A Barrier Overcome

Air Secretary Symington finally has
brought into the open the Air Forces
worst-kept secret. Nearly everybody in
defense circles, many 'newspapermen and
a host of readers of Aviation Week maga-
zine have known for some months that
the XS-1, Bells rocket-powered parasite"
plane, has flown faster than the speed of
sound. The magazine broke the story last
December prematurely and without au-
thorization. much to the dismay and in
dignation of Air Force officials.
This was-and still is-a big story be-
cause it means that an American is the
first flyer to pierce the mysterious and
formidable sound wall" which heretofore
has frustrated attempts to beat the speed
of sound Geoffrey De Havilland, who was
Britains leading Jet plane test pilot, lost
his life in such an effort. Disaster has
overtaken others in the search for way
safely to break through the strange barrier
of air which piles up ahead of an object
travelling at 760 miles an hour-the sea
level velocity of sound waves The critical
speed varies with altitude.
Pilotless missiles like the W. rocket and
the Navys ram-jet "stovepipe" have far
exceeded the critical speeds, but designing
a man-carrying plane capable of with
standing the turbulence of the air-wall
was not so easy. The Air Force turned the
trick with the small, streamlined needle
nosed xS-1, which is launched from the
undercarriage of a B-29 or other large
plane. This method of launching conserves
fuel and gives the rocket ship an initial
boost that helps it to gain speed quickly.
One remarkable thing about the XS-1 is
that it penetrated the wall without benefit
of swept-back wingsan achievement
which many aviation engineers believed
impossible This was one of the reasons
the Air Force had been so secretive as to
the planes capabilities. Most experiments
in other countries have been conducted
with swept-back wing types
Crashing through the sound wall opens
a whole new field of air pioneering. There
are innumerable problems yet to be solved
before supersonic flight becomes of mill
tary or commercial Importance. Ways must
be found to conserve fuel or to find new
fuels, so that the range of these fast craft
will be increased. The xS-1 can stay aloft
only about 21z minutes, during which 1t
may cover hundred miles. Better equip
mentor the safety and comfort OF human
cargo will have to be developed-especially

Joshua 10th Liebmun

The phenomenal success of Peace of
Mind" which, unique among best-sellers,
is call to self-knoWledge and self-disci-
pline, must be attributed as much to the
character of its author, DR.. Joshua 10th
Lehman, as to the need of the, times. A
preacher whose ministry had brought him
a profound knowledge of human misery
and a philosopher whose affirmative and
liberating creed had been evolved through
the doubts and confusions of troubled
age, he addressed himself in compassionate,
undogmatic tones to those who were still
cropping for sustaining faith. His great
contribution was to reconcile the teach
ings OF prophetic religion with the prin
ciples of dynamic psychology. His thesis,
to state it simply, was that only through
understanding of himself can modern man
be brought to a true love of God and a
realization of his supernatural destiny.
The extraordinary response to his book
imposed heavy additional burdens on the
erudite young rabbi, who was prevailed
upon to extend his parish to the whole
nation. In his attempts to impart to
others the tranquility of spirit which he
had achieved for himself he lectured all
over the country, and in doing so exhausted
his physical resources. His untinely death
at forty -one is mourned by the great con-
gregation of all faiths who found in his
book the path to peace of mind.

A Dangerous Alternative

Senator Johnston's opposition to the
sales tax is shared by others. But If he
sustains his objection to Senate approval
of the District tax BILL already passed by
the House, the remaining alternative is
far more injurious than the sales tax.
That alternative was succinctly stated to
the House last week by Chairman Bates of
the Joint Subcommittee on Fiscal Affairs.
If the attempt is made to meet the Districts
financial needs out of increased taxes on
real estate and personal property, he said,
1T will mean that in two years we will
Just increase the tax burden on the prop
erty owners of the District of Columbia
100 per cent. I am not willing to become
a party to the proposition"
That is the alternative that Senator
Johnston, in blocking passage of the COM
bination sales tax-income tax bill, Is
tacitly suggesting. Mr.. Bates is also an
opponent of the sales tax. But he is mot
willing to become party" to the PROPOSE
ton of doubling real estate and personal
property taxes here in two years. Nor
should Senator Johnston. That PROPOSE
ton will deal a far more severe blow to
the little fellow" whom Senator Johnston
says he wants to protect, than the mod
crate sales tax with its exemptions on food,
medicine and other necessities.
In congressional debate the Districts
real estate tax is sometimes miSrepre-
sented as being low. It is not low tax
at all: it has become a very high tax.
The prevailing 81 rate is coupled with
what is probably the highest standard
of assessment to be found in any city Of
the country, outside of New York. With
less than half the real estate here left on
the tax lists this remaining real estate
without any of the industrial plants which
contribute so much elsewhere to municipal
revenue-is assessed at a higher total
figure than all of the taxable real estate
In any city of the country of million or
less population. 1t is assessed at a higher
figure than the total valuation of cities
much larger than Washington. Only New
York's per capita assessment exceeds the
Ter capita assessment of Washington.
Elsewhere in The Star today there is
printed a letter from Assessor Edward A.
Dent to Mr.. Bates, treating this subject.
It contains great many significant facts
relating to the real estate tax burden
here, some of which are ominous in their
Implications. 1t should be read by the
responsible members of Congress who must
deal with this situation. Real estate is
carrying more than its fair share of the
burden. The results of indiscriminate
increases, piled on those of the recent past,
are becoming evident now and II continued
can exercise disastrous effect.
It is inexcusable that local tax measure
of such vital Importance should have been
permitted to get caught in the last-minute
rush toward adjournment. But that has
happened judicious consideration OF
alternatives should persuade Senator
Johnston to withdraw his objections and
let 1t pass.
