AERIAL: Piercing the Sound Barrier

THE heavy long range bombers
4 BIZ, B-24 and B-29-gave
this country air supremacy during
the last war. Now they are out Of
date. Even the giant new B-36,
powered by six conventional en-
gines, may be paSse.
In the three years since the war.
the jet fighter has risen to challenge
the offensive power of the heavily
gunned but comparatively slow
bOmbers.
With the cold war getting increas-
ingly warm, American air experts
have been working overtime trying
to find a bomber that could escape
from the darting speed of jet fighters.
Last week there came official con-
tirmatiOn that the answer to the SUI
personic jet fighter is the supersonic
jet bomber.
Bomber Outspeeds Fighters
This country has accomplished that
tactical feat, at least once. In a recent
speech, Air Secretary w. Stuart SYM
ington referred to "the day the new
jet bomber ran away from some jet
fighters"
Symington also revealed that Ameri-
cans have flown hundreds of miles
faster than the speed of sound.
Air Force flierS intimated this last
reference was to the XII, a rocket
powered plane which is launched
from the belly of a B-29 at high alti-
tudes. That would indicate a speed of
anywhere from $50 to 1000 miles an
hour, since the speed of sound >at 40
600 feet where most XII tests have
taken place is about $50 miles an
hour.
The Air Force intends to send the
XII hurtling toward 1,7OO miles an
hour in tests up to 10000 feet. That is
about Is miles up-the highest man
has ever gone.
The Air Force has been expert

Therefore, continued limitation lis
necessary and proper in order to
aid in relieving hunger and distress. :.
A further brake on any grain
scramble is the possibility that when
controls are restored, Secretary OF
Agriculture Anderson again may
subtract from distillers' allocations
the amount of grain they used
during the period of no controls.
This was done in the case OF
distillers who used large quantities
of grain between the end OF the Co.
day holiday December Is and the
start of a control program January
The administrations hand was
strengthened, in this connection, by
a ruling Friday of District Court
Justice Matthew F. MCGUIRE, who
upheld the validity of Mr.. Ander-
sons January order and its retro

Brewers to Get Proposals.
Meanwhile, it was learnsd that the

concrete proposals for grain saving
this week. 1t was reported to fol-
low the lines of last weeks sugges-

grain use by 20 per cent from a
similar period last year.
The department also is working
on programs to submit to other
grain using industries, including

Father O'Connor said he had
Fasnacht-a World War veteran
admitted to Mount Alto Hospital for
treatment in 1943. He kept track
of the case after the man had been
Jailed again, he said. Father O'Con-
nor also is a veteran of World War I.
Fasnacht's condition grew progress
sively worse in the last six or seven
months, Father O'Connor said. He
broke an arm about three months
ago in a fall and fractured a hip
about two weeks ago while sitting
on the side of bathtub, the priest
related. He said Fasnacht was a
wheelchair case and would have
been physically incapable of violat-
ing parole if permitted to be taken
to an outside hospital.
Wrote to Parole Board.
In December, Father O'Connor
added, he wrote to the Parole Board,
describing the prisoners condition
and stating his need for special
medical care for at least six months.
A Gallinger Hospital physician
Joined him in this communication,
he said.
'I contacted the Parole Board and
they did nothing" Father O'Connor
declared. The board never sent an
investigator and disregarded the
doctors instructions completely.
They acted on a medical case on
which they had no competence to
act"
Hugh F. Rivers, board member
and parole officer, said the board
denied the request of the priest and
physician because it lacked author
ity to extend parole privileges for
such purpose. Mr.. Rivers said
Father O'Connor had been informed
of thespDssibility of having Pasnacht
transferred to the Missouri institu-
ton, procedure originally sug-
gested by the Corporation Counsel

Leo A. Rover, another member of

statement, He said the board was
bound to protect the interests Of the
community, as well as those Of a
prisoner.

could do he said There was
remedy available to this man and
Father O'Connor was advised Of it. .
Mr.. Rover said an appeal to James
v. Bennett, director, of the Federal
Bureau of Prisons, would have been
acted on promptly, and Fasnacht
would have been transferred to
Springfield with little delay if it
had been found he required treat
ment not available to him as a
