two
institutions.
That an "adequate' number of
scholarships be established under
the direction of the university's
Board of Regents for qualified Ne
gro students in the fields of medi-
cine, dentistry. engineering and
pharmacy outside the State.
That arrangements be made for
cooperative graduate work between
the College Park facilities and those
at Morgan State and Princess Anne
COLLEGES.
